Americans often say “Thank you” after they receive compliments
and add a sentence or two which can lead into a conversation
For example:
First friend: I like your earrings
Second friend: Thanks, I got them in Mexico last year
Boss: The report you wrote is great It has all the
information I need
Employee: Thank you I hope you have everything you need
to start the project

Even when some Americans disagree with a compliment, they will
often say “Thanks” and add a sentence or two For example:
Guest: The cake is delicious
Host: Thanks, but it didn’t turn out exactly right
One of the reasons Americans seem to compliment frequently is
to start a conversation The following is an example of a
compliment that quickly turns into a conversation
Sara: I like your table
Mark: Thanks I made it myself
Sara: Really? I didn’t know that you work with wood
Trang 5Mark: I’ve been doing this for the past year
Sara: Did you take a class in woodworking?
Mark: No, I taught myself from books
Sara: That’s great!
