SAT写作范文：谎言.

　　SAT写作时间为25分钟，要求就作文命题中的一对对立论点阐述自己的观点，无字数限制。下面为大家整理了一篇SAT写作范文，这篇获得高分的SAT写作考试范文的主要是关于谎言的，大家可以在备考自己的SAT写作考试的时候根据自己的实际情况，进行适当的准备和借鉴。

　　笔者在教SAT和托福写作过程中，经常发现SAT和托福有重复的话题。比如“是否应该讲真话”这个话题不仅出现在SAT写作当中，也会出现在托福写作里。我们熟悉的例子是欧亨利的小说，最后一片树叶。但是其实文学作品中有很多不说真话带来好结果的例子。比如悲惨世界里的主教。当冉阿让偷了主教的银器被抓到主教面前时，主教说，这些银器是送给冉阿让的。主教善意的谎言避免冉阿让再次入狱。

　　除此之外，美国作家凯瑟琳福布斯的故事，妈妈的银行账户，讲述了一个贫寒家庭的母亲，为了不让幼小的孩子担心，撒谎说她在城里有一个银行账户。每次家里需要钱的时候，妈妈总是会说，我们看看是否能努力一点，这样就避免了动用我们的银行账户。孩子们因为知道妈妈在银行有存款，都很安心，也很积极配合妈妈，做一些力所能及的兼职工作。等孩子们长大，能自己挣钱了，妈妈才告诉孩子们，她这一生，根本没进过银行。

　　Even though it is true that honesty is a great virtue, I still cannot help but believe that under some circumstances, choosing not to tell the truth is a wise decision. Look at O.Henry’s short story, “the last leaf.” Johnsy suffers from pneumonia, a severe disease that can result in the death of a person. Johnsy sinks into the depths of hopelessness. Seeing the leaves of ivy outside her window fall down every day, she tells Sue, her best friend, that she must go when the last leaf falls. Fearing that Johnsy’s hold upon the world grows weaker, Sue goes to see Mr. Behrman, an old painter. Knowing the matter, Mr. Behrman comes up with a good idea of drawing a leaf on the tree outside Johnsy’s window. An artificial leaf will never fall down. When Johnsy sees the last leaf still stands out after the heavy rain and fierce wind, she has the courage to fight with pneumonia. Finally she recovers. In this story, Sue knows the truth but does not tell Johnsy about the artificial leaf because she believes Johnsy can pluck up at the critical time.

　　In the movie, les miserable, the bishop’s action also demonstrates that people should not always tell the truth. In 1815, convict Jean Valjean is released on parole after serving a nineteen-year sentence. Valjean is driven out of every town, because of his paroled status. Fortunately, later he is offered food and shelter by the Bishop of Digne. However, during the night, Valjean steals silver when the Bishop sleeps soundly. The next day, he is captured by the authorities, but the Bishop informs them that the silver was given to Valjean as a gift, then gives him even more, securing that Valjean be released. Moved by the Bishop&aposs grace, Valjean breaks his parole, vowing to start an honest life helping others under a new identity and he really performs his vow from then on. Had the Bishop told the truth, Valjean would have been arrested and sent to prison, which would dinitely ruin a person.

　　Another example that could be used to justify that circumstances determine wether people should tell the truth or not is a story by Kathryn Forbes. The narrator actually lives in an impoverished family. One day she is filled with fear when she knows that Jensens in her neighborhood are put out because they cannot pay the rent. She fears that the same thing will happen to her family. But her sister reminds her that they have a bank account. Thinking that their mother always tells them that they have a bank account downtown, the narrator feels a sense of reli. Every time when the family needs money, children will volunteer to do some part-time jobs and Papa will give up tobacco. Children do not want to withdraw money from the bank because they feel that with Mama’s bank account they can live without fear.When the narrator grows up and gets her first check and asks Mama to put it in the bank account, Mama says they do not actually possess a bank account. In this story, Mama lies to her children about the bank account when time is difficult because she does not want to make her children worry and she knows that it is not good for little ones to be afraid, to not feel secure. When children grow up and have ability to earn enough money, Mama chooses to tell them the truth.

　　Examples from O.Henry’s story, the last leaf, the behavior of the kind Bishop and Mama’s white lie can illustrate that if we want the world to move in the right direction we must understand that in some situations we should not tell the complete truth.(639字)
