hi everyone this is sema and in today's
lesson i am going to talk about
giving and receiving compliments
well the fact is that
every single day we have to receive
compliments and we have to give
compliments
but most of us in non-native
english-speaking countries
we have this habit of just saying
you look good
and we respond with a thank you
and
that is the end of the conversation
well those are really basic ways of
giving and receiving compliments but in
today's lesson i'm gonna show you
how to complement people
like a native english speaker
like a total pro okay so let's see what
are the compliments we can generally
give
now
a lot of times we have to compliment
people for the clothes that they are
wearing right a lot of times you wear a
pretty dress
or a really smart outfit and you want to
receive and maybe give compliments what
do you say
you could say i love what you're wearing
right that's a really nice thing to say
or
you could opt for this one which says
it looks good on you
you know the truth is that some clothes
look good on us maybe not on other
people so this is a really good
compliment
or you could say
you really know how to rock that outfit
right like some people they really have
this amazing personality and whatever
they wear
they know how to carry that off
that's when you say
you really know how to rock that outfit
or you could opt for
something really nice and formal by
saying
you really carry it well
like i said it's your personality which
makes you look so good in the clothes
that you're wearing and that is why
you really know how to carry it well
of course there are times like i said
you have to be the person who is getting
the compliment
and you have to respond to it what do
you say
you say
really
thank you or really
thanks
you could also say that's so kind of you
now a person who is giving you
compliments
i think they are very kind so
it's the best thing to say that's really
kind
or you could say you totally made my day
do you know sometimes when you get a
compliment
it really makes you so happy that your
entire day seems to be
going so well just because of the
compliment and that's when you can say
you totally made my day
now sometimes people
compliment you on your skills
or your abilities they could be athletic
abilities your singing abilities
anything really
what do you say
wow
you are so natural
or you could say you are totally gifted
or you are gifted with that
you are blessed with the best of the
best that's true some of us are really
blessed with our natural abilities
and then you could also say it's magical
to watch you code if you're good at
coding or it's magical to watch your
dance or it's magical to watch you sing
you can replace this with any skill that
you are complimenting someone with to
which you will respond
thanks for those kind words like i said
compliments are kind so you want to
thank them
or you could say i feel really grateful
thank you
or you could say
really i thought it was normal to do
that you know a lot of people sometimes
don't realize how gifted they are and
they think that their
skills are really normal but it's not so
you could use any of these ways
to reply to the compliment
okay but sometimes
you may have other kinds of compliments
like maybe for
your haircut like you had a nice haircut
and you look nice or maybe just
generally for the way you look okay your
appearance
what do you say then
you can say
you look so different in a nice way of
course now the word different
is kind of like a very slippery slope
because different could be
like a weird different or a nice
different so make sure you specify in a
nice way of course
or you could say
hey this haircut or this cut
accentuates your features
now a lot of times
your haircut can really bring out your
facial features and make you look more
appealing so let's say if you've got
nice high cheek bones
a certain haircut could make it look
more prominent and that's when you say
your haircut
accentuates or really shows up your
features
or you could say
this cut is doing
wonders to your face it's kind of a
variation of this
phrase but i think you could use either
of them
or you could also say
that's something new
you look so different okay
you look so different so
maybe you've never seen somebody with
a new haircut or maybe the makeup that
they've worn
has never
you've never seen them do that before
that's when you can say that's something
different that's something new so you
look so different
of course you have to respond to this so
what do you say you can say thanks
i wanted to try something new that's a
nice way of appreciating that comment
or you could say i totally appreciate
that
i totally appreciate that
or you could say
thanks i'm glad it turned out the way it
did what does that mean i'm glad the
haircut or the makeup i wore
really ended up looking as good as i
wanted it to because sometimes let me
tell you all haircuts don't end up
looking really well but i'm glad it did
okay all right a different kind of
compliment where sometimes you need to
compliment people for a good choice
in maybe books
or in movies
i read a lot of books i read a lot of
movies
but sometimes i get compliments
sometimes i don't
so what do you compliment people you say
you have a great taste
in movies and
books taste is another
word for a great choice okay so choice
and taste really mean the same thing
you could also say
you seem to have an eye for the best
okay so there are some people who really
seem to choose good things
why because they have an eye for the
best
some people also say
i must say
that's a great playlist right so a lot
of people they tend to listen to such
amazing music
that's when you can say
this to them
some people also say
you can tell a lot about someone
by their taste that's a great compliment
because you're indirectly telling them
that
they have a good taste so they are
really good people are really cultured
people okay so this is a really good
compliment to give use it
but if you are at the receiving end of
the compliment what do you say you can
say
thanks my parents got me interested in
reading or possibly in music which is
actually true in my case because my
parents got me interested in reading
or you could simply say hey i appreciate
that without the d i appreciate that
or you could say
i can't imagine reading or
watching
anything else okay you don't want to use
the two you could simply say i can't
imagine reading or watching anything
else which means that that is the best
thing that you are always going to be
watching or reading okay well i hope you
use all these compliments when you have
to give them and i hope you are also
ready to respond to them appropriately
and end up sounding like a nice natural
english speaker okay use them and tell
me what is your best compliment and what
you are going to be using i'll be back
with some more lessons until then this
is me saying
keep practicing and go on compliment as
much as you can
take care bye
