Unit 1 Honesty and responsibility 5
B
We know lying is wrong, but everyone tells lies. Why? Maybe we comfort ourselves with the
knowledge 1 most of the lies we tell are white lies. For example, we all have the experience of
someone 2 (cook) a meal for us that we don t like. Usually, we maybe don t tell 3 truth and say
that it is delicious.
One of the main reasons for telling a white lie is 4 (try) to make others feel better. Another
reason is to give 5 (encourage). For example, when your friend 6 (ask) you how he sings, you
surely say it is wonderful, despite 7 (secret) thinking that your cat can sing 8 (well) than him.
However, your friend maybe want your frank comments so that he can improve. Finally, we also tell a
white lie when we want to protect others 9 bad news.
Although we think that telling a white lie can be good for others, we shouldn t hide the truth all the time.
10 would you feel if you discovered that the people closest to you had been hiding the truth from you?
