Speaking Reflection HW
What do you think of white lies? Can you think of a situation in which you told one?
On July 16, I met my friend, Amanda at Student Commons Building.
In my country, people often tell a lie which is called “white lie.” We believed that it is kind of propriety. So I wanted to know what American people think about “white lie.” My friend, Amanda said that telling white lies is not bad, but she does not do often. She told me her own experience. One day, she and her friends went to the restaurant for dinner after class, and she had eaten a lot of food. And then, she came back home. However, when she arrived at home, her mother prepared her favorite food for her. Moreover, her mother didn’t eat that food because she was waiting for her. So Amanda said to her mother that she was very hungry because she didn’t want to let her mother down. Even though she was very full, and she had an attack of indigestion next day, she was very happy at the moment because when she was eating food, her mother looked so happy. Her story moved me deeply.
