This morning, in the second Chinese class, our class had a debate on the third unit of oral communication, "Tell an honest and white lie".

The host Gao's opening remarks: "Honesty and trustworthiness are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Honesty and not lying is the minimum criterion for being a man, just as the Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation, but sometimes it is necessary to hide the truth in life for various reasons. This is the so-called "white lie". We will debate about' lies about honesty and goodwill' and hope that students can speak freely and express their views and opinions. "

As soon as the host's voice fell, Wang, who holds positive and negative views, said the following: "Honesty and trustworthiness are the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation. It is also the most basic criterion for being a man. There are many people with lofty ideals at all times and in all countries. A lie is a lie. No matter what your starting point is, a lie is essentially a sign of dishonesty. As waiting students, we shouldn't lie. Therefore, we primary school students should be honest and not lie. "

Zhang Xuchen, who disagreed, immediately retorted: "The' lie' we are talking about today has an attribute-after adding this qualifier in good faith, the nature of the lie has changed fundamentally. A white lie is people's good wishes for things, a dialogue between people's kind hearts, the warmth of people comforting each other, and the tenderness revealed in people's hearts ... No one will investigate its credibility, even if people who hear white lies know that it is a lie, they will try to believe it, and they will not feel the hypocrisy of the liar, and sometimes they will be grateful from the heart. "

Zhu stood up and retorted, "the reason why lies are deceptive is not because you added the word' goodwill', but because your words only deceive people." Let the people live in lies, then what reason can we say? When can a lie become truth? "

Opponent Zhang Xuchen went on to say: "Many elderly people are not feeling well and refuse to let their children know at the first time, for fear of affecting their normal work and study! Many children say that falling doesn't hurt, just to let their parents say they are brave! There are many women who silently contribute behind the successful personnel, tired but not complaining, so that their husbands can do their work better with peace of mind and care less about their families ... In our country with a long history of civilization, there are countless such examples. Facts speak plainer than words. To sum up, they are all lying, but their lies are well-intentioned and do not hinder honesty. ...

For example, "The harmony of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period was deeply taught by Confucius, who was not only knowledgeable, but also very honest and never cheated others, even his own children. Kill pigs yourself to educate children. Although Ceng Zi was laughed at by some people, he educated honest and trustworthy children. Therefore, the story of Ceng Zi killing pigs has been passed down to this day, and his character has always been admired by future generations. "

Opponent Zhang Yifan did the same thing without weakness: relatives and friends of a terminally ill patient always told his illness lightly with white lies, encouraging him to cooperate with the doctor for treatment. I'm sure none of you here will accuse them of dishonesty, will you? ! On the contrary, it is the malicious truth. A prisoner was lured by the enemy to tell about his troop deployment. Does anyone think he is honest? Sincerity to the enemy is betrayal to the country!

……

Students, no one agrees with each other's views. They had a heated debate on "honesty and trustworthiness" and "white lies"

Finally, Wang of Zheng Fang said: "Honesty and trustworthiness are the minimum criteria for our life, which is of great significance to our growth and success. Allusions such as "A word spoken by a gentleman is a lost cause" tell us the importance of honesty. Heine, the great German poet, put it well: "Life cannot blossom brilliantly from lies." We are in the prime of life, and life is in bud. Let us cherish our pure mind, let the seeds of self-consciousness, self-discipline, self-esteem, self-improvement and honesty sprout in our hearts, and we will certainly grow into honest and civilized citizens of the Republic. "

Zhang Yifan stated the opposite view: "A white lie is beautiful. When we tell some little lies for the happiness and hope of others, lies become understanding, respect and tolerance, which has magical power. White lies are based on good motives, with the purpose and starting point of safeguarding the interests of others; White lies are a way of life and a reflection of caring for others. Although a white lie is a kind of lie, if you can't lie, it will definitely hinder honesty. A world without lies is like a dust-free earth. We agree that white lies will not hinder honesty, but this does not mean that we advocate honesty. The key is the degree. White lies not only do not hinder honesty, but also greatly enhance the friendship and feelings between people, which plays an indelible role in social stability. I suggest that there is not much conflict between using white lies and honesty. "

After the students' debate, I made a summary: "Honesty and trustworthiness are the foundation of being a man. The ancients once told us that' people can't stand without faith' and' honesty is heaven'; Sincere people have their own ways, and people who keep faith with their friends tell us to pay attention to honesty. If you keep integrity, you will keep pure land. If you keep your integrity, you will keep your success. If you keep honesty, the Chinese nation will be eternal. Lies are beautiful. They are like condiments in our lives. It is "white lies" that make our life colorful, poetic and human. As Zhang Yifan said: White lies not only do not hinder honesty, but also greatly enhance the friendship and feelings between people, which plays an indelible role in social stability. I hope that everyone can correctly understand and use white lies according to the actual situation under the premise of honesty and trustworthiness, and add color to our lives. "
