Introduction

Some people believe that Rudloe Manor in England has secret files about aliens.

Main Body

Rudloe Manor is a very old house. The British government took the house during World War II. They built tunnels and rooms under the ground for military secrets. Robert Pulme and other researchers say this place is like Area 51. They believe the government keeps files about UFOs here. They say guards still protect the house today. Some people also say the house has ghosts. They believe they see an old soldier and a servant. However, there is no proof for this.

Conclusion

Guards still protect the site. Researchers want the government to show the secret files.

🕵️ The 'Fact' vs 'Belief' Pattern

In this story, we see two ways to talk about things. One is for real facts and one is for ideas/beliefs.

1. Real things (They happen/exist)

  • The house is old.
  • Guards protect the house.
  • They built tunnels.

2. Beliefs (People think it is true)

  • Some people believe...
  • They say...
  • They believe they see...

💡 A2 Tip: The 'Something' Rule

Look at how we use 'Some' and 'Other' to group people:

Some people →\rightarrow (Group A) Other researchers →\rightarrow (Group B)

When you want to describe a mystery or a debate, start your sentence with "Some people believe..." to show it is not a proven fact.
