Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.

From the time we are very young，we are cautioned to think before we speak. That is good advice if it helps us word our thoughts more clearly. But reflecting on what we are going to say before we say it is not a good idea if doing so causes us to censor our true feelings because others might not like what we say. In fact， if we always worried about others’ reactions before speaking, it is possible none of us would ever say what we truly mean.

Assignment: Should we always think before we speak? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken form your reading, studies, experiences, or observations.
