#truth #support
✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
On some occasions it is preferred to avoid telling the
truth
, In my point of view, I agree that being honest is not a great idea in parts of life,
However
, it doesn't mean that you should never tell the
truth
. First of all, not all people share similar opinions with you,
therefore
 if they ask for your opinion on something that they think is amazing but you don't really think so, I think it is better to respond with a fake answer because if you give him a clear and honest point of view they will get a bit depressed and think they are weird.
Furthermore
, not telling the
truth
 does not mean that you give them an opposite opinion than your true feeling, for illustration, your friend tells you how's his outfit but you do not really like it, the excellent response is to not exaggerate the outfit, just tell him that it is good, or if you want to add
an advice
Remove the article
advice
a piece of advice
a bit of advice

this
 method your friend will start to trust you. In conclusion, not telling the
truth
 is sometimes the best way to respond rather than not being

Correct your spelling
