  21. Modesty in Chinese culture

  22. Modesty in China • Chinese focus on the contribution of the individual to social harmony and improvement. • They are duty-oriented people who work hard to fulfill responsibilities to family, community, work group, society and country. 

  23. Decision making in China is based on gathering consensus and the final decision is made by the leader of the group after all range of views are considered. • In the Chinese language, the word for “self” carries a negative connotation which is similar to selfishness in interpretation.

  24. Traditionally the Chinese people do not like to show a high opinion of their own merits. • Instead they are always modest about their achievements, or prefer a low-key statement to a display of their advantages.

  25. When you praised a Chinese person, he may humbly tell you how deficient he is. Therefore the Chinese reply "nǎlǐ, nǎlǐ" (well, it is nothing) to any complimentary remarks may not be interpreted as a denial of the truth. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqdtTDklhZ8

  26. However grateful they are they may not verbalize their thanks, or they will be considered to be insufferable people. • Nowadays some people, especially young and educated Chinese, like to follow the English way and thank admirers for their compliments.

  27. Teacher’s Expectation • Review ALL initials • Practice asking and answering names (formal and informal ways)
