TOEFL independent writing essay 2


Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Telling the truth is the most important thing in relationships. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

We always communicate with other people and try to improve our relationships. People say that the integral consideration in a relationship among people is always telling the truth. Personally, I agree with this statement, and there are several reasons that can explain my opinion.
First of all, being honest and always telling the truth makes people in a relationship trust each other more. This works for both sides of a relationship, inasmuch as the person who tells the truth and is being honest, trusts the other person his/her secrets, and the other person, also, trusts him/her, because he understands the importance of not lying. This is really visible among the kids. For example, if a kid lies to the other kid about not having a toy, buy confusing him, the other one will not trust him anymore and will start communicating with others.

The second reason for my opinion is that by telling the truth people feel safer in a relationship. They do not have any secrets, and they are not afraid of the other person discovering it. Sometimes, telling the truth can be very painful for a person and lead to fights among people, as it might hurt the other’s feelings, but still, it is better than hiding anything important. For instance, let us say, a kid accidentally broke or destroyed something that is important to his mother. If he tries to hide it by not wanting to hurt his mother, she still will discover it sooner or later, and get angry at him, but id he shows it to her, tells everything and apologizes, his mother will forgive him and will not get mad.
In conclusion, telling the truth increases the level of trust, safety, and understanding in a relationship, and is truly very important. After all, what would our world be like, if people always lied to each other and were not honest?
