中学生英语作文2.Be an Honest Child

    As we go through life,we make many choices.We make choices about what to do and also about what kind of person we want to be.In my opinion,we should always choose to be honest with the people in our lives.

    We need to be honest with our family,because they care about us the most.We can tell them anything and they will help us.Therefore,they deserve our honesty.We must also be honest with our friends,because friendship is based on honesty.True friends avoid telling white lies and tell the truth instead.Of course,we must be honest with our teachers,too.They are there to guide us and help us learn.If we cheat,they cannot help us.Most importantly,we have to be honest with ourselves.That means we must recognize our shortcomings.Only then can we work to improve them.

    In short,honesty is indeed the best policy.There are many benefits to being an honest child such as the friendship and respect of others.Perhaps an even greater benefit is the self-respect that we will gain.

中文翻译                     做个诚实的孩子

    在我们的一生中，我们会做出许多选择。我们选择自己要做什么，以及想要成为什么样的人。我认为，我们应该永远都选择诚实面对我们一生中所遇到的人。

    我们必须诚实面对家人，因为他们最关心我们。我们什么事都可以告诉他们，而他们也会帮我们。因此，他们值得我们诚实以对。我们也必须对朋友诚实，因为友谊的基础是诚实。真正的朋友会避免说善意的谎言，而会说实话。当然，我们也必须对老师诚实。老师会引导我们，以及帮助我们学习。如果我们作弊，他们就没办法帮助我们了。最重要的是，我们必须诚实面对自己。也就是说，我们必须承认自己的缺点。唯有这样，我们才能努力改善它们。

    简言之，诚实的确是上策。当个诚实的孩子有许多好处，像是获得他人的友谊以及尊敬。或许一个更大的好处，就是我们会获得自尊心。
