Jokes in the news

On April Fool's Day, there are often jokes in the news, on TV or on websites.

In 2008 the BBC _ (make) a short video which _(show) the "news" that some penguins had _ (learn) to fly! Two big UK newspapers _ (write) about the "important story" on their front pages.

One year in the UK, a children's news programme _ (say) that scientists had _ (invent) a "Brain Band". It was a coloured headband that you put on your head and it helped to make you more intelligent!

Another famous joke is "Google Nose". Google said it _ (to be) a new app you _ (can) use to search the internet for a smell. For example, if you ___ (search) for "flowers", you could click a button and smell them!

Of course, every day we need to think carefully about what we believe when we read or watch news and other stories, especially online. But on 1 April, be extra careful! Happy April Fool's Day!
