One day I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, "You speak very good Eng?lish.”But the girl answered, "No,no. My English is very poor. " The foreigner was quite 11 at the answer. Thinking he had not made 12 under?stood or the girl had not 13 him clearly,he said,"Yes,indeed,you speak very well.”14 the girl still kept saying, "No." In the end,the American boy could not understand and didn't know 15 to say.
What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 16 a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer "Thank you" instead of "No". She 17 under?stood what the American boy had said,but she thought she should be modest (谦虚的) .In the 18 ,people will feel proud and 19 when they are praised (表扬) .So if someone says the 20 you have cooked are delicious,you should say "Thank you".

If you often say " No", you will certainly be looked down upon by 24 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 25 to get it. So in the West,you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
