☆ modest　謙虚な
============================
In Western culture, individual achievement and success is prized more than having a modest personality. However, if you say that someone is modest, it is meant as a compliment. How about in Japan, is it a compliment to be called a modest person? Here are some example sentences:
He’s modest as well as being a great player.
She is modest about all her achievements.
My classmate is always modest about his abilities even though he scores well on every test.
He was wealthy but modest.
She was too modest to buy the short skirt and chose a longer one instead.
Can you create a sentence using modest?
Bye,
