Think and share
What does the “web” in the poem represent
It represents a complicated situation, in which once we tell a lie, we have to continue to tell more other lies in order to cover the previous ones.
What would you do in the situations described in the passage
Do Not Lie. It is never morally right to tell a lie. Never. In such a situation, I believe there must be an alternative, but not tell a falsehood.
Think and share
What do you think is the difference between a lie and a white lie
A lie is told to cover the truth in order to benefit yourself, which can be harmful to others. A white lie is told to avoid hurting others, without bad intention.
How would you feel if you were told a white lie Share your experience with the class if this has happened to you.
It depends. Sometimes, I would feel hurt; sometimes, maybe it’s just a lie.
It’s necessary to be mindful of others’ feelings, but that’s not the green light to engage in outright lies just to appear kind or save face. Yes, many times white lies provide just the right dose of loving intent, but there are instances where they can weaken relationships or provide a false sense of hope or confidence.
Activity 4
Work in groups. Give a talk on the importance of honesty following the steps below.
Explain what honesty is.
Give reasons for the importance of being honest.
Support your reasons with examples.
End with your conclusion.
Sample
What is honesty Many children think honesty means you “don’t tell a lie”-- and that is definitely part of being honest. But honesty means more than not lying. A more complete definition of honesty shows that an honest person doesn’t do things that are morally wrong. If something you do is breaking the law or if you have to hide what you are doing because you’ll get in trouble, you are probably not being honest. So honesty is about speaking and acting truthfully.
A big part of honesty is what you say and how you act toward others. But another part of the definition of honesty is whether you treat yourself the same way. Being honest with yourself means you really know why you are acting in a certain way or whether what you tell yourself is true. So honesty is not only about speaking and acting truthfully but also whether you treat yourself the same way. Learning to be honest and eliminating the need for lies can help to clean up your conscience and your relationships.

如何写观点论述类议论文
一、题型解读
议论文,又叫说理文,是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体。作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非等方法,来确定其观点的正确性或错误性,支持或否定某种主张。议论文应该观点明确、论据充分、语言简洁、论证合理、有严密的逻辑性。

Introduction
The Porcupine Dilemma is written by German philosopher Schopenhauer. The fable describes a group of porcupines gathering together to keep warm. If they get too close, their quills hurt each other, while if they move apart they feel cold. After trying several times, they find the ideal distance. The fable teaches us that there should be boundaries in interpersonal relationships.
Though it is an old fable it casts a light onus even today. We all value friendship, but have you considered that we need boundaries with our friends
Sample
Main body
One example from real life is like this. I once thought friends should get close to each other the closer the better. Ma Jing is the first friend made at senior high. At first, I thought since we were friends, she had to share the same ideas as mine. So I always followed her, wanted to know her opinion on everything and tried to persuade her when she had a different idea. Soon, we started quarrelling.“ You're so annoying!” she shouted angrily after a quarrel.
How could I become annoying I felt hurt and discussed it with another friend. Then I realised it was my problem. I had been getting too close to her and leaving her no room for herself. Since then I have stopped following her so much and I found our friendship repaired. Now I have realised that friends need to have boundaries and respect each other no matter how close we are.
Sample
Conclusion
In conclusion, in order to make our friendship last long, we have to find the proper distance between us and our friends, close enough to understand each other, far enough to respect each other.
