The British Middle Class

From the report, I found two points of view. One is the gap of middle class and working classe has been reducing, both the percentage of population and the wealth of the two classes. The other one is that although the gap of two classes has reduced a lot, there are still many differences between the two classes and the two classes also have their each specialities.
The numbers of people from the two classes are very closed now and the middle class will overtake in ten years after. The wealth gap between the two classes is £104,000, definitely it is not a larger number. Not only the gap between the two triditional classes reduced, but also there are some new kind of classes, such as ROBs, HEWs, SALs, etc. These kinds of people alos takes a larger percentage of population of Britain. All these classes mix together in the UK society and the borders between these classes are getting more and more indistinct.
There are also clear differences between the two classes. The income of the two classes almost be similar, but to use the money, the two classes have different choices. The middle class spends more money on investments and deposit more money in the bank. They have much more properties than working class. The differences are not just on money, but also on education, type of jobs and some other aspects. The most interestingly difference is that middle class is more meany than working class. Thats quite funny.

Multicultural Britain

As a foreigner in Britain, there are so many strange cultures surround me. Although China is also a country of multicultural society, the nationalities in China has been in a uniform country for more than two thousand years and more than 90% population of China are the Han nationality which has much more people than other nationalities. So the main culture in China is the Han nationality culture. But in Britain, its hugely different from China. The minorities take a larger percentage of population in Britain. It results in an impact of different cultures.
To be an international student in Wales, the most obvious differences between cultures is the food. There are three kinds of main food types arround me, they are Indian food, Chinese food and British food. There are a lot differences between these food and each kind of food has a huge consuming group. It is a good experience to try other kinds of food and also a good way for the communication between different cultures.
From the speech of Tony Blair, he said 'If you come here lawfully, we welcome you. If you are permitted to stay here permanently, you become an equal member of our community and become one of us.' It is an advisably target of the UK government. It is a good way to build a safe and steady society. Unfortunately, there are many difficulties during implement. For example, the suicide bombings happened in London last year, the frequent crimes which are made by robbers, etc. But anyway, there is no denying that to integrate all the nationalities in Britain is an right aim for the UK currently.

What is St David's Day

Well, Saint David, or Dewi Sant, he is the patron saint of Wales. He was a Celtic monk, abbot and bishop, who lived in the sixth century. In his life, he was the archbishop of Wales, and he was one of many early saints who helped to spread Christianity among the pagan Celtic tribes of western Britain.

He is special ,beacuse his last words to his followers were in a sermon on the previous Sunday. Rhigyfarch transcribes these as 'Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little things that you have seen me do and heard about. I will walk the path that our fathers have trod before us.' 'Do the little things' ('Gwnewch y pethau bychain') is today a very well-known phrase in Welsh, and has proved an inspiration to many. On a Tuesday, the first of March, in the year 589, the monastery is said to have been 'filled with angels as Christ received his soul'.

the daffodils(a generic Welsh symbol which is in season during March) or the leek (Saint David's personal symbol) on this day. The association between leeks and daffodils is strengthened by the fact that they have similar names in Welsh, Cenin (leek) and Cenin Bedr (daffodil, literally "Peter's leek").

Employment in Britain

Employment has a important effects for the people's livelihood,and China is the most populous country in the world.to solve the employment problems in China is a very pressing task.



I did some reseach from Chinese government wideside ,"the Chinese Government attaches great importance to the issue of employment. Based on the "Constitution of the People's Republic of China," the "Labor Law of the People's Republic of China," and other laws and regulations, the Chinese Government has protected the laborers' right to employment, and adopted various policies and measures to actively promote employment and steadily meet their needs for employment."That means Chinese govement respect of use laws to protect the laborers 's rights.of course, the eaducation level is the most important issures in employ realationship.It depends on what level degree you will get .

I hope when i finished the degree,i could be working in a international companies,make China know more about the world!
