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 surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made ___________understood or the girl had not heard 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 (恭維) 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 confident 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. If 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 others. 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 ____________ getting it. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
