1,YouTuber jailed after staging plane crash in Calfornia to make video
This headline is saying that the YouTuber who staged a plan crash and was jailed for it. But we're looking at the word "staging". A stage as a noun is that place in the theatre where the actors stand and perform. There is a connection between that stage and this stage in the headline. So the stage in the headline is a verb and it means to put on a performance like you do in theatre, but it doesn't just have to be related to the theatre. Stage can also means to generally organize and do something. So this YouTuber planned to and then actually crashed his plane. He staged it though, but it was not an accident. It was a performance. He did it deliberately for his followers, his fans.
And we have some other examples of stage. So you can stage a walk out, or a protest. This means a group of people organize and then actually do it. So they actually walk out or protest usually because they're unhappy about something, they want to see a change. And stage can also mean pretend. So we do something fake to trick people into beliving it's ture. For exmaple, you can stage an argument.
2,YouTuber Trever Jacob jailed after crashing plane and skydiving to safty for video views 'and financial gain'
This headline says that this influencer crashed his plane for finacial gain. 'Gain' is the word that you probably already know this a verb which means to get something useful or positive. But in the headline here it's used as a noun. Gain as a noun means an increase in something, such as size or amount. So the YouTuber wants to increase his video views and money. That's why he crashed the plane and that's why the headline says 'financial gain'. 'Financial gain' is common epression, and it means an increase in money which is seen as a positive thing. Other common adjectives which go with gain are net gain and weight gain.
And it's also possible to use gains in the plural. This could refer to reward, like or maybe an increase in productivity.
3, Olympian snowboarder sentenced in YouTube airplane crash stunt
This headline has beeen sentenced and that means punished by law often as in this case going to jail. Stunt can be an action like that usually seen in a film or TV show and it's somthing that looks dangerous. That's why it has to be done by a stunt airtst. But stunt has slightly diffrent meaning in this headline. Stunt here can also mean that something is done for attention and we see stunt in this headline meaning both the first definition and this one about attention. So the snowboarder crashed his aeroplane just to get attention.
Recently I bought a new vocabulary book. This book is for TOEIC, and it's harder than the other books which I'd used ever. Absolutely there were the words that I'd never seen, but it includes the word that I've already known and gotten by studying BBC learning English or TOEIC's offical text books. It's difficult for me to learn new vocabulary, but I'll do with remembering them!
