Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in any relationship between people.
托福满分作文-范文赏析：
There are certain considerations or factors that everyone takes into account in a relationship. People expect honesty, understanding and loyalty. Every human being possesses, to some extent, some of these virtues. Honesty sometimes is not the proper type of behavior in some specific situations which require some special consideration. In certain life cases, we would rather lie than tell the truth not because we are liars. On the contrary, sometimes we deliberately lie but provoked by noble motives.
In a relationship between a mother and a child, for instance, not telling the truth is a substantial part of bringing up. There are general rules that every mother keeps in order to spare the disappointment of her child or prevent him or her from some fears. The most beautiful lie about the existence of Santa clause brings joy and happiness for the child years on end. Why not lie to them?!
In a relationship between male and female humans, there sometimes comes a moment when one of the partners would not like to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth because the truth can sometimes hurt. It may hurt deeply and cause some devastating psychological depression. If a woman would not like to tell a man that his appearance is appalling or that his table manners are horrible, she would most probably use a lie, which I call a noble lie, in order not to hurt the man’s feelings. She does not want to make him feel a lower level of a person.
Sometimes relatives and friends decide not to share information about the coming lethal end of a person with altruistic intentions. Thus the dying person has the chance to believe in his bright future and the optimism that he is suggested may really give him enough strength as to really overcome his health problem. Positive energy and thinking are always preferable in any crucial situations.
Although everybody would like to be honest, loyal people sometimes need to seriously re-interpret their meaning, in order to realize that not telling the truth is not a genuine lie. We should also believe that telling a lie can save somebody’s life or at least make it much happier and meaningful.
托福作文满分要素剖析:
一、 语言表达
本文长短句结合，错落有致，很有节奏感。一些插入语的使用避免了句式结构过于复杂的情况，值得我们学习借鉴。而且本文的用词非常简单。这也说明了在托福考试中没有必要单纯追求高级的词汇，只要用词准确，能够表达观点，就能够得到满意的分数。
1. There are certain considerations or factors that everyone takes into account in a relationship. 本句的用词值得学习。Consideration表示想法factor表示因素，可以并列使用。Take into account是Consider的同义词，表示考虑，也可以在写作时进行替代。
2. Positive energy and thinking are always preferable in any crucial situations.本句使用了抽象名词做主语，替代了我们经常使用的人做主语的方式。更体现出了客观严谨的学术风格。
3. Although everybody would like to be honest, loyal people sometimes need to seriously re-interpret their meaning, in order to realize that not telling the truth is not a genuine lie. 本句首先进行了让步，肯定了说真话的好处。之后进行转折。这是学术文章中经常使用的一种造句方式。我们在写作时也要学会让步的写法。常用的有while, although, even though, given that, considering等。
二、 逻辑结构
本文逻辑清晰。采用了总分总的结构。首段提出总体观点，没有必要说实话，我们有时因为高尚的动机会说谎。之后三段通过三个具体例子，即妈妈对儿子、恋爱中的女孩对男孩和对病中的亲友说谎是处于高尚的目的加以证明。最后进行总结重申，人们有时候需要说谎。
网温馨提醒：考生们拿到托福作文试题，审题后，先决定总体思路，然后列出两三个具体的分论点，每个论点找出一些例子来说明。这里要注意例子的选择，尽可能生活化、生动化、形象化，不要太死板，
