White Lies
White lies are small lies that we tell to protect someone because we don't want to hurt their feelings,or we want to be polite For
example,you may tell your best friend that she sings well when she doesn't,or you tell your mum that the food she cooks is
excellent instead of what you really think.These kinds of white lies help maintain good relations with people who are important
to us.
However,white lies do not always bring about good results.
They may cause unexpected embarrassment or trouble for the
people being lied to.What's more,there's always a risk that people being told a white lie will find out the truth.If a white lie is
discovered,it can lead to a crisis of trust and possibly damage the relationship.For instance,your friend wants to participate in
One possible version
school singing competition.You know she sings badly and will
need some professional lessons if she wants to take part.Despite this,you tell her out of kindness that she will certainly win the
competition because she is a great singer.When she loses in the
first round and notices other students laughing at her,she feels
embarrassed and realizes you lied to her.She is certain to become angry with you and start to wonder what other lies she has been
told.
Choosing not to tell white lies can be difficult because it means you risk hurting those you care about.However,the risk of
ruining relationships is higher if you are caught in a lie.For this reason,I choose not to tell white lies and I'd rather face the
consequences of always being honest so that people will know their trust in me is not misplaced.
One possible version
Write your own understanding of
white lies and then polish your writing
according to the evaluation that has
been mentioned in the class.
