RECEIVING compliments

Do accept compliments with a sincere thank-you.

Compliment: “Your artwork is really cool.”

Instead of this: “Yeah, a lot of people have given me

compliments.”

Say this:

Thank you! That means a lot to me.

Do give credit to a partner or partners if you receive a

compliment on a group project.

Compliment: “What a great project on recycling!”

Instead of this: “Thanks!”

Say this:

Thanks! I did the presentation, but Sophie

and Natalie did most of the writing.

Don’t agree in a bragging way.

Compliment: “Another 100! You’re so smart.”

Instead of this: “Yeah, I think it’s easy to get all A’s.”

Say this:

Thanks. I really like social studies.

Don’t disagree or cut yourself down when receiving a compliment.

Compliment: “Wow! You have an awesome voice.”

Instead of this: “Thanks, but I don’t think I sang that well.”

Say this:

Thank you!

I was nervous

singing my

first solo.
