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!
