1. Differentiate ordinary statement and research?
Ordinary statement is a kind of view or outlook taken from one without further basis or evidence
which will prove it true. While research is a careful and organized study to gather information
about a specific topic. It provide proofs that support the statement which makes it diverse from
ordinary opinion.

2. Give the importance of research in your own life.

Research is very essential in my life, not just when Im in classroom but also in real-world from
where on must be wise in order to survive and grow. Knowledge should not just stay as an idea
but it must be transformed too into various application and researching has helped me a lot in
doing this.
Basically, by means of researching, I can recollect data and information which I needed not just
for my school stuff but in other fields too. Now that internet is very accessible for almost all
students, it saves a lot of our time and effort doing our homework. Every problem almost in all
aspects of our life can now be solved if one has the knowledge in conducting a research. Since
Im the kind of curious-type person, research has aided my desire to know things that I didnt
know before. It answer the questions I have I my mind. How to cook certain food, how to dress
well, some tips in taking care of my body, solutions to pimple problem answers to these kind of
questions are a click away.
The key into boosting our intellectual confidence is by storing information that maybe we dont
need for now but for sure we will be needing in the near future. Knowledge is power as they say
and perhaps to have control research is the way.
