🟦 Dialogue|媽媽迷上年輕演員 Ryan Bank(In the living room)
Zac 看到媽媽在哭——原來是她最愛的演員(actor)Ryan Bank 在電影裡哭,他的演技觸動她的心(touches my heart)。媽媽說:I’m old enough to be his mom,還說永遠不會看膩(be bored with)他的電影;Ryan 有才華又勤奮(talented and hard-working),八歲開始演戲至今已經得過好幾個獎(has won several awards)。Zac:I’m surprised to hear that.
🟩 Dialogue(一小時後)|盜版鬼片?媽媽做錯了
Ryan Bank 的新片看起來很刺激(exciting),講古城堡(castle)裡的鬼(ghosts)。爸爸討厭恐怖片,Zac 說 I’ll pass——恐怖片對他來說很無聊(boring),而且電影限 18 歲以上,他年紀太小不能看(too young to watch it)。Zac 發現電影還在上映,媽媽卻從網路(Internet)下載(download)——是盜版(pirated)!媽媽:Sorry, I set a bad example. I was so excited that I didn’t think clearly. 她決定上網訂票(book a ticket online),Zac:I’m proud of you, Mom.
🟨 Reading|Are You Sharing Lies?(你在散播謊言嗎?)
讀到很有趣的貼文(post)就馬上(right away)分享到 Line 群組,可能就在散播假(fake)訊息。電視、報社會先查證事實,網路上卻沒有人(nobody)幫忙查證,任何人(anybody)都能張貼,有人還故意(by design)寫假新聞衝點閱(hits)。三個方法分辨差別(tell the difference):查作者和來源(source)、看句子有沒有拼字錯誤(spelling mistakes)、上事實查核網頁(fact-checking web page)。分享前要 think twice,Don’t let people trick you into spreading lies.
