1．Recently，I asked some of my American friends what Chinese people are like．They used the words such as smart，hard-working，serious，conservative （保守的） and"a little bit like robots．"They also said Chinese was the most difficult language to learn．
To me，these sounded like stereotypes（成见）．
First of all，not all Chinese people have high IQs．Chinese students are hard-working and do well in American schools，so many Americans think Chinese people are smart．But scientists say there is no connection between race（种族）and intelligence（智力）．
Second，not all Chinese people are conservative．If you walk down a Chinese street，you'll see that people don't all wear dark colors and long sleeves（袖子）．These days，more and more Chinese people like to wear clothes that show their personalities（个性）．
Third，Chinese people are not serious and not like robots outside work or school．They are active．They have many hobbies and do many activities．They live a colorful life．
Last，Chinese isn't the most difficult language to learn in the world．In fact，the grammar of Chinese is easier than that in many languages．Also，there are 50，000characters（汉字） in Chinese，but knowing 2，000to 3，000words is enough to read newspapers and books．
