Today’s class challenge is to give one compliment. It must be honest and specific.
Hana tells Jun, “I noticed your poster. The large title made it easy to read.”
Jun smiles. “Thank you. I made an effort to improve it.”
He feels proud, but he also knows he can learn more. Kind words are useful when they describe real work or care. We can also learn to receive praise. A simple “thank you” is enough. Good praise sees more than talent; it sees the process.

今天的班级挑战是夸奖一个人，而且要真诚、具体。
Hana 对 Jun 说：“我注意到了你的海报。标题字很大，让人一眼就能读清楚。”
Jun 笑了。“谢谢。我花了心思把它改得更好。”
他感到自豪，也知道自己还能继续学习。善意的夸奖如果指出真实的努力和用心，就更有价值。我们也可以练习接受赞美，一句简单的‘谢谢’就够了。好的夸奖不只看到天分，也看到付出的过程。
