Education

This blog is to be compare the different and similar education between China and Britain.

First of all there are two terms which is spring term and autumn term in China, each term has three month to study. However, there are three terms in Britain, and each term has three month to study.

Moreover, another different is how to chooce the school. Most parents will chooce the public school for their children in China, because the public school alway has a better education than private school and be paid a lower tuition fee. However, the Britain is opposite.

Therefore, there are some similar between these two country, the children who reach five or six years old can go to the primary school and people can get jobs when they reach 16 years old.

British food and drink

Talking about the British food. Honestly, British food is good, but it is humdrum. The breakfast which is sausage, toast, egg and bacon are never change. In my country, the food can be cooded varied. It means people do not eat the same food everyday. They have a lot of choices.

People often went to pubs with theire friends after class or work, they talk and have fun in it.

there are some famous pubs in British:

(1) The Crown – represents the king or queen. Many pubs are named after individual kings and queens.

(2) The Red Lion – the pub name became popular after James the First ordered a red lion to be displayed outside all public places.

(3) Royal Oak – the king Charles the Second escaped the Roundheads (at the time of the English Civil War) by hiding in the branches of an oak tree.

(4) Swan – a heraldic symbol, used in the "coat of arms" of powerful families.

(5) White Hart – the white hart (stag) was the heraldic symbol of the king Richard the Second.

When i know these pubs and i can make more friends in pubs, i really want to go to a pub and tell the staff in the bar"have a drink on me"!
