Sjokz's evaluation of China lol

Sjikz is divided into seven aspects: China LOL.

Evaluation 1: study hard, value grades, but lack creativity.

American students think that China students study too hard and pay too much attention to exams, but not to creativity and independent thinking. I only concentrate on my study, but I don't think about my life and future.

A foreigner said that students in China are "diligent". Teachers in their school sometimes list some recommended books, but often only China students will read them carefully. Moreover, the total score of China students is still lower than that of foreign students, because they will not actively participate in class discussions, which also accounts for 50% of the scores.

I have several friends who are professors, and they also talked to me, saying that China students don't like to discuss and talk in class.

In fact, many times it is not that I don't know what to say, but that I dare not say it. An international student on the Internet said: In class discussion, I often know the answer to a question or have a good idea, but I don't raise my hand to say it. When the teacher turned his attention to me, I pretended to be dementia or shy. After the teacher finished the topic, I regret not saying a few words just now.

Evaluation 2: lack of sense of humor, can not afford to joke.

Americans like parties very much, and often hold various parties, themes and games in their own or friends' homes, among which drinking and funny games are inevitable. But strangely, many American students seldom invite China students to such parties.

Because they are worried that China students are not used to their games. After all, most students in China are still very conservative.

Perhaps traditional ideas have been deeply rooted in the minds of China people. This is not a matter of judging the value, but for people who are accustomed to extreme openness like some Americans, studying in China makes them feel a little inaccessible and difficult to get along with.

Evaluation 3: Poor English communication skills.

An American student said, "When I learned that all foreign students in China started to learn English from primary school, I was shocked, because their oral English ability could not talk normally, let alone discuss problems."

When I first went abroad, language barrier was inevitable for every international student. Don't say that your English, IELTS and GRE are so good that they are completely useless in reality. If we don't overcome this obstacle, it will be difficult to integrate into American culture to learn.

Special note: The only way to break through the language barrier is to communicate with people around you. Don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself or being laughed at.

Immigrated to the United States more than ten years ago and was forced to study. I did a lot of stupid things in the process. Now my English is not very good. I'm still studying, but I often pretend to be a translator. I believe my story is an encouragement to you. When you lose confidence, when you want to give up: Don't forget that Gao Weiwei was so stupid that he actually learned English. Is there anything you can't learn? (Bowen: Those embarrassing memories when I first learned English)

Evaluation 4: I love cooking and know it very well.

A few days ago, I forwarded a joke from an American Chinese blogger in Weibo:

"Rivers and mountains are only in dreams. The motherland has not been close for many years, but it can't be changed anyway. My China stomach ... "

This lyrics change is really talented, especially for me, it is too appropriate.

Think of us overseas Chinese, no matter how many years, the most constant is our love for food. Therefore, there is a joke that people in China take pots with them everywhere, so they cook for themselves for fear that they can't get used to the food there.

First, I don't like western food; second, I am frugal. Not only China students like to cook by themselves, but China people also like to cook by themselves overseas.

Therefore, China students love to cook, and they can't be blamed. There are precedents and traditions. Look at Li Hongzhang again. Didn't he bring all the guys and people who cook and eat when he visited America? How ostentatious! (See blog post: The amazing ostentation and extravagance of China officials' visit to the United States)

Many of my friends like my cooking very much. They said that the food I cooked was not as delicious as western food, but it was delicious. (blog post: American Christmas dinner and braised trotters PK)

Another American said, "You are really something. I have to cook several dishes for every meal. Unlike me, a plate can solve it. "

Evaluation 5: The overseas students in China are lively, and they like to invite their fellow villagers for dinner, playing cards and mahjong.

China students may not be good at attending foreigners' parties, but they often attend their own parties.

When many China students come to the United States, the first thing they do is to ask if there is a Chinese circle nearby, and then they look for fellow villagers in the same place.

As the saying goes, villagers see villagers with tears in their eyes. Even in the big cities in China, there are local associations everywhere, and overseas, there are more local associations.

There are also many hometown associations in the United States, mostly in provinces. International students often attend parties in their hometown, or cook a Chinese meal in a rented apartment, or go out for a rub. There are also many international students who have moved Mahjong, the quintessence of China, to the United States to catch it at parties.

Some foreigners have also been inspired by the quintessence of China and started to learn to play mahjong.

Some foreigners even asked, "Why doesn't China strive to make mahjong an Olympic event?"

"China people are so smart, how did you invent this game? Although it is very complicated to learn, it is very interesting to play after learning. Because you never know what card God will give you next. Oh, by the way, you don't call God, you call God. "

Evaluation 6: Be considerate, afraid of conflict, unwilling to express opinions, and like to solve it privately.

Harmony is the theme of contemporary China, perhaps influenced by Confucianism. Students studying in China do not like arguments, do not like conflicts, and are afraid of conflicts. If someone has a problem with someone, they will try to avoid saying it in public. Is to solve problems and avoid conflicts under the stage.

For some things that do not involve personal privacy, whenever there are differences of opinion, foreigners usually like to put them on the table for public debate. This is the opposite of China people.

Evaluation 7: China students are introverted, reserved and don't talk about sex.

Foreigners always say that China students don't like to show their feelings and say "I love you" anytime and anywhere. They don't hug in public or talk about sex.

I quite agree: a blog friend's message:

"In fact, every country has its own customs. Needless to say, whoever is good or bad, just do as the Romans do."
