Every day - in every area of our lives - we tell and hear a thousand lies. Not cruel lies. Not harinful lies. Not lies that matter. No, of course not. But great lies: It'll be ready in an hour. Your cheque is in the post. Fresh today. I will call you. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Of course, I love only you. We pretend with no effort and less guilt, that we don't lie through our teeth every minute of the day - and everyone else pretends that they don't either.
But lying saves time and worries. It makes every- body happier than they would be if they always told or had to listen to the truth. After all, you don't really want to hear that you'll be lucky if you ever see your gadget again. When you find out that you're not going
to get paid, at least for a few months, you feel stressed.
Why should you want to know that the last cabbage in the shop - needed urgently for the salad you're making for the dinner party - has been under the cash register with the cat fur for the last two weeks? You're hardly going to tell anyone that you are going to eat an entire family size bag of potato chips. Not likely. Moreover, if you want to sell your car, you are not going to tell the buyer that the door does not lock.
Think like this: life is a complicated, fragile and sensitive machine - not great, perhaps, but the only one we've got - and lies are the oil that keeps the whole thing from blowing into our faces.

After all that. I said my mom that I really want swim. My mom asked her friend to give me some skills at swimming, after two years I was go to the to the water slides and it was really cool. But suddenly I saw that a boy younger than me by a year fell into the pool and I swam to him it turned out that he did not know how to swim. Then I took it and rowed it ashore. I also participated in several swimming competitions.
That why I’m good at swimming

My Hobby Is Swimming
My hobby is swimming and I think it is the best hobby in the world. Swimming is a life skill which everyone should have.
My dad taught me to swim when I was five. It was in the summer when we went to the seaside. Since that time my favourite summer pastime has been swimming in our river or the local swimming pool. In fact I go swimming all year round. In autumn, winter and spring I go to the swimming pool three times a week and these days are the best for me. I have already taken part in a few school swimming competitions and I can say I like races, especially when I win them.
I think I love swimming because it is great to float on the water and feel almost weightless. Besides, it is a great exercise to my body. It makes me fit and healthy. It also helps me to relax and feel free of any problems.
Мое хобби — плавание
Мое хобби — плавание, и я думаю, что это лучшее хобби в мире. Плавание — это жизненный навык, которым должен владеть каждый.
Мой папа научил меня плавать, когда мне было пять лет. Это было летом, когда мы отправились на море. С тех пор моё любимое летнее занятие — плавать в нашей речке или в местном бассейне. На самом деле я занимаюсь плаванием круглый год. Осенью, зимой и весной я хожу в бассейн три раза в неделю, и эти дни для меня самые лучшие. Я уже участвовал(а) в нескольких школьных соревнованиях по плаванию и могу сказать, что мне нравятся заплывы на скорость, особенно когда я их выигрываю.
Я думаю, что люблю плавать, потому что это классно — держаться на воде и чувствовать себя почти невесомым. Кроме того, это отличное упражнение для моего тела. Оно делает мне поддерживать форму и здоровье. Оно также мне расслабиться и избавиться от всех проблем
