differences between UK and China

The differences between British culture and Chinese culture that you have noticed so far

Different countries have different culture, custom and the way of dealing with things. In my opinion, there are huge differences between British and China.

First of all, when Chinese people meet their friend, they always said where do you go?ordo you work?But in UK, people might respect others secrets, when they meet their friend, they often saidhelloor how are you?Secondly, in an open modern society, cross-cultural verbal communication seems increasingly important to modern communication has become a feature of the striking. Such as Chinese people like to others as center, and consider other’s feelings. However, in English, people make their own point of view for center, for example, people always said can I help you? or what can I do for you?Thirdly, in the class, the way which teachers teach their students has very big differences. In UK, teachers always organize many discussion giving their students and pay attention interactive. But in China, teachers only teach some knowledge to their students, and have a little discussion. In this way the potential of students can’t develop better, and maybe hitting students positivity. Finally, I found the most surprising which is food between UK and China. I really do not accept the food of UK, and the tasty is very strange. Although the sweet food is very delicious in UK, for me others are really hard to swallow. Perhaps I had lived many years in China, so I prefer to Chinese food.

In conclusion, for me, UK is a beautiful country and has many friendly people. Although UK and China have many differences in some aspects, I also hope I can accept everything here making me study and live better.
