Many ESL students have a hard time with LEGAL words and news stories. If you study the terms and process above--you should have an easier time understanding stories you read in the news^^ I am NOT a lawyer, so if there is someone with advice on how to make this easier or more clear, please let me know^^

What is a fallacy? "fallacy"는...lie인가? 뭐야?!

A fallacy is something that everyone THINKS is TRUE, but ACTUALLY it is NOT true.

Hmm...what are some examples...

Be careful of bats...they can get stuck in your hair!!

A total fallacy. Bats use "sonar" or "echoes" to navigate--they can pick a tiny bug out of a tree...they will NEVER get caught in your greasy hair!!!


Bananas cause weight gain!

Nope. That is also a total fallacy. They are rich in potassium (K), Vitamin C AND bananas have NO fat! They even help you NOT crave other sweet foods^^

Fallacies are fun to find...but they're not easy to find.
Can you think of any other fallacies?
