国庆期间写的二篇英语文章：
Always telling the truth is the most important consideration in relationships
When most people are asked what kind of quality that they treasure in ones that they have a relationship with, they would go for honesty without a heartbeat-thinking. Well it’s time for them to reconsider, and here are my reasons for why friends don’t always need to tell the truth.
First of all, truth can sometimes lead into a catastrophe and break you down. So when you get furious, finding that you friend just lied in front of your face, don’t confront him/her yet. Think the other way around, maybe your friend just did a right thing for your own protection. There’s a story that I heard, a blind married woman named Sophie would always ask her kind neighbor to read her letters written by Sophie’s husband who’d just been sent to war. But when news came around that Sophie’s husband died in gunshots, the neighbor kept the news, wrote letters as her husband and secretly put the money in all the envelops. Now can you stand up and accuse the neighbor without any guilt? I think we both agree that the neighbor did the right thing, having the awareness that Sophie would crush after getting the information.
Furthermore, I’m confirmed that most of you don’t always want to learn the fact all the time. Let’s take an example, when you just bought some clothes that you fancy so much, but makes you chubbier than you already are. Would you enjoy hearing you friends say:” Hey! Did you put on some weight recently?” Of course not, right? And if you admit that you have those hideous eyebrows and tell your friends, I’m sure you want consolations like” They are not that bad!” instead of some metaphor like” You are right, they are like caterpillars!” So don’t ask too much from your friends for being both honest and gentle, and try to forgive them for making slim mistakes that could never possibly give you any troubles.
There are still other occasions that friends may fail to admit the truth. Like the fact that s/he doesn’t want to tell you his/her family is poor, or when some things their parents command to keep unrevealed. As long as you know the person is reliable and worth trusting for, there’s no thing to worry about. Don’t push it by making requirements that no lies allowed. Even between friends, there’s privacy that you need to protect with no-harm-caused lies.

Post-conflict Reconstruction
The United States of America
In the recent decades, conflicts in religious, ethnic and political hostility have never let go one chance to force us into the corners. Cases like 911 shall stay shaped into history, meanwhile have indicated that diminishing hatred must be set in the first priority after conflicts, just as the simple metaphor goes that every unquenched spark could lead to a wild fire grown by the blowing wind.
After the catastrophe that those two worldwide wars carved into human race’s civilization, ever single possibility of events alike must not be sought. Nations shall contact with one another, ethnic gap will be gradually closed with everyone’s effort. As a leading part in UNDP, United States should and will take the responsibility to set up an example and prove to the world that it will not surrender to the threats and abuse from terrorists and shall stay vigilant till every last second. And USA is willing to negotiate and work with ones that stand by justice 100%. Therefore I made my point, while valuing the importance of advocating the world peace, we’ve also got to stay on the guard, connect as a whole and together fight whoever is against it.
On this matter, UNDP did a pretty decent job by working with 100 people from different ethnic groups in the are to improve their negotiation skills and monitor potential incidents, based on which they engage community leaders and the local police to intervene.
