“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk,the way they smile,the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confident American students,I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor.As a student,being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What's worse,the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
　　Being confident for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches(The course I'm teaching here is public speaking).Modesty is a trait highly valued in China,but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.

“自信”可能是美国人一个最显著的特征.他们在谈话、笑、穿衣以及走路时都展现出信心.在与这些充满自信的美国学生生活和竞争中,我发现作为一名外国留学生和教师,信心非常重要.一个学生具有自信意味着当你灵光一现有了想法时会毫不犹豫地举起手.不管这想法多么简单或愚蠢.否则,你将永远没有在课堂上提问的机会.更糟糕的是,教授可能会认为你准备不足或缺少自己的看法-这是每个毕业的学生都同意的观点.
作为一个外国教练,自信对我意味着平静地要求学生重复他或她所说的但我没听懂的问题.如果你假装知道,那会让你尴尬甚至没面子.但最需要我自信的时候就是我的学生来办公室与我争论我给他们的演讲所打的分数（我课程是公开演讲）.谦虚在中国是很受推崇的,但在一个优秀的美国研究生课程中,它不会有多大帮助.
