Hello! I'm Tatsuya Takarabe(M5).
ReplyDeleteI would like to answer the question 1.
First of all,I would be doubtful about it.
I would say to them that Oh,really? why did you think that? I think that you might not feel good on my English. You might flatter me.
Because I don't feel confident of my English.
That's all.See you next time.
Hello! I'm Masumi Horie.
ReplyDeleteI would like to answer the question, 1.
When someone says, "Your English is really good!",I feel very happy, but suspect this is flattery because my English is really poor!So,I say to them that"Thank you,but your English is better than mine,so your English is really really good!"
Hi,Matt!
ReplyDeleteI'm Saki Takahashi.
I'd like to answer the question 3.
For example,
my mom cuts her hair and likes it.
Then she asks me "What do you think?" with smile,
but I don't think it suits her very much.
However, I don't want to hurt her
because she likes new hair style very much.
So I'll say "Yeah,it looks very nice!"
Like this,I give someone compliments
when I want them to feel good or
I don't want to depress them with my words.
That's all:)
See you next week!

Hello,Matt!

I would like to answer the question 2.
I have a friend who is too lean.
He always says that he cannot put on weight ,though he eats so much!
The other day,I said to him"oh,you're looking fatter!" ,even if I do not think so.
I think it is important to praise a hard worker,because he or she can feel more motivated.
See you soon!

Hi,I'm Chie Kobayashi.
ReplyDeleteI would like to answer the question 1.
When my friends say that my English is very good, maybe I don't think that they say true thing. Because I have no confidence in my English ability.
But when my English teachers say so, I'm very happy.
I think it is importannt that who say the praise.
See you tomorrow!
Hi,I'm Haruka Tsuchida.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to answer the question3.
When my friends wear new clothes, I'd say "Oh,I love your clothes!"
Also, when they get hair cut, I'd say "oh, you look prettier than before!"
I mean, I'd give complements when I find something new about them. When people show something new about ourselves,sometimes they feel nervous because they care others' feelings,so I'd use conplements because complements make them feel confident.
