What are the benefits of uniforms at work? 

The red herring fallacy, one of the many logical fallacies you might encounter in essays, speeches, opinion pieces, and even casual conversations, is an attempt to reroute a discussion from its original topic and focus on something unrelated.

🎭 La Muñeca de Sofía 🎭

Sofía encontró una muñeca antigua en un mercado de antigüedades. Sus ojos de vidrio parecían seguirla a donde fuera, pero a pesar de lo inquietante que era, decidió comprarla. Al llegar a casa, la colocó en su habitación, sin notar que, desde ese momento, pequeños sucesos extraños comenzaron a ocurrir: las luces parpadeaban, los objetos cambiaban de lugar y, por las noches, juraba escuchar susurros.

Una noche, Sofía despertó con una sensación extraña. Miró hacia su escritorio y vio la muñeca… pero esta ya no estaba sentada donde la había dejado. Ahora estaba en la silla, frente a su cama, con su cabeza inclinada como si la estuviera observando. Atemorizada, la tomó y la guardó en un armario, pero al día siguiente, la muñeca apareció nuevamente sobre su cama, con una siniestra sonrisa en su rostro.

Desesperada, Sofía llevó la muñeca de vuelta al mercado, pero el vendedor la miró con sorpresa. “Esa muñeca… yo nunca te la vendí”, dijo con un escalofrío en la voz. En ese instante, la muñeca cayó al suelo y se escuchó una risa tenue en el aire. Sofía salió corriendo sin mirar atrás, jurando no volver a comprar nada en ese lugar. Pero cuando llegó a casa, su corazón se detuvo: la muñeca la estaba esperando en su habitación.

StoRyporter - Turkish A2-B1/2

A2-Hikaye1

Life's too short to read the small print, right? The small print, sometimes called the "fine print" is the name for the terms and conditions you find on websites, contracts and other documents.

The size of the text is often a little smaller and there can be quite a lot of it. For these reasons, some of us don't read it all — even though we know it can be very important.

A company from the UK decided to test how many people really do read the small print.

The company, called Tax Policy Associates, hid a little surprise in the privacy policy on its website, offering to send a nice bottle of wine to anyone who read it.

It was the idea of company founder Dan Neidle. He wrote in the policy: "We will send a bottle of good wine to the first person to read this."

The policy was posted online in February, but the company was only contacted about the wine in May!

He told the BBC that it was a "childish protest" because "all businesses have to have a privacy policy" even though no one reads them.

Neidle added: "Every tiny coffee shop has to have a privacy policy on their website, it's crazy."

He said that the person who found the sentence about the wine had been writing their own privacy policy, and they were looking for examples.

That lucky person was sent a bottle of French red wine and the sentence offering the free wine has now been taken out of the policy!
