Question 2 of 8
2. Question
SECTION II: READING
Telling Lies
Section I
Most people are guilty of telling lies at some point in their lives. Many people tell white lies to protect someone else’s feelings. They may tell a child that Santa Claus brings their Christmas toys on his sleigh, but this is generally accepted as okay. People usually tell a bad lie to get out of trouble or to get someone else into trouble. They also lie to avoid being punished for something they have done wrong. It could be that they lie about themselves to others to make themselves seem more interesting, or simply for personal gain. So how do we know when someone isn’t telling the truth?
Section II
There are many tell-tale signs of lying according to experts. They claim that people who are lying usually have a shaky voice, whereas people telling the truth speak more clearly and more confidently. Some people speak very quickly when they are lying to try and convince the listener that they are telling the truth. Also, eye movements say a lot about the speaker. People who are pretending to tell the truth often look to the left when speaking, and those telling the truth would probably blink a lot. The opposite of this theory would be true if the person was naturally left-handed.
Section III
Body language is the main give-away when people are lying. Their bodies are very stiff and they use their arms and hands less when talking. Folding their arms across their chest shows they are putting a barrier between themselves and the person they are talking to. These people usually avoid eye contact with the listener or turn their head or body away from them because they feel uncomfortable about lying. People often touch their face and neck or scratch their nose when they aren’t being honest.
Section IV
However, experts in body language all agree that these facts alone are not enough to judge if someone is telling lies. Experts, and even polygraphs, the advanced machines designed to detect lying, make mistakes. In the end, perhaps you can only rely on your own sense of when someone is telling the truth. Do you feel that you can trust them? You might not know exactly how, but we humans are pretty good at spotting a lie.
