Preface
Some time ago, I was eating snacks in the dormitory, and I happened to hear my roommate say that the foreign teacher in the dormitory next door was really handsome, and I realized that it was not that my life was too boring, but that people were not dull and fresh.
Thinking that I had a good relationship with Ranran, I hurriedly sent a WeChat message to ask where she was, but this girl told me that she was on the playground with a foreign teacher and other classmates at this time, and called me over, saying that she had brought a lot of snacks and couldn't finish it.
Hearing her say this, my gossip heart swelled more and more, and I hurried to the playground to meet them.
As soon as she asked what was going on with Ran Ran, her foreign teacher sighed: You Chinese girls are different from what I imagined, in fact, they are really generous~ What's going on, how could a foreign teacher say that?

British foreign teacher
Different from the image of gentleman's restraint in the past, the foreign teacher that night was more easy-going and talked a lot, of course, the topic we talked about was inseparable from the protagonist Ran Ran.
It was also through the perspective of foreign teachers that I learned that many foreign people's impressions of Chinese are wrong and very stereotyped. And the foreign teacher also said that if he hadn't come to China, he would have always thought that Chinese girls were more dull and boring.
After the foreign teacher came to China to become a foreign teacher, he learned that it turned out that Chinese students would actively speak in class, and it was Ran Ran's active speech in class that left a deep impression on him.
He always thought that Chinese students would generally be silent in class, and girls would be more restrained and shy. But I didn't expect that there were also bold and careful children, and the foreign teacher was a little surprised.
And in every class, Ran Ran will speak enthusiastically. As soon as I said this, I remembered that it was true, every time I had a speaking class, Ran Ran would sit in the front row, be proactive, and speak foreign languages better and better.
Secondly, Chinese girls will often ask questions that they don't understand in class, such as pronunciation skills, so that their spoken English will improve at a rapid rate.
I remember a while, when I came back from the cafeteria every day after buying breakfast, when I passed by the grove in front of the dormitory, I could always see the figure of Ran Ran practicing speaking next to the stone bench.
Although Ran Ran has always been a very hard worker, this girl also spent a little effort in order to learn a foreign language. The foreign teacher told me that it was probably because Ran Ran worked really hard that even he was surprised by the change in his spoken language, so the more he asked the questions, the more he was impressed.
In addition, the frequency of oral classes in our class is high, and the foreign teacher thinks that she is a very active and active girl, which is completely different from the outside world's mouth of "Chinese students are very passive".
I was a little surprised that the foreign teacher had such a good impression of Ranran, but when I thought about it, it was all reasonable. That's right, we Chinese students are not only not clumsy and passive, but also smart and active in many cases.
During the sports meeting, everyone upheld the spirit of friendship first and competition second, and gained friendship after friendship; when holding activities, the participants were full of energy, unity and cooperation, and constantly promoted self-improvement; when encountering problems, many people would break the casserole and ask the end, because strong curiosity did not allow Chinese students to remain silent.
The foreign teacher told me that he had never seen the romance of a Chinese girl. In the past, in the UK, European men and women were thought to be the most romantic people in the world.
But I didn't expect that after coming to China as a teacher, in the process of getting to know different students, I saw that many Chinese were very romantic, would spend Valentine's Day with their hearts, birthday parties to create surprises, and even Christmas was very atmospheric and would give gifts.
The foreign teacher said that he still got along well with the Chinese students, and he saw that the students he brought with him were frank and sincere confessions, which touched her boyfriend from the bottom of his heart.
Suddenly, I suddenly felt that Ran Ran was really meticulous, and it was no wonder that a person who demanded the ultimate in everything he did could easily let go of any person or thing he loved.
However, this may indeed make foreign teachers feel novel, after all, traditional Chinese girls are more introverted, and they like to be at ease in everything, and an overly shy attitude will make them behave very reserved. This makes them very passive in terms of feelings, and the outside world thinks that Chinese girls are so passive that it is normal for people to be helpless.
Of course, the foreign teacher also said that in addition to these differences that he personally felt in Ran Ran, he also talked to me about the differences between European and American girls and Chinese girls.
I find this collision of cultures interesting, so I remember it clearly. For example, in terms of body appearance, European and American women are generally tall and plump, but Chinese women give people a feeling of being a bird.
Compared with the former's admiration of freedom, the latter is more family-oriented, and puts family first in everything. In terms of diet, European and American women mainly eat bread, milk, beef and chicken, and are easy to gain weight, but Chinese women prefer Chinese food, like rice, vegetables, various meats and poultry, and their bodies are not easy to lose shape.
However, with the intensification of economic globalization, the differences in diet are becoming smaller and smaller.
In addition, I agree with foreign teachers that European and American women pay attention to living in the present and have advanced consumption concepts, which is probably related to the good social welfare policies of the countries they live in, and the higher income, the consumption level is naturally higher.
In contrast, Chinese women will be more conservative in consumption, they have some shopping plans before consumption, but compared to spending money, everyone prefers to save money, which is related to the fact that behind Chinese women, the social welfare system is not as sound and perfect as in Europe and the United States, in their consciousness, there must be a certain amount of savings and plans in order to cope with unexpected needs.
Having said that, my foreign teacher and I both think that no matter how big the difference between European and American women and Chinese women is, at least one thing is the same, that is, they both like makeup, dressing up and shopping.
It seems that no matter where you are, beauty is the common trait of women, so they will buy their favorite cosmetics, clothes and various accessories in order to achieve their satisfactory look.
Moreover, European and American women and Chinese women all believe that a beautiful self is the truest appearance, and only when a person becomes beautiful can he become confident and become a glamorous and charming woman in the eyes of others......
epilogue
That night, a few of us talked a lot, some of which I don't remember very well, but one thing I am sure of is that foreign teachers in China are really happy, and since I came to China, the foreign language has become better and better, which is a natural thing.
In that department's English comprehensive ability competition, she also won the first place.
Foreign teachers have also gained a lot of different things when they come to China, as many people say, in fact, teachers and students are achieving each other.
