(本篇来自2007年5月SAT写作真题)

Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

It is often the case that revealing the complete truth may bring trouble—discomfort,embarrassment, sadness, or even harm—to oneself or to another person. In these circumstances, it is better not to express our real thoughts and feelings. Whether or not we should tell the truth, therefore, depends on the circumstances.

Assignment: Do circumstances determine whether or not we should tell the truth? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

SAT写作范文:

Even though it is true that honesty is a great virtue, I still cannot help but believe that under some circumstances, choosing not to tell the truth is a wise decision. Look at O.Henry’sshort story, “the last leaf.” Johnsy suffers from pneumonia, a severe disease that can result inthe death of a person. Johnsy sinks into the depths of hopelessness. Seeing the leaves of ivyoutside her window fall down every day, she tells Sue, her best friend, that she must go whenthe last leaf falls. Fearing that Johnsy’s hold upon the world grows weaker, Sue goes to see Mr.Behrman, an old painter. Knowing the matter, Mr. Behrman comes up with a good idea ofdrawing a leaf on the tree outside Johnsy’s window. An artificial leaf will never fall down. WhenJohnsy sees the last leaf still stands out after the heavy rain and fierce wind, she has thecourage to fight with pneumonia. Finally she recovers. In this story, Sue knows the truth butdoes not tell Johnsy about the artificial leaf because she believes Johnsy can pluck up at thecritical time.

In the movie, les miserable, the bishop’s action also demonstrates that people should notalways tell the truth. In 1815, convict Jean Valjean is released on parole after serving anineteen-year sentence. Valjean is driven out of every town, because of his paroled status.Fortunately, later he is offered food and shelter by the Bishop of Digne. However, during thenight, Valjean steals silver when the Bishop sleeps soundly. The next day, he is captured by theauthorities, but the Bishop informs them that the silver was given to Valjean as a gift, thengives him even more, securing that Valjean be released. Moved by the Bishop's grace, Valjeanbreaks his parole, vowing to start an honest life helping others under a new identity and hereally performs his vow from then on. Had the Bishop told the truth, Valjean would have beenarrested and sent to prison, which would definitely ruin a person.

Another example that could be used to justify that circumstances determine wetherpeople should tell the truth or not is a story by Kathryn Forbes. The narrator actually lives inan impoverished family. One day she is filled with fear when she knows that Jensens in herneighborhood are put out because they cannot pay the rent. She fears that the same thing willhappen to her family. But her sister reminds her that they have a bank account. Thinking thattheir mother always tells them that they have a bank account downtown, the narrator feels asense of relief. Every time when the family needs money, children will volunteer to do somepart-time jobs and Papa will give up tobacco. Children do not want to withdraw money fromthe bank because they feel that with Mama’s bank account they can live without fear.When thenarrator grows up and gets her first check and asks Mama to put it in the bank account,Mama says they do not actually possess a bank account. In this story, Mama lies to her childrenabout the bank account when time is difficult because she does not want to make her childrenworry and she knows that it is not good for little ones to be afraid, to not feel secure. Whenchildren grow up and have ability to earn enough money, Mama chooses to tell them the truth.

Examples from O.Henry’s story, the last leaf, the behavior of the kind Bishop and Mama’swhite lie can illustrate that if we want the world to move in the right direction we mustunderstand that in some situations we should not tell the complete truth.(639字)

小编在研究SAT和托福写作过程中,经常发现SAT和托福有重复的话题。比如“是否应该讲真话”这个话题不仅出现在SAT写作当中,也会出现在托福写作里。我们熟悉的例子是欧亨利的小说,最后一片树叶。但是其实文学作品中有很多不说真话带来好结果的例子。比如悲惨世界里的主教。当冉阿让偷了主教的银器被抓到主教面前时,主教说,这些银器是送给冉阿让的。主教善意的谎言避免冉阿让再次入狱。除此之外,美国作家凯瑟琳福布斯的故事,妈妈的银行账户,讲述了一个贫寒家庭的母亲,为了不让幼小的孩子担心,撒谎说她在城里有一个银行账户。每次家里需要钱的时候,妈妈总是会说,我们看看是否能努力一点,这样就避免了动用我们的银行账户。孩子们因为知道妈妈在银行有存款,都很安心,也很积极配合妈妈,做一些力所能及的兼职工作。等孩子们长大,能自己挣钱了,妈妈才告诉孩子们,她这一生,根本没进过银行。这些都是很好的素材,希望大家能顺便积累上。

看过这篇优美的写作经典范文,同学们可能发现了自己的差距,但是,有差距不要紧,就怕自己明知道差距还不努力追赶,为了自己的人生不留遗憾,为了明天美利坚升起的太阳,大家还是要努力克服自己的懒惰,多背多记多看,学英语没有什么好方法,无非重复二字。最后,还是用林宥嘉的《说谎》来结束本篇文章。“我没有说谎,别说我说谎,人生已经如此的艰难,有些事情就不要拆穿。”
