Unit 7 Weird, wild and wonderfulListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I like being in the countryside, but I’m always happy to come back to the city. How about you?M1: I actually really love the countryside. I grew up on a farm.W1: I love being in London. I have loved my time in London, but as I’m getting older, I increasingly want to visit the countryside more and more.M2: It’s nice; it’s, it’s quiet – you know, you can forget about the city.W2: I love it. I was brought up in the countryside.M3: I love being in the countryside. I love the quiet; I love the fresh air. It’s great.W3: I love being in the countryside. Um, I’ve come, I come from Hertfordshire, so, although it’s not … where I live isn’t actually directly in the countryside. If you drive for 10 minutes, you’re in it and it’s beautiful.W4: I love the countryside. It’s a nice change to living in London and I enjoy taking weekends out. Um I enjoy camping.M4: I enjoy the countryside be cause I’ve,I’ve lived there for about 37 years. And particularly I enjoyed (enjoy) gardening – growing a lot of vegetables.Part 2F: The thing I like most about being in the countryside is watching animals and birds. How about you? Do you like wildlife?W1: Well, I am, er, an animal lover. Er, I’m a vegetarian as well.W4: I like wildlife and animals. Er, since I was a little girl, I’ve always really liked foxes for some reason. And I know a lot of people don’t, but foxes have always been my favorite animal.M1: I love wildlife. Er, I really, sort of, enjoy things that you don’t see every day –um … enjoy sort of very exotic wildlife that I haven’t seen before.M4: I like, um, watching them on the telly.W2: I think, I think animals are living beings and should be treated as so – should be treated with respect.M3: I like, um, big cats. They’re very graceful;they’re very beautiful. Um, and um, something I’ve, I’ve always just had a fascination with from an early age. Er, I also quite like large snakes. A friend of mine used to keep them.W3: My nephew and niece have a guinea pig, which I love.Part 3F: Are there any animals you’re frightened of?M2: Snakes and scorpions. Um, just ’cause I know that usually one bite could mean that’s the end.W3: I don’t like spiders. It’s not really an animal – but I hate spiders.M1: I am very scared of spiders.

I love them all.M3: There’s nothing that scares me –that I haven’t got any memories of animals scaring me as a child.W4: I’m quite scared of sharks. I don’t really like the sea and so whales and um, animals such as that, I don’t really like. Um, I suppose because it’s the unknown, I just find it quite scary.ListeningScriptsPart 1Welcome to Save the Planet where we talk about the world’s environmental problems. Now, did you know there are more than six billion people on the planet, and by 2050 there might be more than nine billion? People are living longer and healthier lives than ever before, but a big population means big problems for the planet.Part 2Let’s look at three of the most important problems. The first problem is water. Many people in the world can’t get enough water. But in some countries we use too much. A person in Gambia, Africa, for example, uses much less water than someone in the United States. In Gambia, one person uses four and a half liters of water a day. But in the US it’s 600 liters. And to make the problem worse, the deserts are gettingbigger. The Sahara Desert is one of the hottest places in the world, and is already the largest desert. But each year it gets bigger than before, so it gets more difficult to find clean water. Our second problem is the animals. There are more people on the earth than ever before. This means we use more space. And for the animals this means that there is less space than before. One example is the Amazon Rainforest. It has the highest number of plant and animal species in the world, but it’s getting smaller every year. People are destroying the rainforest to make more space for houses, roads and farms. In the last 10 years we have destroyed more than 150,000 square kilometers of forest –that’s an area larger than Greece! So in the future, many plants and animal species will become extinct. And the last problem on our list, but not the least important, is the weather. The world is getting warmer. The ice in Greenland is melting faster than ever before. Also sea levels are rising. This means that soon some of the world’s most important cities, like New York, London, Bangkok, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro might all be under water.ViewingScriptsJL = Joanna Lumley; T = Tura; KS = Kjetil SkoglieJL: The far north. Fairytale mountains. It’s just fabulously beautiful. The land of the magical Northern Lights is somewhere I’ve longed for all my life. As a little girl I lived in the steamy heat of tropical Malaysia. I used to yearn to be cold. I’d never even seen snow. But my storybooks were full of snow queens, and now I’m enteringthat world. This is the journey I’ve always dreamt of making. I feel I’ve come into another world now. No people except you and us. And if we’re very lucky we might see the elusive Northern Lights. I pack up things that are going to be essential on every trip. So in here I’ve got, for instance, oil-based pastels; and I’ve got a lovely little drawing book, but I’ve got that colored pages so that you can draw in different colors; a lovely old guidebook –it’s called The Land of the Vikings. It’s got beautiful old maps. Look at that. But if it wasn’t for one item in my case, I wouldn’t be on this journey at all. This is the book: Ponny the Penguin. This is when I first heard of the Northern Lights. And there was this picture which haunted me of a sort of rippling curtain and a little tiny penguin. This is not your average taxi rank at the station. I’m in the hands of Tura Christiansen and his team of 11 sled dogs. Good morning. I’m Joanna.T: Tura.JL: Tura. How nice to see you, Tura.T: Yes.JL: These are wonderful dogs.T: They like to … to, er …JL: They like to run?T: Yes.JL: The weather near Troms? is uncertain. But local guide, Kjetil Skoglie, promises me we’ll track down the lights even if it takes till morning. I can’t see anything, Kjetil.KS: No, it’s … it’s nothing yet. You just have to be patient.JL: OK, so I just wait here.KS: Yeah, you just wait here.JL: Yeah.KS: Good luck.JL: Thanks, Kjetil. I stand in the pitch-black by the side of the fjord, and wait. Look, much brighter there. Oh, something’s happening there. Oh … Look up here! Look what’s happening here! Look at that! Oh … Oh!Look at this! And it just keeps changing and changing. I can’t believe I’m seeing this. It’s fantastic and it’s coming back again. I have been waiting all my life to see the Northern Lights. I’m as happy as can be. This is the most astonishing thing I have ever, ever seen.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsPart 1A: The best sense of direction? Perhaps it’s the butterfly.B: Er … I’m not sure.A: It’s hard to say. Well, it could be sea turtles.B: Maybe.A: They swim everywhere, don’t they?B: Um, i t might be, but I think it’s the butterfly.It can’t be the taxi driver, can it?A: It’s definitely not the taxi driver.C: OK, here are the answers. Sea turtles travel 3,000 miles a year. And when they lay eggs, they go back to the place where they were born. So they have a great sense of direction. New York taxi drivers drive 37,500 miles a year. They know the fastest way to any address in New York. But sea turtles and taxi drivers do not have the best sense of direction!B: So it must be the butterfly.C: The winner is the monarch butterfly. At the end of every summer, they fly from Canada to Mexico. And no one knows how they do it.Part 2A: Er, so who’s the best athlete? That’s a good question.B: I’m not sure.A: It could be triathletes.B: Or rats?C: Rats are the winners. A rat is the superman of animals. Rats can kill animals that are much bigger than they are, and they can eat electric wires. They can swim a mile and survive in water for 3 days. They can also jump 3 feet and fall 45 feet and survive.A: That’s amazing.Part 3B: Who sleeps the most? Let me think. Um, it can’t be the human baby, can it? And it’s not the black bear.A: It must be the sloth. They spend most of their lives asleep.B: So what’s the answer?C: Well, the black bear sleeps for about 7 months a year. The females are even half asleep when they have their babies.B: Wow.C: Human babies usually sleep about 18 hours a day, but only in their first few months. So sloths are the winner. They sleep 15 to 18 hours a day for their whole life.Group discussionScriptsA: OK, the most beautiful place I’ve been to … Well, a few years ago I went to Fish River Canyon.B: Where?A: Fish River Canyon. It’s the second biggest canyon in the world.B: After the Grand Canyon?A: After the Grand Canyon.B: Where is it?A: It’s in Namibia, in Africa.B: Wow. And what did you think of it?A: Ah, it was amazing! The first thing you notice is how big it is, of course.B: Of course.A: It just goes on and on as far as your eye can see. But the best thing about it was thesilence.B: Right.A: It was so amazingly quiet. We went there in August and there weren’t many tourists and it was just so quiet.B: Would you like to go back?A: I would love to go back. One day!B: One day.Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: We offer some very exciting tours plus the best luxury hotels. The most popular places are Thailand and India. Have you got any idea of where you’d like to go?M: Well, we were thinking of flying to a small island where we can enjoy some special local food.Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?Conversation 2M: Have you ever tried diving in the sea? No words can describe the beauty of the sea. You lose track of time down there!W: No, I’m kind of frightened. I mean I hear all these stories about getting sick from going up too fast to the surface and dangerous fish.Q: What makes the woman scared of diving?Conversation 3W: Many people are concerned about the rising costs of fuel.M: I think they are a little short-sighted; they should look on the bright side. With higher costs, people will be forced to use less energy. We can thus save more energy, which is good for the environment.Q: What does the man think of the rise of fuel costs?Conversation 4M: I’ve never been to the mountains before. I’m not much of an adventurer, you know.W: Well, join us. It’s great spending some time with friends and just being close to nature. And when you come back, you’ll be a new person, relaxed and ready to study again.Q: According to the woman, what can the man benefit from going to the mountains? Conversation 5M: Look! The sun is shining. We haven’t seen the sun for ages. It’s been raining for a week! It’s much too beautiful a day to waste indoors reading, cooking or cleaning. W: You are right. Let’s make the most of it.Q: What are the man and woman probably going to do?Long conversationScriptsW: I just saw a great movie about the true story of Christopher McCandless’ trip to the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. It was so inspiring! His love of nature was so beautiful.M: Well, I read about his story. He was foolish and just threw his life away!W: Why would you say that? It’s a shame that he died, but at least he lived doing what he loved. Can you imagine living in Alaska alone, eating only the plants you can gather and the animals you can hunt?M: No, that’s just it! He died in the wilderness because he thought nature was magical and kind. He needed to realize that nature is powerful and full of risks! Christopher was completely unprepared for the many dangers of the Alaskan wilderness.W: Like what? He found shelter and he had a gun to hunt!M: He did not use his map of the area – there was a boat where he could get help only a quarter of a mile away! H e didn’t have any emergency food supplies! Most of all, he had no emergency communication equipment. Any one of those three things would have saved his life!W: Yes, he should have been more prepared, but I still admire what he was trying to do.M: It’s no t romantic! Five famous outdoor specialists were interviewed. They all said he should have lived. He died because he was unprepared!W: Still, I admire his spirit for trying!Q1: What are the man and woman talking about?Q2: What can we learn about Christopher?Q3: What does the woman think about Christopher taking the trip to Alaska?Q4: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as something that would have saved Christopher’s life?Passage 1ScriptsWithin five seconds of taking off, an avalanche can move at 80 miles an hour, so people rarely have time to run out of the way. But these days, avalanches don’t often strike skiers at official skiing zones because the ski patrol makes sure the skiing areas are safe.An avalanche occurs when one entire area or layer of snow slides off another layer below it. When a layer starts to slide, anything on top is carried along, and the avalanche picks up whatever lies in its path as it moves down a slope, including rocks, trees and people. When a person starts to travel across an area of unstable snow, their weight can start a slide.As long as skiers stay in the official ski areas, they don’t have to worry. “We control the hazard, so it is unlikely you’ll get caught,” explains Mike, a snow safety expert. “We do that by p ressing the snow together to make it more solid, and we use explosives to make an avalanche move or to test an area to see if it is unstable.” This work can be dangerous, so ski patrol members look out for each other and keep the public at a safe distance.Mike and his colleagues also dig holes in the snow to study the layers. After they go back, they enter measurements into a computer; a special software creates a chart showing how the different layers are holding up. If an area looks risky, the ski patrol closes it.Q1: What speed can an avalanche reach within five seconds of taking off?Q2: According to the passage, under what circumstances may an avalanche occur?Q3: What are skiers advised to do to avoid being caught in an avalanche?Q4: Why does the ski patrol use explosives?Passage 2Scripts and answersAnna was awarded a special day out for herself and her family after taking part in a competition run by a magazine in April, beating over 2,000 people who 1) participated in the event.Anna’s wild day out will include a special tour of the city’s nature park, with exclusive 2) access to areas of the site that are not usually available to the public. During her visit, Anna is likely to see some natural wonders including rare birds feeding their young and a 3) tremendous number of newly hatched chicks. Anna may also see a great flamingo 4) currently nesting at the nature park after it escaped from the zoo last year.The most 5) incredible thing is that Mike Dilger, a well-known wildlife reporter for BBC, will 6) accompany the family throughout the day. Mike is an experiencedbiologist, so he is ready to share his experiences and knowledge of the natural world every step of the way.Henry, manager of the nature park, says, “Visiting a nature park is a 7) remarkable way to learn more about types of wildlife that you just can’t see in your daily life. It’s an 8) amazing time of year for a visit –the hatching season is well underway, so there are lots of chicks hatching across the park, and as parents take regular trips to find food for their young, there is a very good chance of 9) catching a glimpse of some of our very rare birds. Anna will have a great day; we are really 10) looking forward to her visit.”。

we should not tell lies
I think we should not tell lies.First, lies are false, untrue, deceiving words. If a person often tell lies and trick others, he will lose people trust. Even you tell protective lies, people would be also very angry, so don't tell lies.Second, don't lie is human nature, is an inherent virtue. There are many stories that said everyone should not tell lies, such as the <The Boy Who Cried Wolf>. We learn that we should not tell lies when we were a kid from our parent and our teacher. In this world, we have to communicate with others to get we want and also give others what they need, it all depends on the honesty, no one will like to have relationship with a liar, and this is the rule of living. So everyone should be honest with each other.Third, telling lies would affect you health. To be a believable liar, they have to take a lot of effort to tell a lie or keep lying in order to back up the lies that they have told.They have to live into the lie, which often means believing in the lie themselves. When questioned about the situation that led to the lie, they have to stick with it even if someone challenges their lie with proof that they’re lying. Most liars would worry that his or her lies will be exposed. It's that kind of anxiety that brings on ulcers, headaches, sleepless nights and paranoia. So to stay healthy, stay honest.What’s more, i f we get into the habit of telling lies, then when we want to tell the truth it will be disbelieved. And when truth is exposed, people would be embarrassed, loosing face, status. They might not get what they want or be punished. At times telling the truth may be difficult. But, a honest person will inevitably become treasured over time.In a word, lies would be out sooner or later, anybody who tell lies would lose others’ trust, so we should not tell lies.。
The way we lies 节选自译
Paragraph 3-6We lie. We all do. We exaggerate, we minimize, we avoid confrontation, we spare people's feelings, we conveniently forget, we keep secrets, we justify lying to the big-guy institutions. Like most people, I indulge in small falsehoods and still think of myself as an honest person. Sure I lie, but it doesn't hurt anything. Or does it?我们撒谎。
我们都这样。
我们夸大其辞，我们故意缩小，我们避免正面冲突，我们生怕伤害他人感情，我们习惯性的忘记，我们保守秘密，我们为向组织撒谎辩护。
和多数人一样，我自己时常在小事上撒谎但是仍然认为自己是一个诚实的人。
当然，我撒谎，但无伤大雅，不是吗？I once tried going a whole week without telling a lie ,and it was paralyzing .I discovered that telling the truth all the time is nearly impossible. It means liv ing with some serious consequences. The bank charges me $60 in overdraft fees, my partner keels over when I tell him about my travails, my client fires me for telling her I didn’t feel like being on time, and my friend takes it personally when I say I’m not hungry. There must be some merit to ly ing.我曾经尝试过了整整一个星期没有说谎，感觉挺别扭的。

日常生活中要做到诚信的英语作文
日常生活中要做到诚信的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Importance of Honesty in Daily LifeHi everyone! My name is Lily, and today I want to talk to you about something very important – honesty. Honesty means telling the truth and being sincere. It is essential to practice honesty in our daily lives. Let's explore why!Firstly, being honest builds trust with others. When we always tell the truth, people know they can rely on us. For example, imagine your friend asks you to take care of their pet while they are away. It's crucial to be honest and follow through on your promise. If you don't, your friend may not trust you anymore. But if you are honest and responsible, your friend will trust you and may even ask for your help again in the future.Secondly, honesty helps us make good choices. When we are honest with ourselves, we can recognize right from wrong. For instance, let's say you are playing a game, and you accidentally see the answer to a question. Being honest means not using that information to cheat. Instead, you would chooseto play fairly and not take advantage of others. Being honest allows us to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.Moreover, honesty strengthens our relationships. When we are truthful with our family and friends, we show them that we respect and care for them. For example, if you accidentally break your sibling's favorite toy, it's better to be honest about it. Yes, they might be upset, but they will appreciate your honesty and know that you value their trust. Honesty helps us build strong and lasting relationships with the people we love.Additionally, being honest with ourselves is essential for personal growth. It means admitting our mistakes and learning from them. Let's say you didn't do well on a test because you didn't study enough. Instead of making excuses or blaming others, be honest with yourself. Acknowledge that you didn't put in enough effort and make a plan to study harder next time. Honesty allows us to grow and become better versions of ourselves.Lastly, honesty sets a good example for others. When we practice honesty, it influences those around us to do the same. People admire and respect those who are honest and trustworthy. By being honest, we can inspire others to follow our lead and create a community of integrity.In conclusion, honesty is crucial in our daily lives. It builds trust, helps us make good choices, strengthens relationships, promotes personal growth, and sets a positive example for others. Let's remember to always be honest, even when it's difficult. By doing so, we can create a world where trust and integrity prevail.篇2Being Honest in Daily LifeHello, everyone! Today, I want to talk about something very important—being honest in our daily lives. Being honest means telling the truth, keeping our promises, and being trustworthy. It's essential for us to be honest because it helps us build strong relationships, gain the trust of others, and become responsible individuals.Firstly, being honest means telling the truth. We should never lie, cheat, or deceive others. Imagine if your friend asks you if you have finished your homework, but you haven't. It may be tempting to lie and say that you've completed it. However, lying will only lead to trouble later on. It's better to be honest and admit that you haven't finished yet. By telling the truth, you showthat you are trustworthy and people will respect you for your honesty.Secondly, being honest means keeping our promises. When we make a promise, we should do everything we can to fulfill it. For example, if you promised your friend to lend them your favorite book, make sure to keep your word and lend it to them. This shows that you are reliable and dependable. When we keep our promises, others will trust us and be more willing to rely on us in the future.Moreover, being honest means being trustworthy. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, whether it's with our family, friends, or teachers. When we are honest, people believe in us and feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. Trust allows us to have deeper connections with others and helps us build strong friendships. So, let's always be honest and trustworthy to make our relationships stronger and more meaningful.Being honest also makes us responsible individuals. When we are honest, we take ownership of our actions and their consequences. If we make a mistake, we should admit it and take responsibility for it. For example, if you accidentally break a friend's toy, it's important to be honest and apologize. By doingso, you show that you understand the importance of your actions and are willing to make amends. Taking responsibility for our actions helps us grow into responsible and mature individuals.In conclusion, being honest is crucial in our daily lives. It means telling the truth, keeping our promises, and being trustworthy. By being honest, we build strong relationships, gain the trust of others, and become responsible individuals. So, let's always remember the importance of being honest and strive to be truthful, reliable, and trustworthy in everything we do.篇3Being Honest in Daily LifeHonesty is one of the most important qualities a person can have. It means being truthful, trustworthy, and doing the right thing even when it's hard. In my daily life, I try my best to always be honest.At home, I am honest with my parents and siblings. If I accidentally break something, I own up to it instead of trying to hide it or blame someone else. One time, I accidentally kicked a soccer ball through my mom's kitchen window. I felt really bad, but I told her the truth right away instead of lying about whathappened. She wasn't happy about the broken window, but she said she was proud of me for being honest.My parents always tell me that honesty is the best policy. They say if I lie, I'll just get caught in more lies trying to cover up the first one. It's much easier to just tell the truth from the start. Lies make you feel guilty and ruin trust between people. But when you're honest, you can feel good about yourself and others can trust you.At school, I also make an effort to be honest. If I forget to do my homework, I don't make up an excuse - I just admit I forgot and didn't get it done. My teacher appreciates honesty and gives me a chance to turn it in late. But if I lied and said my dog ate it, then I'd be in bigger trouble for the lie on top of not doing my work.During tests, I never cheat by looking at someone else's paper or bringing cheat notes. That would be cheating myself out of really learning the material. Plus, if I got caught, I could get in huge trouble for being dishonest. My friends and I have a rule - we study hard so we don't have to cheat. Cheating is wrong and goes against being an honest person.Playing games and sports is another time when I practice honesty. If I accidentally move my soccer ball closer to the goalwhen no one's looking, I move it back and tell the other kids what happened. Sure, I could have tried to get away with it, but that wouldn't be fair or honest. In basketball, if the referee doesn't see me step out of bounds, I call it on myself. Following the rules and being a good sport is part of being honest.Sometimes being honest means admitting when I've made a mistake, even if it's hard. Like the time I got angry at my friend and said some mean things I didn't really mean. The honest thing to do was to apologize and take responsibility for my words instead of making excuses. That's not always easy, but it's the right thing to do.Overall, I try to be as honest as I can every single day. I don't lie, cheat, or try to be dishonest in any way. Sometimes the truth hurts or gets me in trouble, but I'd rather deal with that than deal with the consequences of dishonesty. Honesty makes me feel good about myself and helps others be able to trust me. It makes me a better student, friend, daughter, and person.篇4The Importance of Honesty in Daily LifeHi everyone! My name is Emily, and today I want to talk about something very important in our daily lives – honesty!Honesty means telling the truth and being fair. It is an important value that we should all try to follow.Being honest is important because it helps to build trust with others. When we tell the truth, people know that they can rely on us. Imagine if your friend borrowed your favorite toy and accidentally broke it. If they are honest and tell you what happened, you might feel sad, but you would appreciate their honesty. But if they try to hide the truth, it will hurt your feelings even more. So, it's always better to be honest and face the consequences.Honesty is not just about telling the truth, but also about being fair. It means playing by the rules and not cheating or stealing. In school, for example, it is important to do our own work and not copy from others. When we cheat, we may get a good grade in the short term, but we are not really learning and it can hurt our classmates who work hard. In the long run, it will only lead to trouble and disappointment.Being honest also means keeping promises. When we make a promise, we should do our best to keep it. If we promise to help our parents with chores, we should follow through and not make excuses. If we promise to meet our friends at a certain time,we should be there on time. Keeping our promises shows that we are reliable and trustworthy.Sometimes being honest can be difficult, especially when we make mistakes. But it is important to admit our mistakes and take responsibility for our actions. If we break something by accident, we should apologize and try to fix it. If we hurt someone's feelings, we should say sorry and try to make it right. When we are honest about our mistakes, it shows that we are mature and willing to learn from them.In conclusion, honesty is a very important value in our daily lives. It helps to build trust, promotes fairness, and shows that we are reliable and responsible.

Should We Lie
When little children are on your back about the questions whether there exist Santa Claus and why rain drops fall from the sky, what would you tell them? Just tell them the truths to kill their imagination? When many people are trapped in the rubble in a big earthquake, some of them encourage others by saying that people out there must come to our rescue soon, regardless of the fact that there won’t be a person 10 minutes, one hour, even a day later. Should we tell the truth in this case?
So in my opinion, we should tell lies but in the meanwhile we ought to regard lies as a last resort and master the art of lies. Sometimes lies play a role of blender in the relationship among people. If every one tells the truth, what would the world be? More realistic or more harmonious? It’s an open question. However, in the present a person who just relies on truths can’t handle the relation among different kinds of people well.
People who are against lies point out that lies will destroy one’s credit. But a research conducted by English company OnePoll shows that it’s acceptable for most people to accept some little lies. And a doctor in Manchester Metropolitan University once said: “Most people lie, but they know when to stop it.” Everything has two sides. So do lies. Two many lies, of course, will destroy people’s credit, but some white lies and humorous lies will make the world more beautiful. Just like wines, drinking too much wine may lead to death, but they also have many
advantages. So what we can do is evaluate them from an all-round and objective perspective and do something to make them serve people better.
It’s human instinct to tell lies. Just like animals, many animals have protective coloration or guise, and they can even play dead. Nearly all people tell lies. Then do you think we can avoid telling lies? It’s a fact that we cannot stop all lies now, so why not look for some other ways to improve drawbacks of human beings instead of sticking to a blind alley? An absolute thing itself is a lie. Besides lies are necessary in some ways.
A research from England shows that about one fourth lies are beneficial to human beings. The Last Leaf tells us a story about how a white lie told by a painter inspired a seriously ill person to survive. It shows that sometimes a white lie is more acceptable than a direct truth, and they may even create miracles. And some lies in wars or politics get another name----strategies. Have you ever applaud for thirty-six strategies? Have you ever admired Caochao’s cleverness in the story, Looking at Plums to Quench Thirst?
So in a word, lies themselves are just a means. It depends on people how to use them. We cannot completely eliminate all lies but we can try our best to take advantage of them to make this world more warm.。
