After that Zhu added: 怎样和老外交朋友

来这的中国人在我看来都有一个共同的目的 - 那就是想和老外交个朋友，可以提高自己的英文水平。 故此我写个帖子大概有也就有个目的了。

我们应该怎样去和老外交朋友呢？

1）不要意图太明显，不要太直接了，上来就发贴“我要找老外”。有老外也被你的坦帅吓着了。应该本着一个平和的心，热心的帮助别 人，处处留下你热情的身影。老外想不被你吸引也难啊。记住让老外喜欢你才是最重要的。

 

2）和人交朋友都一个道理，你不帮助别人，别人凭啥要帮你？你总是说我要学英语，希望老外能帮你，你说你可以教他汉语，但是有什 么用呢？在中国的老外他很容易就能找到一个人教他汉语，不在中国的老外他们并没打算学习中文。

所以每当我看到不少同学发贴说，我教他汉语，他交我英文。事实上这个可能性是很小的。 如果想提高口语建议还是多去高校的英语角。

 

3）建议来到这里的同学，多看看别人的帖子，多用文字去和别人交流。本论坛常来的老外还是有很多的。大家应该学习怎样用文字去和 别人交流。只要你热心的发贴，就某个话题发表你自己的看法，就会有很多人去相应的。

 

4）不要在乎你的语法，不要在乎你的拼写错误，脸皮得厚一点，怕什么呢，在网络上没人看得见你的脸。 就是用单词堆起来的句子，你又何必在意呢，因为你的目的就是让别人看懂就行了。多做几次，多看看其他人写的，你很快就在无形中掌 握了语法，表达规则。一切都自然形成的，不用刻意去控制。

在本论坛置顶的帖子里面有Tbone(From Puerto Rico )发表的关于和老外交朋友的看法，一个老外看中国人的看法。

......
希望大家快乐的相处在China Corner。

学习英语 / Sweet memories (I miss you guys! If you find this let me know!)

« on: December 11, 2016, 03:36:39 AM »

I hope this thread may be useful for the English learners from China (中国) and for the English learners around the world!!! I'll post posts of people, who participated in an already non-existing Chinese-English forum. I miss you guys, I hope you may find this some day and let me know you're still online, you're still alive and you're still doing well! I love this new community here, but I can't stop miss that old one, too!

So, let us start it:

Today we'll read a topic about "About making foreign friends".

Tbone
Da jia hao: 
I will take my chance here and try to type what I think about making foreign friends.  It is just my opinion and nobody else has to agree with me, but living in this part of the world, at my age, I’d like to share some things I’ve learned, good and bad.
We already know the difference in culture between Asia and America.  I believe the personality of people has to do mostly with 2 things: The genes that person born with, and the “way he/she is raised”.  People in Asia are raised in a more cultural way than the American way.  In my opinion is more polite. Although, there is “good and bad” anywhere. What I’m trying to say here is, that American people are more aggressive than Asian people.  As I wrote in another posting, this aggressiveness is due to what we are seeing  at the movies, television and now the Internet. For a kid who is growing under these influences, being aggressive is the normal way of acting in real life. So to make the story short, here in America people “learn” to be aggressive in every way, not to mention the ways to make money.  And sometimes aggressive to the point which is “violent”, because being aggressive towards life is a good thing almost always.
For the Chinese guys who are trying to make foreign friends (specially girls), there are 2 or 3 basic things girls like in a man, (this is not a rule, or an absolute considering that there are no 2 persons exactly equal in every aspect, including identical twins, but rather by experience, both personal and for what I’ve seen in other cases.
-----------0-----------
1. Girls like men who are very secure of themselves. I mean, they like guys who know what they want, and in this sense aggressive, most of the time these guys have initiative. For this same reason, many women like business men, because “almost always” (not absolute) business men have a good initiative, they don’t “wait” for things to come, they go for it. So in this sense, girls like men who “go for them”. And as we also know, behind business there is money, but I’m not going to comment on this, because I believe being friends have nothing to do with money.  People who “make friends looking forward to make money are not real friends”. Money in the pocket is their friend as the saying goes. So we can be a bit nervous when meeting a girl but never show like you don’t know what to do or where to go. Girls don’t like that.  On the other hand girls like men who are “fast” but not anxious, they have different meaning. Being fast is being effective, being anxious is to be nervous or to have fear and girls note this very quick. When we are effective other people see us like a secure person. If you are afraid at some point, don’t worry, every person in this world is afraid of something, just try to relax. Relaxing is also good to our health, and looks better than fear.
Maybe we are afraid of a bad experience, or just because “we think” something bad could happen. Guys, past and future “do not exist” just work in the present time it is the only real thing, work now and don’t let your mind go in a travel to the past or the future, it just doesn’t work. So try to keep present all the time which is present in itself. Don’t confuse being aggressive with “telling others what to do” making others to be afraid of you is not the same than gain people’s respect (honor). We can give advice in trying to help someone else but “never command what to do”. So at the bottom line, girls like to feel they are “protected by a secure man”.
2. Almost every girl like men who has “a good sense of humor”.  Again, “almost always” a guy who has a sense of humor is a smart guy. And most girls find this to be very sexy (hehe - keep this a secret). Another good thing is that “almost always” a person who has a good sense of humor is not an abusive person. Maybe some women like serious guys but that is not the rule. Many more women like humorous men. And going further, humorous men that know when to be serious and effective.
3. This point is rather the negative aggressiveness, which some women happen to like also. We can find every kind of people in this world, with very weird ways of thinking and acting but this can be a completely different topic to be studied alone. As I said before, violence is becoming more and more our daily bread. Nowadays, at least in this part of the world, (I don’t know about Asia) many girls like violent guys, only to note at the end that they are victims of violence. It is like a running virus. Perhaps this is happening as a vicious circle, because the street is so violent, these girls need violent men on their side in order to feel protected. But well,  I don’t think this is our interest here. What we want to do is make friends not enemies.  On the other hand girls don’t care about your pain in the stomach, or your pities. At the bottom line and this is a personal opinion, both extremes are bad. Being too hard or too soft. We need to have elements of both sides to build a good friendship.
It is not a matter of being good looking or ugly, it is a matter of how a person feel being with you.
As a personal note: Guys be effective and kind with girls. I think Mao Tse Dong said:
- women are the real power of society �C I’m not sure if Mao said that, but I believe it.
By the way, I recommend the movie Unleashed with Jet Li, this movie shows both sides of the coin. Great movie… Have fun guys/girls.

Hi,Tbone:


The first I have moved your topics from  "reply" to special topics. This is  wonderful  topics, very wonderful. thanks your share your opinion with us that

We can get what's foreigner thinking about this problem.

 

We already know the difference in culture between Asia and America.  I believe the personality of people has to do mostly with 2 things: The genes that

person born with, and the “way he/she is raised”.  People in Asia are raised in a more cultural way than the American way.  In my opinion is more polite.

Although, there is “good and bad” anywhere. What I’m trying to say here is, that American people are more aggressive than Asian people.  As I wrote in

another posting, this aggressiveness is due to what we are seeing  at the movies, television and now the Internet. For a kid who is growing under these

influences, being aggressive is the normal way of acting in real life. So to make the story short, here in America people “learn” to be aggressive in every

way, not to mention the ways to make money.  And sometimes aggressive to the point which is “violent”, because being aggressive towards life is a good

thing almost always.


agree, There are many difference culture in world. asia,america and etc. maybe There are hundreds culture in the world(every country). As you said "good and bad" theory. The American people are more aggressive than Asian people. and Asian are more focus on "team work". for examples korean football team. -:)
also I like America movies - hero story movies. for examples: Sylvester Stallone,Arnold Schwarzenegger and etc.

 


For the Chinese guys who are trying to make foreigner friends (specially girls), there are 2 or 3 basic things girls like in a man, (this is not a rule, or

an absolute considering that there are no 2 persons exactly equal in every aspect, including identical twins, but rather by experience, both personal and for

what I’ve seen in other cases.

 

Specially girls: I have to say something here. What's real reason of Chinese girls want to make friends with foreigner?

1)Fresh and exciting.  if somebody has a foreigner friends,It should be very cool. I think so.
2)money.  As we know the most Chinese are not rich,special for countryside of China and the west of China.The people always think the foreigner are all rich.
3)learning. Somebody just want to learning more from foreigner.
4)marriage. Maybe somebody want to get oversea marriage.

The above is just my personal opinion.  :-), Maybe I not right.

Hi,Tbone:

You have told us about the "girls". What's your opinion about "boy"? As We know, We  often meet some  guys at CC who said "I want to make friends with foreigner". and leave a MSN name or email address.  after some days. The boy was disappeared and not login CC anymore. .

 

So. Can you talk something about how to make forum friends and give a guideline for these girls and boys?

 
Howard, thanx for your confidence and for asking me about this. To be honest I prefer to make friends with girls because they are more sensitive than guys. Not that I don't have male friends here because I have some. They have proved to me that they are sincere and real friends. But on the Internet a person is not always "who he says he is".

I really believe that here in CC there are a couple of persons who have created hundreds of profiles with different names but they are the same person. I think they also create a false profile in hotmail just to get some information from you or me or anybody else but they are not real friends. Don't ask me how I know that, I just feel it. I could be wrong too.

When you find a real friend you can feel his/her sincerity. I always ask for a photo of the person, when I chat with them, if they start to get excuses for not showing a picture, or they just don't give any personal iformation, there is a big probability that person is not who he says he is. What I'm trying to say is that people who want to make friends they show you sincerity and they are honest from the very beginning.

Going back to people who retire and you don't see them any more. Not everybody is the same, and no1 is perfect. Like the case of our friend Ricb, nobody have seen him again since a long time. He is a great friend, but maybe he has to work so much that doesn't have the time to be on the Internet.

Another point is the difference in time between China and America, sometimes makes it hard to communicate, because when one is resting at home the other part is working. So in this case I prefer to let people work in peace not having me bugging and interrupting their work.

Skype is another great tool to communicate, but only on weekends because of the same reason as above, time difference.

I can tell you about me. I'm always the same way, what you see (or read) from me is what you get. I just try to speak my mind. When I find a "real friend" I just feel the "click" between the person and me, because the friendship goes very smooth. Time will show if the person is a real friend.

About the girls I think you are correct. And money has a lot to do with this because as I wrote in another posting, compared to RMB the american dollar is bigger, but no, all americans are not rich. Some of us have to work very hard to get a "small" salary, but there are other topics here about this. I really think this is going to change soon because Chinese money keeps going up and up.

I have to go to sleep now, so later on we can continue to post here... Happy friendship to all of us...

Yes. I must let this topics continue.... :=) It's real realy good topics for communicate the difference culture between the difference time area.


I like this sentence: "who he says he is". :-( .  The first I think the "sincere" is the best important. and then "warmhearted"...


Like the case of our friend Ricb, nobody have seen him again since a long time. He is a great friend, but maybe he has to work so much that doesn't have the time to be on the Internet.

Yes. I know this guys Ricb. Actually, We have not seen him for a loong time. and Redfort,kwengirl,Whiteboy.. Oh, I can remember everything about this guys...  Really, I'm very hope meet these guys again.


I really believe that here in CC there are a couple of persons who have created hundreds of profiles with different names but they are the same person. I think they also create a false profile in hotmail just to get some information from you or me or anybody else but they are not real friends. Don't ask me how I know that, I just feel it. I could be wrong too.
How to make foreigners friends? I hope Chinese guys take a guideline from this topics. 

Nick
Good Evening Gentlemen,

I happen to be one of those individuals who does not get to log on to CC very often.  I happen to be one of those individuals that work extremely hard, and wishes I had more time to be in this forum.

I wanted to comment on a few of the discussion points above.

 I simply have to agree with TBone.  Being an American, I see and witness aggresiveness every day.  And it is also very true that it has everything to do with how you are raised.

I personnally guided my children through every aspect of their lives, from the time they were born, and even today, I offer only my opinion, simply because they are grown.  However, my son is a Secondary Education Math Teacher, and my daughter is in her third year of Radiology School.

Unfortunately, there are far to many parents here in the US that believe once their children are in school, they are no longer their responsibility. And once they return home, they really don't engage their children with homework.  Many simply ask if the schoolwork is done.  With a "Yes" answer, the kids are off playing with friends, or sitting in front of so called "violent" video game and/or watching violent movies.

After school activities are paramount to socaializing the younger generation.  We spent countless hours taking the kids to school functions.  Were we tired after a long day at work? Absolutely!!!  But the kids, they take presedence.  You have no choice, they are your children.  You had them.......now parent them!!!

Making foreign friends is another great topic for discussion.  In a prior post, I commented that I made several friends simply by joining this forum.  Even today, I continue to chat with several of my new friends.  I can only thank those that put this website together for that!!!  What I find most amazing is how many individuals have actually read my post.  What is even more amazing is how many people contacted me from China.  I have had the opportunity to travel to many places in this world.  With out a doubt, the Chinese are simply most gracious and friendly people to know.  I cannot wait to return to china to meet some of them in person.  By the way, the ages range from 24 to 51, and both genders.

Lets talk about personal characteristics.

I happen to have two of the three.  I am completely confident, as well as having this "Sense of Humor".  I used both when I engaged everyone I came in contact with when in Shanghai last October.  Do the women pick up on this? Definately.  But so did the men.  Did I do this to gain any advantage? No.  It is simply who and what is part of my personna!!!

Violence is a characteristic of someone with weak or very low self-esteem.  Somehow, somewhere, someway, most violent people became violent due to circumstances beyond their control. Human nature is to live in harmony with other humans!!!

Ok, now lets talk about money.

Am I a wealthy man? No.  Do I live comfortable? Yes.  However, it is without question, things are not all that good here right now.  Nor is it all that great globally.  There are literally millions of Americans that have lost their jobs over the last few years as well as their homes.  Why?  Because most tried to live beyond their means.  Large lavish homes, expensive cars, and verly large credit debt.

When all of the major corporations decided to do business overseas, the jobs went with them.  It was only a question of time before we could no longer afford to keep up and pay for everything without jobs.  Many Americans get angry at other people in other countries and blame them for their peril.  I kindly remind them that these people have nothing to do with you loosing your job.  The corporations took that work overseas because there was huge profits for them by manufacturing goods eleswhere.  It was only a matter of time before we could no longer buys the items that were manufactured eleswhere.  Even today, places such as China are feeling that same affect.  There is not as much manufacturing leaving China, because a significant portion of Americans can no longer afford to purchase things without jobs.

Even today, being an employee of a major US automotive compnay, I consistantly wonder if I will have a job by the end of the year.  As a matter of fact, I am in constant communication with my friend Yu Zhang.  We are attempting to create a business to supply my company car parts, simply in case I loose my job.

But here is the difference between me and almost every American business owner.

If Yu Zhang and I were to become successful and have an operation in China, most Americans would simply pocket every bit of money they make, and not share it with those that actually did the work.  I, on the other hand feel completely different.  What better way could you show those working for you, making your business successful, that you appreciate them without sharing in the profits.  I can only imagine and hope that one day, prior to the National Day week off, I can call each and every employee into an office, and hand them a little red evelope with extra money in it to enjoy with family.  Gee, I'm not even sure if something like that violates tradition or protocols in China.

Well, I believe I've said plenty here.  At least the two of you have a better idea of who Nick is and what he believes in.

Have a graet day and be safe!!!

Nick

Tbone
Nice post Nick. I'm glad you came back and wrote this. Keep it up bro.

Hi Tbone,

I'm good to go until winter semester starts in January.  Then I'm back studying the next Chinese class.  At that point, between work and class, I'll be off the grid for a while!!!    I can barely keep up right now!!! 

Thanks for the response!!!

Nick

Tbone
Hello Nick,

Bu yong xie... I'm very glad you still studying chinese. That's cool... I keep studying by myself also, it is hard but not impossible. Thanx for taking the time to drop a few lines here...You are always welcome here dude... 

Howard.Zhu
That's right. I always say"Hi,Tbone, come here, The best way of learning Chinese is go to China,you need this language envirnoment,In China, everybody speak Chinese",haha.

Tbone
hehe... That is funny Howard, but so true. I wish I could be there right in this moment.

Nick
Howard, what do I say to your comment above???  You're killin me!!!    That is exactly what I intend on doing!!!  However, I cannot get work to send me!!!

You would think that someone with the title of "Global Commercial Component Coordinator" for a major automotive manufacturer might get back to China, a bit more often!!!

Well, if they don't send me soon, I'm thinking i may have to find an employer that will!!!! 

Have a great week,

Nick

Howard.Zhu
Well, I think you guys great and get a job here easily. you can be a teacher,or work for translation service provider.

Hi I have been living in new york for 3 years, and I dont have many chances to talk with English-speaking people. I am a journalist of a Chinese language newspaper now. I want to make a friend with you so I can practise my English while you may learn Chinese.It's good for us if you live in Flushing or Mahattan, because I usually work and study between these two boroughs.

为什么个个都是说英语不说中文的？

关于“为什么个个都是说英语不说中文的？”： 因为这是一个OMNILOGY的(包括对外宣传中国文化的）网站，供中国人和外国人交流的，当然以英文为主，但是在中文讨论区也是可以用中文交流的，比如中国文化，中国历史，吃喝玩乐等版面都是可以用中国交流的地方。

To you, Ren:

翻译：

人无远虑，必有近忧：

If you don't make plan for the future,you will have trouble soon.

The one who can not take the future for considered must fall into trouble soon.

A person is subject to either long-term concerns or short-term troubles.

Whoever doesn't plan for the future has worries in the present.

Near sight, near danger.

Failure to plan ahead will cause trouble close by.

以上是我通过互联网搜索得来的，我觉得“Near sight,near danger”比较简洁明了。你也可以参考其他的。

« on: December 11, 2016, 01:15:08 AM »

Not only abnormal, but also with lack of skills to earn money well from their huge content and their traffic. It's shameful to have so many traffic + contnent and to be in need for money for your successful website.

Some good news for us here! We're older than voat.co and we're with better moderation (no evil, no bad, no crazy content here), but we're still less popular than that terrible website. And here comes the optimistic info for all of us! I saw a website which has only around 5000~6000 posts (articles) and I think it has only 1 (or few) people who work on it BUT it has much more traffic (visitors, readers) than voat.co! The second part is that I (and some other friends and colleagues) found some nearly great ideas about what to post and develop here, so I think we also may got more popularity than voat.co! I'll be proud, if this comes true!

Social network | SEO - Social network / Why NOT TO advertise, donate and purchase (buy) on/to/from Voat.co

« on: December 08, 2016, 10:05:25 AM »

Why NOT TO advertise, donate and purchase/buy on/to/from Voat.co

According to our moral values, our sense of justice and our sane mind, it's a bad idea to pay money to voat.co (Atko and PuttItOut. Atko is the Bosnian Muslim Atif Colo).

We already explained a lot about why NOT TO advertise on voat.co.
 

Why now we're reminding you not to advertise on, donate to and buy/purchase from voat.co

The reason is that (as we informed you already there) recently they (the Bosnian Muslim 'Atko' and that 'PuttItOut') are begging the voaters (the voat.co's visitors and members) for more money again!
PuttItOut announced a few days ago that "Voat Merchandise Available!" (their subdomain store.voat.co) and he explained that voat.co has not finalized financing. (This means they are 'ENTIRELY user supported', and this is where things get serious: if they can't sustain operation costs via donations, ads and merchandise then their 'runway is limited'. And by purchasing voat.co merchandise you help in 2 very important ways: It helps keep voat.co running, and secondly you're helping voat.co with grassroots marketing (guerrilla marketing). Both are critical to our community’s future.
The Bosnian Muslim (Atif Colo, aka 'Atko') 12-13 days ago made his 'A public call for funding', where he publish that Voat.co gets money 'primarily' from the voaters' donations and ad-sales, but ad-sales have so far been unable to cover the expenses (donations and ads combined can no longer cover voat.co's hosting fees). They don’t want to change what voat.co 'stands for' or voat.co's 'core principles', and thus they need 'your help' (i.e. they need more and more your and others money!). If you have contacts or relationships with potential investors who also believe in and support their 'Freedom of Speech' commitment (which is fake and we explain it many times here in seo-forum-seo-luntan), 'please let us know and please let them know that we need their help'. (And until they have a permanent solution, they need you to donate, buy ads and merchandise...)

NOW about the so called 'Free Speech' on voat.co -- It's fake. (Don't forget that they're banning a lot of websites even AGAINST THEIR OWN RULES; Don't forget that 'Fat People Hate' bans and silences many people too, also against the 'Free speech' declared by voat.co!). See this post of a person nicked 'SaneGoatiSwear':

[–] SaneGoatiSwear -2 points (+8|-10) 1.3 days ago  (edited 1.3 days ago)
Free Speech *
except for the following:

-ccp account restrictions, accounts with -ccp have massive restrictions

-posting restrictions. post sub timing restrictions per hour and per day and not faster than every 30 seconds

-voting restrictions. 0.5 votes per 1 ccp in 24 hours,

- - all on ALL accounts,

- - and even greater restrictions on new accounts and generally on accounts other people haven't upvoated much

- - and certain topics will get you admin-approved downvoat and shill brigade against you... and more!

- - and the admins say more on the way!!

voat has freeze peach not free speech

(taking your comment because downvoat brigade's trying to silence me lol)

permalink  parent  save  source  reply  report spam

Once again this is why NOT TO advertise, donate and purchase (buy) on voat.co, to voat.co and from voat.co. Well, it's up to you anyway; we don't (and we can't) press anybody to give them money or not to give them money. You're free people and you decide how to spend and how to respect your money!
