china and america
China and America There are two places that have had a profound impact in my life . one of them is china ,and the other is America. China is my hometown . I have been lived there for almost 21 years .then 3 years ago ,I moved to America. I just like a baby in America. I don’t know nothing about America. I need to adapt for the new world .when you compare them ,they seem like dramatically different places, but they have some things in common . in fact ,both of them give me an unforgettable memory with different education ,different government ,but the environment sometimes they seems like the same. I love them both. Every country has different education . in china ,the focus of education is grade, they don’t have quiz and exam but the final exam. Final exam is the only chance of your grade for that semester. teacher will publish the grade from high to low ,I really hate this part . but in America ,the school hopes the students development in an all-around way. Final is not the only way you get the grade. also your grade is yours ,no one will care about it. In the other hand , the school will separate the students to several class, different teachers will come to the different classroom to teach the students in china. in contrast, in America it is opposite, students went to different classrooms to take different class .
Not only the education is different , but also the government is different too .the america put democratic vote into practice, but in china , the democratic election is still a long way to go. Also in china the hospital is an expensive place that few people can pay the fee. If you don’t have health care you need to pay yourself. The government will pay nothing for you .in contrast in America is different ,you can go hospital first ,then they will mail the checking form for you ,if you cant pay it ,the government will pay for you .
Above all this ,there are a reason why the america seems like my hometown . both city are striking and

    Kristof

    In “The Educated Giant” written by Nicholas D. Kristof, he explains why China is likely to over take the United States as the worlds most important country of the century due to its large focus on education. In the article, Kristof talks about his trip to China and the education system he observed. Beginning with peasant schools, he discovered the level of math being taught was equal to his children’s excellent schools in the New York area. While his children won’t learn a language in school until seventh grade, Chinese students begin English as young as first grade. Kristof gave reasons as to why he believes Chinese students do so well. First, is because they are harder workers. Students show up to school at 6:30 a.m. for tutoring before classes start at 7:30 a.m. They also do homework every night, including when they are out of school for an eight week summer vacation. The second reason Kristof gives is because China has an enormous cultural respect for education, part of its Confucian Legacy. Teachers are better paid and treated superior to educators in America. The third reason given is because the Chinese believe that those who get the best grades are the hardest workers. This contrasts popular American belief that the best students are ones who are innately the smartest. Kristof then touches on the fact that Chinese has its own faults, including bribes, enormous fees and over crowded classrooms.…

    A country’s economic system decides its education system. Since China and Canada have different economic systems, China is developing on a diversified ownership economy, while Canada is running its economy by pure capitalism. It is obvious two different education systems run in those two countries respectively. And from my personal experience and some hearing from my friends, I found five main disadvantages of China’s education comparing with Canada’s education.…

    Tamaulipas: A Short Story

    My life begins here in Brownsville, Texas. However, I was only there from the beginning when I was a newborn before going back to Matamoros, Tamaulipas where my family had their own house. My mom wanted to have me in the U.S. because people had told her that there were far more opportunities over here. Technically, these two cities have become my two homes. I do miss Matamoros, Tamaulipas because that’s where I spend most of my childhood until I was seven years old. Then we had to return back to Texas because one of my younger sisters got very sick. The first five years outside of Matamoros were miserable for me because I didn’t speak an ounce of English which left me feeling so different from everyone else.…

    My friend told me about this scholarship program called Carpe Mundi who helps low income, first generation students travel at a low cost. It was hard to believe and I did not have high expectations at the time but I took a chance. I got accepted and the whole process, from orientation to boarding a plane, did not seem real until my 2nd day in Quito, Ecuador. The feeling of a dream turning into reality just happened so fast and felt surreal. Through Carpe Mundi, I was able to complete a 3 month service learning abroad in Ecuador and…

    China’s economic rise is in part to the government’s success in building the country’s schools system. China’s education system for K-12 is superior to India’s but still needs a lot of work. Many schools, especially those in the countryside, are shabby. Students and teachers focus most of their energy on preparing for standardized tests. The schools are overwhelmingly male; this being partly the byproduct of the one child policy. China is far from having every child completing eight good years of education.1…

    So why do I like my city? First reason is my family and relatives. I was born and grew up in Hanoi for my whole life. Since I was a baby, I had a lot of memories with this city. I was born in the area of middle-class people in the city, so my childhood I can say it was good. My parents always took care of me, teach me a lot of useful things but also they are strict. I remember when I was 5, I had lost in the park because I followed my friends and I don’t know how to get home. I cried a lot. Until 9p.m, my father found me sitting at the chair in the park. He took me home and yelling at me. At that time, I wonder why he didn’t asked me if I get hurt or injured instead of be angry. But when I grew up, I understand that he did it just because he want me to be careful and don’t get lost again. That once of many memories about the time I lived there with my parents.…
