剑桥之行感想5000字

剑桥之行感想5000字篇一:美国之行感悟---社会实践心得社会实践心得暑假为期21天的美国游学之旅精彩纷呈,日程紧张丰富,涉猎超乎想像的广泛,学习强度高,思考时间长,老师同学交流充分,我们囫囵吞枣般审阅着美国,但大家普遍收获很大。

回南京已经十天了,我试着沉淀几天,捕捉自己短暂的收获,拉拉杂杂的几点感悟不成系统,希望能够和大家分享。

一.景与人-----美满真诚,有爱相随在美国这么多天的旅行中我最想说说华盛顿,华盛顿很小,他不属于任何一个州,而是被捐献出来单独设置联邦政府的一小块土地,因此我们的游览也很轻松,基本围绕在以地标华盛顿纪念塔为中心的四周游览华盛顿除了“首都”这个头衔,和北京毫无相同。

这里没有烫黑字的金属招牌,这里没有叠三明治一样的高速公路,这里没有永远望不到头的汽车长龙,这里没有修剪得一样平的灌木丛。

没错,这里没有挤满的人群与汽车,却负载着每一秒的历史。

这里有越南战争、朝鲜战争的纪念地,这里有林肯、杰弗逊纪念堂,这里有白宫和国会。

在美国人眼中,自由永远是王道。

因此,才有了“Freedom is not free.”,才有了对种族歧视的宣战。

也许只有在几十年前硝烟弥漫的战场上,一个人才会用盲目却仇视的眼光随着瞄准的枪口去看另一个人。

他们都有着相同的目的——为国家而战,他们却也并不知道自己在干什么,为什么要扣动扳机,为什么要鲜血四溅,为什么要同归于尽。

除了一两个人大笑,其他人都在无尽地流泪。

但却没有一个人清醒,清醒地认识到自己的欲望与贪婪。

有的民族攻击,便有的民族自卫。

我们都说中国的近代史是一部屈辱史,但对英国、法国、美国、德国、日本、俄国??又何尝不能说是屈辱,我们被人抽打、折磨,让鲜血一寸一寸渗进黄土。

而侵略者的丑态被人奉承,被人观看,被人耻笑,被人咒骂。

若说前者的耻辱会成为一种精神,那么后者的耻辱将永远是耻辱。

在美国印象最深刻的就是在公共场合接触的外国人。

他们大多友好、文明,表现得文雅而有修养。

中国人在海外给人什么印象

中国人在海外给人什么印象

中国人在海外给人什么印象《查理周刊》风波尚未平息,法国的漫画家们似乎又找到了新的玩法,这一回,华人躺枪了!法国漫画杂志《寒流》在最新出版的一期期刊中,将“黄祸已至,挡之晚矣?”做成了封面漫画的主题,发表了多幅以华人“土豪”“自拍客”和各类“中国餐馆”为背景,讽刺味道极强的漫画。

伴随着这幅封面漫画,中国人在国际上给人留下什么印象,又成了热点话题。

法国杂志的这幅漫画虽然被多家中国网站转载,也引发了很多讨论,但显然也不能代表法国人对中国的普遍看法。

有意思的是,中国外交部发言人洪磊今天在例行记者会上对此事作出了回应。

称中法间应以开放包容的心态加强合作,共同发展。

那么我们华人中国人在老外眼中的那些既定形象都是怎样的呢?有人总结出以下一些特点,包括爱住豪宅,个个会打乒乓,不知道你中枪了没有?的确华人到美国非常喜欢买卖房地产,几次转手便可以赚来一栋不错的住房,甚至更多中国人来到美国口袋里满满的现金,掏出来把美国人吓一跳。

虽然乒乓球是中国的国球,不过水平还是因人而异,像博主高娓娓就打得不好。

有一次被老美朋友打败了,老美朋友得意洋洋说自己打乒乓球赢了中国人,我赶紧承认,自己的乒乓球是中国人里水平最差的那种。

老外认为中国人很稀奇古怪,鸡爪,鸭爪,鸡头,鸭头,内脏,什么都吃,这些在美国被他们称为PET FOOD。

而且最让老外们抓狂的是,咱们中国人都是吃货,却很多都吃不胖。

什么?你说你胖?博主高娓娓亲身经历告诉你,咱这样的,坐在老美边上,瘦得就像一道闪电。

每当高娓娓念叨着要少吃减肥,老美朋友都说,这么瘦还减肥?好吧参照物找对了,什么事情都解决了在外国人看来,狗是人类忠实的朋友,你们怎忍心吃它们!?还有,在老外面前千万不要夸耀鱼翅熊掌燕窝,免得担上虐待动物的罪名。

在美国无论大小城市,就算是最最边远的小镇,都会有中国人开的餐馆,据开玩笑说,上月球的太空船,都有中国外卖店的传单。

在美国很多好的社区,都可以看到中国人,有一部分老美也比较愿意与中国人做邻居。

经过十几个小时的飞行,我终于到达了美国洛杉矶。

我寄宿家庭的叔叔、阿姨早就在机场等候着来接我去他们家。

一路上我们都好开心。

阿姨给我介绍着路上的风景,虽然我不是完全能听懂,但感受到了他们的热情和那里美丽的风景。

到家后,我才知道那天居然是叔叔的生日!家里举办着盛大的生日宴会----来了好多客人,真热闹!大家都对我很热情友好。

我感觉就像回到自己的家里一样温馨。

在这次夏令营活动中,我觉得最开心的就是参观全球最大的环球影城和迪士尼乐园。

在环球影城里,我看到了巨大的变形金刚。

它好高大,好结实,每一处都做得好细致,仿佛就像是从电影屏幕里跑出来一样逼真。

电影城里,还有好用多高科技制作出来的画面。

那些画面,真让我大饱眼福!在迪士尼乐园里坐过山车,特别刺激。

我坐在上面,觉得头昏目眩,就像到了太空一样......到美国小学上课也是件让我愉快而难忘的事情。

在那所学校里,我认识了好多美国同学,我们一起学习,一起踢足球、做手工,玩各种游戏。

美国同学都喜欢阅读,教室的每个角落都是书。

他们每天都会阅读各种各样的书籍。

大家一起看书,尽情享受着阅读的乐趣。

我还参观了加州大学和伯克利大学。

走进那些名牌大学,我很快就被那浓浓的学习气氛和文化气息包围住了。

加州大学的图书馆真让我目瞪口呆。

哇!好大的图书馆呀!好多的书啊!走进里面,我仿佛遨游在书的海洋里......图书管理,有许多大哥哥、大姐姐都在安静地看书。

看到这情景,我好感动啊!我想:我一定要好好学习,阅读更多的书。

这次开心的美国之旅,开阔了我的眼界,也丰富了我的内心,让我感觉到了世界的美好!美国印象每年春节期间,爸爸妈妈都会带我去美国游玩,我真的没有想到,美国的社会是非常的包容开放、文明发达。

我们参观了美国很多世界著名的大学,有波士顿地区的哈佛大学、麻省理工学院,加州地区的斯坦福大学,费城地区的宾夕法尼亚大学,华盛顿地区的华盛顿大学等等。

印象深刻的教育经历

印象深刻的教育经历

印象深刻的教育经历
我曾经参加过一次国际交流项目,在美国的一所高中度过了一个学期。

这段经历给我留下了深刻的印象。

在美国的高中,我完全融入了当地的教育环境。

我和美国同学一起上课,参加各种活动,并住在当地家庭。

这让我更好地了解了美国的教育体系和文化。

我在那所学校学到了很多新的知识和技能。

课堂上,老师注重培养学生的创造力和问题解决能力。

他们鼓励学生积极参与讨论和互动,而不只是被动地接受知识。

这种教学方法让我对学习更感兴趣,也提高了我的学习效果。

此外,我也参加了一些社团活动和课外项目。

我加入了学校的音乐社团,学习了一种新的乐器,并和其他成员一起进行排练和表演。

这个经历让我更好地发展了自己的兴趣爱好,并学会了协作和团队合作。

在与美国家庭共同生活的过程中,我更深刻地了解了美国文化和生活方式。

我学会了用英语与他们交流,也更好地理解了他们的价值观和社会习俗。

与他们的相处让我更加开放和包容,也培养了我的跨文化交流能力。

这段教育经历对我来说是一次宝贵的历练。

它开阔了我的眼界,提高了我的学术水平和综合素养。

我深深感受到了教育的力量,它不仅仅是知识的传授,更是对个人成长和全球视野的塑造。

文化拓展:美国中小学校园初印象

文化拓展:美国中小学校园初印象

文化拓展:美国中小学校园初印象印象之一:管理精简,设施简陋,讲求实效在田纳西州纳什维尔市参观每一所学校,给我的感觉都是规模不大,设施简陋,但管理精简,讲求实效。

学校的管理人员很少,一般就设一个校长,1名校长助理,此外就再没有其他的行政管理人员。

学生一般在300-600人上下,多的也不超过1000人。

校长要对学校每天的事务作具体的安排,并将安排公布或通过邮箱发至每位教员,教员们按校长的指示规范行事,使学校能正常运作。

校长每天是最早到学校的,7:00在校门口以和蔼的笑容迎接学生到校。

期间要见教员、见学生或见家长,几乎每天深入课堂听课或巡课,中午要了解教师与学生的午餐情况,下午2:30左右开始放学,还要协助教员们指挥学生安全离校,平时还要处理突发事情等。

可以说事无巨细都得管,亲自过问。

学校教员分工很细,除了学科教师,还有专业教师和很多职能不同的辅助教师、心理辅导教师、联邦特派教师、学科顾问(阅读能力、数学方面)等。

所到学校,占地面积都不大。

我们参观十多所学校都没有看到有400米或200米开阔的运动场,大多数学校有室内体育馆,全校体育课都在里面上。

听说在美国中小学校里极少有正规的足球场,个别私立学校有垒球场,也不算是正规的。

有意思的是,学校都没有庄严的大门,没有传达室,有些甚至没有围墙,绝大多数学校没有单独的行政办公楼。

值得一提的是,所参观学校的教室外表看上去实在不起眼,一般就是两三层,四方形状的平顶屋,一间间相连,远看好像是一间工厂的厂房,并且千遍一律的装饰风格。

我们参观的学校所看到的电脑设备均为配置不高的苹果学生用机,但方便使用,每个课室都可随意让学生使用或上网。

美国中小学十分重视图书馆的作用,虽然大多数学校没有独立的图书楼(馆),并且藏书阅览的地方多数为多功能室,可以作会客厅、教师开会、学生表演、艺术训练或作餐厅之用。

藏图室的藏书并不多,有的均为中小学生适看的图书,以图画书为主,还有幻灯片、挂图、唱片、电脑软件、录音带等各类资料和相应的设备,学习资源非常丰富。

美国芝加哥大学实验学校幼儿部参访印象

美国芝加哥大学实验学校幼儿部参访印象

放眼世界(OMEP 中国委员会专版)2017年11月8日,我们怀着激动的心情踏入了美国进步主义教育家杜威于1896年创立的芝加哥大学实验学校。

实验学校致力于培养追寻真理和真知的人才,崇尚多元化,并为具有多元化背景的儿童提供适宜的学习环境。

目前,实验学校大约有700名3~8岁儿童,一楼是3~5岁儿童的活动室,二、三楼是6~8岁儿童的活动室。

实验学校的学前阶段(幼儿部)共有18个班,3岁、4岁、5岁年龄段各有6个班。

幼儿部大厅的墙上“友好、创造力、体验、多样性、点燃、学问、知识、教养、自信”九个关键词很好地概括了实验学校的办学宗旨和理念(见图1)。

在参观过程中,我们被实验学校崇尚多元化的氛围、人与环境的互动关系以及孩子的充分探索与能动性发挥所深深打动。

其中给我们印象最深刻的是实验学校的环境创设,它的课程理念和特色、文化多样性等都能在环境创设中体现出来,并有机融入幼儿的一日生活。

一、自然开放的户外环境实验学校的户外场地并不大,却让我们充分感受到了它对自然理念的推崇,为幼儿挑战身体机能以及进行社会性游戏和探索自然世界提供了机会。

首先,户外场地除了草地、水泥地、塑胶地,还铺设了便于渗水的木屑地(见图2),这样,即使在雨雪天,也能让幼儿在相对干燥的户外进行活动,确保幼儿每天都有至少一小时的户外活动时间。

每个活动室门口都摆放着幼儿的雨鞋(见图3),有的活动室里还挂着幼儿的雨衣,这些都为幼儿雨雪天在户外活动提供了便利。

其次,实验学校在现代建筑风格中融入了自然元素,在位于中庭的户外场地上放置了草垛、小木桩等材料(见图4)。

我们看到,幼儿利用这些材料进行角色扮演游戏、搭建游戏等,与自然亲密接触,获得了丰富的经验。

在这个过程中,教师更多地充当监护者、协助者的角色,鼓励幼儿自主探索,仅仅是在幼儿产生问题并求助时才予以适当的引导。

再次,实验学校还积极利用周边自然环境,将幼儿的户外活动场地拓展到了周边的芝加哥大学校园中,教师采用“大带小”的户外活动方式,让美国芝加哥大学实验学校幼儿部参访印象*南京师范大学教育科学学院马洁*本文得到了“教育部卓越幼儿园教师培养计划资助项目”“江苏高校品牌专业建设工程资助项目”(项目编号:PPZY2015A004)的资助。

关于刻板印象的案例新传

关于刻板印象的案例新传

关于刻板印象的案例新传刻板印象(stereotype)是指人们对于某个群体的成员所持的固定、刻板的、错误的看法。

刻板印象可能源自文化传统、媒体影响、个人经历等原因,它在社会中广泛存在,对于个体和群体都可能产生负面影响。

下面将通过一些案例来探讨刻板印象的存在和对策。

一、种族刻板印象案例1:在一个多元文化的国家,如美国,种族刻板印象是普遍存在的。

对于非裔美国人的刻板印象通常是负面的,他们被误解为暴力、懒惰、愚钝。

这一刻板印象导致了非裔美国人在就业、教育、司法等方面面临不公平待遇。

案例2:同样在美国,对于亚裔美国人也存在着刻板印象,他们被视为功利主义、内向、势利。

这导致了亚裔美国人在职场上面临着晋升机会不足、难以融入主流社会的问题。

二、性别刻板印象案例3:在职场性别歧视普遍存在的社会中,女性经常面临性别刻板印象的影响。

她们被认为不够职业、情绪化、智商不如男性。

这种刻板印象导致了女性在职场中晋升机会有限、薪酬待遇不公等问题。

案例4:另一个例子是,男性也经常受到性别刻板印象的困扰,对男性的期望通常是强壮、果断、有领导力。

这可能导致某些男性在表达情感、追求自己真实喜好时受到社会的限制。

三、年龄刻板印象案例5:老年人经常面临年龄刻板印象的困扰,他们被贴上无用、思维僵化、对现代科技不适应等标签。

这可能导致老年人在就业、医疗、社交等方面受到不公平对待。

案例6:另一个例子是,年轻人也面临着由年龄刻板印象带来的挑战,他们可能被误解为缺乏责任心、不成熟、只顾玩乐。

这种印象可能导致年轻人在就业、社会地位、人际关系方面受到限制。

对于刻板印象,破除它需要全社会的共同努力。

教育是最为重要的一环,通过教育普及正确的价值观和认知,可以减少人们对不同群体的刻板印象。

多样性和包容性的宣传和实践也可以帮助破除刻板印象,让人们更加尊重和理解他人的差异。

媒体在宣传时也应该避免强化刻板印象,多样化、平等化的形象塑造将有助于改变社会对不同群体的刻板看法。

美国人对中国人的刻板印象英语作文

美国人对中国人的刻板印象英语作文

美国人对中国人的刻板印象英语作文全文共5篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Ideas About Chinese PeopleWhen I was really little, I didn't know much about Chinese people. But now that I'm older, I've learned some things that many Americans seem to think about people from China. I'm not sure if all of these ideas are completely true or not. I'm just sharing what I've noticed that many people believe.First of all, I think a lot of Americans picture Chinese people as being really good at math. Like, they imagine that all Chinese kids are super brainy and way ahead in math class compared to American kids. There's this idea that Chinese students study extremely hard and that their parents push them to get perfect grades. The parents are seen as being very strict about schoolwork.Another big stereotype is that Chinese people only eat weird foods like chicken feet, duck tongues, and snake soup. My friend Billy says his Chinese neighbor's house smells like gross stinky fish every time they cook. He says you can smell it all the way outin the street! But then again, I guess American food probably smells just as funky to people from other countries.A lot of people also believe that Chinese people are really bad drivers. I've heard grown-ups joke that Chinese drivers are the worst and that you need to be super careful if you see an Asian person behind the wheel. That doesn't seem very nice to say. My dad says it's because driving rules are relatively new in China compared to America, so maybe that stereotype comes from older ways of driving over there.Then there's the idea that Chinese people are always calm and respectful. Like, you never see Chinese people getting loud or rude in public. They're pictured as being very polite, bowing a lot, and never showing strong emotions. I'm not sure how true that one is since all people probably get angry or loud sometimes, no matter where they're from.Chinese people are also stereotyped as being amazing at martial arts, like kungfu and stuff. There's this whole idea that little Chinese grandmas could probably kick your butt if they wanted to! A lot of American movies show Chinese people as kungfu masters or warriors with mad skills. I tried taking a kungfu class once but I wasn't very good at it.Another really common belief is that Chinese people are super hard workers who will do any job, no matter how hard it is. Like, Americans think of Chinese immigrants as working ridiculous hours at restaurants or laundromats without ever complaining. There's this sense that Chinese people just keep their heads down and grind, grind, grind at their jobs to make money for their families.And of course, pretty much every American associates Chinese people with rice, fortune cookies and chopsticks for eating. We're taught from kindergarten that people in China eat with chopsticks instead of forks and eat rice at every meal. It seems weird to me that a country as huge as China would be stereotyped as all eating just one or two foods, but I guess that's how it is.Those are some of the biggest stereotypes I've noticed American people having about Chinese people and Chinese culture. Like I said, I'm not sure how accurate or fair some of those ideas really are. Maybe some are true and some are just silly assumptions that got repeated so much that everyone believes them. It would probably be better if Americans knew more true facts about China rather than just stereotyping everyone over there as math geniuses who drive badly. But thoseare the kinds of impressions that seem really common around here. Anyway, those are my thoughts as an American kid on this topic! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇2My Thoughts on How Americans See Chinese PeopleHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm a 5th grader at Lincoln Elementary School. For our writing assignment this week, my teacher Mrs. Robinson asked us to write about American stereotypes of different cultures and nationalities. I decided to write about how Americans often view Chinese people.First of all, what even is a stereotype? A stereotype is when you make one big overall idea about what a whole group of people is like, rather than seeing each person as an individual. It's kinda like putting everyone from that group into one big bucket, instead of getting to know them as separate human beings with their own unique personalities and lives. Stereotypes can sometimes be positive, but a lot of times they are negative and not very accurate.Some common American stereotypes about Chinese people are that they are all super smart at math, they own a lot of restaurants and nail salons, they are stricter parents, and the kidshave to get really good grades and practice instruments like piano or violin for hours every day. There are also stereotypes about certain cultural things like eating different foods like chicken feet or duck tongues that many Americans find kinda gross and weird.Now let me be clear - none of these stereotypes are universally true! There are many brilliant Chinese mathematicians and scientists, but there are also tons of Chinese people who struggle with math or just aren't that interested in it. Same with the stereotype about being super strict parents who force their kids to study all the time. I'm sure there are some Chinese parents who are like that, but I also know many Chinese kids who have pretty chill parents that let them play video games, hang out with friends, and just be normal kids too.My best friend Lucas is actually Chinese-American, and he is one of the funniest, most laid-back people I know. His dad owns an electronics store, not a restaurant, and his mom is a nurse. He's an okay student but not a crazy genius or anything. He does take piano lessons, but that's because he likes it and wants to learn an instrument, not because his parents force him to practice 6 hours a day. Oh, and he loves basketball way more than stereotypical activities like math competitions.I think a lot of these stereotypes come from how Chinese culture values working hard in school and having a strong family unit. Those are good values, but it doesn't mean every Chinese person fits into that narrow box. Lucas' family is just as loving and supportive as any other family I know. They still have fun together and let Lucas be a kid.Another reason for the stereotypes is probably because a lot of the Chinese immigrants who first came to America opened restaurants or nail salons since those were good businesses for them to start with limited resources. But obviously, not every Chinese person is destined to work in those fields. Loads of Chinese-Americans are teachers, doctors, engineers, artists, athletes and you name it these days.At the end of the day, stereotypes are just shortcuts that people's brains take rather than seeing every person as a complex individual. It would be way better if we could move past the stereotypes and get to know people for who they really are, not just make assumptions based on their race or culture. Every ethnic group has diversity within it. We're all unique humans, not just one-dimensional cartoons.This was just my thoughts as a 10-year-old kid, but I hope it makes sense! Making broad generalizations about any groupnever tells the full story. Whether you're Chinese, Mexican, Nigerian or from anywhere else, you should be seen as your own person first. I'll try my best not to buy into stereotypes as I get older, and I hope you'll join me! The world is a way more interesting place when you ditch the stereotypes and see the full vivid reality of all the incredible diversity around us.篇3American Stereotypes about Chinese PeopleHi! My name is Emma and I'm going to tell you about what some Americans think about Chinese people. Now, these are just stereotypes which means they might not be completely true or fair. But this is what I've heard some people say.First up, a lot of Americans think all Chinese people are super good at math. Like, they imagine Chinese kids as these genius calculator brains who can solve any crazy equation in a flash. My friend Timmy said his dad told him that Chinese children can do calculus before they're out of diapers! I'm not sure that's accurate though. While it's true that education is really important in China, I'm sure not every single Chinese kid is a math prodigy.Another stereotype is that Chinese people only eat weird foods like chicken feet, duck tongue, and scorpions on a stick.Yuck! I've heard people joking that Chinese restaurants leave off the normal menu items like hamburgers and just list crazy stuff like fried snake and barbecued bear paws. That can't be right though, can it? I'm sure Chinese cuisine has lots of normal items too, just like American food has unusual things like rocky mountain oysters (which are definitely weirder than chicken feet if you ask me!).Then there's the "Asian driver" stereotype. Some people think Chinese people are totally clueless when it comes to driving and operating a car. They imagine Chinese drivers constantly running red lights, failing to use turn signals, and causing tons of accidents. My uncle once told me that you're not allowed to call shotgun if there's a Chinese person driving because you'll definitely die in a fiery crash. That's so mean and uncalled for! Just because driving habits might be a bit different in China doesn't give people the right to say such horrible things.Another big stereotype about Chinese people is that they are ultra-strict parents who force their kids to get perfect grades and become doctors or lawyers. The parents are supposed to be totally hard-core about academics and make their children study literally all day and all night, taking away all video games and fun as punishment for a single B+. While I'm sure there are someultra-intense Chinese parents out there, it's offensive to say all Chinese families are like that. Lots of American parents can be pretty harsh about grades too.People also like to joke that every single Chinese person is an amazing martial artist and kung fu master. They'll make silly sounds like a karate yell and start doing karate kicks out of nowhere. Or they'll ask a Chinese person to break a stack of concrete bricks with their bare hand. In movies, Chinese characters always seem to know kung fu, even if they're just a normal chef or accountant. It's like people think martial arts is genetically coded into all Chinese people's DNA or something. That's pretty ridiculous if you ask me.Another idea some people have is that Chinese people are all super hard workers who spend every waking minute toiling away at their jobs to get ahead. They're supposedly always the first ones into the office and the last ones to leave. And they never take vacations or sick days off because they're so dedicated. I heard someone say that Chinese immigrant entrepreneurs will work 24/7 until they get rich, out-hustling everyone else. While having a strong work ethic is admirable, saying all Chinese people take it to that extreme is an unfair overgeneralization.Then there's the "Chinese people are badstrong>" stereotype that Chinese people can't speak English properly and talk in an exaggerated accent. They'll do imitations with lots of "L" and "R" mix-ups and phrases like "Oh no, velly bad!" Some people also think Chinese people are inherently bad at learning English because of how different it is from their native language. My dad's friend once said he had to fire his Chinese employee because his English was so poor that he couldn't communicate. That's just plain discrimination if you ask me. Lots of Chinese people speak perfect English!Those are some of the biggest American stereotypes I've heard about Chinese people. As I said, not all of them are true at all - they're just silly overgeneralizations that people believe for some reason. Maybe it's because China is across the world and seems so exotic compared to normal American life. Or maybe it's because some Americans don't interact much with real Chinese people and only see cartoonish representations in movies and TV.Either way, stereotyping entire groups of people is wrong and unfair. Chinese people are just normal human beings, with the same range of personalities, interests, and abilities as anyone else. Some might be great at math, while others struggle with it.Some might be kung fu masters, while others couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag. The point is, you can't lump over a billion people into a handful of simplistic stereotypes.When you get to know Chinese individuals as actual people, you realize how ridiculous these stereotypes are. My best friend Mei is Chinese, and she's nothing like the stereotypes. She's just a regular kid who loves reading, hates math, has totally normal parents, and can't do a single karate kick to save her life. Stereotypes can't capture the diversity found in any large population.So that's my take on some of the major stereotypes Americans have about Chinese people. The best policy is to just treat every person as an individual instead of making dumb assumptions based on their race or background. I hope this essay helped teach you about the stereotypes, while also showing how misguided and untrue they are. Thanks for reading - peace out!篇4American Stereotypes About Chinese PeopleMy name is Amy and I'm 10 years old. For my English class, I had to write an essay about American stereotypes of Chinesepeople. A stereotype is an oversimplified idea that many people believe about a particular group. Even though stereotypes aren't always true, many Americans believe them about Chinese people. Here are some of the most common ones:FoodA big American stereotype about Chinese people is that they eat weird foods like snake, monkey brains, and duck feet. It's true that some Chinese people eat these foods, but most don't. Regular Chinese dishes that Americans are familiar with include fried rice, chow mein, dumplings, and egg rolls. These are all very normal foods, not weird at all!Another food stereotype is that all Chinese food is the same. Americans think that Chinese food means the dishes served at American Chinese restaurants. In reality, there are many different regional cuisines in China with their own unique flavors and dishes. The food in Beijing tastes very different from the food in Guangzhou or Shanghai.MathA major American stereotype is that Chinese people are naturally good at math. It is true that students from China tend to get high scores on international math tests. However, this isbecause Chinese schools put a lot of emphasis on math rather than because of genetics or ethnicity.Chinese parents and teachers heavily prioritize math education from an early age with lots of homework and practice. Math skills are seen as very important for getting into good colleges and having a successful career. So Chinese students work extremely hard on math. It's not that math just comes naturally to Chinese people though.NamesAmericans often think that all Chinese people have names like Ping, Chang, or Fong. This could not be more wrong! There are hundreds of different common Chinese surnames and first names. Some examples are Wang, Li, Zhang, Liu for last names. First names could be Wei, Jia, Yao, or Mei.In Chinese culture, the surname comes before the first name. So someone's full name might be Wang Wei or Zhang Jia. The "Ping, Chang, Fong" idea shows how little Americans actually know about real Chinese names beyond a couple that have become stereotypes through movies and TV shows.PersonalityMany Americans picture Chinese people as being quiet, shy, reserved, and studious. They imagine kids spending all day at school or studying rather than playing. While there are certainly some studious Chinese kids, there are also kids who are outgoing, loud, energetic, and more interested in sports or games than schoolwork.Just like any other big group of people, Chinese kids and adults have a wide range of different personalities. Some are shy while others are the life of the party. Some are serious students while others struggle in school. The "quiet and studious" idea is an overgeneralization.IntelligenceTied to the "math genius" idea, Americans often assume that all Chinese people are extremely intelligent and gifted. And it's true that Chinese students get good academic results overall. But there are plenty of Chinese people across the full range of intelligence levels, from highly gifted to struggling learners.China has over 1.3 billion people which is almost 20% of the world's population. With that many people, you'd expect to find the full diversity of human intelligence levels represented, from genius to below average. No racial group has a monopoly on smarts or a lack thereof.Work EthicThe stereotype is that Chinese people work extremely hard all the time. There is the idea that manufacturing and other workers in China put in very long hours with few breaks, weekend days off, or vacations. And it's true that hard work and diligence are valued qualities in Chinese culture.However, the reality is more nuanced. Yes, some company owners in China expect grueling schedules from their employees. But many companies also try to have reasonable work-life balances, just like in America. And of course, individuals' work ethics vary across the whole range just like anywhere else.So those are some of the biggest stereotypes about Chinese people that are common in America. As you can see, although there are some kernels of truth in a few of them, most are either outdated or full-blown inaccurate generalizations. Chinese people are an enormously diverse group of over 1 billion individuals with all sorts of personalities, interests, and behaviors. Stereotyping them does no one any good. We're all human beings who deserve to be understood as individuals rather than judged by broad stereotypes.I hope this essay helped explain some of the common American stereotypes about Chinese people and why they aren'ta fair or accurate way to view an entire nation and racial group. We should celebrate diversity rather than make unfair judgments. Thanks for reading!篇5American Stereotypes about Chinese PeopleHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm in 5th grade. Today, I want to talk about the stereotypes many Americans have about Chinese people. Stereotypes are oversimplified ideas that some people believe represent an entire group. They aren't always true and can be really unfair. Let me share some common stereotypes about Chinese people and why they aren't accurate.One big stereotype is that all Chinese people are the same. This couldn't be further from the truth! China is a huge country with lots of different cultures, languages, and backgrounds. Some Chinese people are from big cities like Beijing or Shanghai, while others are from small villages. Their lives are really different depending on where they're from.Another stereotype is that Chinese people are super smart at math. While it's true that many Chinese students do well in math, this isn't because they were just born that way. In many Chinese families, kids are expected to study hard and do well in school,especially in subjects like math. But of course, not every single Chinese person is a math genius. There are Chinese people who struggle with math too, just like any other group.Many Americans also think that Chinese people eat weird foods like insects or reptiles. In reality, most Chinese people eat pretty normal stuff like rice, noodles, vegetables, and meats like chicken or pork. Yes, some Chinese cuisines do include unique ingredients like century eggs or chicken feet. But American foods like hot dogs or rocky mountain oysters seem pretty weird to Chinese people too! Every culture has different foods that others may find unusual.One stereotype that makes me sad is the idea that Chinese people are sneaky or untrustworthy. This stereotype comes from a long time ago when some Americans were prejudiced against Chinese immigrants. But it's totally wrong and unfair. Chinese people are just normal humans like anyone else - some are honest and kind while others can be dishonest, just like in any other group.A silly stereotype is that all Chinese people look the same with the same hair and eye colors. But there are actually lots of different looks among Chinese people, just like in any diverse group. You see Chinese people with different hair colors andtextures, different eye shapes, different skin tones, and more. Thinking they all look identical is just incorrect.Lastly, some Americans believe that Chinese people are robots who only do repetitive work like making toys or electronics. This stereotype comes from the many factories in China that manufacture products. But there are Chinese people doing all kinds of interesting jobs - scientists, athletes, artists, business leaders, and more. Just because a country has a big manufacturing industry doesn't mean the people are robots!So those are some of the main stereotypes Americans have about Chinese people. As you can see, most of them are inaccurate and don't show the diversity among Chinese people. Stereotypes oversimplify groups of people in unfair ways. It's important to keep an open mind, get to know people as individuals, and avoid making broad judgments. Chinese people are humans just like anyone else, with their own personalities, interests, and backgrounds. The next time you hear someone make assumptions about Chinese people, remember that stereotypes aren't the full story!。

规则第一,文明至上,热情友好,条件优越
——我眼中的美国第一印象
在我们抵达圣玛丽大学的过程中,也出现了一些小插曲。

例如,在旧金山入关的时候人特别多,而且我们入关后还需要转机直飞圣安东尼奥,但留给我们登机的时间却只有一个半小时。

结果入关时需要排非常长的队,而且前面通关速度并不快,我们也不允许插队,尽管我们拖着行李飞奔,最终还是延误了通关后的飞机,致使我们不得不转机丹佛,再从丹佛转机圣安东尼奥,旅途中多耗费了五六个小时,当地时间晚上九点终于到达目的地。

入关虽然耗费了太多时间,抱怨和着急之余,我更佩服的,是美国人“规则至上”的意识。

如果在中国,我们向海关人员说明特殊情况,或者有所谓的人情关系,很容易就给开放绿色通道,不必再排长队。

而在这里,无论两位领队老师怎样向他们说明情况,他们都让我们不要着急,one by one,给我们的答案是要么排队入关,要么返回中国。

在规矩面前,人人平等,规则至上,让我们感到了中美工作人员在处理事情方面的诸多不同,给我留下了深刻印象,也给我们上了来到美国的“做事”第一课。

与海关工作人员形成鲜明对比的是,圣玛丽大学的部门主管和他的团队给我们的热情相迎和细心接待。

在圣安东尼奥,因为这里常年比较温暖或者炎热,当地人基本喝冰水,没有温水更没有热水。

对方国际交流中心的RANA老师知道我们不习惯喝凉水后特意跑了很远,费了很大周折,买了大杯的热水分给我们,毕竟那个时候已经是当地时间深夜十一点,这让我们在异国他乡感受到了浓浓的暖意。

我们住的宿舍是四人间,就在学校里面,二层小楼,静谧温馨。

中央空调,独立卫浴,公共洗衣房、微波炉等都是免费使用,二十四小时开放,卫生纸、毛巾、浴巾等日用品给我们摆放得整整齐齐。

和国内宿舍相比,我们对圣玛丽大学优良舒适的学生住宿条件感慨了一番。

我们每个人的床上还放着他们提前给我们准备好的小礼物,让我们觉得特别暖心。

学校餐厅是自助餐厅,非周末都是从早晨7点到晚上9点半全天候开放,学生们可以在开放的时间内任何时间随便去用餐,我们不得不为此点赞。

并且,餐厅里面的食品种类丰富,面包,火鸡肉,通心粉,甜品,果汁,牛奶,咖啡,水果,沙拉、冰激凌等等,全部是自助用餐,非常方便。

学校里面还有小超市、星巴克咖啡、Subway、Chick-Afil-A等快餐店,也都是营业到晚上十点,有的还开放到半夜,非常便利。

圣玛丽大学校园面积适中,没有高楼大厦,但充斥着浓浓的的历史文化氛围。

在上课途中,我们还遇见一只可爱的美短(美国短毛猫),与中国的猫一见到陌生人就赶紧跑不同,它安静的看着我们,很享受我们抚摸他的头,揉他的脸,丝毫没有警惕和威胁,学校里经常会看到猫猫在悠哉悠哉的漫步,抬起头,高大的树上时不时有小松鼠穿梭。

在这里,人与自然和谐相处,步步皆美景。

在这里,我们在路上遇到的每一位老师、同学,甚至是环卫,保安,见到我们基本上都会主动问候我们,“morning,how are you,hello”等,让我们感觉特别友好。

而且,不论校园里面还是校园外面,何时何地,我们遇到的人中,只要对方觉得给你造成了不便,他们都会说sorry或者excuse me,哪怕只是很近的从你身旁通过,他们也会表示抱歉。

尤其令我感慨的是,这里的汽车非常礼让,每一位司机都特别文明。

只要有行人过马路,他们都会远远的停下车,让行人先通过,从来不会和行人抢道,并且只要他们过路口不管有没有人和车,司机都会减速甚至停下车观察以后才通过。

晚上,国际交流中心组织我们去看马刺队NBA比赛的时候,我也发现,球场附近的人和车都特别多,但是路上只有比赛场馆那一个路口有交警指挥,路上和场馆附近井然有序。

而且直行车和拐弯车同时通过一个路口时,他们都会主动相让,让对方先通过,丝毫没有抢道的意识,这么多的人和车,竟然让我们没有感到一丝的拥堵,令我吃惊的同时,不得不感叹这里的文明程度。

安检、场馆内拍照等都是按秩序排队,没有任何人去插队,一切按部就班,不论排队队伍多长,所有人都没有显现出焦虑的样子。

食堂用餐也是这样,每个同学都会自觉排队,不论队伍多长,没有任何人插队,每个人都认真遵守规则,礼让他人,一切都是那样的文明和顺畅。

规则第一,文明至上,热情友好,条件优越,这就是给我的赴美研修第一印象。
