Fake NewsBeginning English, Week 6, Fall 2020
Fake news. Maybe you heard those words recently. What is it?
Fake news is when people make up stories and say they are facts.
It is causing problems around the world.
Fake news is making people believe things that are lies.
Remember, facts are real. But stories can be fake.
In the old days, it was easy to spot fake news. People usually knew what was fake and what was real.
But the Internet and cell phones have changed things. Anyone can make fake news,
and many people can read it.
How do you spot fake news? First, question it. Ask if it seems real.
Second, do the facts look weird or wrong?
Is the writing incorrect? Does it have a lot of spelling or grammar mistakes?
And does it also have weird photos or pictures?
If you see fake news, you should just ignore it. You can also tell your friends and family that it is fake news.
