Honest day - Plano de aula - Nível Básico 2

Be honest. That's all you have to do on Honesty Day. It would be great if we were all honest every day of the year, but it's good that there's an official day to encourage honesty. That day is April 30th. The man who started Honesty Day, M. Hirsh Goldberg, chose the last day of April because the first day is April Fools' Day, which celebrates falsehoods, pranks and lies. Wikipedia.com says that on Honesty Day: "Anyone participating may ask any question they choose and the opposing person should give a truthful and straightforward answer. This is implying that the person who is answering the question has knowledge of Honesty Day." Perhaps some questions, like opinions, are best not answered honestly.
M. Hirsh Goldberg was a former press secretary of the U.S. state of Maryland. He wrote a book called The Book of Lies: Fibs, Tales, Schemes, Scams, Fakes, and Frauds That Have Changed The Course of History and Affect Our Daily Lives. Mr Goldberg said in his book that the average person lies about 200 times a day. According to a poll conducted by London's Science Museum, a normal lie for a man is, "I didn't drink that much" and for a woman it is, "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine". A survey from the Gallup market research group found that nurses are the most honest people, while sales people and politicians are the biggest liars. Every Honesty Day, Mr Goldberg hands out awards to honest companies and organizations.
