correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
        The smile, which is sometimes mysterious and difficult to understand to the American observer,
is a nonverbal symbol conveying the feeling of respect in Vietnamese culture. It is used as an
expression of apology for a minor offense, for example for being late to class, or as an expression of
embarrassment when making a stupid mistake. For the Vietnamese, the smile is a proper response in
most situations in which verbal expression is not needed or not appropriate. It is used as a replacement
for "I'm sorry", "Thank you" or "Hi!" It is used instead of a ready yes to avoid appearing over-
enthusiastic. A smile is also a proper response to unpleasant words that one does not harbor any ill
feelings toward the speaker or that one sincerely acknowledges the mistake.
        For certain feelings, Vietnamese culture prefers non-verbal communication while American
culture is more likely to use verbal expression. For casual and informal circumstances, feelings of
thankfulness or apology are not expressed by verbal expression such as "thank you" or "I'm sorry" but
by non-verbal, silence or a smile. Parents and teachers never say thanks to their students for a small
service, such as closing the window or passing the books around. A smile will do in this case. The
                                                                                 Trang 2/3 - Mã đề thi 132


person who gives a compliment never expects a "thank you" in return. In Vietnamese culture, a verbal
expression of thanks in this case amounts to a lack of modesty from the person who receives the
compliment.
       A smile is the proper response to a compliment. If a verbal response is necessary, one would
deny the compliment, saying that one does not deserve it. Because of the difference in the mediums
used to express the feelings of appreciation or apology in the two cultures, misunderstandings have
occurred.
