fake news
? What about the words conspiracy theory
and hoax
? The topic of fake news has become very popular in the news lately. It refers to information that is not true or not accepted as truth by mainstream society. In this video, I will teach you some key vocabulary we use when talking about fake news. I’ll also give you examples of their use. Next, I will talk about some expressions you can use if someone gives you fake news or tells you a story that isn’t true. After watching, take my quiz to practice the new words and expressions you’ve learned.

Thank you! Interesting lesson.
I’m the first! ?
You are the first? Yeah! But who’s care? :P
I care .
manam … ^_^
i also care Soei :)
I care too.
thanks, Emma, it is an interesting and useful lesson
Uf! I almost don’t finish the lesson because my laptop doesn’t have a good or proper connection to the Internet, but I have achieved to understand the concepts at the end although it has some difficult expressions like “I find that hard to believe”. I have to be thankful to teacher Emma because with her we can improve our comprehension and fluency level of English.
I am grateful to this useful lesson
thnx
I think this lesson was made to confuse people about what the truth really is.
I suspect that Illuminati are behind EngVid…
:P
The truth is out there!!
WHAT IS THAT.ILLUMINATY SYMBOLE
YES.
Is a great learning method
Thank you, Emma!
Ohh, I recently learned another word to refer to a lie: a fib. Interestingly I found that on a science news page and they were saying that when we lie, our nose gets warmer and that is called the Pinocchio effect. I thought it was a hoax or fake news so I looked for another source and went to a peer-reviewed journal webpage and found that it was not just BS, but was inaccurate. The study actually said the nose gets colder instead of warmer. Hehe, I am glad I saw your lesson, Emma! Thank you, very much!
Good one!
Good lesson! Interesting questions to find out the way to the true =)
Thanks, great efforts Emma.

I wanna a suggest for practicing English, I live in Brazil, and I really like to study English, but I just watch some movies in English, use Engvid,listen some music and use “write and improve-by Cabridge”. But I don’t have teacher and I can’t pay a English course, I don’t have friends that speak this language, so I don’t have any idea how I can be fluently! I dream speak one day…
Can you give me suggest to practice the conversation alone ?
Do you think that is possible speak fluently one day without teacher ?

Thank you Emma, it was an interesting lesson, but I would like to know why I got 80 of 100 while I answered correctelly 9 questions?..
Thanks again and will keep following your wonderfull lessons.
Emma, you are the best teacher ever
Thanks
Emma, I think you are not a good teacher, because when you speak I understand you, all your Words and sentences. But, there are many others teachers that I don’t understand. Why? Perhaps, you do not speak correctly? Here in Spain there is a joking similar: “If you understand the company-electrical bill, someone has explained you bad”…
Dear Emma,
You speak English to express the information and make others understand, whereas in India, a teacher speaks English to impress (literary words) the students not to express. That is the reason education in America or Canada or in Europe is considered the best one. Thanks keep us posted.
Dear Emma,
Like others, Hoax is a new for me. Today I got it.
Thank you as well your engvid.com for such a nice course.
a new word… sorry
Great lesson
Thank you Emma

I’m a mom and I’m a bit angry about to be reckoned as a bad source of news….. as a matter of fact ,in this days, politicians are the worst (or the best) makers of fake news. Much more than moms… !!!!
