American behavior VS Taiwanese behavior

American behavior and Taiwanese behavior are totally different. In my country, PEOPLE think the way that American behave is pretty cool. Right now, I am going to analyze the difference of activities, girls, teachers.

First, Americans are lot more active than Taiwanese, especially when they go out with friends. For an example, people watch movies and dance together, everybody is pretty high at the moment. In the US people don’t seem close to each other and have fun together, even if they haven’t known each other for a long time. However, in Taiwan you will never find the scene of this. Taiwanese just normally go to movie theater, then find a restaurant and that is it. People usually don’t stick that close to each other unless they have known each other for a long time.

            Second, Americans girls come from many different cultures, but in Taiwan girls are mostly just Taiwanese. Therefore, the girls in the US are more talkative and open. Sometimes, in the US, aboy can hang out in a girl’s room. They can touch each other and talk about whatever they want, but this doesn’t mean they are boyfriend and girlfriend. However, in Taiwan if a boy goes to a girl’s room, that means he is her boyfriend or they have a very close relationship.

            Finally, the teachers have different behaviors. In the US, teachers don’t write a lot of notes on the board. They talk about lots of information or make students discuss in groups, Also, the students in the US are more independent and responsible for themselves. However, in Taiwan the teacher is very boring. The teacher will write a lot of notes on the board, and the students have to copy and memorize it. This way of education is not helpful at all. Also, students are more depend on the notes that teacher give them.

            Overall, I prefer American behavior more than Taiwanese behavior. In Taiwanese culture, people always worry about that others will think about them. However, in the US everybody is more open and confident about their behavior. In this point, I think that is why many parents from around the world want to send their kids to study in the States. Not just language, the behavior is very helpful too. I hope I can learn more here, and I truly believe I will be successful in the future!
