4)It helps to let them know you are Chinese. When one of our students wrote the essay with Chinese examples and submitted it for scoring, the results astounded us. Her essay received a score of 7 despite the fact that it was simply riddled with spelling errors, run-on sentences, and suffered from very poor organization. The reason why the essay was scored so generously is the exact same reason why Chinese people compliment my terrible Mandarin, while they make fun of my Chinese-American friends . The expectations are simply different, and at a small level, that can do much to change your score. Remember these are people doing the grading. They are not machines.
Now, you would be foolish to think that you could simply discuss Chinese examples in your essay in the same way that you could when speaking to people in China. Even for some of the most famous figures in Chinese history you will need to provide some background information before making your point about them. However, that is a simple and easy change to make. Other test prep centers will tell you to shy away from Chinese culture and history. I promise you that it is better to embrace it. You must learn to explain it in a way that resonates with American readers, but never listen to anyone who tells you that Chinese culture and history has no value to Americans. It definitely does!
