疯狂英语易背作文 9.Is Honesty Going out of Style

Most Chinese people are quite familiar with the story of the three wolves cries. We taught to be honest when we were very young however as we grow up we find that it is difficult to be honest all the time. Sometimes we are forced to tell lies and other times we find people who are dishonest can enjoy great pleasures, while honest people have to suffer failures and still there are times when we have to tell lies in order not to hurt others. Consequently¹ people wonder whether honesty² is going out of style. As far as I'm concerned honesty should always be an important feature valued by Chinese people we should try our best to avoid telling lies even white lies only in this way it's a fair society awaiting³ us.
