Some people believe that your nationality can influence your personality.This is why you might hear someone saying"She is a typical(典型的) Australian"or"He is so French".It seems that people from a certain country share certain similar characteristics.
French
French people are often seen as romantic and outgoing people with a great love for life,food and wine.They are good at singing and dancing.
Chinese
Chinese are friendly people who are hard-working.They are polite because they are careful about"saving face"when dealing with other people.
Australians
Australians are merry people who spend a lot of time outdoors.They enjoy a slower life.They laugh a lot but sometimes people think they are loud and rude.
Germans
Germans are often described as being serious and careful.They are hard workers and pay a lot of attention to details.However,sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.
All these national types can be true for some people,but very wrong for others.For example,you might meet a German who is a confident singer with a great sense of humour,or an Australian who is shy and quiet.!
