Lee was a former student of mine who was from South Korea. On one occasion, I remember returning graded exams to the class, and when I handed Lee his exam his faced contorted into an expression of 'disgust and anger'. Lee earned a 92% on that exam, so I was confused by his emotional expression. Identify and discuss two reasons why/how I might have decoded his facial expressions inaccurately. Would Lee attribute the 92% to internal or external attributes?

Explanation 1:

Facial expression contributes to the message of the person that you are communicating, this way nonverbal cues are connected to the person who you interact with. As connection between teachers and students is strong one way to explain that you know your student and understand how his emotions are regulated by him.

Explanation 2: 

Lee must be an achiever and when he discovered that he got 92% only and not 100% it shows how his emotion translate to his facial reaction.

I think it is internal, because there is a high probability that he is expecting higher grade than having 92% which he knows he did his own test. Internal attributes can be communicated once the environment affects the person and would react in a certain way to be more understood by others.
