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.
