Original:

Today I read an article about Chinese girls from the north, and from the south.  We can call them “northern girls” and “southern girls”.  It is said in the article that northern girls are brave and vibrant who can make a lot of cuisines for lunch or for meal and drink with her boyfriend.  If her boyfriend fight with somebody they can help them.  Regarding the southern girls, they who are shy and gentle.  If they watch a horror movie with her boyfriend they must be frightened by the content.  Anyway this article is very interesting to tell the difference between them and enlarge their difference to make some fun.

Must:  they have to

Ex:  must be frightened = she has to be frightened, she has no other choice.

Will:  will be frightened = it’s possible that she will be frightened.

Make some fun – to poke fun at them/ to make fun of them

They can make a lot of dishes in a meal – They are very good at cooking/ They always make a lot of food for each meal/ They always make too much food for each meal

They always make too much food for each meal, and can drink with their boyfriends.  This is different compared to the girls from other parts of China who can’t drink too much.

Ex:  When comparing this to the other girls of china, this is different.  Usually the girls cannot drink too much.

Ex:  This is different if comparing northern girls to the other girls in China, who usually cannot drink too much.
