Lesson 7 Can I Trust It?

언어 형식

The movie is so boring that I want to cry.

In the ad, “Best Picture” is the award which the movie won.

 

 

Making Good Choices 

 

Emma: What are you doing, Kyle? 

 

Kyle: Oh, Emma. I’m watching the movie, Y-Men 7 on my computer. 

 

Emma: How is it?

Kyle: Don’t ask. 

 

It’s so boring that I want to cry. 

 

Emma: I’m sorry to hear that. 

 

Kyle: I’m so mad. The movie advertisement said it was “The Most Exciting Movie of the Year.” 

 

Emma: Well, you can’t believe everything that you read. 

 

Kyle: They lied on the advertisement. 

 

I’m going to ask for my money back. 

 

Emma: Hold on, Kyle! They didn’t really lie because they used opinions, not facts. 

 

Kyle: Huh? I’m not following you. 

 

Emma: Opinions express people’s feelings like, “The desert is beautiful.” 

 

You can’t say that it’s true or not. 

 

But, facts can be proven. 

 

For example, “The Atacama Desert is in Chile,” is a fact. 

 

You can check that on the map. 

 

Kyle: Okay.... But what’s the connection with movies? 

 

Emma: Let me explain. What’s your favorite movie? 

Kyle: It’s Forrest Gump. 

 

Emma: Okay. Let’s look for its advertisement. What does it say?

 

Kyle: It says, “Winner of 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture.” 

 

Emma: See? It uses facts unlike the Y-Men 7 advertisement. 

 

Do you see the difference? 

 

Kyle: Not exactly. The Y-Men 7 ad says “Most Exciting Movie” and the Forrest Gump ad says “Best Picture.” 

 

Aren’t they both opinions? 

 

Emma: That’s a great question, Kyle. When people use words like “best” or “most,” they are usually expressing opinions. 

 

But in the Forrest Gump ad, “Best Picture” is the award which the movie won. 

 

We can check that on the Internet. That’s a fact. 

 

Kyle: Aha! From now on I’m only going to trust ads with facts. 

 

Emma: It’s not that simple. Most ads mix facts with opinions. 

 

So you have to make a smart choice based on both of them. 

 

Kyle: Got it! Emma, do you want to watch the rest of Y-Men 7 with me? 

 

Emma: Thanks, but no thanks. Enjoy the rest of the movie!
