Hasil gambar untuk COMPLIMENTING CONGRATULATION OTHERS
       Compliments express approval and are aimed at showing that you like some aspect of the other person’s appearance, belonging or work. It is also to appreciate other people, but overuse of compliments might seem insincere.
Whom to Compliment:  
Anyone you have occasion to talk with (friends, family, colleagues, and even strangers)
What to Compliment
  • Notice something new about the person’s appearance: new car, new haircut, a piece of jewellery, etc
  • On a person of his or her general appearance: ‘You look good today’
  • When visiting someone’s house for the first time: ‘What a beautiful house you have.’
  • When hosts prepare a meal for you: ‘The meal was delicious’.
How to Compliment in formal or informal :
  • I would like compliment you on …
  • I think your (hair) is very nice.

Returning Compliment :
