It seems that everybody tells lies—well,not big lies,but what we call “while lies”. Telling “while lies” isn’t really that bad. Most of the time,people do it because they want to protect a friendship. A survey shows that each person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. Here are some reasons why people tell “white lies”.
◆ Lying to hide something: People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example,Paul doesn’t tell his parents that he’s going to play basketball because he doesn,t think they will agree. He tells a lie that he is going to the library to study.
◆ Lying to make someone feel good:Often we don't tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example,your friend cooks dinner for you,but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No!You probably say ,“Mmm,this is delicious!”
◆ Giving false (錯誤的) excuses: Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something. For example,someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring,so you say you’re busy.
◆ Lying to hide bad news:Sometimes we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example,you have just had a very bad day at work,but you don^ feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about your day,you just say everything was fine.
