Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:
Being Honest Is Not Always Better than Telling Lies
选项
答案
Being Honest Is Not Always Better than Telling Lies We are all taught to be honest since childhood. We were made aware that lying is morally wrong and that good people always tell the truth. Of course, as a general rule, we should be honest and sincere to others in order to gain the trust of them and to make the world a better place. However, it is practically unwise to be honest all the time. In the first place, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of playacting may be the best choice for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. But, it is neither the time to complain about one’s health or to mention faults one finds in other people nor the time to tell the whole truth about one’s opinions and impressions. In the second place, in some situations, telling lies for good intention is an acceptable practice. For instance, doctors may console their patients who are destined to die in one month that they will pull through very soon. Or we may make up some excuses to decline friends’ invitation which we don’t like to participate. To sum up, it is not always reasonable to tell the truth. We should be flexible in choosing whether to be honest or to tell lies.
解析
本题属于给定观点型题目。在审题的时候要注意“not always”,表示半否定,因此写作时应首先肯定为人诚实是正确的,同时指出“诚实并不是在任何时候都是明智的”。众所周知,诚实是为人之本,然而在现实生活中却需要一些不诚实,这是人的一些自相矛盾的地方。写作重点是如何用有力的论据说明主题。
论据1:在人际交往中,有时候我们需要善意的谎言,这样才能使交际顺利、和睦。
论据2:在现实生活中,有时也需要善意的谎言,比如医生对病危的人说还有希望康复,编造理由拒绝别人的邀请等。
论据3:有时候为了保护自己,在不伤害他人的情况下,我们也需要善意的谎言。
范文主要采用了论据1和论据2。
