Essay on the difference between Chinese children and foreign children in English

Smoke also seems to make sense. Compared with Chinese students, Chinese American students appear to be sunnier, bolder and more confident; The latter tend to be more silent. The difference is even more pronounced when compared to American students.

Ordinary people speculate that the Chinese are "well-behaved"?Smoking is the result of childhood education: at home, parents emphasize their children's obedience, and over time, "well-behaved" has become a kind of Chinese character.

But if "obedient" is defined as "obedient", it is difficult for Chinese to say that they are really "obedient". There are many rules and regulations in the United States, and Chinese students studying in the United States do not consciously abide by them. For example, the school's common photocopiers indicate that they can only copy work-related documents, while some Chinese students use them to copy personal documents.

Other unwritten rules, such as not checking personal emails during working hours and not calling private **, are not strictly followed by Chinese as well as locals. Outside of campus, the Chinese community is also known for being shrewd and lawless — it's an open secret that Chinese restaurants evade taxes and Chinatown employs illegal immigrants.

In this way, are the people who have been educated in Chinese style well-behaved or not?

Perhaps the key is that the definition and standard of obedience are different. Chinese people pay more attention to interpersonal relationships, and the traditional concept of the legal system is weaker, so the "goodness" that Chinese education is mainly to not offend people in interpersonal interactions, especially not to have a frontal conflict with others; The "well-behaved" of American-style education focuses on obeying the law and respecting mainstream social values. Traditional Chinese children tend to have a strong herd mentality and worry that they are different from others; American children, on the other hand, may dare to express disagreement on specific issues, but they still identify with the mainstream on core values.

It is difficult to say which of these two "well-behaved children" is superior or inferior due to their different circumstances, but children who have been taught to avoid interpersonal conflicts since childhood do not know how to express their different opinions in a polite and appropriate way when they become adults, which is not conducive to working with others. And my cousin, who grew up in the United States, when she was still in kindergarten, had this text in the textbook: When I came to school, my classmates saw that my pen was beautiful and asked if I could give it to him.

I was embarrassed to refuse and gave it to my classmates, and I was very unhappy to go home by myself. The teacher taught that if you are not happy to give it away, just tell the other person that you also like such a beautiful pen, so I am sorry that you can't give it away.

Both China and the United States refer to campuses as "ivory towers", but in comparison, Chinese-style education focuses more on the ideal state, that is, "what reality should be"; American education, on the other hand, is more realistic, telling students more about "what reality is". From this point of view, the Chinese-style "obedient" may sometimes be suspected of avoiding contradictions.

The temperature is one degree of thought.
