Well, hello and welcome to
0
410
1258
00:01
this English lesson about cheating.
1
1669
2781
00:04
More broadly, this is a lesson on lying
2
4451
3271
00:07
and cheating and a little bit on stealing.
3
7723
3055
00:10
In English, we often use all three words together.
4
10779
3385
00:14
They mean slightly different things.
5
14165
1951
00:16
But people who lie, cheat, and
6
16117
2015
00:18
steal are not very nice people.
7
18133
2267
00:21
Although I dare say most of you at one point
8
21170
4522
00:25
in your life maybe cheated on something in school.
9
25693
3407
00:29
Maybe.
10
29101
607
00:29
I'm not saying you did, but it's possible.
11
29709
2815
00:32
Human beings like to sometimes take the easy way.
12
32525
5039
00:37
Sometimes they like to, instead of doing it the
13
37565
3039
00:40
way you're supposed to, they like to cheat a
14
40605
2179
00:42
little bit or take a little shortcut.
15
42785
1989
00:44
I'll talk about both of those words in just a
16
44775
2569
00:47
moment, but welcome to this English lesson about cheating.
17
47345
3877
00:51
I noticed the picture is covering
18
51223
1871
00:53
the letter G just slightly.
19
53095
1347
00:54
Sorry about that.
20
54443
1157
00:56
I should have fixed that.
21
56610
1122
00:57
But I think you can tell that it ends in a g.
22
57733
2527
01:00
So welcome to this English lesson about cheating.
23
60261
3509
01:03
To cheat.
24
63771
1090
01:04
So this is a very broad term.
25
64862
2928
01:07
The verb to cheat can be used to
26
67791
2057
01:09
refer to a number of different things.
27
69849
2463
01:12
Probably the most common for me would be to think
28
72313
3999
01:16
about a student who cheats on a test or a
29
76313
3475
01:19
student at school that cheats on their work.
30
79789
3007
01:22
So when you cheat at school, it means instead of
31
82797
3391
01:26
writing the answers down because you have memorized them, you
32
86189
4127
01:30
maybe put them on a little piece of paper, or
33
90317
2131
01:32
you write them on your hand or arm, or you
34
92449
2639
01:35
try to look at someone else's paper.
35
95089
2127
01:37
So when you cheat, it means you don't
36
97217
3541
01:40
do the work you're supposed to at school.
37
100759
1737
01:42
It can also mean if you're playing a game
38
102497
2259
01:44
with someone, instead of following the rules, you break
39
104757
3439
01:48
the rules when no one is looking.
40
108197
2527
01:50
So sometimes when you play cards with someone,
41
110725
2703
01:53
they might keep a card up their sleeve.
42
113429
1973
01:55
No, I don't think anyone actually does that.
43
115403
1821
01:57
But you can also cheat at games.
44
117225
2917
02:00
You can also cheat in a relationship, and I'll
45
120143
2735
02:02
talk about that a bit later as well.
46
122879
2217
02:05
But the general term to cheat refers to.
47
125097
4033
02:09
Let me see, I'm trying to think of the opposite.
48
129131
2647
02:11
It's the opposite of good, nice, kind behavior.
49
131779
4111
02:15
It's like behavior where you're trying to.
50
135891
2949
02:20
Yeah, you didn't do the work, but you're trying
51
140490
2598
02:23
to make it look like you did the work.
52
143089
2251
02:26
So one way that you can cheat, and by the
53
146110
3074
02:29
way, the reason I'm doing this lesson is I read
54
149185
2867
02:32
an article about someone cheating while running a marathon.
55
152053
4741
02:36
So when you run a race, if you
56
156795
2697
02:39
take a shortcut, that would be considered cheating.
57
159493
3029
02:42
So a shortcut would mean if you have to run to the
58
162523
2825
02:45
end of the street and then turn around and come back.
59
165349
2947
02:48
You only run halfway, and then you turn around and come
60
168297
2591
02:50
back and you say that you ran the whole way.
61
170889
3007
02:53
The article I read about someone cheating in the
62
173897
2591
02:56
marathon, they actually ran part of the marathon, and
63
176489
3859
03:00
then they took a city bus for part of
64
180349
3039
03:03
the marathon and then got off.
65
183389
1823
03:05
By the way, a marathon is a 26 miles competitive run.
66
185213
4897
03:10
So obviously, if you take a bus during a
67
190111
3777
03:13
marathon, that would be cheating, but the more specific
68
193889
4495
03:18
term would be to take a shortcut to copy.
69
198385
4313
03:22
So when you cheat at school by looking at someone
70
202699
2857
03:25
else's paper or someone else's test, we call this copying.
71
205557
4693
03:30
Sometimes when you are writing a quiz, okay, not you.
72
210251
4699
03:34
Sometimes when some people are writing quizzes,
73
214951
3031
03:37
they don't know the answer, and so
74
217983
2169
03:40
they copy from the person beside them.
75
220153
2767
03:42
They look over their shoulder and they look at,
76
222921
3407
03:46
okay, what do they have for number one?
77
226329
1647
03:47
And then they write it down.
78
227977
1219
03:49
What do they have for number two?
79
229197
1423
03:50
And then they write it down.
80
230621
1215
03:51
So when you cheat at school, we
81
231837
2335
03:54
generally refer to it as copying.
82
234173
3013
03:57
We also call it cheating, of course.
83
237187
2153
04:00
So the official term in
84
240830
3042
04:03
an academic setting is plagiarism.
85
243873
3013
04:06
The verb is to plagiarize.
86
246887
2207
04:09
So when you copy another student's
87
249095
3107
04:12
work, we just call it copying.
88
252203
2495
04:14
But when you go on the Internet and you
89
254699
3193
04:17
take someone else's words and sentences and paragraphs and
90
257893
4239
04:22
you put them into a school assignment and say
91
262133
3187
04:25
you wrote those words even though you took them
92
265321
3231
04:28
from someone else, we call that plagiarism.
93
268553
2933
04:31
We say that you have plagiarized.
94
271487
2175
04:33
You have decided to take someone else's
95
273663
3307
04:36
writing and say that you wrote it.
96
276971
3009
04:39
Not a very good idea.
97
279981
1567
04:41
This is very serious.
98
281549
1669
04:43
In school, if you are caught plagiarizing,
99
283219
3263
04:46
it goes on your permanent record.
100
286483
2201
04:48
And I think in most schools, if you plagiarize
101
288685
2713
04:51
more than once, you might get kicked out.
102
291399
2121
04:53
In some schools, if you plagiarize
103
293521
1701
04:55
once, you could get kicked out.
104
295223
1913
04:57
So don't take other people's writing and
105
297137
2895
05:00
say that it is your own. Don't use the.
106
300033
1987
05:02
That's why I have the copy.
107
302021
1237
05:03
Paste sentence or images here.
108
303259
3241
05:06
Don't go and find something and copy and
109
306501
2271
05:08
paste it and say that you wrote it.
110
308773
3679
05:12
Not a good thing to falsify.
111
312453
2713
05:15
So I falsified this award.
112
315167
2563
05:18
I falsified this award last night.
113
318390
2050
05:20
I found a template for world's best teacher, and
114
320441
4063
05:24
I put my name on it with the date.
115
324505
1999
05:26
I put it really far in the future
116
326505
1555
05:28
because maybe I will win this award.
117
328061
2021
05:30
I don't think so.
118
330083
1049
05:31
But when you falsify something, we
119
331133
3695
05:34
are usually talking about documents.
120
334829
2361
05:37
Maybe someone claims they're a doctor,
121
337790
2152
05:39
but they falsified their diploma.
122
339943
2319
05:42
They just made it themselves.
123
342263
1317
05:44
Maybe you are applying for a
124
344110
2594
05:46
job and you falsify the documents.
125
346705
2485
05:49
So you create documents that are not true.
126
349191
3949
05:53
You say, oh, I won best teacher in Portugal in 2023.
127
353141
5615
05:58
Here's my award.
128
358757
1285
06:00
But it's simply something that you made.
129
360043
2569
06:02
You didn't actually get the award.
130
362613
1929
06:04
We would say that you have falsified that document.
131
364543
3663
06:08
So even the signature down here, I falsified that.
132
368207
4393
06:12
It's not my real signature.
133
372601
1621
06:14
So when you create a document yourself and
134
374223
3773
06:17
make it look like a real official document,
135
377997
2485
06:20
we would use the verb falsify.
136
380483
2067
06:23
And then in court, I hope this
137
383370
2338
06:25
isn't someone from an actual news article.
138
385709
2053
06:27
But in court, if you say you saw something
139
387763
5627
06:33
that didn't actually happen, we call that false testimony.
140
393391
4567
06:37
If I see an accident and my friend drives into
141
397959
4553
06:42
someone else's car, and then I go to court and
142
402513
2995
06:45
say, no, the other person drove into my friend, it's
143
405509
3109
06:48
the other person's fault, that would be false testimony.
144
408619
3631
06:52
This is also a bad thing to do.
145
412251
1801
06:54
You can go to jail, I think, if you lie in court.
146
414053
3481
06:57
But we would call that false testimony.
147
417535
2127
06:59
When you go to court and you lie about
148
419663
2889
07:02
what you saw, it's better to go and tell
149
422553
3219
07:05
the truth if you are a witness to fudge.
150
425773
5125
07:10
So this is kind of a funny one.
151
430899
1701
07:13
Often when you play a sport where you write
152
433290
3826
07:17
down your own score, sometimes the people you're playing
153
437117
4057
07:21
with might fudge their score a little bit.
154
441175
2537
07:23
When you fudge your score, it means, like, if you're playing
155
443713
2629
07:26
golf and it took you five hits to get the ball
156
446343
4399
07:30
in, you hit the ball from the tee, and you hit
157
450743
2765
07:33
it three times on the fairway, and then you putted once
158
453509
3807
07:37
on the green, and it was five total shots.
159
457317
3493
07:40
And then you go and you write four on it.
160
460811
4025
07:44
We would say that you are fudging your golf score.
161
464837
3369
07:48
So you're cheating a little bit,
162
468207
2743
07:50
you're lying a little bit.
163
470951
1121
07:52
You see how cheating and lying are
164
472073
2559
07:54
kind of similar, but sometimes people will
165
474633
3503
07:58
fudge their golf score a little bit.
166
478137
1715
07:59
So depending on what your friends are like, you might want
167
479853
3455
08:03
to keep an eye on them when they write their score
168
483309
2773
08:06
down to make sure they're not fudging their score.
169
486083
3903
08:09
And by the way, I see someone say,
170
489987
1869
08:11
oh, Hafia says, I love to eat fudge.
171
491857
2117
08:13
Fudge is actually a food as well.
172
493975
1977
08:15
A very sweet, sweet, yummy food made
173
495953
3183
08:19
from, like, sugar and condensed milk.
174
499137
2645
08:21
Very yummy.
175
501783
1027
08:23
So this is a big one.
176
503650
1666
08:25
This is a little tricky to talk about because I like to
177
505317
2991
08:28
keep my lessons safe for work, safe to use in school.
178
508309
3647
08:31
But when you are in a romantic relationship,
179
511957
3183
08:35
you will have a physical relationship as well.
180
515750
2962
08:38
You will sleep together, and sometimes one of
181
518713
2831
08:41
the partners will sleep with someone else.
182
521545
2735
08:44
And we call that cheating.
183
524281
2069
08:46
The formal term is adultery.
184
526351
2627
08:48
Adultery is when, if you're married to someone and
185
528979
3481
08:52
one of the people in the marriage goes and
186
532461
2335
08:54
has sex, like sleeps with someone else.
187
534797
2639
08:57
We call that adultery, but the more
188
537437
2403
08:59
common word would be to say cheat.
189
539841
2837
09:02
He's cheating on his wife,
190
542679
1983
09:04
she's cheating on her husband.
191
544663
1791
09:06
It means they've gone outside of the relationship
192
546455
2725
09:09
and are getting physical intimacy from another person.
193
549790
3270
09:13
So the official term adultery, but the
194
553061
3391
09:16
more common way to describe this would
195
556453
2015
09:18
be that someone is cheating on someone.
196
558469
2831
09:21
So in this picture, he might think
197
561301
2691
09:23
his wife is asleep, and then it
198
563993
1455
09:25
looks like maybe he's texting another woman.
199
565449
2533
09:27
I don't know.
200
567983
489
09:28
I don't know the details.
201
568473
1429
09:29
Anyways, adultery and cheating to cut corners.
202
569903
5503
09:35
So this happens in construction.
203
575407
2419
09:37
Sometimes this can happen on large projects.
204
577827
3599
09:41
In order to save money, people might not
205
581427
3785
09:45
use the right materials or the proper methods
206
585213
4581
09:49
when they're building something or doing something, and
207
589795
2893
09:52
we say that they are cutting corners.
208
592689
1973
09:54
They do this to save money.
209
594663
1637
09:56
There was recently a building close to me
210
596830
2466
09:59
where the company building it cut corners.
211
599297
4985
10:04
They kind of cheated a little
212
604283
1545
10:05
bit and lied a little bit.
213
605829
1391
10:07
And then the building started to fall over.
214
607221
2367
10:09
Yes, that even happens in Canada.
215
609589
2133
10:11
Buildings sometimes under construction
216
611723
2579
10:14
start to fall over.
217
614303
1033
10:15
So when you cut corners, you're cheating a little bit.
218
615337
4495
10:19
You're trying to make money by not using
219
619833
3583
10:23
the proper materials or maybe just not using
220
623417
3939
10:27
the right method for what you are doing.
221
627357
3391
10:30
Forgery.
222
630749
1029
10:31
So sometimes people will forge documents.
223
631779
3967
10:35
Now, I talked about falsifying documents.
224
635747
3331
10:39
Forging documents is similar, but usually you
225
639079
3497
10:42
forge things that are more important.
226
642577
2911
10:45
So I might falsify documents, but
227
645489
2863
10:48
I might forge a new passport.
228
648353
2489
10:50
I might find a really nice painting in the world
229
650843
2777
10:53
and use my elite painting skills to create a forgery.
230
653621
3957
10:57
I might forge it.
231
657579
1193
10:58
So it's basically more like lying in paper form.
232
658773
5583
11:04
If I got a US passport and tried to put
233
664357
2515
11:06
my picture into it, I would be forging documents.
234
666873
4021
11:10
And that is highly illegal as well.
235
670895
2729
11:13
Again, you can see how this lesson is a
236
673625
1939
11:15
little bit about lying and cheating and activity that
237
675565
5115
11:21
I think isn't helpful in the world to embezzle.
238
681290
5256
11:26
So when you embezzle, this is a
239
686547
2925
11:29
form of theft that happens at work.
240
689473
3935
11:33
So someone who embezzles steals money
241
693409
3647
11:37
from the place they work.
242
697057
2127
11:39
So they either submit false documents saying they did
243
699185
5171
11:44
work, that they didn't do, so the company pays
244
704357
2277
11:46
them for it, or they take money directly from
245
706635
3545
11:50
the cash register, or if they're in charge of
246
710181
4047
11:54
the accounting, if they're in charge of keeping track
247
714229
2947
11:57
of money spent and money earned, they might create
248
717177
3423
12:00
like a little system where they get some of
249
720601
3663
12:04
the money and it goes to their personal account.
250
724265
1935
12:06
So there are a number of ways to embezzle.
251
726201
2169
12:08
I don't know how to embezzle, buddy, but this would
252
728371
2617
12:10
be stealing money from your boss, from your work.
253
730989
4127
12:15
So you're kind of cheating them out of their money.
254
735117
2863
12:17
You're finding a way to take money that isn't yours.
255
737981
4073
12:22
And then I guess you just hope you don't
256
742055
2319
12:24
get caught with all of this cheating stuff, like
257
744375
3801
12:28
every version of cheating, you're just hoping you don't
258
748177
2217
12:30
get caught, I guess, to cheat the system.
259
750395
5049
12:35
So this is a phrase we use to talk about someone
260
755445
3375
12:38
who's found a way to cheat and not really get caught.
261
758821
5209
12:44
Okay, so a good example would be, in sports,
262
764031
3615
12:47
sometimes athletes find a way to cheat the system
263
767647
3161
12:50
so they know if they take performance enhancing drugs,
264
770809
4085
12:54
if they take steroids or other things, it will
265
774895
2573
12:57
make them a better athlete.
266
777469
1957
12:59
Well, won't make them a better person.
267
779427
2553
13:01
It will help them perform better in their
268
781981
2911
13:04
event or in the sport they play.
269
784893
2367
13:07
And then they might know there's testing, but
270
787261
2851
13:10
they might know how to cheat the system.
271
790113
2159
13:12
Maybe they know that if they stop taking the
272
792273
3519
13:15
steroids three months before the competition, then when they
273
795793
3615
13:19
have a drug test, it won't show up.
274
799409
2319
13:21
You can also use this to talk about money and taxes.
275
801729
3433
13:25
There's a system for collecting income tax, but maybe
276
805163
2649
13:27
you found a way to cheat the system.
277
807813
2383
13:30
You found a way to pay less tax because you
278
810197
4115
13:34
found a way to get around paying what you owe.
279
814313
3621
13:37
So to cheat the system means there's a system and you found
280
817935
4441
13:42
a way to not follow the rules and not get caught.
281
822377
3933
13:47
False advertising.
282
827770
1752
13:49
So this one happens a lot.
283
829523
2665
13:52
And I consider this more lying than cheating.
284
832189
4069
13:56
But false advertising is when you see something in a
285
836259
4509
14:00
magazine or newspaper or on TV or in the ad
286
840769
4111
14:04
before a YouTube video and it looks amazing.
287
844881
3311
14:08
And then when you buy it, it looks different.
288
848193
2895
14:11
So here's some false advertising.
289
851089
2569
14:13
You see the hamburger on the far side? Looks amazing.
290
853659
3209
14:16
Look at that.
291
856869
687
14:17
What a beautifully made hamburger.
292
857557
2213
14:19
And then if you go buy it,
293
859771
1737
14:21
it might actually look like this one.
294
861509
1539
14:23
It's a little bit mushed and it
295
863049
1919
14:24
doesn't look as big or as perfect.
296
864969
2941
14:27
False advertising is actually
297
867911
2289
14:30
illegal in most countries.
298
870201
2989
14:33
You can't put a picture up of a hamburger with two
299
873191
3941
14:37
patties, and then if someone buys it, it only has one.
300
877133
2783
14:39
That would be very flagrant false advertising.
301
879917
3477
14:43
But I think in most of the world, you can't
302
883395
4627
14:48
promise one thing, and then when people pay you, you
303
888023
2953
14:50
give them something different that is considered false advertising.
304
890977
4713
14:56
I think some advertising, most
305
896910
2770
14:59
advertising is a little bit.
306
899681
2083
15:01
You don't always get exactly what you
307
901765
1967
15:03
want, do you, when you buy something?
308
903733
1947
15:07
Table talk.
309
907570
850
15:08
You can cheat at games.
310
908421
1445
15:09
There's things like stacking the deck.
311
909867
2047
15:11
There's things like table talk.
312
911915
1673
15:13
We talked about this in my lesson
313
913589
1993
15:15
on games a few months ago.
314
915583
2167
15:17
If I'm playing a game and if I'm
315
917751
3191
15:20
playing it with a partner who's sitting across
316
920943
2873
15:23
from me, so we're on the same team.
317
923817
2243
15:26
And if we use certain sentences or words to
318
926061
4511
15:30
mean things, like if I say to Jen, while
319
930573
3055
15:33
we're playing cards, I don't feel so good.
320
933629
2367
15:35
It might mean, hey, I have really good cards in my hand,
321
935997
4479
15:40
or it might mean I don't have good cards in my hand.
322
940477
2723
15:43
So table talk is a form of cheating when
323
943201
3391
15:46
you're playing a game, specifically a board game.
324
946593
3247
15:49
So it's like you're talking in code
325
949841
3011
15:52
to the person you are playing with.
326
952853
3467
15:57
And then stacking the deck would
327
957090
1538
15:58
be specifically in a card game.
328
958629
2911
16:01
If there are four people playing and you are dealing
329
961541
3369
16:05
without anyone noticing, you put the cards in the order
330
965490
3286
16:08
you want so that you, or maybe if you have
331
968777
2991
16:11
a partner, get the best cards for that game.
332
971769
2511
16:14
Stacking the deck.
333
974281
1045
16:15
And we use this phrase in life as well.
334
975327
2365
16:17
Sometimes the deck can be stacked against you if you
335
977693
4335
16:22
apply for a job, and the other person applying is
336
982029
3423
16:25
like the nephew of the person who owns the business.
337
985453
2847
16:28
We would say the deck was stacked against you.
338
988301
2399
16:31
You're not going to get the job underhanded.
339
991390
4200
16:35
I could not find a good picture
340
995591
1487
16:37
for this, so I found this one.
341
997079
2021
16:40
Underhanded means to do something sneaky or dishonest
342
1000290
4072
16:44
or devious, or crooked or deceitful or sly
343
1004363
2495
16:46
or fraudulent or shifty or wily.
344
1006859
2719
16:49
So when you are underhanded, you're not truthful. Okay.
345
1009579
4777
16:54
It would be underhanded for me to say, if you buy
346
1014357
3795
16:58
my used camera, you get three extra batteries with it, but
347
1018153
3775
17:01
then two of the batteries aren't for that camera.
348
1021929
3173
17:05
That would be underhanded.
349
1025103
1375
17:06
So I'm making it look like you get three batteries, but
350
1026479
3629
17:10
two of them won't actually work when you try them.
351
1030109
2671
17:12
So when you're underhanded, I think
352
1032781
1711
17:14
the best word would be dishonest.
353
1034493
2133
17:16
And deceitful.
354
1036627
1038
17:17
Those would be the two words
355
1037666
1758
17:19
I would choose for underhanded bribery.
356
1039425
4825
17:25
I thought this picture was funny because it's like
357
1045390
2929
17:28
an envelope full of money, and it says Mr.
358
1048320
3060
17:31
Governor on it.
359
1051381
1135
17:32
So bribery takes place when you give someone money, so
360
1052517
5695
17:38
they do something that they're not supposed to do.
361
1058213
3151
17:41
So let's say you wanted to win a lot
362
1061365
2963
17:44
of money by betting on a sports team.
363
1064329
4461
17:48
You might then cheat the system a bit because you
364
1068791
3745
17:52
bribe the coach to make sure they lose the game.
365
1072537
4947
17:57
Okay, maybe there's a boxing match and, you know, one
366
1077485
4463
18:01
of the fighters, and you want to bet a million
367
1081949
3215
18:05
dollars on who will win the boxing match.
368
1085165
3087
18:08
And then you pay the fighter, you know, $50,000.
369
1088253
3807
18:12
You give them a $50,000 bribe to
370
1092670
2802
18:15
basically pretend they get knocked out in
371
1095473
2111
18:17
the third round or something like that.
372
1097585
1647
18:19
So bribery is when you give money illegally,
373
1099233
4657
18:23
so someone does something that benefits you.
374
1103891
4257
18:28
Okay, students never do this, but in a school, if a
375
1108149
4479
18:32
student said, I'll give you $20 if you give me a
376
1112629
2899
18:35
perfect score on my quiz, that would be bribery.
377
1115529
2693
18:38
I would lose my job if I accepted a bribe like that.
378
1118223
4727
18:42
So bribery is when you give someone money, I
379
1122951
2757
18:45
think usually someone in charge of something, right?
380
1125709
4463
18:50
So that they do something for you
381
1130173
4639
18:54
that benefits you to stretch the truth.
382
1134813
4657
18:59
So, again, this is more on the line of
383
1139471
2081
19:01
lying than cheating, but it can relate to cheating.
384
1141553
3669
19:05
So maybe, like this shirt says,
385
1145223
2297
19:07
it was this big, honest.
386
1147521
1871
19:09
Often when people go fishing,
387
1149393
2613
19:12
okay, let me rephrase that.
388
1152007
1625
19:13
Sometimes when people go fishing, they catch fish that
389
1153633
2595
19:16
are this big, and they put them back in
390
1156229
1999
19:18
the lake, and when they get home, they say
391
1158229
1519
19:19
they caught a fish that's this big. Okay?
392
1159749
2879
19:22
So they're stretching the truth.
393
1162629
1861
19:24
They did catch a fish.
394
1164491
1759
19:26
They're just kind of lying a little
395
1166251
1917
19:28
bit about the size of it.
396
1168169
1535
19:29
The reason I put this up about fish, though,
397
1169705
2191
19:31
is there was an example a few years ago
398
1171897
2239
19:34
where there was a fishing competition, and it was
399
1174137
4515
19:38
by weight, and the people were catching fish, and
400
1178653
3775
19:42
then they were putting fishing weights in the fish.
401
1182429
3253
19:45
So the fish weighed more to try and cheat.
402
1185683
3327
19:49
So they wanted to win the fishing competition, and
403
1189011
3197
19:52
they did it by not just stretching the truth,
404
1192209
2549
19:54
like, they went a little further, they actually cheated.
405
1194759
3055
19:57
So I guess when you fish, you have lead weights, right?
406
1197815
4295
20:02
You have your fishing line and you have a
407
1202111
1857
20:03
hook, and you might have weights on the line.
408
1203969
1763
20:05
And so they were using those weights.
409
1205733
2057
20:08
So when they caught a fish, they were
410
1208530
1538
20:10
using those weights to make the fish heavier
411
1210069
2037
20:12
to try and win the competition.
412
1212107
3463
20:16
Not a good idea.
413
1216230
1074
20:17
You shouldn't cheat in a competition,
414
1217305
1813
20:19
eventually you're going to get caught.
415
1219119
2151
20:21
Let's do one more to get.
416
1221271
1425
20:22
Oh, there's that slide.
417
1222697
2085
20:24
This is a good slide.
418
1224783
1263
20:26
This is what happens when, if you cheat,
419
1226047
3411
20:29
you don't want to get caught, right?
420
1229459
2393
20:31
The whole idea of cheating is that
421
1231853
1775
20:33
you're doing something to help yourself.
422
1233629
2479
20:36
That's not good.
423
1236109
1583
20:37
But if you do get caught, that's the phrase we use.
424
1237693
3103
20:40
So the teacher here, it looks
425
1240797
1475
20:42
like these two people are cheating.
426
1242273
1493
20:43
They're passing information to each other, and the
427
1243767
2841
20:46
teacher is like, hey, what are you doing?
428
1246609
2047
20:48
And pointing at them.
429
1248657
1727
20:50
So cheaters often get caught. Okay.
430
1250385
4115
20:54
If you cheat at what you're doing, there's
431
1254501
2901
20:57
always a chance that you might get caught.
432
1257403
2319
20:59
And then after you get caught, you
433
1259723
1785
21:01
will have to pay the consequences.
434
1261509
2841
21:04
That's the phrase we would use, doping.
435
1264351
2431
21:06
So this is a specific term for what athletes
436
1266783
3743
21:10
do to try and increase their performance using drugs
437
1270527
5155
21:15
or other methods in order to run faster or
438
1275683
3913
21:19
lift heavier weights or perform better in their event.
439
1279597
4975
21:24
So sometimes you'll see a news article
440
1284573
2309
21:26
that says cyclists caught doping in the
441
1286883
5485
21:32
last race or during the Olympics.
442
1292369
2037
21:34
You might hear about an athlete is disqualified
443
1294407
3215
21:37
because they did a drug test and found
444
1297623
1913
21:39
out the athlete had been doping.
445
1299537
2041
21:41
So when you take performance enhancing drugs,
446
1301579
3743
21:45
and there's a variety of them, we
447
1305323
2633
21:47
sometimes refer to that as doping. Hacking.
448
1307957
4565
21:52
If you play any computer games, it's frustrating
449
1312523
3059
21:55
when the person you are playing with is
450
1315583
2597
21:59
better than most humans could be.
451
1319030
4226
22:03
So I played a game called counterstrike when I
452
1323257
2527
22:05
was younger, and sometimes you just knew someone you
453
1325785
5443
22:11
were playing against was cheating because even when you
454
1331229
2639
22:13
were hiding behind a wall where no one could
455
1333869
2239
22:16
see you, they would somehow get you.
456
1336109
2931
22:19
So hacking, this would be.
457
1339041
2399
22:21
I think we would call these wall hacks.
458
1341441
2117
22:23
There's also aimbot.
459
1343559
1407
22:24
There's different types of hacks you can use when
460
1344967
4009
22:28
playing a computer game that allow you to cheat.
461
1348977
3401
22:32
It's very frustrating to play a game
462
1352379
2809
22:35
when it's not a level playing field.
463
1355189
3055
22:38
When you have a level playing field, it means
464
1358245
1871
22:40
no one is cheating, and it's just your own
465
1360117
3075
22:43
abilities that are helping you win or lose.
466
1363193
3781
22:46
But when someone hacks, they take advantage
467
1366975
2655
22:49
of everyone else with their cheating.
468
1369631
2179
22:53
So there's a phrase in English, if
469
1373590
2518
22:56
you cheat, you're only cheating yourself.
470
1376109
2639
22:58
And I'll explain this a little bit.
471
1378749
2011
23:01
Let's say you have an English test coming up and
472
1381290
4562
23:05
you cheat on the English test, and then you get
473
1385853
3699
23:09
a job based on the results of that test.
474
1389553
3467
23:13
But they find out really quickly, you
475
1393550
1762
23:15
can't actually speak English very well.
476
1395313
2319
23:17
You've cheated yourself like you think you got
477
1397633
3039
23:20
ahead, but eventually you just get fired.
478
1400673
2985
23:23
Another example would be if you really want
479
1403659
3193
23:26
to run the 100 meters, race really fast
480
1406853
3567
23:30
and you use steroids or some other drugs
481
1410421
2293
23:32
to cheat, you didn't really win, did you?
482
1412715
4521
23:37
Like you won against people who weren't cheating.
483
1417237
4073
23:41
So you're really just cheating yourself.
484
1421311
1833
23:43
You're making yourself feel better,
485
1423145
1695
23:44
but it's actually a lie.
486
1424841
1765
23:46
You're not actually better than the other people.
487
1426607
3293
23:49
So if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself.
488
1429901
3069
23:52
A cheat sheet.
489
1432971
951
23:53
So this came up a bit earlier.
490
1433923
2095
23:56
There are two kinds of cheat sheets in the world.
491
1436019
3133
23:59
In some classes, the teacher will say, you're allowed
492
1439153
5205
24:04
to bring a cheat sheet to the exam.
493
1444359
2101
24:07
Crazy, isn't it?
494
1447230
1586
24:08
This happens in some senior level
495
1448817
2755
24:11
math classes at our school.
496
1451573
2367
24:13
Even the teacher might say, you are allowed
497
1453941
3077
24:17
to bring a cheat sheet with formulas.
498
1457019
2767
24:19
Let's say it's a geometry test where
499
1459787
2601
24:22
you need to know PI r squared.
500
1462389
1529
24:23
In other formulas, the teacher might say, you can bring
501
1463919
3753
24:27
a piece of paper to the exam and you may
502
1467673
2703
24:30
write the formula for diameter area of a triangle.
503
1470377
4661
24:35
You're allowed to have those general formulas
504
1475039
2687
24:37
on your cheat sheet, but nothing else.
505
1477727
2365
24:40
And then when you write the exam, you
506
1480093
2719
24:42
have the formulas, but I mean, you still
507
1482813
1935
24:44
have to know how to use them, right?
508
1484749
1931
24:47
In french class for younger students, sometimes we say
509
1487390
5440
24:52
you can bring a cheat sheet that shows you
510
1492831
2529
24:55
how to put verbs into the passe compose, whether
511
1495361
4335
24:59
it uses avoir or etra as its auxiliary verb.
512
1499697
4217
25:03
So we don't say write all the answers on the piece
513
1503915
3433
25:07
of paper, but we sometimes allow students to bring a little
514
1507349
2959
25:10
bit of information in that can be helpful for them.
515
1510309
3103
25:13
So we call that a cheat sheet.
516
1513413
2137
25:15
When it's official, it's allowed.
517
1515551
2527
25:18
So you're not actually cheating.
518
1518079
1359
25:19
But some students will bring in a cheat sheet
519
1519439
2159
25:21
when they're not allowed, and then they're actually cheating.
520
1521599
3411
25:26
Cheat day.
521
1526470
1170
25:27
If you watch what you eat, if you are
522
1527641
3891
25:31
someone like me that thinks a lot about, okay,
523
1531533
2223
25:33
what am I going to eat today?
524
1533757
1519
25:35
I don't want to eat too much.
525
1535277
2013
25:37
And then you do that Monday through Friday, you might
526
1537291
4181
25:41
have a day on like Saturday might be a cheat
527
1541473
3045
25:44
day where you allow yourself to eat whatever you want.
528
1544519
3705
25:48
So we would use the word conscientious.
529
1548225
3797
25:52
That means you think a lot about what
530
1552023
1805
25:53
you eat throughout the week, but you might
531
1553829
3103
25:56
have a day where you're allowed to cheat.
532
1556933
1749
25:58
You're allowed to have donuts.
533
1558683
1295
25:59
So for me, I'm not this strict about
534
1559979
2473
26:02
it, but I do know people who, they
535
1562453
2159
26:04
eat very healthy food most of the month.
536
1564613
3811
26:08
But then two or three days out of the
537
1568425
1919
26:10
month, they have a cheat day where they're allowed
538
1570345
1989
26:12
to eat whatever they want, a big pizza.
539
1572335
2495
26:14
Big pizza, a couple of donuts, et cetera, et cetera.
540
1574831
3187
26:18
And we call that a cheat day.
541
1578019
1721
26:19
A day where you are allowing yourself to cheat.
542
1579741
3049
26:23
And then back to the original, when
543
1583690
2786
26:26
you cheat, you have the title cheater.
544
1586477
3445
26:29
So if someone cheats on something,
545
1589923
1997
26:31
we say they are a cheater.
546
1591921
1669
26:33
So he used steroids to win the 100 meters dash.
547
1593591
3375
26:36
He's a cheater.
548
1596967
1383
26:38
She copied the answers from her friend.
549
1598351
2625
26:40
She is a cheater.
550
1600977
1605
26:42
She cheated on the test.
551
1602583
2189
26:44
She is a cheater.
552
1604773
1893
26:46
So you don't want to get that label.
553
1606667
1935
26:48
You don't want to be called a cheater.
554
1608603
1423
26:50
It would not be a nice thing to do.
555
1610027
2373
27:05
All my.
