One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite ___________ at the answer. Thinking he had not made ___________understood or the girl had not ___________ him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” ___________ the girl still kept saying, “No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know ___________ to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t ___________ a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ___________ understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the___________ , people will feel proud and ___________ when they are praised . So if someone says the___________ you have cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.”
In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德) and being proud is a bad thing , but in my opinion, being confident does not ___________ being proud, so sometimes you should be confident ___________ being modest.
___________ you are modest and say, “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it well”, while working in a western country, the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by___________ . When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will___________ get it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
