The truth about telling lies
Leonard Saxe, Ph.D., a psychology expert at Brandeis University, thinks that telling lies has been a part of everyday life for a long time. Yet it is only recently that it has become a topic for discussion among psychologists. Before that, lies were mainly things that religious leaders were concerned about. As psychologists look more closely at how honest we are, they are discovering that it is surprisingly common to tell lies. In 1996, Bella DePaulo, PhD., a psychologist at the University of Virginia, studied 147 people between the ages of 18 and 71 who had to keep a diary of all the lies they told over a period of a week. The results showed that most people told lies once or twice a day and that some types of relationships involve more lies than others. More untruths were told between teenagers and parents than between complete strangers. Though some lies can cause problems between people, others may actually make it easier for people to get on well. In DePaulo's group, one in every four of the lies were told to make another person feel better. In fact, lies in which people say they like someone or something more than they actually do ("Your cakes are the best") are about 10 to 20 times more common than lies in which people say they like someone less than they really do. When the researchers counted the lies, they didn't include the everyday, polite lies we say to each other, such as "I'm fine, thanks," when actually we don't feel well, or "No trouble at all," when really we are a bit annoyed.

How to study – online or in the classroom?
Some people prefer the traditional way of learning – in a classroom, with a teacher and other students. However, more people are turning to studying online. Gonzalo Lopez, who wanted to study business in English, was one of these. His first course was in a classroom, but he realised it might take longer to progress than he thought at first. He couldn’t afford to stay at college and so, having good IT skills, he began an online course. Gonzalo says his online teacher was good, but he doesn’t think studying on your own is as enjoyable as being with your friends in class. Muneera Farzath has another opinion. Sometimes she got to lessons early or stayed on af ter they finished, because she said it was difficult for her to study with so much happening in the classroom. She didn’t dislike the people in class with her, but says that studying online is more peaceful. Muneera also thinks there are advantages to studying alone with a teacher who has got time just for you. She says she’s a slow learner and the teacher has made some suggestions about maybe buying apps that would help her. After three months studying online, Gonzalo Lopez returned to study at college. Although he had thought the online and college courses were similar, Gonzalo, who is Spanish, found it difficult to study online in English. In the classroom, with English students, it was easier. My personal experience is of studying Arabic in a classroom and online. And I can see the advantages and disadvantages of each type of course. If it’s possible for you, I’d recommend doing a bit of both. If you do this, you’ll have the best chance of success.
