问题描述:
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 16 at the answer. Thinking he had not made 17 understood or t he girl had not 18 him clearly, he said , “ Yes , indeed, you speak very well.” 19 the girl still kept saying , “ No.” In the end the American boy could not understand and didn’t know 20 to say.
What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t 21 a compliment ( 恭维)in the same way as the American people do . She should answer , “ Thank you” instead of “ No” . She 22 understood what the American boy had said, but she thought she should be modest. In the 23 , people will feel proud and 24 when they are praised . So if someone says the 25 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 26 being proud , so sometimes you should be confident 27 being modest.
28 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 29 . 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 30 get it . So in the west , you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
