Aha, so you're good at flattering and fawning. Honestly speaking, Mary is only a little beautiful woman. She looks pretty in one way, but looks mediocre even ugly in another.

Initially I did write as "make it sound native". I felt it was "ambiguous", so I added "English" there. Very Happy

Thank you.
