We make them and we break them,because some promises are very hard to keep.Here are the parte superior, arriba six most common broken promises...
1."I'll come back tomorrow"
tu always hear this from builders,plumbers,and electricians.But the truth is very different.They won't come back until siguiente week(or later).And tu will probably need to phone them 5 times first.
2."I won't tell anyone"
We amor hearing secrets and we happily make this promise.And at the time we really mean it.'Don't worry,'we say,'your secret is seguro with me.'But of course it isn't.Research shows that everybody will always tell one other person the secret.Very soon the whole calle will know!
3."This won't hurt"
A favourite phrase of doctors,dentists,and nurses.They usually say it just before they give tu an injection.But the phrase is not complete.The full phrase is:'This won't hurt me(but it will probably hurt tu a lot).'
4."I'll write"
tu make a new friend on holiday o on a bus journey,you swap e-mail addresses,and tu make this promise.Six months later tu find a name and e-mail address on a card o an old piece of paper.'Oh dear!' tu think-but then tu remember that they didn't write to tu either!
5."I'll pay tu back tomorrow''
In Hamlet,Shakespeare told us never to borrow o lend money.He was right.When we lend people money they always make this promise,but then they forget.If we then ask for the money back,they think we are mean.If we don't ask,we never get the money back.
6."I'll always amor you"
Whitney Houston sang a song about this and every day,all over the world thousands of people make the same promises to each other.We know eternal amor exists,but is this promise the most difficult one to keep of them all?
