Everyone
tells a lie once in a while. Lies are not always bad. Sometimes white lies are necessary to maintain good
relationships with others.
For example, in some cases, you can¡¯t really tell people the truth.
Let¡¯s say, for instance, your friend asks you how she looks in her
new dress. You may think that dress is a disaster. But you can¡¯t really
say that. Instead, you would say, ¡°It looks really great on you!¡±
And, there are techniques to telling a good
lie that does not hurt anyone.
To our surprise, there is even a contest to choose the world¡¯s best liar!
The World¡¯s Biggest Liar contest is held in London every year. Interestingly, politicians and lawyers are
not allowed to participate in the contest.
Yes, they are considered to have an unfair advantage! Contestants had
five minutes to impress the judges with a whopping but convincing lie.
This year,
the fun contest was held in northwestern England. Amazing liars from
all over the world came to tell lies. Judges are still in discussions
over winner of this year¡¯s best liar. The competition was founded in
honor of 19th century landlord Will Ritson, who
was famous for his tall tales. |
