I've always considered art to be “my thing”, the area where hours transform into the graceful dance of brushes on papers. It was a simple day. I finished my other classes before going to my favorite class—art. My teacher, a beautiful woman who always smiled, assigned our final task of the year: finish a self - portrait(自画像). I hadn't done one since second grade. This was going to be an interesting challenge.

I looked through my photo albums as soon as I returned home. The first picture I found was me in 7th grade. Hmm, my teeth looked a little strange. The next picture was me with my friend. Ugh, there was a giant dot on my cheek. The third picture was me with my little sister. What was my hair doing? I decided I couldn't use any of these photographs.

I went to my room and pulled up my mirror, face - to - face with my reflection. I started with the outline. First, I captured(捕捉) the shape of my face. I settled on some odd mixture between oval(椭圆) and circle(圆). Then, I continued sketching(素描) the eyes, nose, mouth, ears and finally my hair. The outline took a while because I wanted it to be beautiful. Then I worked on the actual painting process for a few days, making sure every detail was perfect. Finally, I finished it a week early.

I presented it to my teacher, who looked over it and sighed, “But we need to discuss the criteria of a self - portrait. See, you've not captured your unique features, changing your face into something similar to a fictional character.” She then gave me two options: submit this painting and lose points for not following the criteria, or do it again, but this time completing a real self - portrait.

Paragraph 1:
After arriving home, I looked in the mirror again.
Paragraph 2:
When I submitted the updated portrait, my teacher smiled and proposed to show it at an exhibition.

答案： One possible version
Paragraph 1:
After arriving home, I looked in the mirror again. I captured my own features carefully, studied standards of a model face and questioned how I could draw myself perfectly.(动作和心理描写) In the following days, when I wanted to quit, the teacher’s words were of great importance to me. I’d like to win her recognition. Therefore, I spent every moment staring into the mirror and every brush urged me to pay attention to what I looked like. I pushed myself and eventually finished it.
Paragraph 2:
When I submitted the updated portrait, my teacher smiled and proposed to show it at an exhibition. “Wonderful! This is what I want. A true self - portrait means you need to grasp what you really are!”(语言描写) she said, awarding me an A. I agreed to display it in a quiet hallway corner. I know my work wasn’t the best, and even had some negative judgements. However, I believed that this portrait was better than the first. It convinced me that we all should face the challenges and resist the wrong view that prevented us from appreciating the beauty around and within. (心理描写)
