As an old English saying goes, “honesty is the best policy”. It is more than an old cliché（陈词滥调）, but   good way to live your life.
First, honesty is the    (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.
Second, honesty gives us much     (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people    (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are      (true) free.
If there were two people    (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person    is known to be dishonest, who would you be more likely  (believe)? I’m sure most people would side with the honest person.     we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us in nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is      (you). What will you choose?
