23 AD Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? Sometimes it is better not to tell the truth .Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

I agree that sometimes it is better not to tell the truth. In somecases the truth is going to hurt someone and no good will begained by it. If so, then I don't think that person should be toldthe truth. There are times when a person needs to know thetruth in order to make an important decision, There are also times when telling the truth is the onlyway to help someone who's being self-destructive. However, often telling the truth only benefitsthe teller, not the person being told.

If someone has said something nasty about a person, those words don't need to be repeated. However, what if a person has told a shameful secret to a friend, and that friend has told the secretto others? Then that person needs to know that she can't trust her friend, Otherwise ,she mighttell that friend other secrets.

What if someone is doing something self-destructive, like partying all night in college instead ofstudying? Then he needs to be told that this behavior is upsetting his friend who are worried abouthim. However, if he skips class and teacher asks his friend why he isn't there, it’s not necessary forthe friend to tell the truth. He doesn't have to be, but he also doesn't have to give informationabout his friend's behavior.

Sometimes people needs to know the truth before they can make an important decision. Supposeyou're selling your house and you know there's water in the basement. Then you should tell thetruth about that to anyone interesting in buying your house. If you don’t, you could be in troublelegally as well as ethically! However, you don't need to tell the truth about the cranky neighborwho lives next door. The neighbor may not be as cranky with someone else as he was with you. Sometimes It's better not to tell.

24 AD In some countries, teenager have jobs while they are still srudents. Do you thinkthis is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.

I don't think it is a good ideas for teenagers to have jobs while they are still students. It caninterfere with their studies, It can disrupt their home life, and it takes away part of their childhoodthat their can never replace.

Education today is very complex and difficult .In order to learn and get good grades, a studentmust work very hard and concentrate, This means attending classes from early in the morninguntil late afternoon, then doing research for projects, then going home and doing homework. It’s abusy schedule for everyone. For someone trying to hold down a job, it’s even harder. Studentsneed all their energy for their studies. If they're working after class at night, they’re going to betired the next day. They won't be able to concentrate. This will have a negative impact on theirlearning, and eventually on their grades.

Having a job can also disrupt a teenager's home life. Families spend less and less

time together. If a teenager has a job to go to after school, he won't be home for dinner.

He won't be home after dinner either, and may not get home until late at night, This means hedoesn't have a lot of time to spend with his family .If he doesn't have a car, it can mean changes inhis parents' schedule ,too. They have to drive him to work and pick him up.

The main drawback of a teenager having a job while he's still a student is that he's missing out onthe fun of being young. He has a whole lifetime in which he'll have to earn a living. This is the lastfree time he'll have, It’s the last chance he'll have to hang out with friends and just enjoy himself. Soon enough he'll have to worry about paying the rent and buying food.

Jobs bring money, but money isn't everything. A teenager with a job gives us too much. No oneshould spend all his time at working, and especially not a teenager.
