Brainstorm the other kind of lies, “good” lies. How many different kinds of good lies can you think of? Brainstorm at least two different kinds of good lies. Give a name to each kind and develop a brief explanation of it. Then think of examples for each kind.
Good lies – Type 1
Topic sentence: Beautiful lie
Explanation: Honesty is the best policy.
Example A: Someone who asks you whether her or his appearance is great or not.
Telling a lie will break someone's heart. Honesty depends on the situation.
Example B: Sometimes telling a lie is a way to conceal something from other people.
If you are sick and you don't want to anyone to worry about you, you will tell
a good lie.
Good lies – Type 2
Topic sentence: The meaning of lie
Explanation: We don't like to be cheated but sometimes tell a lie is better
than truth.
Example A: A little boy's father has jailed for many years. However, the boy doesn't
know the truth about his father. His mother just tells him that father
has to work abroad for years.
Example B: Someone prepared meal for you. Although the meal tasted not so good,
you still said that was delicious. You don't want to harm someone.
I tried to find a connection between 'beautiful lie' and its explanation that 'honesty is the best policy, but I failed. I can understand what you meant by beautiful lies through your examples; yet, the explanation needs improvement.
回覆刪除'The meaning of lie' doesn't really make sense here. Could you make it clearer for your readers, please?
