Watch this short video about a newly discovered colony of penguins with an unusual ability.
What do you think this ability could be?
YES! Penguins CAN FLY!!! Can you imagine that? What do you feel about this new discovery? 
 Are you surprised by this new discovery? 

HAVE YOU FALLEN FOR THE NEWS?
HAVE YOU BELIEVED THE NEWS?
Yes, this news is a HOAX!
Do you know what HOAX means? We' re going to learn it in today's lesson, as well as 
some more words associated with APRIL FOOLS' DAY and we're going to find out  how this holiday is celebrated in some countries around the world.

Let's start by the vocabulary:
If someone 
-plays a trick on you                                                       - deceives you                                    
-plays a prank on you    IT MEANS that someone        - makes you believe something that's not true.
-plays a joke on you                                                        - fools you. 
-plays a hoax on you 

Click to look up the meaning of the words in WORDREFERENCE dictionary.
practical joke - inocentada
hoax - broma
prank - ?
trick - ?
If you are a gullible person, that is someone who believes things easily (crédulo, ingenuo), you will fall for a hoax.
- to fall for (creerse)- to be fooled, to be tricked.

Now,  I want you to read an article to find out more about April Fool's Day! 
The article is bit long and challenging but I'm sure you can do it!

      Hi Gabriela!
      Penguins are birds and like all other birds, penguins have feathers. But they can't fly. Unlike those of flying birds, the feathers on a penguin wing are very short and densely packed.
