Studying in the United States, I feel that China and South Korea are very different. It seems that you can ask them anything, but you can't answer anything, so you have to copy it.

As an international student, the first thing we should do is to strive for progress and surpass others.

Let's start with South Korea.

As a pro-American country, South Korea has a similar lifestyle to the United States. Various high-tech, such as Samsung, Hyundai, Kia and various electronic products, their scientific and technological strength should not be underestimated. ? So they will be more accustomed to the materialism of the United States.

We, from small to large, learn in a slightly different way from them. ? Moreover, the gap between the rich and the poor is large and the population is large. Many friends from China who have just arrived in the United States are not used to life here. But rest assured, no matter which country they come to the United States, the starting point is the same.

Asians in the United States can be divided into two categories: ABC, a native of the United States, and new immigrants who have just arrived from China.

Most native ABC people, like the Koreans you described, often go out for activities, study less, and chat with white and black Americans on an equal footing, with no generation gap.

The new immigrants who have just arrived are mainly due to these difficulties:

The generation gap in language

New immigrants think their language is much worse than that of Americans. I lowered my posture before I started talking, and I was scared when chatting. ? Most importantly, I'm afraid my mind can't keep up with the speed. In fact, chatting abroad, the English level of junior/senior high school in China is more than enough, and the higher is the English of specialized courses and uncommon parts of speech.

Generation gap in chat skills

In the United States, the communication between China people and foreigners is almost always a pattern. ? There are few equal exchanges, and most people are not very familiar with them. Communication means what they ask and what you answer. Don't ask questions at all, and care about each other in the opposite direction. What's more, they don't chat at all, and they are speechless after a few words. For a long time, Americans paid no attention to you at all. If someone talks to you like this, are you still willing to stick a hot face on someone else's cold ass? Definitely not.

Generation gap of lifestyle

People living in the United States usually chat differently from those taught in domestic English textbooks. ? The others are not weathermen. Would you like to let you talk about the weather for an hour? ? People abroad are more concerned about sports, especially the United States-football. Whenever the NFL season begins, every game will fill the stadium. There is always a group of Americans in front of the TV, watching the strong men who catch up with sumo wrestlers collide with each other on the court. ? They also have a different worship of athletes. When I was a child, we were all game kings, digital Tyrannosaurus cards. Americans are very nice. Even adults, they always collect athletes' cards.

When chatting, almost all Americans will talk about games. Personally, they have never heard of talking about baseball (baseball may have been quite popular a long time ago, as can be seen in Hemingway's book, and the new york Yankees are also mentioned in The Old Man and the Sea). The other is talking about NBA games. ? The Koreans you mentioned may be more concerned about this aspect, or pay special attention to this aspect, in order to chat with Americans. ?
