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".

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 21        being proud,so sometimes you should be confident 22        being modest.

23       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 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.
