Question

Thinking he had not made himself 3 or the student had not heard him clearly,he said,“yes,indeed,you speak it very well”. But the Chinese student  still  4 saying “ No ”.  5        ， the foreigner gave up and didn’t know 6      say. Why does it happen?  It’s  7      the differences of  ,

two cultures. In the west,one should have self--confidence and show himself or herself completely. If  8      says to a woman, “ you look 9      beautiful with the new clothes on. ” She must be very happy with a quick answer “ thank you ”. But 10      our Chinese country,modest is good while showing off is a bad manner.
