In his speech, the lecturer Ven. explained clearly the topic “Words of truth and lies”. It is important at your school to friends, teachers and then family, society, etc,. as environments around you. Saying sincerely between the friends together is the good motivation to share in life, particularly in their studying. Besides, it is the teachers' belief at your school. More importantly, in your family, when you have truth words that will make your parents believe in communication with your friends and in the social life outside.

In today's society, many young people lie to their parents, teachers and friends for actions such as going out, leaving home, truanting with bad friends, running into bars or eating out. ... A lie can lose the friendship and trust of a loved one. The lie can make us and the people around us miserable. So, to say what we have to think is true words or lies. Please cherish what you currently have and always have to use the word "Sorry" in the situation that you made a mistake.
