Answer:
Dear Brother Rahul,
I've learned that you're in poor company these days. All of your buddies are spoiled, wealthy people's sons. I've also heard that you skip classes and return to the hostel late at night. It's alarming to learn that your pals are notorious bad boys with a variety of terrible behaviors.
This is a major source of anxiety for the whole family. The father seems to be cool, while the mother cannot disguise her feelings. She often weeps as a result of the complaints about your behavior.
Explanation:
You did a great job! I only tweaked the grammar a bit.
"Café Olympia serves coffee from all over the world" (B) states a fact rather than an opinion.
When writing essays for school, or researching information to support your writing, it is important to be able to stay factual and avoid stating opinions (unless you are specifically asked to do it, or unless you explicitly mention that you are quoting a biased work).
These characteristics should help you identify an <u>opinion</u>:
- appreciation verbs like <em>enjoy</em>, <em>hate</em>, <em>wish</em>, <em>believe, </em>etc.
- adjectives expressing value judgement like <em>best</em>, <em>good</em>, <em>bad</em>, <em>favorite</em>, <em>disappointing</em>, <em>fascinating</em>, <em>boring</em>, etc.
- clear involvement of the narrator, for example when the subject is <em>I</em> or <em>we</em>.
Conversely, a <u>factual</u> statement usually has:
- a distanced narrator, who does not get involved
- information which can be checked, like in answer B: "coffee from all over the world."
