Education

There are many different between UK education systems and my country. In UK children could go to nursery if they want and it is the same with China . To commence with primary school it is difference. In UK children should go to school when they was five years and in China they go to primary school when they were six to eight years old. I think the education systems is also difference, in China students should be taken in school until when they finish middle school, it is force. After that students can go on study in high school and accept the final examination what we call it college entrance examination.In UK children should accept a same primary education, then they go to the high school. In the last two years, they get a college entrance examination system which is called A-LEVEL.

The holiday is also difference, in UK there are three teams, autumn team, spring team and summer team.Before the autumn team students have six weeks holiday which is called summer holiday and after autumn team they have the Christmas holiday which throught two weeks. Then the spring team is coming, when student finish the spring team they would get the Easter holiday, it would last weeks. Between the Easter holiday and summer holiday is summer team. In China there are two teams which are autumn team and spring team, maybe in some area and some colledge there have a summer team but it is not in the rule.Before the autumn there is the summer holiday it would have a long time rest that it last almost two months holiday. Then when students finish the spring team, they would get the winter holiday that incloud the Spring Festival, every students love the winter holiday because of the festival.

The most important thing i want talk about is the different between entrance examination system and A-LEVEL. In China almost every students have the same goal that is get a high marks in the final examination when they finish the high school. Before that they may have a long hard time which may let you crazy. Everyday you should wake up in 6 am or before that time and finish the classes after 10 pm then you also need work by yourself at home. Every one would tell if can not pass the examination, you could not get a good further. Though in UK students also have hard time in the last two years of the high school, it can not compare with it in China. The competation in China is too crule and the presssure is too high.

Parliament

The UK Parliament has tow parts, House of commons and House of Lords

this picture is about the House of Lords. we can see there tow parts.MP is the members of parliament.MPs and members of the Lords sit in the two parts to debating legislation.

One mp in a ares that he collect people's suggestion and help people deal with daily problems. People can tell the mp whatever they want to say though you are not British citizens.

The Gunpowder Plot

last Friday we learnt the history about The Gunpowder Plot. we know this festive is about a big event in 1605, some person who want to against the King and the government failed to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament on 5 November 1605.These people had a same name called John Johnson.But at last four of them were shot dead and the others were imprisoned and hanged along with Guy Fawkes on January 31st,1606.

For celebrate this people decided firework every year after that year. 

HALLOWEEN

Last weekends is the Halloween,in my view,Halloween is the day with many many different parts,people go to the party,enjoy themselves.Children always knock the neighbors'doors and say"Trick-or-treating" this Halloween i just stay at home,because that day i had a basketball match,our team won the champions.it is wonderful.i cooked many food to my roommates.Thought I do not joined the Halloween party ,i also felt happy.the most important thing is my girlfriend give me a morning call.i am happiness.

The European Union

this is the map of The European Union,but UK do not use euro。Know in the European Union , here have been twenty-seven EU member states.But we can not use the visa of UK for traveling to the other EU countries,so we should have new visa of EU for traveling.One reason why UK do not use the euro is UK do not want to controlled by EU and the other reason is there are many poor countries,as the member of the euro used countries,they have responsibility to help the poor countries.

The Four Nations

Wales

Map of Wales

and the national flower of wales is
Daffodils and leek 
maybe leek is for boys and Daffodils is for girls
Wales has his own language,and local people are very friendly.And the best thing is that wales has very very beautiful sight.The sky is blue,many buautiful mountains.local people feed sheep, cow everywhere.
and wales has his tradicational dress. 
The most favourity sport is rugby.and football is also famous in wales .

England

Map of England

The national flower is Rose

Football is the most famous sport in England,there are many famous football teams,and many football stars,just like Beckham.Maybe almost every person know him.I like him too.

But i think England do not have the same beautiful sight as wales.There are too many factories.And England had too much populations.

The Captain Cook

Captain Cook's name is James Cook,he was borned in Marton,maybe near the York.Captain Cook levead school when he was twelve.Cook had been a seaman when he was 23.He went to the ship named 'friendship'.In 27 Oct 1757 ,Cook married Elizabeth Batts.

Then Captain Cook began his sail oversea,in 1 Aug 1768 he found New Zealand with the Venus's help.Maybe,Captain Cook was not the first person who sighted New Zealand ,but he was the first man who landed on the island.Then he came back to England after tow years travailed.
Captain Cook found many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time.
I found a map of Captain Cook's travailed line. we can see that Captain Cook had almost travailed all over the world.

My first impressions of the UK

I have been in Wales three weeks.Wales is very beautiful,the sky is blue,the street is clean and the local people is very friendly.Last weekends I went to Birmingham to saw my friend.we know Birmingham is the second largest city of UK.There are more people than our city,but the air is not good as Wales。I went to Birmingham by trains，I think the transport system is very comfortable in UK。I heard that Swansea is a very beautiful city so I plan to travel to there in next several weeks.^ ^But the first things i should be to do is studying.LOL
