this is my response to a TOEFL test simulation.. any suggestions? when it comes to building a successful rapport, many aspects may become debatable. Being constantly truthful is one of the aforementioned issues.While many opinions think of that as the bottom line to supports a wholesome relationship, others -to whome I myself belong- won't mind smuggling some lies. No one would refuse the screming fact that telling the truth is mostly difficult, knowing the fact that it may lead to a hidious influence or perhaps rip the whole relationship up. However, big problems should be clarified and compromised between spouses, whatever consequences could they lead to. For instance, when a man cheats on his wife, he should tell her about it and leave her the free choice to consider either breaking up or forgiveness. Besides, if a woman suffers from chronic disease, she's bound to relieve that to her man, because he has the right to decide whether to stay or leave away. These opinions comes from the fact that; relationship is about being released from selfishness and sharing life with another human being. Thus, anything that bears the probability to stab the essence of this sacred bond shouldn't be concealed. On the other hand, some trivial issues could be skipped when it comes to truth since they won't do the couple any favor more than argument. For example, a woman doesn't have to tell her soulmate about going out with a girlfriend who he doesn't like since that could get drive the couple into an unneeded argument fracturing their strong relationship badly. Another example, if a man accidently crashes the neighbourhood's car, he doesn't have to involve his wife in that. He could simply compenstae his neighbourhood's loses and preceed with his live without getting his wife through any stress. Thus, lying is acceptible in such situations. Finally, even though most people think that telling the truth shouldn't be a constant habit, some successful relationships are totally based on truth. Morover, the majority of people differ in their views in determening the meaning of a "white lie".
