Prince Williams and Kate Middleton wedding some problems

This year in the UK there have a great wedding, all over the world people watched and celebrated them, because this is a royal wedding. However in this wedding the royal family spent about $70 million and spent $800,000 of the floral display, $300,000-450,000 to the wedding dress, $78,000 to the cake, and as much as $33 million, this is a very expensive wedding. After that when the lots of people celebrated their wedding, whether we know so many people are suffering from homelessness, hunger, lost their jobs and so on, they are very pitiful, so some people think hold the wedding the monarchy are waste of tax payers’ money, and they spent a lots of money to hold the wedding will affect people’s views of the monarchy. But a lots of people are enjoy the occasion, this is a special scarce weeding due to all over the world people celebrated their wedding.

2012 Summer Olympic London

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This will be the third time. London has hosted in 1908 and 1948. The 2012 summer Olympic Games sports will have 26 sports is expected to total of disciplines in a 38. At this time, London Olympic Games will use some new venues and any existing historic facilities; let everyone feast the best effects. So a lots of British people rush to purchase the tickets, then lead to some people got it but the other people cannot got it. After that I think this is a fair thing, because the Olympic Games will have 26 sports, such as some people like tennis then the area just can hold 10000 people, so the government should make a plan let the ticket online to sale, this is a reasonable thing.

Social class

Social class can fall into some different part, such as: working class, middle class or upper class. This video will talk about a girl who join to the posh class. Before that, she spent 4 weeks to learning speaking and how to choice clothe and so on. After that she pass the final test, she become an elegant woman.
Posh means port out, but neither of these is correct. To spend generously and spend more than one is normally accustomed to doing, often to mark a special occasion.Posh from the literal means pushing boats from wherever they can beached and into the water. Helping a seaman to push the boat, then at the present day the act is to helping to push a car that is broken down.

Sport

I think in my country there have a different kinds of sport. Such as: basketball, football, swiming, badminton and so on, and also England have many popular sport, there are rugby, basketball, running and so on. These sports are very popular, because  these sports can good for ourselves health, and more of people take part in will be very interesting.Some of sweeping sports will choice a good place to hold, then many people can take part in and more of people can see the competition. In my mind i think the famous sport people is Kobe Bean Bryant Cox. Because i like play basketball, therefore i think he is a very good basketball player, he has a very good skills about the basketball, he is a superstar guard of the Los Angele Lakers（2011）. I think every one can see the basketball match, this is a very popular sport, every year will hold in novembre, most people will wants to see it, it is a very exciting things.

Crime and Punishment

At present day, some of people are dead for murder and terrorism, it is a very terrible things.Capital crimes included murder, highway robbery, theft and the other very serious things about shilling, rioting, forgery and arson. Nowdays jails used to punished crimed people and lock up them into the jails, some serious people would executions. Their crime will be left to judge.(Criminal Justice Board, 2009). In the society, some of juvenile will be crime. Some child have felonies and it is a most serious crime, in those days their crimed included robbery, forgery and some property offences as well as murder, rape and arson. The courts will discussed with each people to decide how to punish these juvenile, but if they have very serious crime they will let them death penalty,such as if children and young people who had killed someone, then they will trend to crime. (Criminal Justice Board, None). These days ,many people like after drunk to drive the car, it is a very serious things. Because when they drunk then they are mind will be excited. After that they drive the car it was very danger, and it was very easy to have a traffic accident. Some serious will lead to crime and if they drive the car attack the other people, then they will be crimed and they will accept a death penalty. And if some people have misdemeanor, the courts will let them stay in the prison about less than three month, let them know these things will endanger the public safety and let them know did not do it again.

The media exploring british newspapers

In Britain the most popular British soaps is Coronation Street.

In Britain there have lots of channels, and there have many different kinds of channel, it is better than China. In China, there just have some channels, and they didn’t make their channel special, some news channel such as: CCTV. They didn’t make the channel well, the channel often show us as similar as the day before yesterday. So I think the BBC news is better than CCTV news. In Britain, every day I will saw the television, and I must be to see the BBC news. It will tell us the true things and help me to excise my listening.

Education

Education is the process by which society knowledge, skills and values is an embody of the country. First in China there have many nursery schools in my country.Their children's age average about 2-6, then they can learned some knowledge or some morals, and also can make some friends.In Britain there haven't the nursery school. Second in china there have many children go to private schools in my country,the reason about their parents send their children to these school is they think these school is very convenient, and their children can live in the school, then they can work hard about thier job. Third in china there have 2 school terms in my country is about Spring and Autumn. Forth in China the children start for primary school is about 6-7,start for secondary school is about 12-13,start for tertiary sectors is about 16-17,but in Britain the children start for primary school is about 6-7,start for secondary school is about 11-12,start for tertiary sectors is about 18 or over 18. Fifth in China the most important school exams is about the university entrance examination when students take part in the exam their age average about 18. Lastly in China if students didn't leaning in the class,their teacher will teach them and told their some moral knowledge, let them know their wrong. In Britain i think if students didn't having class their teacher also will teach them,because when i was 11 years old, i had been to the UK for travelling and learning, in my mind their teacher was very kindly and friendly.

Key environmental features of the Senedd

The new National Assembly for Wales opened for business in February 7^th 2006, it including some information technology, broadcasting equipment, furnishing costs and so on. Then the funnel, wind cowl and lantern are key to ventilation and lighting in the chamber. Natural ventilation have two types of natural ventilation occurring in buildings: wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation. And the majority of buildings employing natural ventilation rely primarily on wind driven ventilation. Then the heat system will use the earth as a heat sink in the summer and winter, let the parliament at all seasons feels cooler, it is very comfortable. In order to reduce for the heating to a minimum and consequently achieve a higher BREEAM rating. The building has recommended the wood chips and wood pellets to be used as the fuel source. This is a devices about saving water, after that the water used on the building of the rainwater from the roof as grey water. Lastly the parliament of the whole life cost also key to the selection of materials. So whilst within the building would been cheaper initially, over the life of the building would have significantly more expensive.

St. Davids Day

Saint David was a church official; he was a Celtic monk and he was a native of Wales, who lived in the sixth century. During his life, he birth always still uncertain.

Parliament

The Parliament has numerous contacts with lobby groups, which have led it to adopt an associated code of conduct.Parliament is the place where politicians meet to decide laws and make decisions on running the UK.The business of Parliament takes place in two "houses": the elected House of Commons and the House of Lords, whose members are mostly appointed.House of Commons:Democratically elected house, makes laws and checks the work of Government.The House of Lords:A forum of expertise, making laws and providing scrutiny of Government.


To start with there are two Houses of Parliament:The Houses of Commons and The Houses of Lords respectively.Therefore the House of Commons was originally far less powerful than the House of Lords, but today its legislative powers greatly exceed those of the Lords.Moreover there are 659 constituencies in the United Kingdom and there have 529 in England,by the way there also has 72 in Scotland.Specifically some places cover a large area but the others cover a very small area.Lastly the political party from the government after a general election.Even so i will explain what is mean'first past the post'.For instance the person who has the most wins,then they have only one than the next person.

The European Union

After 1945 the ideal of a united Europe in economic and political institutions.Because people during the war were determined to end the international hatred and competition in Europe and to build a lasting peace and before the enemy. In 1945 and 1950, enter into a new era. Western interests of the state and the people share together, and it will be built upon the treaty safeguard the rule of law and equality between countries.In the 1950s Britain not want to join the EEC.If the idea of a "core Europe" might not be a solution.

However, a year later, the lack of progress will lead the organization's prime minister McMillan request to join the European economic community(EEC). French President didn't like English to join the union as it believe that they are a Trojan horse for the interests of the United States. Of course it can also think DE gaulle not eager to see France leadership in the European challenge. A referendum is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to either accept or reject a particular proposal.It is a form of direct democracy.
Iceland,Norway and Liechtenstein are not included in this text.Because they are through the creation of the European Economic Area(EEA).Nowdays there have 40 percentage of world trade belongs to the EU.There have European Council,Council of Ministers,European Commission,the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice all in the running of the EU.The Parliament is the only directly-elected body in the EU.Eurosceptic is a general term used to describe criticism of the European Union (EU), and opposition to the process of European integration,  Traditionally, the main source of eurosceptic has been the notion that integration weakens the nation state. Other views occasionally seen as eurosceptic include perceptions of the EU being undemocratic or too bureaucratic.A europhile is a person who is fond of, admires, or even loves European culture, society, history and so on. In politics, it may be used to imply Pro-Europeanism, or support for the European Union.At last polls in recent years will suggested that a majority of Britons are against joining the EU.
