Some people believe that people from the same country share similar (相似的) characteristics. This is why you might hear someone saying "She is typical(典型的) Australian" or "He is so French". Here are some examples.

French

French people are romantic and outgoing. They have great love for life, food and wine. They are good at singing and dancing.

Chinese

Chinese are friendly and hard-working people. They are polite because they are careful about "saving face" when they are with other people.

Australians

Australians are happy people. They 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 serious and careful. They are hard workers and do everything carefully. However, sometimes people say Germans have no sense of humour.

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!

What is DIY? Why do many people like it?

Yang Chen works for a computer company(公司) in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is not easy for him to relax after work. One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not make them myself? Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. Soon he has great interest in it because it brings him lots of fun and makes life colourful. So what is DIY? Yes, it is making things on your own, with your own hands. It may take much time, but some people enjoy doing it very much. They enjoy it because it is fun. And they also say it helps them save money too. What’s more, they think it is a good way to protect the environment(環(huán)境). It is a kind of green life.

In fact, DIY is not a modern thing in China. Many people remember when it was once a way of life in the past. During the 1960s and the 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. If you wanted something you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something, you made it yourself.

On May 5，2017, China’s home-made passenger aircraft(飛機(jī)）C919 completed its 90-minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai.

C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4,075 and 5, 555 kilometers. It’s reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world’s narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035.

The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both “COMAC” and “China”. The number 9 is pronounced as jiu in Chinese, which means “forever”. And the number 19 refers to its capacity(容量) of 190 passengers.

The large passenger aircraft is praised as “the flower of modern industry”. It is a symbol of the nation’s industrial and technological standards as well as the comprehensive(綜合的) power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy(戰(zhàn)略) of the nation, COMAC bears the nation’s dream and people’s trust. China considers it as a national pride.

A. Boeing B. a Thai aircraft company
