Activity 7
In my opinion, from this article, I don't think it will work because liars also tend to use pronouns
like "we" and "they" instead of me as pronouns because they perceive an internal dance and thus
escape from lying. Hence the results are inaccurate.

Activity 8
1. They ask people to come to the lab to lie, and they ask other people to tell the truth.
2. The most important test is the length of the information, another sign is the excessive use
of sensory words such as "see", "feel" and "touch". Third, liars also tend to use pronouns
like "we" and "they" instead of "me" to avoid lying because they feel guilty. The last thing
is that people often use negative emotional words.
3. Peter Collett said that "You can see if somebody is lying by looking at their body language,
how the fast they talk, and how they speak" and "How can a computer program see all
this? they've clearly done a lot of research, but with emails all you have is word."
Activity 9
My opinion is that Maya is still alive because she sent long text messages to the boss, so I think
she's trying to give a lot of excuses. In the text, we can see that Maya looks very deep and tries
to pay attention to her boss. On the other hand, it can be seen from the text of the email that
Simon is not lying. We can conclude that Simon immediately said he could not go to work.
