Advantages or disadvantages for the UK as a member.

             As far as I`m concerned  the advantages for the UK as a member in EU are listed as follows:
 First of all, single currency in single market makes sense. Next, transaction costs will be eliminated. Last but most important is that as a member in EU will help high unemployed areas of the UK start their own businesses to employ people. While in the other side there are also some disadvantages for the UK as a member in EU. For instance, the instability of the system, over estimation of trade benefits. And growing pressure for the UK to adopt the Euro. There is also a huge democratic deficit with the EU. That is really problem.

The differences between the four nations of UK

            The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a country, located off the northwestern coast of continental Europe. There are four nations of UK, England, Wales, Scotland, Republic of Ireland. There are many differences between the four parts, like flag, plant, musicals instruments, clothes and so on.  I am very fond of plant, so I would like to talk about something about national flowers of the four nations.As a foreigner, maybe we all know the symbol plant of England is rose. I like rose.While do you know what the others? So let me tell you. The plant of Wales is Daffodil, and Scotland is thistle, Republic of Ireland is shamrock. They are very nice plants so I will find more inforemation about them during my leisure time.

The tudors

               About Henry the Eighth's six wives there is a sentence:"Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived."  His first wife Catherine was a Spanish princess, because of they just had a daughter and Henry wanted to have a son, they divorced. In order to marry his second wife Anne, he created a Separate Church. While after that she was beheaded by Henry accused her of having a love affair. Although he had a son with his third wife Catherine, she died. Then he married Anne of Cleaves who was a German princess, but at the end they divorced. The fate of his fifth wife Catherine Howard was the same as his second wife. At last, he married Catherine Parr who was his last wife. Except for his complex marriage, we also know that Henry VIII spent lots of money on creating a palace named Hampton Court Palace where is near London.
            After Henry VIII died, Edward the sixth become king, while Edward died, Mary the First become Queen who was married to the Spanish king Philip the Second. After Mary died Elizabeth became queen.

My impression of the UK

        I have been the UK for half a month. And I still remember the first impression of this place.That's amazing! Everthing here are full of vibrant. Now I stay here - Wales, the one of the part of the UK. The nation's youthful capital, Cardiff, is a busy and entertaining place. My first feeling about this place is clean and quiet, with a strong tradition of region culture. While after you're  familiar with  it, you will find that there's plenty to see and do, and what attracted most interest of all is its terrific energy. I am deeply fascinated by Wales. So if you ask me whether I have learned something  particularly interesting.The answer has to be an unequivocal "yes". If you want to go some places the frequent, fast train is your best choice. Peole  arrive every day on the train just like take the subway.
