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 __1__ at the answer.Thinking he had not made __2__ understood or the girl had not __3__ him clearly,he said,“Yes,indeed,you speak very well.”__4__ the girl still kept saying,“No.”In the end,the American boy could not understand and didn't know __5__ to say.
What's wrong with the girl's answer?She didn't __6__ a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do.She should answer,“Thank you” instead of “No”.She __7__ understood what the American boy had said,but she thought she should be modest (谦虚的).In the __8__,people will feel proud and __9__ when they are praised (表扬).So if someone says the __10__ you have cooked are very delicious,you should say,“Thank you.”
