你好！在一个听力的问题，一个人说 (in a listening exercise, a men says this sentence)，“你最近在学校的表现怎么样？” 我应该选择一个合适的回答，在书上这是对的回答 (and then I should choose the right answer among many.

Answer

还算可以 means that's okay,the main meaning is 'just so so'

Answer

It means that's okay.
well, there is another word in Chinese to express the same meaning 差强人意(means something can make sb satisfied in a way)

Answer

it sounds right to me.

A: 你最近在学校的表现怎么样？ (How are you doing in school lately?)
B: 还算可以
还算可以 is a phrase which means "its ok" or simply "ok", you could also say 还算行 / 还可以 / 一般 / 还不错, all share the same meaning.

Answer

the question -- how? 怎么样?
the answer -- quite fine  还  算  可以
what confuses you is probably the meaning of 可以 = can
but
here it's "can" as "a way to go" = "fine" = "quite all right"

Answer

perfect I understood! you gave me perfectly the idea!谢谢！:)
