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.

Nationalities may affect personalities.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.!
