1) People tell lies for various reasons. Some people lie to get something they want or get out of trouble. For instance, children may fake a stomachache in order to skip school, or lie about their poor grades for fear of being punished. Some people tell lies because they don't want to upset others. Seldom do we say to our friends that their hairstyle looks awful
or we don't like their gifts. But the worst reason for people to lie is that some people get into the habit of lying.
2) Yes, I consider myself an honest person. Being honest is to be straightforward and tell the truth. I'm up to these standards. I don't tell lies and I'm sincere to other people. I never say things to people if I don't mean it; I never make up things that are not true; I never lie to people in order to get myself out of trouble.
3) Yes, I think signing an Honesty Declaration will effectively prevent cheating in exams. The declaration is a reminder to students that they have promised to do the right thing, and they should keep their promise as an honest person.
No, I don't think so. I doubt the effectiveness of signing an Honesty Declaration, and I don't think it will help promote honest behavior during exams. If students are honest, they will be honest even without signing the declaration. If they are not honest, they will cheat anyway.

4) Yes, I think people who tell white lies are still honest. White lies are harmless and well-meant. We tell white lies not to cheat others or benefit ourselves; instead, we want to make others feel better. It's better to tell a white lie than hurt others' feelings.
No, I don't consider those who tell white lies to be honest. A lie is a lie. Well-meaning or not, if you tell white lies, you are not telling the truth. Being honest benefits everybody, while lying destroys trust among people. I'd rather hear a bad truth than a white lie.
