Intro
Gossip is talk or rumors about other people. Sometimes it’s harmless, but when it’s untrue and mean it can hurt people’s feelings. Some people only like to dish about people they know, but others are interested in celebrity gossip, or stories published in tabloids about famous people’s lives. A good rule about gossip is that you shouldn’t say anything behind someone’s back that you wouldn’t want to say to their face.
Vocab
Example I heard a rumor that you're going to star in a TV commercial. Is it true?
Example I never read the tabloids because I can never tell if the stories are true.
Example I would never spread a rumor behind someone's back. That's mean.
