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.

The new National Assembly for Wales opened for business in February 7th 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.

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.
