The welfare state

There are all countries having the welfare state, but the diference is that how many citizen can get the welfare state. In the UK the welfare state looks after all its citizens who are in need, however, In China welfare do not look after all the citizen , they only protect the people who pay the charges when the people are working.
In UK, it has a special department called Department of Work and Pensions agencies. This department help people when they are old which got 65 years old or lost their jobs, but people still need to pay the taxation when they are working. Morover, NHS also plays an important part to take care of people's healthy.
However, the significant difference between UK and China is the range of the social security system covered. In China, the social security system has not perfect enough and just cover those people who work for the government and the national enterprises and affairs organisation such as education system and hospital rather than all citizens.
Accordingly, there are some different and similar welfare between two county.Due to the developing situation, the government give the suitable items for citizens. Every conouties could develop their welfare state in future.

Education between UK and China

There is a obvious difference is the school terms between UK and China.In UK ,there are 3 terms and holidays each year. I like it, because it will make me having more time to relax during the study. In China, there are only two terms and holiday. Although we have long holiday, it still have more homework must to do. It makes us unhappy and uncomfortable during two holidays.
The other different education is the method of teaching. Before studying in university, student must remember a lot of knowledge and principle and have little thinking about it in China. But there is another teaching method in UK, student will think a lot of knowledge and try to practise it.
There is also a similarity that both UK and China have the same examition which provide access to further and higher educaion.Before entrance university, most student must pass a importent examination something like "A" level in UK .
Education is always the main part of our living and making us have more viability in the social.

At the noon, Britishman have the sandwich or bacon and chips for lunch. there is another situation in China, people cook a lot in their family.The food will be cooked lots of kinds and ate by families.
In the supper, it is very similar to lunch.In addition to lunch, i t will cooked more than lunch, because all families will sit by table after work.
