And explain how you felt about not telling this friend the truth.
该话题参考文本
When mentioning a time when I didn’t tell a friend the truth, it reminds me of a funny story that happened on April Fools’ Day last year. We all know that April Fools’ Day is a holiday full of fun as we celebrate the day just by looking for any opportunity we can to play an elaborate prank on our friends. A lot of the time, the pranks involve telling somebody something outrageous or false and if they’re gullible enough to believe it, we can say “April fools” to let them know that they’re been had by the prank.
So last year, on April Fools’ Day, I was trying to fool my best friend Lisa with a quiz game. The quiz was quite simple, “Are there any penguins in the world that can actually fly?”. And the rule was if she could answer it correctly, I would pay her 100 RMB. If she failed, she needed to pay me 100 RMB. Certainly the answer is no and her answer was no as well. But I told her that her answer was false and showed her the trailer from the BBC explaining the discovery of flying penguins in Antarctica. My friend’s jaw dropped and she gave me 100 RMB reluctantly. I couldn’t help laughing when I got the money and then told my friend it was a joke, the trailer was fake news created by the BBC itself to fool all the audience on April Fools’ Day in 2008.
