Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? When and why? It seems that everybody tells lies - well, not big lies, but what we call "white lies" The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to A recent study found that in conversation people frequently stretch
the truth Here are some ways they do it
People often 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 the guys
Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something For example, someone invites you to a party You think it will be boring so you say that you are busy and can't come
Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good For example, your friend cooks dinner
for you, but it tastes terrible Do you say so? No! You probably say "Hmm, this is delicious!"
Other times we don't want to tell someone bad news For example, you have just had bad day
at work, but you don't want to talk about it So, if someone asks about your day, you just say
everything was fine
Telling "white lies" isn't really bad Most of the time people do it because they want to protect a friendship

Trang 10The Test of English as a Foreign Language (or TOEFL for short) evaluates the potential
success of an individual to use and understand Standard American English at a college level It
is required for non-native applicants at many English-speaking colleges and universities
Additionally, institutions such as government agencies, businesses, or scholarship programs
may require this test A TOEFL score is valid for two years and then is deleted from the official database Colleges and universities usually consider only the most recent score The TOEFL
test is a registered trademark of Education Testing Service and is administered worldwide The test was first administered in 1964 and has since been*taken by nearly 20 million students
Since its introduction in late 2005, the Internet-Based test (iBT) has progressively replaced both the computer-based (CBT)and paper-based (PBT) tests The iBT has been introduced in with
the United States, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy in 2005 and the rest of the world in
2006, with test centers added regularly Although the demand for test seats was very high, and candidates had to wait for months, it is now possible to take the test within one to four weeks in most countries The four-hour test consists of four sections, each measuring mainly one of the basic language skills (although some tasks may require multiple skills) focusing on language
used in an academic, higher-education environment Note-taking is allowed during the iBT The test cannot be taken more than once a week
36 TOEFL is required for all high school students in the US
