D. Read the passage and answer the questions.
Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? When and why? It seems that everybody tells lies.
Well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. The only really questions are about when we lie and
who we tell lies to. A recent study found that in conversation people frequently stretch the truth. Here
are some ways they do it.
People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesn’t tell his
parents that he is dating with a girl because he doesn’t thing they will like her. In stead, he says he is
going out with the guys
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 that you are busy and can’t come.
Often we stretch 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 “Hmm this is delicious!”
Other times we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had bad day at work,
but you don’t want to talk about it. So, if someone asks about your day, you just say everything was fine.
Telling “white lies” isn’t really bad. Most of the time people do it because they want to protect a
friendship.
