1.Four were buried alive, while 2,000 were trapped in Kuala Lumpur Landslide.The tragedy comes five days short of the anniversary on 1993's landslide which killed 48 people in that same area where the landslide happened.Shaiful Khas, aged 20 was one oof the four people who died in the disaster.When Shaiful Khas was recovered from the rubble, he was holding on to a ringing cellphone.14 Bungalows were crushed by the landslide.
Opinions:
It was a tradedy that the landslide happened, and it happened at 4 a.m in the morning when most of the people /residents are asleep.Boulders blocked every access road near the top of Bukit Antarabangsa.The rescue workers had to push the boulders off the access road and had to cut bushes and use ropes to help residents walk to safety.Some people had to cross over a small tiny bridge over a hude monsoon drain to reach the main road.I think that deforestation over undevelop area and the recent rain may cause landslide.
2.SMRT Bus drives off with four years old girl's leg trapped in the door.The bus driver accidentally shut the door on the girl's left leg and drove off.The driver was unaware of the situation, and the bus continued to move on, until until her grandmother banged on the door to get his attention.The girl's grandmother,56 years old suffered from abrasions on her knees as she held on to his grand daughther, preventing her grand daughter from dragging along the road.
After a metre or so, the bus driver stopped the bus, but did not offered any help.
Opinions:
The bus driver was unaware of the situation, and when he is aware of it, he did not offered any help or to send them to the hospital.That shows that he is not responsible and is a irresponsible person.But the bus driver claims that he offered them help and ask them if they want to go to the hospital but was turned down.The girl's grandmother said that the bus driver is telling a different story, and did not even mentioned the word 'Ambulance'.The girl's mother,Madam Tan
Loo Peng said,"We are not looking for compensation as we can always pay the medical fees ourselves.We are angry over the fact that the bus driver was very irresponsible!"The bus driver was fired.

For part 1,the 'opinions' section is merely an elaboration on the news contents.
Similar case of part 2,except that you stressed 2 times on the apparent irresponsibility of the driver in one sentence.
Take note of the difference between opinions and facts.
Dear Glad,
Agree totally with your sis. Why don't you read the blogs of Aurora, Amanda & Hlin for more examples. Facts are what you know from the news, opinions are what you think will happen to you, your family or your country after the event reported in the news. Thus they are different. So far you have just merely been reporting what you know from either listening to or reading news. Looking forward to your next post.
