Tanaka is a Japanese exchange student in a United States' university. He had the following conversation with his chemistry professor, Mr. Smith, one day after class.

"How are things going, Tanaka?" asked Prof. Smith. "Things are going well, Prof Smith", answered Tanaka with eyes cast down. "Are you sure?" Prof. Smith asked unconvinced. Perplexed by Prof. Smith's concern, Tanaka replied with eyes still cast down, "Professor Smith, I am quite sure, everything is fine." "Well, you are so quiet in class; I thought perhaps you did not understand the lesson."
