just review the vocabulary I 've learned the day before yesterday
Somebody like to say: call a spared a spared . In China, we can't do it at all because people never say anything directly. So everyone live with mask. Definitely, everybody have their secret behind closed door. But why can't they show their true heart sometimes? It really make me have to guess what they want truly. I am a direct guy so that most of people don't like me.

just review the vocabulary I 've learned the day before yesterday
Somebody like to say: call a spade a spade . In China, we can't do it at all because people never say anything directly. Everyone has to live with mask. Definitely, everybody has their secret behind closed doors. However, why can't they show their true heart sometimes? Because of this, I often have to guess what people really want. I am a direct guy, so most people here don't like me.* I corrected some grammar issues, as well as the phrasing.
** I think this problem of understanding is inherent in many Asian cultures. Here in the Philippines, the culture is also to suppress what you mean to say. Here, "Maybe" means "no" because people are always afraid of being thought of as rude. However, there are times you do need to be direct or else you'd be misunderstood. I too am very direct; I don't mince words when it's important. Maybe, it's because of being raised with a European dad. I don't know. Either way, this has also caused me to be called "blunt, sometimes "rude". Oh well !
