Difference between British culture and Chinese culture

It is commonly recognized that Chinese culture and Britsh culture different area are food , wether . However, by these ten days I lived in Britain ,I found more different and similar cultures between two countries.
Firstly, Britsh people can't be separated the card. Like credit card , debit card , shopping card... They can take anything go out as long as you take a small card. On the contrary ,Chinese person still like to take the paper money in the pocket. It is not popular to accept the card use in china. It is undeniable that should be change in the future . But it will spend much time to change our traditional mind.
Secondly, Britsh people never weigh anything when I buy the fruits and vegetables. They just count the number . But in China almost food should be weight. As far as I am concerned, I like the Britsh way.
Finally, I found the most surpring that every services institutions like market ,bank that close door every early . Even some stores do not open in the weekend . In china , this situation can not happen. In some ares market satisfy the need of good for people ,they open the door all day. I claim that more convenient for people .
Britsh people work is very rigorous that is similar with Chinese. They all like to structure way of doing things. That couldn't neglect anything I think this is the biggest similar between them.
To sum up, I love two countries kinds of cultures. If not i couldn't choose Britsh go aboard to stuty.

  1. Thank you, Rebecca, for your essay!

    I like how you explain your own opinions on the different cultures and are able to criticize the good and bad in both!

    Good use of introduction and conclusion! I like how you use the transitional words of sequence to change between points (firstly, secondly, etc). Good use of paragraphing to separate main ideas. Be sure to use correct vocabulary. For example, 'similarity' is the noun for the adj. similar. So, the biggest 'similarity' is... Always write in full sentences! (ex: second paragraph- Like credit cards...)

    Overall, this was a well done and reflective essay on the differences between the cultures. Good job!
