Model Essay(范文)：
Although honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor are all worthwhilecharacteristics, I feel the most important one in life to have is sensitivity. A sensitiveperson is aware of him/herself and the way their actions affect others. A sensitive personknows the place of honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor.
Honesty is not always the best policy. There is such a thing as a white lie. You don't want toinsult someone by saying that their new dress doesn't fit properly or that you wouldn't live intheir new house if they paid you. You must be sensitive to when it is necessary to tell the truthand when it is better to tell a white lie.
Intelligence is a wonderful thing to have, but not all intelligent people use theirintelligence sensitively. You don't want to show off and make others feel stupid. You must besensitive to the reactions of the people around you. It might be appropriate for you to admitthat you have the right answer, but in some cases, you might have to say, “I think this is theanswer, but we might want to check it.” A sensitive person would not make someone elselook dumb.
A sense of humor is always valued. Different people, however, laugh at different things. Youdon't want to make someone feel uncomfortable by laughing at his /her mistakes. Asensitive person would understand whether a person could be teased or whether a personwould appreciate a certain joke.
A sensitive person would make everyone feel comfortable. A sensitive person understandsthat people are different and that the values of honesty, intelligence and humor can beapplied differently.
