The Queen----Elizabeth

                The Queen Elizabeth was born in 1926 and become Queen at the age of 25, and has regined through more than 5 decades of enormous social change and development. As the head of state, the Queen must remain politically neutral. Her majesty and her family never vote or stand for election to any position, political or otherwise. This enables them to provide continuity and focus for national unity. Modern Britain is a multi-cultural, multi-faith society, made up of Christians,Musilins, Jews and people of other faith. This is reflected in the work of the Queen and other members of the Royal Family. And the Queen always like to do some of the donor. In the January 12, 2011, the Queen has made a private donation to the Queensland Premier's Flood Rlief Appeal.

TV

                  BBC is one of  my favorite shows.  It exists to enrich people's lives with great programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain. Its vision is to be the most creative, trusted organisation in the world. I especially enjoy watching the news which always are some of the latest ones.  In this way, not only can I understand the fact but also practice my speaking and listening.  The other one the radio of BBC.is also my favorite one. Sometimes I always listen to the radio through mobile phone before going to bed. Although I can't keep up with the speed and the meaning, I really enjoy the speakers' pronunciation and accent. And I believe that if I keep doing this, the level of my English will greatly be improved.

Crime

              The frequency of burglary and robbery  might not be as relevant as the human cost.  By implementing a range of basic preventive measures retailers can make their stores less attractive to any would-be robber or burglar. Moreover a robust security system is needed such as alarm, camera and etc.
          About knight crime, the current police information strategy is to show that carrying a knife is not “cool” and often counter-productive. It can make you more likely to be stabbed.  Young people who carry a knife for protection may have an image in their mind of being confronted by criminal youths and holding up their knife as a  threat.  It seems that UK government is responding to improve the concern about knife crime by trying to get knives off the streets through rewards and searches.
         In China, I think corruption is one of the most common crime. It is common among government employees. People through bribes to gain their own interests. A legal verdict can be changed from guilt to innocence, death sentence can turn into not-guilty verdict and length of prison terms can be reduced by bribing officials. And by bribing the manager people can get a better job.

THE WELFARE SYSTEM

    1) 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.What four requirements must people meet in order to get Jobseeker's Allowance. First of all, people must be available for, capable and actively seeking work. Next, aged 18 or over but below State Pension age. And then, working less than 16 hours per week on average. Lastly, living in Great Britain.

   2) Child Benefit is a tax-free payment that you can claim for your child. It is usually paid every four weeks but can sometimes be paid weekly. There are separate rates payable for each child. The payment can be claimed by anyone who qualifies, whatever their income or savings. There are two separate amounts, with a higher amount for your eldest (or only) child. People get £20.30 a week for their eldest child and £13.40 a week for each of their other children.

   3) Apprenticeships are available in a wide range of employment sectors. As an Apprentice, you earn money while you learn and study for nationally recognised qualifications.

   There is a very significant difference between the system in the UK and the system in China which is the official retirement age. In China, the age for men is 60 and for women is 55. So compared with UK, it is a little bit younger for Chinese to retire. In the UK the age for men and women are both 65.

The national newspapers in Britain

             Like THE TIMES,THE GUARDIAN,THE INDEPENDENT,THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, they belong to Broadsheet. Most of the articles are about politics and other serious news. Its most prominent feature is more text and fewer pictures. The others like THE SUN,THE DAILY NEW,THE DAILY MIRROR, they are relating to human interest stories with more pictures,less text and simpler English.
             The next section, I just choose an example of each what is about Meryl Streep. In THE TIMES, the headline is "Revealed: Meryl Streep as Thatcher". Only one picture on it. However, with eye-catching headline in THE SUN, it is "Maggie's back in Downing Streep". And there are more pictures with described at great length using simpler English. In addition to these there are many different information between them. For example, in THE TIMES it contains news which are politics,health,education,technology and evironment. Like other serious news, there are opinion, business, money, sport, life, arts, puzzles and papers in THE TIMES. And it is always favored by older people. In contrast, there is no papers in THE SUN. It is the best for box news, sport, showbiz and celebrities. So that's why THE SUN is very popular and many young people like it very much.

The unusual sport between UK and China

        One of the unusual sports which is actually played in the United Kingdom include the 'Man versus Horse Marathon', a famous race in Wales that pits a man against a horse that combines a cross-country marathon race and an obstacle course; office depot jousting, which involves several teams of two players each, in which one player in a team sits in a chair and propels himself, while his teammate pushes the chair down the aisle of a store, dodging the rivals who attempt to hit each other with garden hoes.
         However in China, maybe the most unusual sport is cricket fighting.  Cricket fighting also has a long history in China. It dates back at least to the 14th century and has traditionally been a gambler's sport. The cricket fighting season begins in September when the crickets are about a month old. Bets frequently top $1,000 and sometimes exceed $10,000. Because the stakes are so high and gambling is technically illegal, many of the fights are held in private homes or discreet corners of parks. Chinese are particularly fond of crickets because they are said to bring good luck and wealth.
