We have learned many things about western countries, because the world gets globalized and we want to know the trend. What's more, we learn the culture as we learn English all the time. But things are different for foreigners. As the Asian country, they know little things about China, so the misunderstandings will happen all the time. A lot of foreigners think Chinese people have Kongfu, because they have seen a lot of Kongfu movies. This type of movie was very popular in the 1990s, which opened the door for foreigners to learn about this old country. As the directors liked to create the stereotype of Chinese image, many foreigners believe that China is poor and even doesn't have taxi. This is so ridiculous, especially when foreigners ask us about if we can play Kongfu. As the development of Chinese economy, the communication between countries will be enhanced.
因为世界正在全球化,我们了解到很多关于西方国家的事情,而且我们也想了解世界的趋势。更重要的是,我们在不断学习英语的过程中同时也是产生误解。很多外国人认为中国人会功夫,因为他们看过很多关于功夫的电影。这种类型的电影在19世纪20年代很受欢迎,也是这种类型的电影打开了外国人了解这个古老国家的大门。导演们也喜欢制造刻板印象,很多外国人认为中国很穷,甚至没有出租车。这是如此的荒谬,特别是外国人问我们是否会功夫。随着中国经济的发展,国与国之间的交流将会增强。
As China becomes more powerful and the world has focused their attention on this great country, the foreigners are so curious about China, so they come here and most of them can't help falling in love with the culture. Most Chinese must be very curious about if the foreigners have idols in China. Actually, they have. A group of foreigner were asked about this question and most of them said Jacky Chen was their hero. Jacky Chen was awarding the Oscar Life Achievement Award recently. He is the pride of China. Jacky Chen is famous for his Kongfu movies, in which he combines the Kongfu with comedy and the audience likes this style so much. The world knows more about China from his movies. Jacky Chen is a great man. He contributes so much to the society.
随着中国的越来越强大,世界都注意到了这个伟大的国家,外国人对中国很好奇,因此他们来到中国,大多数人就忍不住爱上中国文化。而大多数中国人也很好奇外国人在中国是否有偶像,实际上,他们有。一些外国人被问及这个问题时,大多数说成龙是他们的英雄。成龙最近被授予奥斯卡终身成就奖,他是中国的骄傲。成龙因他著名的功夫电影而出名,他把功夫和喜剧融合在一起,观众喜欢这种风格。外国人从他的电影里也更了解中国。成龙是一个伟大的人,他对社会贡献了很多。
The Rules of Making Friends
We all like to make friends, we live in a society that we need to communicate with others. Without a friend, one can never express his emotions, no one share his sorrow and happiness. Making friends balances one's emotions, you can talk to friends any things, like secret, which you don't want to share with our parents. But here is the fact that not everyone is suitable to be friend, we need to obey the rules. First, the guy must be honest. Honesty is the base of the being friends, to be frank and then to be close. Second, there is something common in you two. The same interest always brings two hearts close, the more something in common, the better, thus he will be your best friends, you can share things with him. Making friends is a big deal, cause if you make the wrong one, you may get the negative thing from him.
我们都喜欢交朋友,我们生活在一个社会,需要彼此交流。没有朋友,一个人不能表达他的情绪,没人分享喜怒哀乐。交朋友能平衡感情,你可以和朋友谈任何事,比如你不会和父母分享的秘密。事实上,并不是所有的人都适合成为朋友,我们需要遵守原则。第一,那个人必须诚实。诚实是成为朋友的基础条件,闯开心扉然后变得亲近。第二,你们两个之间有共同点。共同的兴趣让两颗心靠近,越多共同点越好,因此他会成为你最好的朋友,你可以和他分享事情。交朋友是一件很大的事,因为如果交友不慎,你可能会感染他的一些恶习。
As the saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed". Friends play a very essential role in our daily life. However, how to make goods friends is a problem for most of us. As for me, I have three principles to choose friends.
正如谚语所说的那样,患难见真情。朋友在我们日常生活中扮演着非常重要的角色。然而,如何交到一个好朋友是我们大多数人都遇到过的问题。
In the first place, good friends should have their own principles. We should take into account the fact that people who insist on their principles have high quality. Therefore, it is worth making friends with them.
首先,好朋友应该是有他们自己的处事原则。我们应该认识到这样一个事实,坚持自己原则的人一般都是具有高尚的品格。因此,这样的人值得我们去交朋友。
Then, I want to point out that good friends should be full of trust. This kind of person has a pure heart, so we can communicate with each other by heart.
然后,我想说的是,好的朋友应该是充满真诚的。这样的朋友有一颗赤子之心,我们能用心来彼此交流。
Finally, active friends are just like beautiful sunshine. They can light up our blue mood, drive away the dark clouds and give us courage.
最后,拥有积极心态的朋友就像美丽的阳光。他们能够照亮我们忧郁的心情,驱走乌云,给我们鼓励。
Friends who have above three characteristics will be great wealth for us.
能交到有以上三个特征的朋友将会是我们巨大的财富。
My mother is good at making dumplings and I love the flavor she makes. So every time when I see her making dumplings in the quick way, I think it is such an easy thing for me. Last week, I decided to learn making dumplings from my mother and it was such a valuable experience for me. Before starting the main step, kneading the dough took me a really long time. My mother told me that it was a very important step, just like the base of a building. I did not do the base work well, so I passed it and came to make dumpling directly. My mother finished one dumpling only three seconds, but when I made the packaging of one dumpling. It was so hard to close well, and the meat went out. I never expected that making a dumpling would be so hard.
我妈妈擅长包饺子,我也喜欢她做的味道,所以每次我看到她包饺子包得很快的时候,我就觉得对我来说应该也是很容易的。上周,我决定向妈妈学习包饺子,这对我来说是宝贵的经验。开始进入主要步骤前,揉捏面团花了我很长时间,我妈妈告诉我,这是一个非常重要的步骤,就像房子的地基。我没把基础工作做好,就直接做饺子。我妈妈只要三秒钟就完成一个饺子,但是当我包饺子时,很难包紧,肉都跑出来了。我从来没想到做饺子会如此困难。
My school carried out new projects. Some foreign high school students would come to our school to study for a month. We were so excited about the project, because we had learned English for many years and we never had the chance to talk to the native speakers. Now the chance was coming and I wanted to make friends with them. I joined the activities, which was for students to communicate with foreign friends. I was so nervous to communicate with my partner. I was afraid of making mistakes when speaking English. But since we talked, I found she could understand me and we shared the culture. I learned a lot and we became friends. Don't be afraid of making mistakes when we speak English. If we want to get improved, just speak.
我学校开展了新项目。一些外国高中生会来我们学校学习一个月。我们对这个项目感到非常兴奋,因为我们学习英语很多年了,但却从来没有机会和说英语的本地人交谈过。现在,机会来了。我想和他们交朋友。我参加了学生与外国朋友交流的活动。和我的搭档交流我非常紧张,我害怕说英语时犯错误。但是自从我们交谈后,我发现她能理解我的意思,我们就一起分享着各自的文化。我学到了很多,我们也成为了朋友。当我们说英语时,不要害怕犯错误。如果我们想要提高自己的英语,就要开口说话。
There is a very classic situation happens in the job market. Graduates come to the employers and they will also ask the graduates about their expectation of the job. As the freshman in the job market, one factor is always paid low, so the first expectation is to raise the salary. Sadly, this is hard to negotiate, because the employers need to see the value you create in the work firstly. So when we ask for the things we want, we need to think about what we can do to others. Life is fair, as the saying that no pain, no gain. Just like if we want to make a difference in the world, we need to make some efforts, fighting for the goal. When we become excellent, we have the right to negotiate and take charge of life.
在就业市场有一个非常经典的现象。毕业生来到就业市场会被问及其工作期望。作为就业市场的菜鸟,其中一个特点是工资低,所以第一个期望是提高工资。遗憾的是,这个谈判是困难的,因为雇主需要先看到你所创造的价值。所以当我们要求想要的东西时,得想想自己能为此做些什么。生活是公平的,俗话说,没有付出,就没有收获。就像如果我们想要在世界上有所作为,就需要做努力,为我们的目标而战。当我们变得优秀时,就有权进行谈判,掌控生活。
Chinese parents are believed to be the most responsible parents in the world, they would do anything for their kids, such as washing their clothes and cleaning their bedroom just to let the children have more time to study. When the children grow up, the parents are willing to buy a house for them. While in the western countries, when the kids are above 16, parents expect them to move out, because both of them need personal space. I think there should be some distance between the old and the young, or the overprotection will do nothing good for both sides. It is important to learn to be independent for the children. Distance can create the chance to let them learn to deal with their stuffs and become mature. Parents should let go in the right time.
中国的父母被认为是世界上最负责任的父母,因为他们愿意为他们的孩子做任何事,比如给孩子们洗衣服,打扫卧室,只是为了让孩子们有更多的学习时间。当孩子们长大了,父母愿意给他们买房子。而在西方国家,当孩子们16岁以后,父母就希望他们搬出去,因为双方都需要私人空间。我认为老一代和年轻人之间应该有一定距离,否则过度的保护对双方都不好。对孩子来说重要的是要学会独立,距离可以创造机会,让他们学会处理自己的事情,变得成熟。父母应该在恰当的时间放手。
In China, it has been the tradition for people to save a lot of money, just in case of the emergent situation. But it is very different for American people. According to research, they don't trend to save money. The different situation has many reasons. First of all, America as the superpower, the government pays most of the bills and people don't have to worry about the emergent. While Chinese people have to pay the bill by themselves, which is a great burden. Secondly, American people are willing to spend the money to find fun, such as traveling around the world. They don't take the house as the big stuff, most whom choose to rent a house. But in China, people care about the house. They need to buy a house and then feel security. It is true that Chinese people are very responsible for the family and money brings the sense of security. Different people have different ways to live.
在中国,省钱是一种传统,用来预防紧急情况。然而对于美国人来说却是不一样的,根据研究,他们不倾向于省钱。造成情况不同的原因有很多。第一,美国作为超级大国,政府支付了大部分的账单,他们不用担心发生紧急情况。然而中国人得为自己买单,这是一个很大的负担。其次,美国人喜欢花钱找乐趣,比如环游世界,他们不看重房子,大多数人选择租房。但在中国,大家都在意房子,需要买房子才有安全感。的确,中国人对家庭很负责,而金钱确实也可以带来安全感。每个人都有每个人的生活方式
Imagine there are two students, one is good at getting high score in the exams and the other is good at many practical skills, so who will be popular? In school, there is no doubt that teachers like the former person, because education pays attention to the exam, and score is always the standard to judge a student. While in the job market, the latter is favored by the employers. They expect someone who has the practical skills and can make profits for the company. Score doesn't mean ability. In school, some talented kids will be ignored because of low score. They are easy to miss the chance of making differences. So we can't judge a person by score, which ability is also the important part to measure a person, even ability take over the score.
想象有两个学生,一个善于在考试中获取高分,另一个则擅长很多实用技能,那么谁会受欢迎呢?在学校,毫无疑问,教师喜欢前者,因为教育注重考试,而分数总是作为判断一个学生的标准。在就业市场,后者则是会受到雇主青睐,他们想要那些有实用技能,可以使公司盈利的人。分数并不意味着能力。在学校,一些有才华的孩子会因为分数低而被忽略,他们很容易错过机会。所以我们不能通过分数来判断一个人,能力也是衡量一个人的重要部分,甚至能力比分数更重要。
