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.
