   A 선생님, 이 글 보셨어요? 지하철 2호선이 공사 때문에 내년부터 1년 동안 운행을 안 한대요.

   Seonsaengnim, i geul bosyeosseoyo? Jihacheol 2hoseoni gongsa ttaemune naenyeonbuteo 1nyeon dongan unhaengeul an handaeyo.

   Have you seen this post? It says Subway Line 2 won't run for a year from next year because of construction.

   B 저도 아침에 봤어요. 벌써 공유가 만 번이 넘었더군요.

   Jeodo achime bwasseoyo. Beolsseo gongyuga man beoni neomeotdeogunyo.

   I saw it this morning too. It had already been shared over ten thousand times, I noticed.

   A 사진도 있고 공문처럼 생겨서 진짜인 줄 알았어요. 기사로 써 볼까 해요.

   Sajindo itgo gongmuncheoreom saenggyeoseo jinjjain jul arasseoyo. Gisaro sseo bolkka haeyo.

   There's a photo and it looks like an official document, so I thought it was real. I'm thinking of writing it up as an article.

   B 쓰기 전에 같이 확인해 봐요. 처음 보면 사실인 듯 보이지만, 이상한 데가 몇 군데 있어요.

   Sseugi jeone gachi hwaginhae bwayo. Cheoeum bomyeon sasirin deut boijiman, isanghan dega myeot gunde isseoyo.

   Before you write it, let's check it together. At first glance it looks true, but there are a few odd things.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 어디가요? 저는 잘 모르겠는데요.

   Eodigayo? Jeoneun jal moreugenneundeyo.

   Where? I can't tell.

6. 6

   B 먼저 출처를 보세요. 누가 처음 올렸는지 나와 있어요?

   Meonjeo chulcheoreul boseyo. Nuga cheoeum ollyeonneunji nawa isseoyo?

   First, look at the source. Does it say who posted it first?

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 아니요, 그냥 "아는 사람한테 들었다"라고만 쓰여 있어요.

   Aniyo, geunyang "aneun saramhante deureotda"ragoman sseuyeo isseoyo.

   No, it just says "I heard it from someone I know."

   Line 7

   B 그게 첫 번째 문제예요. 그다음엔 서울시나 교통공사 홈페이지에 공지가 있는지 확인해야 돼요.

   Geuge cheot beonjjae munjeyeyo. Geudaeumen Seoulsina gyotonggongsa hompeijie gongjiga inneunji hwaginhaeya dwaeyo.

   That's the first problem. Next, you need to check whether there's a notice on the website of the city or the subway corporation.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 홈페이지에는 아무 공지도 없어요. 공사 계획은 있는데 주말에만 한대요.

   Hompeijieneun amu gongjido eopseoyo. Gongsa gyehoegeun inneunde jumareman handaeyo.

   There's no notice on the website. There is a construction plan, but it says the work will be done only at weekends.

   Line 9

    B 그럼 사진 속 문서도 보세요. 날짜를 쓰는 방식이 시청 문서랑 달라요.

    Geureom sajin sok munseodo boseyo. Naljjareul sseuneun bangsigi sicheong munseorang dallayo.

    Then look at the document in the photo too. The way the date is written is different from city hall documents.

    A 정말 그러네요. 마치 진짜인 듯 꾸며서 만든 거군요.

    Jeongmal geureoneyo. Machi jinjjain deut kkumyeoseo mandeun geogunyo.

    You're right. So they dressed it up to look real.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 마지막으로 담당 부서에 직접 전화해서 물어보면 돼요. 기자라면 그건 꼭 해야 돼요.

    Majimageuro damdang buseoe jikjeop jeonhwahaeseo mureobomyeon dwaeyo. Gijaramyeon geugeon kkok haeya dwaeyo.

    Finally, you just call the department in charge and ask. If you're a reporter, you absolutely have to do that.

    A 방금 전화해 봤는데, 사실이 아니래요. 오늘 오후에 설명 자료를 낸대요.

    Banggeum jeonhwahae bwanneunde, sasiri aniraeyo. Oneul ohue seolmyeong jaryoreul naendaeyo.

    I just called, and they said it isn't true. They said they'll put out a statement this afternoon.

    Line 13

    B 잘했어요. 그럼 이걸로 짧은 기사를 한번 써 보세요.

    Jalhaesseoyo. Geureom igeollo jjalbeun gisareul hanbeon sseo boseyo.

    Well done. Then try writing a short article with this.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 이렇게 시작하면 어때요? "서울시는 2호선 운행 중단 글이 사실이 아니라고 밝히며, 시민들에게 주의해 달라고 요청했다."

    Ireoke sijakamyeon eottaeyo? "Seoulsineun 2hoseon unhaeng jungdan geuri sasiri anirago balkimyeo, simindeurege juuihae dallago yocheonghaetda."

    How about starting like this? "Seoul City said the post about Line 2 suspending service was untrue, and asked citizens to be careful."

    Line 15

    B 좋아요. 이제 제목만 정하면 돼요. 가짜 뉴스보다 빨리 퍼지게 한번 써 봐요.

    Joayo. Ije jemongman jeonghamyeon dwaeyo. Gajja nyuseuboda ppalli peojige hanbeon sseo bwayo.

    Good. Now you just need a headline. Try writing one that spreads faster than the fake news.
