这篇写的我真是痛苦啊,绞尽脑汁也想不出主干写什么。大家如果有什么好点子请提出来,谢谢~ There are times when lying is acceptable.
People always emphasize that honesty is an indispensible character , however , I believe lying is acceptable in some cases. Sometimes ,we have to tell lies to avoid hurting some people , which are called “white lies ” in English. This kind of lie is harmless and goodwill.
We all experience all sorts of things in daily lives, some make us happy, and some are sad.To somebody, reality is so cruel. It’s better to tell them lies than let them know the truth. Imagine that an little child has lost his father, telling him that his father has gone to a peaceful place called heaven is much more gentle . Death is too scary to a little child. Obviously ,the purpose of this lie is to give the child a harmonious growing enviorment.
For the same reason, we can make white lies to some patients,especially ones get a cureless illness. Keeping a happy mood is helpful for a patient. A recent nationwide study conducted at a university by experts shows that, 40 percent of patients who have no idea with their cancers have been cured , while only 10 percent of the patients knowing about their illnesses are saved. Actually, after being told that they have cureless illness, a lot of patients feel hopeless,and then give up the cure.
Sometimes, “white lies ”are a custom in culture. At Christmas Eve, all the children expect Christmas Granpa to come to their rooms, and put the Christmas presents in the socks.This is a lie,but all the adults make this fairy real to the children, in order to give them a fantastic childhood. Undoutedly,this is nice for a child’s growing. When the child grow up, he will do the same thing and give his kids a happy childhood too.
In conclusion, I hold the opinion that there are times when lying is acceptable. This doesn't mean honesty is not necessary, and we just want to protect the people we love.
