关于诚信的英语作文：Honesty is the best
policy

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英
语短文。
Good morning, ladies and gentemen. This is Li Hua from
Senior Three. I’m here today to share with you a good lesson
from an overseas Chinese student living in Germany. It is a true
story.
After years of hard work, this Chinese student graduated
with amazing academic achievements. Everyone thought he was
going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to
his disappointment, he was not even allowed the chance for an
interview! The third time he was turned down, he couldn’t help
telephoning the company to ask why they didn’t want him. The
answer was simple, “We don’t hire dishonest people in
Germany.”
What was wrong you might wonder? The truth is, shortly
aften he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was
easy to skip buying subway tickets. So, to save money, he often
went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a

ticket in the subway three times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term
benefits by dishonest means, but the truth will come out sooner
or later and the cost is high. So remember: honest is the best
policy.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!

Honesty is the best policy
By 兰银清
Today I read an instructive speech, in which the speaker
argues that honesty is the best policy by telling us a true story
about an overseas Chinese student who couldn’t find a job
because of his dishonesty records.
I can’t agree with the speaker more. Honesty means a
difference between success and will eventually bring people
benefits while dishonesty may bring people short -term benefits
but will surely bring disasters to them in the long run.
Examples of both aspects are countless. Take Mr. Mao,
who is headmaster of ××× national model high school now, for
example. In face of fierce competition, some teachers neglected
their students cheating in examinations and worse still some
even cheated themselves to please the school leaders. Mr Mao
strongly opposed this phenomenon. As a result, his honesty led
to his great success as a chemistry teacher and also his
promotion as headmaster three years ago. An opposite example
is the Sanlu milk powder company. In order to make more
money, they added a toxic chemical- melamine to the milk
powder they produced, which made it appear to have more
protein than was actually the case. The company made a lot of
money by such an dishonest means. But when the scandal was
disclosed, not only did the company have to close down, but
also some officials concerned were sent to prison.
Honesty is important in our study and future
career .Therefore, we should always bear in mind that honesty is
the best policy and promise to be honest in all life.
