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 surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made ___________understood or the girl had not heard 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 ___________ a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”.
