Questions Q: What kinds of people become famous? I think those people who are beautiful and outgoing will become famous easily. Obviously, there is a truth that a handsome man or a beautiful woman is much admired in society. Because most people, even very smart ones, like to appreciate beautiful things. Apart from beauty, an outgoing personality is important for people to become famous. To be famous means you will be known by many people. In other words, you have to show yourself without shyness and try your best to get attentions from other people. Q: What kinds of people do you think should become famous? I think people, like Yo-Yo Ma, should become famous. He is an artist, and his artistic attainments have been reached world-class level. He has been invited by American president to perform in the White House. Furthermore, he is also very nice. Now he is quite famous in America, but not everyone knows him in China. So I think people who have extraordinary ability and good personality should be known by everyone. Q: What responsibility to society do famous people have? I think famous people should take great responsibility to society. They have so much influence and authority over people, so they should pay more attentions to their behaviors, and act as role models, instead of giving negative impacts to society. For example, if a famous actor didn't pay attention to his behaviors, it’s easy for children to copy them and use them in their life. So, I think famous people are not just to be part of entertainment, but set up a positive effect to society. Q: Is your neighborhood noisy or quiet? My neighborhood used to be very quiet. However, these days, it became quite noisy, because of a neighbor living upstairs. They have two little boys, who make noisy every morning. They strike the floor and play basketball at home. It’s so annoying. I can’t have a good rest since they moved into our building. Actually, I told their parents about the noisy, but it seems doesn't work. I can’t endure the noise that they create all the time, but I can't do anything about it.

Your English is very advanced! I have made important corrections in red. The blue lines are ones that are technically correct but very uncommon; they sound strange to the native speaker. For these, I have suggested alternate phrasing.
