11.12.17NADo you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is impossible to becompletely honest with your friend.
Have youever tell a white lie to your friends and family? What is you intention to tellthem the white lie instead of the truth? I believe is for their best intereststo avoiding anxious as well as calming down their heart. If so, you definitelywill stand on my side, which is depends on the circumstances, for our belovedfamily and friends; it is impossible to completely honest with them.
To startwith, People tend to act protective to their family and friends when it comesto complicated issues. They do not want to cause any anxiety, which is probablywon’t do any good for the current situation. Take myself as an example, I livefar away from my parents, one time I got a favor, I just manage myself to go tothe hospital and get treated. As usually, my parents called me and see how itgoes with me. Instead of telling them that I was in the hospital, I told themthat I was with a friend, because I know telling them the truth won’t helpanything for my sickness. Moreover, it only will make them worried about me.
Anotherequally important point is white lie will help people go through the difficulttimes. Take the movie of Forest Gump as example. Little forest is a lower IQchildren, normal school won’t accept him as a student; they suggest forest’smother send him to special school which is for handicaps. On the contrary,forest’s mother not only didn’t send forest to the special school, but alsotelling him that he is just likes everybody else. Surprisingly Forest turn outto be a national hero, a championship of sports as well as a very successfulbusinessman.
Admittedly,It is very hard to tell white lies or dishonest with friends or family. We dowant to them to share our joy and sadness. However, generally speaking,sometimes telling white lies is good for the situation compared to justcompletely honest with friends or family.
Inconclusion, we want our friends and family to be happy. So when it comes tocomplicated situations I think it’s better to just tell white lies.
The readingpassage explored the issue of whether Ethanol is good replacement for gasoline,the author analysis three specific reasons for disagreement. However, theprofessor’s lecture holds the opposite opinions. And he argues back to the 3counterparts reasons.
To beginwith, the reading passage claims that the Ethanol will worsen the globalwarming by producing more carbon dioxide when it is burned for fuel. On thecontrary, the professor states that it is true Ethanol will release carbondioxide, but it not necessarily causes global warming. Moreover, he explainedEthanol fuel produced by corn, which is need carbon dioxide when they grow. Consequently,the carbon dioxide will be deducted when corn growing. Therefore, there is noextra harm for global warming.
Moreover,the reading passage asserts that the corn originally should be consumed byanimals will be used for produce Ethanol, which will cause a food insufficientfor animals and eventually make them disappear. However, the professor arguesthat the Ethanol was produced by one component of the plants, which will not beeaten by animals. Therefore, it won’t reduce any food for animals.
At last, thereading passage claims that the price of Ethanol has no advantages comparedwith gasoline. On the contrary, the professor states although right now theprice of Ethanol is not competitive to gasoline, and even with the government’stax subsides. When consumers were more reliable on the Ethanol, the producer ofthe Ethanol will willing to updates the technology of it, eventually the pricewill go down. If the currents needs grow 3 times bigger, the cost of producingEthanol will reduce 40%. Needless to say the price will dropdown and therefore Ethanolprice will become competitive.
InConclusion, the professor clearly identified the weaknesses of the readingpassage and convincingly show the Ethanol makes perfect alternative forgasoline. |
