Can youreally tell if a kid is lying?

其實我很喜歡幽默風趣的簡報，應該說誰不喜歡

往往在公務機關的簡報，都是"硬梆梆"的…@@上禮拜為工程處的同仁實施105年的教育訓練，講述有關氣象預報與防災，換一個比較風趣的方式來講述，也引起很大的共鳴，至少大家願意聽你的分享。

接下來就進入主題吧，這次挑選的主題是有關我們對小孩說謊這件事情的認知，相信大家小時候肯定有說謊的經驗，感覺很刺激、很害怕被發現、內心的掙扎...如文中開門見山就提到的成年人對於小孩說謊的認知，我覺得很有道哩，這幾句英語，我覺得也非常實用，可以視各種情境去變化

A.原講稿"Sums up very nicely three common beliefs we have about children and lying. One, children only come to tell lies after entering elementary school. Two, children are poor liars. We adults can easily detect their lies. And three, if children lie at a very young age, there must be some character flaws with them, and they are going to become pathological liars for life. Well, it turns out all of the three beliefs are wrong."

Sums up very nicely three common beliefs we have about children and lying.

One, ……

Two, ……

And three, ……

Well, it turns out all of the three beliefs are wrong.

這是很常用的句型我肯定要背一下的啦~~

 

B.原講稿"We found that regardless of gender, country, religion, at two years of age, 30 percent lie, 70 percent tell the truth about their transgression. At three years of age, 50 percent lie and 50 percent tell the truth. At four years of age, more than 80 percent lie. And after four years of age, most children lie. So as you can see, lying is really a typical part of development. And some children begin to tell lies as young as two years of age."

這也是幾個很棒的例句，都是我比較常用的句型

 

C.原講稿"In cooking, you need good ingredients to cook good food. And good lying requires two key ingredients. The first key ingredient is theory of mind, or the mind-reading ability. Mind reading is the ability to know that different people have different knowledge about the situation and the ability to differentiate between what I know and what you know. Mind reading is important for lying because the basis of lying is that I knowyou don't know what I know. Therefore, I can lie to you.

The second key ingredient for good lying is self-control. It is the ability to control your speech, your facial expression and your body language, so that you can tell a convincing lie. And we found that those young children who have more advanced mind-reading and self-control abilities tell lies earlier and are more sophisticated liars. As it turns out, these two abilities are also essential for all of us to function well in our society. In fact, deficits in mind-reading and self-control abilities are associated with serious developmental problems, such as ADHD and autism. So if you discover your two-year-old is telling his or her first lie, instead of being alarmed, you should celebrate.

這也是幾個很棒的例句，適合做為前導比喻使用

In cooking, you need good ingredients to cook good food.

Instead of being alarmed, you should celebrate.

上面這句話則適合在做結語時，使用一些反轉的語句，增加活潑度
