Sketch 1
The confused teacher
Susan is a teacher from London who comes to a small town in Viet Nam to teach English. She has her first lesson today and is very impressed by one of her students – Lien. Lien speaks English very well and is very active in the class. Later that day Susan runs into Lien in the corridor. Susan wants to compliment Lien and she says, ‘Lien, your English is excellent!’. And Lien answers ‘No it’s very bad!’ Susan feels rather confused and she doesn’t know why Lien responds to her this way.
Communication breakdown = cultural differences
In Viet Nam it is typical to deny the compliments you receive. This is a way to show your modesty. However, in western cultures, people who give compliments often expect you to take about them, and denial of compliments, especially if it is repeated, may be rude and make the other person feel uncomfortable. In this situation, Lien may just politely thank her teacher.
