[@StylinAzn]

OMG!!! I’m from California now living in Texas but after watching your video, I didn’t realize how Californian my English was!! You are correct when it comes to the California accent because many of the movies and TV shows are made in California! I was living in Oklahoma for a brief moment and I came across this girl working at a bookstore! She sounded so Californian! Being from California I went to talk to her. She was born and raised in Oklahoma! I told her she sounded so Californian! She attributed her accent to watching a lot of TV shows and movies! 😃

Please do not look for any negativity. Eileen Gu said many times she loves both American and China and it probably means everything in-between, that is the world!

[@sigyul2283]

What a remarkable young lady! First time I heard of her. She is a winner wherever she goes and whatever she does. She does not have much accent with her Mandarin, but the way she speaks does not sound native either. Her English and manner is like a typical American teen. Best of luck to her! I will definitely pay special attention to her in the winter game.

[@isaacstone7899]

She born in San Francisco that’s where her home, but I don’t see any problem she decided for China as her represent nation. Same as many other nations born chose as America.

[@scholarssolutions6735]

@@isaacstone7899 Exactly. America has no problem accepting the thousands of people from other countries that make their country stronger. 30-60% of their top scientists are foreign born and raised (depending on the field, some are higher percentage wise than others). America wouldn’t be anywhere near as powerful as they would without immigrants.

Well said. Additionally, those filler words are often seen in tw/teen groups. When they go to workplace, they tend to reduce the filler words, slow down and lower the pitch to sound more professionally. Vice versa, add these filler words and speak faster with rising tone at the end of your sentences to sound more like a teen ager, totally. ;)

[@heidiw3615]

The reasons why Chinese kids or parents don't put effort in sports are basically 1. MONEY (unlike the US, most of the Chinese are less well off, and winter sports are hella expensive); 2. time (education in China is really competitive, and the system doesn't value sports as much); 3. no reason to (like point 2, if it doesn't help in competing for universities, why bother); 4. weather (not many places snow in China. Even if there's snow, the mountains aren't skiable or don't have enough snow).
