2. Answer this question?

 Do you think people can find “true love” through agencies or advertisements? Why yes/
Why Not?

Thanks to technological advances, there are now countless agencies or advertisements that,
according to them, allow us to find true love. In many occasions many couples have coincided with
their expectations and preferences, they have had great success in this way by getting their ideal
love and many have been wrong with the chosen person and have put their lives at risk.

Personally I am not part of these agencies or advertising to get friends or real love, I do not like to
talk to strangers, give my personal information, photos, videos and much less see me with
someone who is unknown to me, I find it unpleasant and over all very risky. Everyone with their
tastes.

Gracias a los avances tecnológicos actualmente existen un sinnúmero de agencias o publicidades

que según ellos permite encontrar el amor verdadero. En muchas ocasiones muchas parejas han
coincido con sus expectativas y preferencias, han tenido grandes éxitos al conseguir por este
medio su amor ideal y muchos se han equivocado con la persona elegida y han puesto su vida en
riesgo.

Personalmente no soy copartidaria con estas agencias o publicidades para conseguir amigos o el
amor verdadero, no me gusta hablarles a personas extrañas, dar mis datos personales, fotos,
videos y mucho menos verme con alguien que es desconocido para mí, me parece desagradable y
sobre todo muy riesgoso. Cada quien con sus gustos.

 6. Write a short article for a magazine with the title: Is it ever OK to lie?

Is it ever OK to lie?
Denying or affirming something is a contrary way
of hiding reality, leads to deception and triggers
countless lies one after another in order to
maintain or hide what it really is, although in many
people their falsehoods are coldly calculated or
premeditated, others incur to her as spontaneous
or fanciful expressions; The lies, no matter how
small, are harmful in the social relations of any
link, since it provokes distrust, uncertainty, doubts
and questions that devastate communication and
the good atmosphere.

Lying is not good, many get used to the lie and

make it a natural habit, they are easy to lie and
they do it so well that it is almost impossible to
know if it is really true, but at any moment it is
exposed and is frowned upon others and is a bad
example socially. Although the truth is very hard or
cruel we must speak truthfully, to be honest and
sincere is easier than living submerged in a world
of lies.
