                                       The UK and the UK Education      The United Kingdom is the first foreign country that I’ve ever been, and I am really attracted by the cultures of UK. Personally, as a big fan of the British accent, I enjoyed listening to English speaking English, and I also tried my best to correct my weird sound British accent. When I was young, I was obsessed with beautiful architectures around the world, no matter the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, or the Big Ben in London, they all get my attention and I really love them. Similar to the feelings that I have toward China, I love the UK’s old cultures, and also the “lonely feelings” of the street. I am a big fan of a fiction which named “Sherlock”, and it can also account for another reason I love the UK so much.      Well, for this segment...

                                China and its Education        As a native Chinese individual and who receives the traditional Chinese education, I am so proud of my country and also everything in my country.

I have a deep affection for the ancient history of my country, and in those eras, thousands of elites were living in those times and help to support the respective emperors to build a great empire. Although in the late eighteenth century, and the beginning of the nineteenth century China was insulted and bullied by the foreign countries, China was not defeated and became even stronger after those wars. And that’s all because of the supreme elites, leaders, and also the joint efforts by people. ...

Enthusiastic, passionate, and also hospital is the first image that South Africa brought to me though World Cup. I am an outgoing person, and all the enthusiastic things attract me a lot. So, since the 19 th world cup, I have a deep affection for that beautiful land in the continent of Africa which named South Africa.  South Africa is a multi-ethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. On the other hand, the beautiful natural scene...
