▶ Your Answer :
Without
doubt, friendship plays a significant role in people’s daily lives in many of
the places where they work or play. Some people think that it is impossible to
be completely honest with their friends, while others do not. Both sides may
have their own reasons to support their views. If I were asked to choose one, I
would say that being completely honest with my friends is impossible. There is
a reason as follows.
It
is very difficult for people to be completely honest with their friends because
it could bring a negative effect. Also, telling a white lie could make a better
result in their lives. The reason is that a positive lie, although it is not
true, allows people to bring a positive thoughts and hope. This could cause a
success in life. For example, I did poorly in middle school. I got distracted
easily, procrastinated, and used to be lazy. However, I have changed little by
little after studying with Jane. Jane always told me that I was smart and had a
higher ability to solve the problem. I knew it was not true and she told me a lie
but her words of encouragement motivated me to study harder. I wanted to be a
person who was told by Jane. Naturally, I started to put in my effort to
studying. I had a stronger passion in my school work, a longer attention span,
and a higher ability to delay-gratification. Finally, I could win the mathematics
contest. Without her white lie, I would fall behind.
All
things considered, I strongly believe that telling a lie to friends is
impossible and this could bring a better result for the reasons I have
mentioned above. All in all, the importance thing is not to be completely
honest with friends, but being good friend to my friends if I have told a lie
to my friends.
