Download this free B2–C1 English worksheet PDF for adult learners and English teachers. This lesson is based on a real case involving glowing testimonials, stock images and questions about trust in online reviews.
Students practise reading comprehension, useful vocabulary, phrase matching and speaking skills through a real-world topic about fake reviews, consumer protection, online ratings, misleading testimonials, credibility and business responsibility. The worksheet is suitable for private English lessons, online classes, advanced conversation practice and homework before a discussion lesson.
The article explains that an Australian reader came across glowing testimonials on a childcare website and looked into one of them. A reverse image search suggested that the photograph was not of genuine customers but had been traced back to a stock-photo library.
This worksheet encourages learners to discuss how much trust people should place in online reviews. Students consider whether proof of purchase improves reliability, whether star ratings oversimplify complicated customer experiences, and how businesses should respond when fake or misleading material is discovered.
The article also explores the wider issue of credibility. Students read that warning signs may include sudden bursts of praise, repeated wording, generic claims and several accounts linked to the same source. The lesson asks how platforms can weed out fake comments without deleting genuine criticism.
The PDF includes a B2–C1 reading article, True / False questions, Phrase Match, Synonym Match, a task where students use new language, discussion questions and a full answer key. It helps learners discuss consumer law, online trust, fabricated testimonials, platform responsibility, privacy, verified identity and how dishonest reviews can damage both customers and responsible businesses.
