4 总结
Is complete honesty a useful virtue for a politician to succeed in his or her leadership? The speaker contends it is not, for the reason that we cannot expect and effective leader to be forthright all the time. I concede the speaker's view in some respects; nevertheless, when it comes to a constant and effective leadership in the long run, I hold that the would-be political leaders should maintain a high level of moral and ethical standards.
To begin with, I turn my agreement with the speaker insofar as an good and effective political leader should hold some information back from the public as possible as he could. I just illustrate my point in the two aspects as follow. One the one hand, it is helpful and even necessary for an effective political leader to withhold some top secrets of the country. Consider, for instance, if some superior officials in the American federal government disclose the important plans of attacking one terrorism organization, they would fail in this justice action. Nevertheless, if the political leader keeps some significant information which is essentially relevant to the general's lives from the public, the fundament of the country's democracy would be swayed. Take the panic of Bird Flu as an example, it is some political leaders who withhold the spread of the decease which should be disclose in public that caused the panic of the general people, as a consequence, they lost the residents' reliance on them.
On the other hand, on the individual layer, we cannot expect a political leader to expose all his private affairs to the public because the nature of politics is born with some degree of dishonesty-in other words, the undue disclosure of their private affairs would lead the political leader to be vulnerable. The overdue exposure in the political game, would be consider as the naivete and even the unwise behavior for a politician's opponents will take advantage of their privacies to attack him or her and perhaps beat the political leader in the reelection. However, a sagacious political leader should proclaim his or her political position, ideas and the up-coming policies to the public. It is responsible and beneficial for an foresight politician to demonstrate the effective services of his or her political measures to improve the living conditions of the citizens. When Hillary run a competition of the election of the mayor in New York, every resident was inspire by her public speech of her policies to ameliorate women's social status and children's educations.
In addition, a successful political leader should keep a high level of moral and ethical standards if he or she expects to maintain the leadership for the long term. Admittedly, the rhetoric or even some degree of ingenuousness may lead a potential candidate won the political power or main the leadership for a political leader in the short term, nonetheless, the cheating behavior would ultimately diminish their leadership. Consider Richard Nixon, whose cheating behaviors betrayed his ambition without the political frankness and even the high morality and ethnics, consequently forfeit his leadership. Thus, an effective leader, if he or she wants to maintain his or her leadership and contribute to the society consistently, he should keep a high quality of morality and ethnics as possible as he or she could. We all know that, it is that virtues that made Gandhi and Martin Luther King both the respect and admired social politicians in common people's eyes.
To sum up, as discussed above, I concede the speaker's allegation with respect to the information which are tremendously relative to the safety of the country should be withheld by an effective leader, and he or she should also hide his or her private affairs from the public for maintain the current leadership or winning an election. However, when it comes to a long run for politicians to win their reputations and respect from the public, they should keep a high level of morality and ethics and face the public honestly and confidently.作者: jingjingtous 时间: 2006-1-29 22:08:39

To begin with, I turn my agreement with the speaker insofar as an good and effective political leader should hold some information backhold back学习ing from the public as possible as he could. I just illustrate my point in the two aspects as follow恩，不错的举例说法，学习ing. OneOn the one hand, it is helpful and even necessary for an effective political leader to withhold some top secrets of the country. Consider, for instance, if some superior officials in the American federal government disclose the important plans of attacking one terrorism organization, they would fail in this justice action. Nevertheless,总觉得在这里转折不妥 if the political leader keeps some significant information which is essentially relevant to the general's lives from the public, the fundament of the country's democracy would be swayed. Take the panic of Bird Flu as an example, it is some political leaders who withhold the spread of the decease which should be disclose in public that caused the panic of the general people, andas a consequence, they lost the residents' reliance on them. residents’reliance等于你前面提到的democracy么？似乎有点不太一致
On the other hand, on the individual layer, we cannot expect a political leader to expose all his private affairs to the public because the nature of似乎是the politics is born with…而不是the nature is born吧？ politics is born with some degree of dishonesty-in other words, the undue disclosure of their private affairs would lead the political leader to be vulnerable. The overdue这个词不是过度不适当的意思阿？ exposure in the political game, would be consider as the naivete and even the unwise behavior for a politician's opponents will take advantage of their privacies to attack him or her为什么不用them呢？ and perhaps beat the political leader in the reelection. However又转折，还不如把这两段改一下，把两个同意dishonesty的放在一起，把两个转折的放在一起，逻辑上会更好一些, a sagacious political leader should proclaimdisclosure, exposure换了好几个同义词了，好噢！ his or her political position, ideas and the up-coming policies to the public. It is responsible and beneficial for an foresight politician to demonstrate the effective services of his or her political measures to improve the living conditions of the citizens. When Hillary？ run a competition of the election of the mayor in New York, every resident was inspire by her public speech of her policies to ameliorate women's social status and children's educations.举完例子再来个therefore之类说一下更好
In addition, a successful political leader should keep a high level of moral and ethical standards if he or she expects to maintain the leadership for the long term. Admittedly, the rhetoric or even some degree of ingenuousness是坦白的意思啊 may lead a potential candidate won the political power or main the leadership for a political leader in the short term, nonetheless, the cheating behavior would ultimately diminish their leadership. Consider Richard Nixon, whose cheating behaviors betrayed his ambition without the political frankness and even the high morality and ethnics, consequently forfeit his leadership. Thus, an effective leader, if he or she wants to maintain his or her leadership and contribute to the society consistently, he should keep a high quality of morality and ethnics as possible as he or she could. We all know that, it is that virtues that made Gandhi恩恩，好例子 and Martin Luther King both the respect and admired social politicians in common people's eyes.正反举例，论述充分，赞！！
To sum up, as discussed above, I concede the speaker's allegation with respect to the information which are tremendously relative to the safety of the country should be withheld by an effective leader, and he or she should also hide his or her private affairs from the public for maintain the current leadership or winning an election. However, when it comes to a long run for politicians to win their reputations and respect from the public, they should keep a high level of morality and ethics and face the public honestly and confidently.结尾把文章大意又简述了一遍，有点罗嗦复杂的嫌疑，有待改进
谢谢小别的砖头，改的好认真哪，我汗! 以下是俺的修改：
1 Nevertheless,总觉得在这里转折不妥
恩，我当时也觉得，用furthermore, what is more, otherwise 都比它好
2 the nature of似乎是the politics is born with…而不是the nature is born吧？
对，应该是politics is born with the nature of some degree of hishonesty....我表达错误
3 overdue这个词不是过度不适当的意思阿？
my stupid mistake我以为是undue 的意思，谁知一查是“迟到的”，晕，用excersive
4 him or her为什么不用them呢？
其实很想用的
5 However又转折，还不如把这两段改一下，把两个同意dishonesty的放在一起，把两个转折的放在一起，逻辑上会更好一些,
可能是受某些范文的影响，1正反；2 正反
6 ingenuousness是坦白的意思啊
老大，我又错了，是disingenuousness
