UK vs CHINA

Different nations have different cultures during the long developing history .China and British culture have many difference .

Firstly in my opinion the biggest difference is that in British people drive on the left ,by contrast in China people drive on the right side of the road .Secondly ,Chinese often work during the holidays , Chinese like save money and when they have enough money ,then go and buy they want .But in British people live in a easy and happy lives .They go to pubs ,bars to have enjoy their holidays .They seldom go to work during the weekend .Thirdly ,Chinese people eat using chopsticks ,British use knife and fork .In China ,people prefer like noodles ,rice ,jiaozi as the main course .Chinese like cooking a lot of delicious dishes ,then set up the table ,put dishes on the table ,sit together ,and taste the dishes together .But in British people like eating hamburgers ,chips,pizza,pasta as they main course ,they eat them with vegetable salad and they eat separate plates .

To sum up ,there are difference Chinese and British culture .They are not all of them ,but I think they can give you some information .As the Chinese proverb goes : Do as the Romans do ,when in Rome .

  1. Thank you Cherry,

    You noticed some interesting differences between the two cultures!

    You have a good introduction and conclusion to the topic. I like the use of a proverb in your conclusion. Be careful though- that proverb means adapt when you are living in another culture. So, if you quote it, you should explain your meaning, such as you adapting to like in the UK!

    Also, be sure that every paragraph has a main idea at the beginning. You mention good points, but they are all under one main idea, which you said is driving on different sides of the road. That is not a general main idea to begin a paragraph, but a supporting point.

    Thank you for sharing your ideas!
