Some people believe that your nationality(国籍) 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 are not humorous.
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 humor, or an Australian who is shy and quiet!
