The topic of the essay is : Is it better to be underrated by people than to be overrated by them?
<So my first sentence starts off with ‘I think’ to show my opinion, but somehow I feel it’s weak.> I think it is better to be underrated by people than to be overrated by them because once you realize you are underrated, it motivates you to work more industriously (I am not sure if I used the word ‘industriously’ right here. I put it to replace “harder”); the rest of the first paragraph is omitted….
People stereotyped me as someone who couldn’t speak much English. I reacted to this by getting high scores in English class and spoke fluent English in front of those people. <Did I use the phrase in blue right? And somehow I feel awkward to say “spoke fluent English in front of those people.>
He underestimates his neighbor Charles’s son Bernard. He thinks Bernard can’t even be compared to his son, so he doesn’t expect that Bernard will become a successful lawyer. <Is there a shorter way to say Bernard can’t be compared to his son? It’s just wordy I guess.>
THanks.
