Me in the Eyes of other People
       What kind of person I am in the eyes of other people? That is a question. To be frank, that is really a confusing question to answer, because I do not know. I am not other people, so how could I be aware of their thoughts? Obviously, I can not go to ask other people directly about it, for even I did, all I would get is a pile of beautiful lies. As we all know that Chinese would like to hear the fake compliments rather than the harsh truth.
       However, as a sensitive girl who has lived more than two decades in this world, I believe I have collected some information from other people’s words and reactions, which are enough to answer the question.
       First, I am a humorous person. Although many people have said so, I believe it is true. For many times, a full room of classmates burst into laughter because of my words. Once a friend even begged me to stop talking or the laughing would kill her. Then I just watched her holding her stomach until she was out of breath, I was wondering in my mind—is that really so funny?
       Second, I am a directly-speaking person. And for which my mother has criticized me for many times:“Think before you speak!” Some close friends have told me that some of my words did hurt them and break their hearts, but they knew that I did not mean it. There were some classmates even encouraged me to take part in a debate so that I could win by throwing the opponent hot questions that he could not hold. It seems I really offended some people while I did not realize that at all.
       Third, I am a bad-tempered person. As for this point, my younger sister and brother know it better than anyone else. They are all afraid of me, even my 4-year-old brother will behave himself whenever I am at home. One day, he told me in face that he wished me to stay at school rather than at home. Well, his direct words made me want to beat again!
       All in all, I am a person that other people both love and hate. I guess.

思路不错，时态的使用也基本正确，请继续努力，但表达上还是略有不足，用词略显简单，句式的变化也欠缺些，请平时多积累些。“Chinese would like to hear the fake compliments rather than the harsh truth.”我们也可以用suppress the truth，“a sensitive girl who has lived more than two decades in this world”，二十年其实也不算长……你懂的……，三个例子可能也是由于篇幅的关系，每个都不是很具体，点到为止的感觉，如果加入更多的细节会更好，“I am a directly-speaking person”，一般我们会说straightforward，或者略贬义的会用reckless和implusive。
