In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based
on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants Moreover early marriage is quite illegal

Trang 2People often (1) lie because they want to hide something from someone For example, a son doesn’t tell his parents that he is dating a girl because he doesn’t think they will like her In stead, he says
he is going out with his boy friends
Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to do something For example, someone (2) you to a party You think it will be boring so you say you are busy and can’t come
Often you stretch the truth to make someone feel good For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes (3) Do you say so? No! You probably say “Hmm, this is delicious!”
Telling “white lie” isn’t really bad Most of the time people do it because they want (4) friendship
