Decide which sentences are opinions and which are facts and give reasons. (Suggested Answers: 2 an 3 are facts; 1 and 4 are opinions; A fact must be real, objective and without a personal judgment.

Of the three eyewitnesses, only Anna Petrov has no selfish reason. In particular, she is not involved in any current effort to find the treasure. Therefore she is the most believable.

Jan Hasek is less believable because he owns a little restaurant near the mine. If the search stopped, his business would suffer.

Hans Braun is also less believable, because somebody has asked him for help. ) Step 3. Speaking (Summary)
