Although honesty is believed to be a virtue, there arestill dishonest people in our society. For example, somebusinessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some studentscheat in the exams.
Dishonest people are short-sighted. Those who sell fakeproducts may make money at first but consumers won't buy theirproducts any more. As a result, they will lose their fortune oreven be sent to prison. By contrast, honest people gain a lot.Those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only letothers trust them but gain respect from other people as well. Suchpersons are sure to have a lot of good friends. Because they aretrustable and respectable, everyone is eager to make friends withthem. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to geta good job. Generally speaking, every employer wants his employeesto be honest. So we can say that anyone who is honest will be paidback later.
In a word, honesty wins trust, respect and honour. So it isimportant that we should be honest.（182）

Nowadays, many people choose not to be honest in our modernsociety. We almost can find such things every day of our life: somestudents cheat in the exam for higher marks; some corporations tellwrong data to the public in order to get more investment; and somedoctors treat their patients with unnecessary and expensivemedicines in order to make money, sometimes damaged the patients'health, even their life.
Seeing this situation, I think it must be changed. Beinghonest will benefit not only others, but also ourselves. First,your honesty will make others willing to trust you. Second, beinghonest can lead you to face your problem bravely, which helps tosolve it. And the last, honesty surely helps to make the societymore harmony!'
So, I think everyone should start to be honest and everyoneshould have the idea that our society can not do withouthonesty.

In our modern social life, there are many examples aroundus show many people are cheated. Advertisementscheat people, salesmen cheat people, even one's closest friendscheat him or her. So many heartbreaks are heard everyday that wecannot help asking: where is our honest exist?
Everybody is taught honest in the primary schoolor even in the kindergarten. Honesty does good not only toourselves, but to others as well. If we are .honest to others, wewill be happier and be in a better mood. Otherwise, we'll feelguilt at last. To a company and its advertisement, honesty willbring it more consumer and more profit. If we cheat others, friendswill never believe you and they will leave you alone. To a company,no consumer will buy your product again!
So, as the above is said, it pays to be honest. Let'screate a morally outstanding social.

With the development of modern economic and industry,competitive is becoming more and more obvious. At the same time,the performance of dishonest is becoming more and moreclearly.
Nowadays, there are many dishonest performance in oursociety. For example,
some people found that he saled goods had past the perservationdate. Not throw them
away, they revised the perservation date, and saled them againafter several days.
Another case in the point, a pair of shoes was made from goat.However, in order to
sale at a high price, the salers would say they were made from cowwhich has good
quality.
From the foregoing, we can see that dishonest does not onlyharm to yourselves but also harm to others. And it is no use onlyrealise the harmness of dishonest. We should be honest from now onand be honest in our daily life. It is only that people all overthe world are honest then our country will be beautiful andwealthy.(166)

Now in our society, many people are not honest in doingsoming. we often call meet with soming happened cause by people whoare not honest. For example, Now we take the bus need carry centsown, and when you upstairs the bus, you should put the cent intothe money box. Every people do that, but some of the people put theother things instead the cents. For another example, it is morenormal that in the exams we can always find some students seeothers.
Iconsider that every people should be honest. As a people, honestshould be first, because it can make us to be increase and make oursocity develop. In doing every thing we should be honest all,study, work, life and so on. If you are honest, every people willbe friend to you, and who will regard you are good people. But ifyou don't be honest, people must unwilling to tram with you. So ifyou are want to be a good people, remember honestfirst.(175)
