Can sb explain about the difference between viewpoint and notion?
And in this sentences , which word will be chose?
“Many people believe that all school pupils should be made to learn at least one foreign language . Others , however , argue that there are possible disadvantages to this …”
A notion is a loose concept or idea that has been created by somebody else other than you. A viewpoint is an opinion or understanding of something you have arrived at yourself by thinking about it. Let me know if this helps you solve the exercise yourself. By the way, please don’t use punctuation marks excessively (I’ve removed the additional question and exclamation marks you had posted.)
