Question

Choose between the two essay starters and write an essay entitled: “To lie or not to lie?”Tick the starter you’ve chosen. Then complete the essay with arguments or situations that support your point of view.

I’m dead against telling lies of any kind. If you allow yourself to tell a lie once, it will be that much easier to tell another one. Lies cannot help anybody. The truth will reveal itself anyway, but the previous lies will make the situation even more difficult to resolve.

Answer 1

I think lying is wrong in our society.  Telling a lie is definitely easier than telling the truth. The most people believe lying is wrong , but  sometimes  a lie is only one the right way to handle the situation. Lie has become our habit.
 But as for me, I see only two major reasons why people lie:
1  for benefit
2 a so-called "white lie" or pious fraud
Lying is abhorrent to an honest man. From my point of view lying is adoptable in some extreme cases. But lying comes from lying. So I know there can be no real love without honesty and respect.

That is why I chose to tell the truth.
