Telling lies for a better world?
Lies have a bad reputation. Telling the truth is normally considered to be a good thing. One conventional view of lying is that it is bad in itself and should be avoided at all costs. Another conventional view is that the consequences of lying are often bad, so lying should be avoided except in extreme circumstances. In the past two decades, though, a number of authors have challenged conventional wisdom, arguing that lying is not as bad as normally thought and that a number of other beliefs about lying are misunderstood. A well-known study even shows that an ordinary person tells three lies every ten minutes.
So what is your opinion of telling lies? How is your relationship with them? What do you do when being lied to? And more importantly, when and how do you choose to lie?
Please write your view on the topic with about 300 words. You can add a title by yourself.

记第十四届全国创新英语大赛夏令营(By:周欣吾桐)
几米的阳光洒下点点星辰,闪烁着马场的绿草茵茵,一路上,我们拉着行李,以青春的姿态迎接不一样的绚烂夏天。
【营地】
从南站出发,我们坐着大赛安排的大巴来到温泉度假村。
报到,登记,录指纹。16#302,看着手中的房卡,我一路寻着指示牌,拉着行李,走在绿竹融融的林荫道上。沿途,偶然邂逅朱漆大门,琉璃瓦顶,碧玉宫墙,悠悠飘来的古色古香雅致又独特。
到了寝室,拉开窗帘,简直被惊呆了!竟然——全是马!度假村的马场上,马儿在马厩里悠悠地摆着尾巴。嘿!马儿,朝这边看咯,咱们先来张合影!路途上的疲惫与缱绻在马儿们带来的惊喜中瞬间消散无影。
我穿上发来的营服,迎接室友逸文的到来,吃了饭,回房间,看起大赛日程的小册子。
夏令营就在星空下马儿的嘶鸣声中拉开的华丽的序幕。
【排位赛&故事接龙&辩论赛】
第一天的排位赛是brainstorm的舞台,排位赛充满奇幻色彩的作文简直让我们脑洞大开。排位赛后的故事接龙说明更像是战场上的第二声号角,再次振奋人心。
在辅导员老师逐个宣布分组情况后,我们组很快聚集在了一起。
回寝室的路上,6个人进行了初步战略谋划,故事接龙的题目虽然猜不到,但预备模拟的工作是少不了的。我们决定先模拟比赛,编几个故事试试看。很快,第一个故事在大家的齐心协力下出炉了:一个月黑风高的夜晚,小明接到老朋友的电话,回忆起和老朋友的点滴往事,热泪盈眶。
一人一分钟的回答时间,我是2号,负责切入回忆,展开叙旧,难以驾驭的往事煽情风对一向以正经风为主线的我真是一大挑战。第一个故事几乎是在各种笑声中编完的,之后,我们又模拟了好几个不同场景的话题,并分配了各自的任务。整装待发!加油!
第二天早上,故事接龙开始。拿到题目,熟悉的场景,不一样的开头,10分钟滴滴答答,在准备室我们6人迅速脑补,大开脑洞。台上,我们徐徐道来,6分钟的故事完整流利。成绩公布时,咱们组都拿到了不错的成绩,集体的力量太强大,赞赞赞!
如果说故事接龙是想象力的天与地,那么辩论赛便是逻辑的驰骋场,给我一匹野马,驰骋于龙脉马场。辩论赛我是12A组,抽到的辩题是动物试验是否需要禁止,作为正方,我们要极力维护动物权利。晚上,5个小组成员聚集在了一起。“2辩,干细胞移植你来说!”“好的好的,动物权利也是很好的论点。”“恩,猩球崛起也是很好的例子!”“对啊,可以在对方反击的时候用!”“咱们明天一定要抓住别人的漏洞攻击!”······
一个晚上的讨论,满满的几页论点论据,咱们胸有成竹。
第二天,走上辩论台,看着放在我前方正方二辩的牌子,吼吼,唇舌剑走起吧。果然,不出乎我们所料,反方的想法早在我们掌控之下,反击的我们不急不慢,却正中要害,让精彩辩论充斥着火药味儿。Team work 的成功为一晚的奋斗喝彩。更让我惊喜的是,辩论赛评分时,我得到了三个评委的额外加分。
排位赛&故事接龙&辩论赛,铁人三项,过关斩将,比赛的一路来就像冲关大冒险一样,犹如骑着野马摇身变成风一般的女子,嗖嗖嗖,简直酷炫!【20强】
书画院的夜晚不平静,20强即将诞生。
当屏幕上出现我的名字时,激动的心情再也按捺不住了,yeah!
我成功进入前20强,fighting!
20强进10争夺赛有3个环节,第一环节是即兴演讲,取该环节前3名直接晋级十强;第二环节主题演讲,取该环节前5名晋级;第三环节拉票,打动评委,争取最后的两个晋级席位。
晚上9点,主题演讲内容公布,beauty is in the eye of beholder,听了辅导员介绍比赛规则云云事项后,匆匆的我们奔回寝室,着手准备3分钟命题演讲内容。
早上8点,比赛开始。坐在比赛席上的20强们嘴里念念有词,准备熬夜煮出的主题救命讲稿,大家都想快点背下来,念叨着千万不要忘词,做到脱稿演讲。
我是三号,即兴演讲一下就轮到我了,拿起话筒定了定神,“supplement”“food”“unnatural”,思考片刻,马上开讲。第一轮结束,公布的第一轮晋级名单三人,没有我,看来第二轮要加油了。
第二轮命题演讲,我从亲身经历说起,简析“情人眼里出西施”的社会价值和审美判定,继而谈到如此这般的利与弊,诸如打破社会审美的条条框框之利,以便概全之弊等等。一味的论述略显单薄无力,于是我转而又提到了红楼梦里贾宝玉眼中林妹妹的完美独特,再“以心之所向即为风景”作为总结。开心的是,在第二轮,我与其他4位小伙伴们顺利晋级。
在第三轮的拉票环节中,余下的选手通过一分钟打动评审团,主题不限,内容不限,自由发挥。紧张的氛围渲染地一丝不苟,尤其是在宣布结果前,评委在两位选手中犹豫不定,只好加赛,其中的一位选手使出杀手锏,一段超级长超级拽的英语绕口令足足持续了2分多钟,让在场的小伙伴们惊呆了。
【总决赛】
荣幸的我进入10强,但因时间冲突无缘结营晚会的主持人了。2天前,我参加了夏令营结营晚会主持人的初试复试总审,有幸成为了四位主持人中的一员。大赛组委会说十强选手不能兼任晚会主持人,日程安排的短促确实易顾此失彼。只好委屈急着从淘宝订的礼服了,刚乘着顺丰的航班飞过来,理理好,带回家吧。
决赛第一轮是情景表演,我抽到三号签,与同是奇数号的朵依,刘晟,刘泓易,王屹翀分在一组。
经过构思,我们将情景设置在当今流行的选秀节目现场,American talent show。在final competition中,2号选手事先贿赂评委,但最终,网络大众评审们维护正义与公平,将Champion颁给了1号选手。搞笑的台词背后是赤裸裸的抨击。
我饰演1号选手,在害羞地自我介绍后,伴着甄嬛传菩萨蛮表演了一段惊鸿舞。
聚光灯下,我们组把5分钟的小短剧演地淋漓尽致。
“咱们好棒,自己赞一个!”台下,休息之余,小小的庆功宴短促上演。
10进8,我顺利晋级,第二轮,我加入了1号选手刘晟的正方行列,“poorer countries should have more public holidays” 前台戏剧表演大咖们上演着三打白骨精的戏码,后台我们准备着,辩论赛的较量即将开始。
我作为正方4辩,在听取了各方辩论后进行了总结。
8进6,我被淘汰,努力了,收获了,满足了。
后台,是战友们坚实的阵地,“没事没事,很棒了啦!”,倒下的,爬起来,拍拍灰,前方的战友们,继续加油!
总决赛结束了,接过奖状的那一刻,是激动更是感动,记忆的星星点点如闪光灯,照耀着我们前方的路。
赛后,我们笑说冠军大大要请吃饭,和小伙伴们拍了照,少不了地互相调侃道,兄弟相逢,有缘有缘,苟富贵,勿相忘!
“听说龙脉度假村有泡温泉的,免费的?”“约吗?”【末】
回家的动车上,打开短信,是朵依发来的“猫富贵,勿相喵!”
这杜撰的太绝了!我笑着reply。
绚烂的夏天,不一样的精彩,成长的路上,感谢有你。
窗外是飘过的景,青草,绿树,天空,太阳,小伙伴们,总感觉,青春也像这般,我们,一路前行,不一样的风景,不一样的心情。
十强争霸赛
十强争霸共有三轮,第一轮晋级两位选手,第二轮晋级五位,剩下的两个在第三轮靠拉票选出。而在前两轮演讲都以失败告终后,我第三次踏上了十强争霸的舞台,十六进二的概率,那个幸运儿会是我吗?
以下是我的拉票词
I believe I have talked too much on the stage this morning, and I am also clear that these 60 seconds will possibly be my last minute here, but that is okay. Whatever !It is just an interesting game. I have already shown you how much I love English, then is there anything I got make me feel regretful or sorry for? The answer is obviously the negative. Thank you!
或许是因为这份从容,或许是源于对英语的热爱,就这样,我再一次成为了一只lucky dog.我进十强了!!
但是喜悦的小云朵很快就飘走了。新一轮的比赛任务很快发到我面前,我跟队友又迅速转入了激烈的备战状态。
十强选手大赛感言之顾茗倩——“绚烂的夏天,多彩的回忆”
从总决赛结束至今已经6天的时间,我坐在电脑前面,静静地回忆和思考在12届创新英语大赛总决赛夏令营中度过的五天五夜。有忐忑也有喜悦,有感动也有收获。
高一升高二的我是第一次参加创新英语大赛,最初也是被她新颖有趣的比赛形式所吸引。创新英语与其他英语比赛最大的不同,就是比赛形式的创新性和综合性。从初赛的作文比赛开始,就从听、说、读、写等各个方面综合考察选手的英语能力。而这决赛夏令营的比赛活动,更是丰富多彩。
在前三天的二十强选手选拔中,有故事接龙、排位赛、模拟联合国三个比赛项目。故事接龙五人一组,给与10分钟的时间准备,编成一个小故事。在抽到开头以后,我们组的选手就迅速高效地确定了主题和总纲。正式比赛时,我们的故事讲得绘声绘色、流畅自然。故事接龙的比赛,我获得了三个9分的成绩,还算正常发挥。晚上的排位赛主要综合考察选手的英语笔试能力,包括英语数学题、逻辑推理题、阅读理解和诗歌赏析等题型。
模拟联合国比赛,是创新英语今年首次开展的比赛形式,考察选手的演讲、礼仪、思维等方面,也是我准备得时间最长的比赛。作为巴拉圭的代表,我和另外两位代表花费两天时间,认真地着手查找国家资料、确定国家立场、撰写立场文件、联合其他国家组成同盟,忙得不亦乐乎。在我所在的第二会场上,33个国家争相发言,讨论一个又一个的议题。我提出了一个“发展和研究潜在新能源”的动议,从巴拉圭的水力、生物质能和各国的新能源潜力的角度发表了演讲,又在法国代表提出的 “联合国在各国发展新能源”的动议中,发表了本国看法。模联比赛虽然结束了,但我们和其他代表获得的友谊与国际视野,却会长留心中。
我以第四名的身份晋级二十强,开始认真准备争夺十强的比赛。十强争夺赛分三个环节。第一个环节即兴演讲,直接晋级三名选手。第二个环节是主题演讲,前一天晚上得知主题为微信,晋级五名。最后一个环节是拉票,晋级两名。当我得知第二轮的主题是微信之后,我就坚定地告诉自己,对于我这个不玩微信的人来说,第一环节必须晋级。第一环节的即兴演讲,是我熟悉得不能再熟悉的比赛项目。一分钟的演讲,我很好地掌握了时间,正常发挥,结果如愿以偿,以第一名的身份晋级了10强。
10强比赛是在北京园博园举行的。为了准备第一环节的情景剧表演,我们一组的五个人齐心协力,编写剧本,排练情景。至今还记得,我和席祯一起扮演两个创业的朋友,一起写对话,一起唱歌,一起画作为道具的包和衣服,一起在小教室里面一遍又一遍地练习。当5分钟的情景剧全部准备结束之后,我们为成功的合作击掌相庆。5颗心聚集在一起,朝着一个方向努力,会获得这么大的成果。接下来八进六的辩论赛,席祯遗憾地止步六强,我在心中默默地祝福她:其实走到这一步,大家都是胜者。最后六进四,决出冠亚季的两轮比赛,我都和十号朱轩慧搭档。也许是一种默契,我们在台上的合作都十分完美,过程流畅自然,时间掌握得也十分恰当。在这个舞台上,个人的风采和能力固然重要,但合作能力往往也决定了很多。
当得知我获得冠军,朱轩慧获得亚军以后,我们很会心地拥抱了一下。五天的一幕幕又涌现在脑海里。室友们给我的加油和回宿舍后蹑手蹑脚,害怕影响我的比赛;队友们的互相鼓励和加油;准备比赛时忙碌的身影,专注的眼神;创新英语工作人员的悉心指导和照料……这个夏天,我收获的不仅仅是冠军的奖项,还有知识、自信、友谊,或许还有更多,陪伴我一点点成长。
十强选手大赛感言之席祯——“生如夏花之绚烂”
【Farewell】
我用前世的五百次回眸换今生与你一次擦肩而过。那么,我的小伙伴们,我究竟要用多少次回眸,才能换来和同样热爱英语的你们在这里相遇相识相知,让我们生命轨迹有所交错。
只是六天五夜的时光如白驹过隙。
【Memory】
在回去的路上,周围的喧嚣渐渐退却了。夕阳在疾行的高楼中做盛大告别,炫目如斯。回忆里的笑声,歌声,欢呼声,雨水声,虫鸣声,耳畔的低语声,月亮穿行和尘土飞扬的声音,她和他清晰温和的声线,都毫无征兆的在脑海里响起。
忘不了进十强后戈雯冲出人群抱住我时激动的泪水,忘不了和戈雯,高雅,苏航聊天聊到凌晨三点和那句谢谢你把我们当成亲近的人。
忘不了辅导员凌晨一点半还依然忙碌的身影,忘不了工作人员们牺牲了自己的休息时间为了我们忙得团团转,忘不了甄嬛姐姐的那支惊鸿舞和在听闻我失落后的安慰和鼓励。忘不了辅导员姐姐满校园找到我后欣慰却没有丝毫责怪的表情。忘不了辅导员们和老师们虽然严厉但不乏关怀的言辞。
忘不了故事接龙后互相留联系方式时激动的拿着笔的手,忘不了模联大家穿着正装潇洒干练的身姿,忘不了嘉楠的支持与鼓励。忘不了情景演绎准备时和马修祺,超逸,茗倩,轩慧的欢声笑语,忘不了与茗倩谈理想与未来和她搂住我时萌翻了的笑容。
忘不了总决赛时的不在状态和令人抓狂的口误,忘不了看到素描画没有在宣传片里的失落以致影响后面的比赛。忘不了被淘汰时超逸和廖青的拥抱。
忘不了临走时石侨和书佳的千般叮咛,忘不了石侨信里的那句“你是一个很棒的姑娘,我呀,希望你能被更多人所喜爱。”
忘不了成人礼party上我们一起在舞台上放肆的绽放豆蔻年华的魅力之花,忘不了我们在开营时一起写给18岁的信,折纸飞机放飞梦想。
风停止的时候,纸飞机会落在哪里你无法预料,命运也是一样,可不想被现实束缚的我们,必须展开翅膀逆风飞翔,才能描绘出如同这纸飞机和绚烂夏天般多彩的青春。
【Pursue】
每经历一次劫难,告诉自己必须重新开始生活。自己和身边的人都在反复对自己催眠“你多幸运”,“你多幸福”…… 总是对人说:“脑子里的。都忘记了呢。” 只是许多时候,我们骗不了自己,吃过的苦,流过的泪,受过的伤痛,委屈和苦难,只有自己才知道。成长之路,虽布满荆棘,纵使伤痕无数,也要咬咬牙站起来,对自己唱,“I won’t give up, I won’t break down, sooner then it seems life turns around. I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong. When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe, someone is watching over me.”
足够了解我和我经历的人都说,你是一个奇迹。我喜欢英语,他可以让我把青春的热血挥洒在世界的不同角落,让我的梦想可以被不同的人读懂。我爱的,是我们这片小小的世界外更大更广阔的天地。虽然晴朗不会是唯一的天气,世界的每个角落,都落有灰暗的尘埃,我想用自己的小小的力量,来将这尘埃扫尽,我也需要你们大大的力量,在你们每个人眼里看到的,闪烁着青春和活力光彩的正能量。
20进10的拉票环节,我唱了这首someone is watching over me 。 我说,我是一个奇迹,你们每一个人都是一个奇迹。我们不甘平庸,我们不是小小的星辰,我们都有自己引以为傲的闪光点,我们都是光源。
就让我们聚集这奇迹的力量,来为世界创造更多的美好与光明。
【Claim】
我是理科女,但艺术是我的灵魂,钢琴和画笔都是我的精神伴侣,所以非常遗憾这次宣传片没有能够展示我生命中很重要的一部分。于是拿着两张素描和一张原图到海边照了几张,希望你们喜欢。
这次还有的许多遗憾、令人抓狂的口误和词不达意,我会补回来。I will be back.
Enjoy losing face, and enjoy gaining titles.
我远远不止你们所看到的模样。
记忆总是与时光背道而驰,六天五夜带给我的感动、欢乐、遗憾、失落,和精彩的体验不会忘记。收获的珍贵的友谊更不会舍弃。
Please never lose your faith. I will be there supporting you, anyone of you.
谢谢你们。我爱你们。 : )下载本文
