This story uses words from '3000 most common words in English'. 

TV NEWS music plays and introduction animations fly across the screen. A reporter is standing on the street. Behind her is a loud group of protesters. They are holding signs and chanting. The reporter is yelling to be heard over the noise.

Reporter: I’m here in front of the Ace’s Chicken Company factory. As you can see behind me, 
protesters have gathered to take down the chicken giant. They are chanting Down with Ace and other slogans. They have set up a sound system and are playing loud hip-hop music—which, as insider sources have speculated, is Ace’s most hated genre of music. Let’s now speak to the leader of this movement, Sally. Why are you all out here today?

Sally: We’re not going to stand for the propaganda that Ace has been spreading. He’s published lies about me and is trying to manipulate the public perception of his slaughterhouse. The truth must be known. Ace’s chicken is killing people!

Reporter: And what do you have to say to the opposition? As you know, there is a vocal group of employees who have publicly commented that Ace is a kind leader who only wants what’s best for public health.

Sally: They have been paid off! My sources have told me that Ace personally approached every one of them and offered huge amounts of money, and if they declined, he said he would have their careers destroyed. Ace is only interested in how people perceive him. He isn’t a genuine
manufacturer. He’s a powerful baby!

Reporter: You heard it here, folks. Sally, an ex-employee, claims that Ace is spreading propaganda and paying employees to pretend. Sally, what is it that your group wants?

Sally: We want to see that evil dictator fall!

Reporter: Strong words. Back to you in the newsroom.

Episode 6: Staying Motivated in Learning Turkish

La Llorona es una figura que aterra a generaciones en toda Latinoamérica, y en Colombia tiene su propia versión. Cuenta la leyenda que una mujer, desesperada por el abandono de su esposo, perdió la razón y terminó ahogando a sus propios hijos en un río. Al darse cuenta de lo que había hecho, llena de culpa y remordimiento, se lanzó también al agua.

Desde entonces, su espíritu vaga por los caminos, especialmente cerca de los ríos, llorando por sus hijos y buscando a los niños que encuentra a su paso. Su grito es desgarrador y aterrador: “¡Ay, mis hijos!” Es común escucharla en las noches de luna llena, y muchos dicen que si alguien escucha su llanto cerca, en realidad está lejos; pero si la oyes a lo lejos, es mejor que corras, porque significa que está muy cerca de ti.
