Answer these questions!
Always ask for the facts!
Sometimes people think that their opinion is a fact. It’s important that you get the facts on your own. 때때로 사람들은 그들의 의견이 사실이라고 생각한다. 사실을 스스로 파악하는 것이 중요하다.
The news doesn’t always say facts. Question everything! 그 뉴스가 항상 사실을 말하는 것은 아니다. 모든 것을 질문해라!
“Is that a fact?”

Having opinions is good. Everyone has opinions on what they like or don’t like.
