plan your route in advance

avoid short cuts that involve alleyways or walking across parks or commons unless they are well-lighted

if you're carrying a bag, try to have it across your chest and keep your hand over the fastening

be aware of your surroundings and stay alert to what’s going on around you

be careful with your electronics; talking on a mobile phone, listening to an MP3 player or carrying a laptop bag shows thieves that you have something to steal

don't carry important documents or credit cards that you do not need

avoid using cash machines at night

only take your wallet out when you need to

if you think you are being followed, cross the road or go into a shop and stay there until you're sure you're safe

‘Knife crime’ is any crime that involves a knife.

In China, steal is most common. Usually pickpocket will steal people's cell phone wallet which it in your pocket or bag on the road. Some times it will be a group steal together.

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE

The first time he gave blood was 17years old, until to now he had given 41pints blood. He said that when he went to give blood, he felt that his blood could help other people, might could save someone's life. His mother told him to learn fight.when he do boxing he could see many different people and see many people need to given blood.


The firstlly is taking care of you and your family's health. Second is ostomy service and disability aids. In the end that is lifestyle advice.  Pharmacy dispened robot could drop the medicine fall down and carry it to GP, it giant to improving service and looking up all the people' opportunities




Almost people who accepted interview did not know they could choose which hospital. In fact, since April 2008, UK people can choose which hospital they like to go. If their local hospital have a long wait line they can choose other hospital which they may not waiting for long time.

The Welfare System

Jobseeker’s Allowance is the main benefit for people of working age who are out of work or work less than 16 hours a week on average. If you're eligible, it is paid while you're looking for work. Find out more, including how to apply online.




There are two separate amounts, with a higher amount for your eldest (or only) child. You get £20.30 a week for your eldest child and £13.40 a week for each of your other children.




Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining qualifications and workplace experience. As an employee, you can earn as you learn and you gain practical skills from the workplace.




UK welfare system is better than China. Because Chinese population is so huge, government dont have enough  money to run the system and look after all the people. So some times its a very strange thing, government will do that for rich man not poor man.Their reason is rich man can pay tax, this is the Welfare system's money that where is it from. I think it is bad thing for poor man..

newspaper

Broadsheet newspapers have longer average word length than tabloid newspaper. Broadsheet newspaper use a more lots of style of language. It can not be avoided use the modern English language. I believe that the articles in a broadsheet newspaper will have a higher average long word tabloids newspaper. Although tabloid do contain some long words in would only a small part of the long words broadsheet content. I also think the longest word counted will be found in the broadsheet newspaper. Maybe the broadsheets will have a longer average world length.

TV

I likes watch British TV program. SKY sports and Channel 4 is my best love TV Channels. As you know, I am a crazy fan for football. So every weekend I will go to a pool club watch some football matches. Last week, I and my friends Jie, How and Big Bird watched a  European champion league match. It's Tottenham against AC Milan. I'm Tottenham's fan, and I got a perfect result. Tottenham won the first round.

Usually I will watch channel 4 TV programs. Because this channel's TV series is very interesting. Such as This is England 86, Skins, Misfits and so on. When I was in China, I always watch these TV series on line. Cause when I watch it, I can know something about UK young people's culture, I can learn my speaking and listening. A very important point, I can learning how to understand different accents. I'm very very love it.

Sports in UK

We know football is very popular in UK. The England football team have a huge number of fans in the world. Going to Wembley Stadium is every football fans' dream.

However, different from football, there are some unusual sports in UK, such as Cheese-Rolling. Every year, it will holding at Cooper's Hill. Every player need to catch the spacial cheese and racing down from the top. I think it is very dangerous. Because it is always led to injuries.

In China, we have some unusual sports too. For example Tug of War. Tug of War needs a rope and tow team. Every team needs 15 or 20 people. Each team will draw a white line on their area and tied a red flag in the middle of rope. Finally, the team who can put red flag pulling over their white line is winner.

The Monarchy

I I learnt some information about Royal Family. Royal Family is symbol of Britain.Everyone knew Elizabeth II and her son prince of Wales Charles. I need to say what is I know about Charles.

His ex-wife was Diana. But their marriage was not happy. Finally they were broken up at 1996. Then he was fall in love with Camilla again, and married with her at 2006.

Charles very interesting about hunting and horsemanship. Every year he always will go to Scotland for hunting. As the same time, he also care about environment, building, city developing, art and something about how to increasing people's life. For example he had a Charities called The prince's charities. This charities will help someone just like artists and someone who didn't have job. They will give these people a chance.

I think he will be a great king when he become a king of UK. Because he always pay attention for people's life.

Merry Christmas

I'm very glad to meet my all the teachers and classmates in Glamorgan.

The best wishes for all of you.

Jeanette thanks for you let me know something about UK. Have a nice holidays.

Different education between UK and China

Education in China and the United Kingdom is mainly reflected differences in the university's system.

In China, we need studying four years, but in UK, just three years. If you wanna studying master, in China, we need three years, in UK just one year. That means we  learning all the knowledges in three years from China, we need learning in UK spend one year. I think that's why Chinese students studying in UK feeling difficult.

China and Britain are also in teaching methods are very different. In China, totally is teacher told students what is point, what is question we will meeting at exam. The British students studying entirely on their own, you need a lot of time reading different books in the library.That is why most Chinese students learning ability is not high.

In marking the two countries have different.In China, you just pass or fail. And in UK, you can pass ,but have different pass level.

Government

The Government is led by the Prime Minister, who selects the other members of the Government. The Prime Minister and the other most senior Ministers belong to the supreme decision-making committee, known as the Cabinet

Under the UK constitution, executive authority lies with the monarch. This authority is exercised only by, or on the advice of, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet. The Cabinet members advise the monarch as members of the Privy Council. They also exercise power directly as leaders of the Government Departments.

The Government Ministers are usually all members of Parliament, and are accountable to it. The Government is dependent on Parliament to make primary laws, The monarch selects the Prime Minister as the leader of the party most likely to command a majority in Parliament

The British Parliament utilises the Westminster System, a parliamentary democracy which remains to this day the most widely used system of politics in the world. Most nations that practice the Westminster System are Commonwealths or former Commonwealths of the Commonwealth of Nations

I think this year the government made a wrong decision, that is Icrease tuition fees. Last week so many students held a large demonstration, finally they conflict with policeman. Its so terrible. I think the government need whats the problem in this roit. Maybe they need reconsider this foolish decision.

Parliament

The Parliament of the United Kingdom is the supreme legislative body in theUnited Kingdom and British overseas territories. Parliament alone possesses legislative supremacy and thereby ultimate power over all other political bodies in the UK and its territories. At its head is the Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II.

The parliament is bicameral, with an upper house, the House of Lords, and a lower house, the House of Commons.

The Gunpowder Plot

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in earlier centuries often called the Gunpowder Treason Plot, was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Sir Robert Catesby.

The plan was to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament on 5 November 1605, as the prelude to a popular revolt in the Midlands during which James's nine-year-old daughter, Princess Elizabeth, was to be installed as the Catholic head of state.

Although anti-Catholic legislation was introduced soon after the plot's discovery, many important and loyal Catholics retained high office during King James I's reign. The thwarting of the Gunpowder Plot was commemorated for many years afterwards by special sermons and other public events such as the ringing of church bells, which have evolved into the Bonfire Night of today.

Halloween

October 31 each year is traditionally a festival of Halloween Eve, children will be put on make-up evening clothes, put on a mask, door to door collection of candy. Festival is mainly popular in the English sector, followed bu Australia and New Zealand.

In UK, every place has its own characteristics, and has own activities. But pumplin is representative of Halloween. Two apples or nuts, on behalf of a pair of lovers, all side by side on the side of the fire. If they are in the south of England, "popular music and flying," love is real, but if they burn together, the couple will be partly. In northern England and Scotland exactly the reverse is predicted.

In addition, Scotland has small objects hidden in the potato champit tatties bowl foreseen in the coming year will bring. A spoonful of each individual, their fate is the charm in them show up

The European Union

Britain joined the European Union have six advantage: Firstly, the possibility of increased specialization. To achieve economics od scale, that economy brings the EU companies in the international market to complete more effectively.
Secondly, in a larger market, greater competition to produce greater efficiency.
Thirdly, the EU countries to enjoy economies of scale and increased competition, it can produce faster growth.
Fourth, there are important political interests.
Fifth, the UK is the European Union, and a stable political background, it can attract investment, especially the US and Japan.
Sixth, it can the poorer of EU regions or the world's least developed countries to help.

While the disadvantages are direct contribution to the EU budget, the Common agricultural policy duo to rising food prices, the increased cost of manufacturing goods, services lack of competitiveness, and cumbersome procedures.

Overall, the UK joining the EU have advantages and disadvantages

The Four Nations

Ireland also have some famous bands, such as The pogues and U2. But I dont like U2. Bono is so stupid, I think. The pogues is great!

Irish pepole just like Welsh pepole, they are friendly too. 

Princess Margaret

She was the younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II and the younger daughter of King George VI and his wife Queen Elizabeth.

During World War II, the two sisters stayed at Windsor, despite government pressure to evacuate to Canada. During the war years, Margaret was not expected to perform any public or official duties, and instead continued her education. After the war, she fell in love with a divorced older man, Group Captain Peter Townsend, her father's equerry. Her father died at around the same time, and her sister became Queen. Many in the government felt that Townsend was an unsuitable husband for the Queen's sister, and the Church of England refused to countenance the marriage. Under pressure, Margaret chose to abandon her plans, and instead accepted the proposal of the photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones, who was created Earl of Snowdon by Elizabeth II. The marriage, despite an auspicious start, soon became unhappy.

Margaret died at Hospital, London, on 9 February 2002. After a private funeral, her body was cremated. Two months later, after the death of her mother, Margaret's ashes were interred beside the bodies of her parents in the George VI Memorial Chapel at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

When I was young, I listened to a lot of music on the UK. Such as The Rolling Stones, The Queen, Joy Divison, Iggy Pop, The Clash, Sex Pistols, and so on. Then I think 60s to 70s in London, that is wonderful. So, I have a dream, a dream of London. I just know all the best band from London. In fact, I dont know The Beatles from Liverpool, The Joy divison from Manchester. Until I know I will go abroadand bought a Lonly Planet about UK.
