Describe a situation when others didn’t tell you the whole truth. v. 1
Describe a situation when others didn’t tell you the whole truth. You should say: what the situation was who was involved why they didn’t tell you the whole truth and explain how you felt when you found out that you were not told the whole truth.   Model Answer 1: When somebody tells us a lie, we can detect it a certain stage and correct our mistakes. But, when somebody doesn’t tell us the whole truth, it can be even more damaging than a complete lie. But, this is life, and we do face a situation sometimes when we are not told the whole truth just like a time when I wasn’t told the complete truth either. It happened about a few years ago when I needed to fix my car. In fact, our car was giving trouble on and off for the previous few months. But, the problem was that we couldn’t find any other reliable car mechanic in my town after a few mechanics, I knew, either left the town or retired. So, when I learnt about the new mechanic and his “credentials”, I felt that we could finally get our car fixed again. Later on, I even provided the details also about my car problem to him, and he assured me that he would fix the problem within a few hours. So, the next morning, I left my car in his shop. But, when I came back to pick up my car later in that afternoon, he told me that it would take him the whole afternoon to fix the car as he detected a few other problems, even though I was pretty sure that my car didn’t have any other problems. Later on, I came to know that he didn’t tell me the whole truth because he didn’t find any problem with my car at all, after all, but he certainly wanted me to pay for his “lost time” which he “wasted” in figuring out the problem. Anyway, when I found out that I wasn’t told the whole truth by the mechanic, I felt a bit sad and mad. But, more importantly, I actually lost my faith in him which could be really damaging for a person’s reputation. However, this incident also encouraged me to learn to fix my own car, and other things, myself in order to avoid this kind of “unpleasant” situation.
Describe
a
situation
when others didn’t
tell
you the
whole
truth
. You should say: what the
situation
was who
was involved
why they didn’t
tell
you the
whole
truth
and
explain
how you felt when you found out that you were not
told
the
whole
truth
.
 
Model Answer 1:

When somebody
tells
us a lie, we can detect it a certain stage and correct our mistakes.
But
, when somebody doesn’t
tell
us the
whole
truth
, it can be even more damaging than a complete lie.
But
, this is life, and we do face a
situation
sometimes
when we are not
told
the
whole
truth
just
like a time when I wasn’t
told
the complete
truth
either.

It happened about a few years ago when I needed to
fix
my
car
. In fact, our
car
was giving trouble on and off for the previous few months.
But
, the
problem
was that we couldn’t find any
other
reliable
car
mechanic
in my town after a few mechanics, I knew, either
left
the town or retired.
So
, when I
learnt
about the new
mechanic
and his “credentials”, I felt that we could
finally
get
our
car
fixed
again.

Later on, I even provided the
details
also
about my
car
problem
to him, and he assured me that he would
fix
the
problem
within a few hours.
So
, the
next
morning, I
left
my
car
in his shop.
But
, when I came back to pick up my
car
later in that afternoon, he
told
me that it would take him the
whole
afternoon to
fix
the
car
as he detected a few
other
problems
,
even though
I was pretty sure that my
car
didn’t have any
other
problems
. Later on, I came to know that he didn’t
tell
me the
whole
truth
because
he didn’t find any
problem
with my
car
at all,
after all
,
but
he
certainly
wanted me to pay for his “lost time” which he “wasted” in figuring out the problem.

Anyway
, when I found out that I wasn’t
told
the
whole
truth
by the
mechanic
, I felt a bit sad and mad.
But
, more
importantly
, I
actually
lost my faith in him which could be
really
damaging for a person’s reputation.
However
, this incident
also
encouraged me to learn to
fix
my
own
car
, and
other
things, myself in order to avoid this kind of “unpleasant”
situation
.
