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 _______ at the answer. Thinking he had not made _______ understood or the girl had not _______ 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 _______ praise 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 _______ 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 good and being proud is bad, but in my opinion, being confident does not__________ being proud, so sometimes you should be confident __________ being modest.

__________ 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 __________. 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 __________ get it. So in the West, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
