2/3 Contrary to his judgment, the Vietnamese student was not attempting to “force something” she was incapable of doing. Instead, she spontaneously expressed her thoughts — shaped by her two academic subjects — without being excessively hindered by a language barrier. Grammatically, she used nearly perfect inflexion, employed linguistic tools such as complements, infinitive constructions, and a wide range of connectors, and was fully capable of speaking spontaneously and appropriately about complex topics with highly suitable vocabulary. The second candidate’s question, about a negative experience in Germany, was difficult to answer — especially since the student from Vietnam demonstrated a reflective, mature approach to experiences in general, whether positive or negative. She not only addressed the content of the question but did so in a culturally sensitive (!) and socially intelligent way: she framed the negative experience in terms of her self-perception of her own German language skills. What could more clearly demonstrate an excellent command of language than the ability to express both intercultural tact and a complex personal life situation in an entirely appropriate and comprehensible manner?

Many of us have a preferred way of dealing with conflict. However, the way you respond to conflict should depend on the situation. So, take time to consider the situation and decide on the best way of dealing with that conflict. Giving in: You’re probably right. I’m happy to do it your way. Avoiding: I’d prefer not to talk about this now. I’ll leave it to you to decide. Forcing: Let me tell you how this made me feel. This is what I think we should do… Compromising: If I (do this) can you (do this)? I’m happy to agree on (this) if you can (do that). Working together: I’d like to hear your side of things. What do you think is the best way forward? Follow me for more Everyday English.
