We live in a time when it's becoming more and more difficult to know what information is real and what is fake.

Luckily, there are ways you can find out if a story you're reading online is real, or if it's fake news! Here are three of them:

1. Check the source

Ask yourself whether the information has come from a website you can trust. One good way to do this is to check its URL: most trusted web addresses end in .com, .edu, .net, .gov or .org. — or with the code for the country being reported about, such as .au, .jp or .co.uk.

2. Look for other sources

Check to see if other websites — especially trusted ones — are reporting on the same story. If a website has made up a fake story, then that site may be the only one reporting on it.

3. Check the date

Sometimes a true story will be presented as new, but it actually happened months or even years ago. 

Summary
我們所處的這個時代，變得更難去判別哪些資訊是真、哪些是假。

幸運的是有一些方法，能用來判斷你正在網路上閱讀的新聞報導是真的還假的！ 這裡有三個方法：

1. 檢查來源

問自己這些資訊的來源，是否是你能夠信任的網站。 這樣做的一個好方法，就是檢查它的網址：最能夠信任的網址結尾會是.com、.gov等或是使用與該文章報導相關的國家代碼。

2. 尋找其他出處

檢查是否有其他網站——尤其是可信任的——是否也報導同樣的事情。 如果一個網站編造假新聞，那麼這網站可能是唯一報導此內容的來源。

3. 檢查日期

有時候真實的報導會以新消息來呈現，但它其實是幾個月前或甚至幾年前的事了。
