Some people shared fake news on social media. One video showed a man with voting boxes. People said he was cheating, but he was just following the rules. Another website showed a map with wrong numbers. It said more than 100% of people voted. This was a computer mistake.

部分人士在社交媒體上傳播假新聞。一段影片顯示一名男子攜帶投票箱,有人指控他作弊,但實際上他只是在遵守規定。另一個網站顯示了一張數據錯誤的地圖,聲稱投票率超過100%,而這其實是電腦錯誤。

Some people shared old videos on Instagram and X. The videos showed big protests. People said the protests were about the 2026 election. But the videos were actually from 2019. They were about a different person.

有些人在Instagram和X上分享舊影片。影片中顯示了大規模的抗議活動,有人聲稱抗議是針對2026年選舉,但這些影片實際上是2019年的,且是關於另一個人。

政府仍在調查選票不足的問題,但關於作弊與數字錯誤的傳聞並不屬實。

🕒 Talking about the Past

To reach A2, you need to change action words to show things already happened. Look at how the text changes words:

  • Have \rightarrow Had
  • Become \rightarrow Became
  • Wait \rightarrow Waited
  • Quit \rightarrow Quit (This one stays the same!)

The "ED" Secret Most words just need -ed at the end to move to the past:

  • Wait \rightarrow Waited
  • Share \rightarrow Shared

The Tricky Ones Some words change completely. You just have to remember them:

  • Is/Are \rightarrow Was/Were
  • Say \rightarrow Said

Quick Example: Now: People share news. Past: People shared news.
