[单元话题导入]
There is an English proverb saying “Honesty is the best policy.”,which signifies① the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others,they will be honest to you in return.When you are sad,they will comfort you.When you are in trouble,they will help you.
Honesty is regarded as the traditional virtue② of our Chinese nation.Through the ages,people stress sincerity③,and speak highly of sincerity.It has already been incorporated④ in the blood of our national culture.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest.Sometimes honesty may get you in trouble or hurt someone,but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying.Dishonesty can result in guilty⑤ feelings,cause distrust among people and even ruin your reputation⑥.
Even if no one ever discovers the lie,you will know about it and it will bother⑦ you for a long time.Another problem occurs when others know about your lies.As a result,people will not trust you any longer and you will lose your reputation and all your friends.Do you still remember the boy who cried out wolf for several times so no one would trust him? At last all his sheep were eaten by the wolf.His dishonesty brought him shame as well as damage.
So to sum up,honesty not only brings us honour and friendship,but also material gains.Honesty is the best policy we can take.
