Chinese Learning Method VS. American Learning Method

If I choose to go to China to go to school or go to the United States to go to school, I will choose to go to the United States to go to school. There are many reasons why I choose to go to school in the United States. Although it is more convenient in China than in the United States, Chinese schools have never been better than American schools, although in China your mathematics will be very powerful.

image.pngThere is a very annoying rule in China that is the school's custom clothing. In my elementary, we don't have to wear school uniforms, but in my middle school we had to wear school uniforms.  In my Pre-K there were many students like me, because our name is too difficult to write, we use Chinese symbol. To be honest, Chinese is really harder than English, because English has only twenty-six letters spelled together, but Chinese has about 100,000 words, and many words in each word look very much like each other. So we started the Chinese class from Pre-K to high school. In China, we also have English classes. Beginning in the third grade, everyone will begin to learn English until the university, but there are some differences between Chinese English and American English. Chinese English teachers will teach you to read English in Chinese. I don't think it's very good, because English is pronounced in Chinese, I think it's weird, I don't like that pronunciation. I am also in middle school in China. My favorite subject in China is math class because I think mathematics is very simple, but many people do not have good mathematics in middle school because there are many subjects in China. The subjects of the seventh grade (the seventh grade to the ninth grade of secondary school) will include: Chinese classes, math classes, English classes, physical classes, information technology classes, biology classes, geography classes, history classes, political classes, music lessons, art class, lunch class. The lunch class in China is very good because the Chinese school cafeteria has a lot of different Chinese foods, and it changes the dishes every day. In my Chinese middle school, we have fried chicken chops, fried chicken, and burgers every day. I can buy it all the time at school. There is a lot of Chinese homework and a lot of math homework and a lot of English classes and other homework in China every day, so my working time in China is 6am. Get up, go to the school bus at 6:40 am, go home at 6 pm, then do homework from 6:30 pm to 10 pm (sometimes until 11 pm). I really don't like this because I have already experienced this and the work time will cause dark circles under my eyes in one month. In China, if you don't do your homework, the teacher will punish you, will call your parents, many teachers will take your lunchtime, then you will use your lunchtime to complete your homework, maybe some teachers will force you to stay at school and let you complete your homework. My middle school in China has all the activities for students to spend a day in a classroom. This is very common in China. We have to leave our classrooms for art, music, sports, information technology, and sometimes biology classes. Experiments, then we will go to the laboratory in China. Many music classes, music lessons, physical education classes will become Chinese, math, English, which happens very often in China, so there are many jokes like this in China: the students have physical education classes, however, the physical education classes have become mathematics classes. Then the mathematics teacher said that the physical education teachers are sick and not in school, but all the students saw their physical education teachers walking at the door of the class. In China, when we have a mid-term exam or a final exam, your teachers will give you a lot of homework, and you may not be able to finish it. Like in a day of math, there may be 10 pages of homework. You will spend three days in the mid-term and final exams in China because there are so many subjects. I am very fortunate because from January 29 to January 31, 2018, my plane to the United States was the morning of January 31, 2018, so I didn't have to take the final exam. But there are many different schools in the United States.

I went to middle school in New York. My middle school in New York is very different from my middle school in China. Although we have to wear uniforms in physical education classes, we don't have to wear it at least every day. When I was in New York City, I didn't have a lot of homework. We didn't need to get up early, and our teachers wouldn't punish us. I don't need to wear school custom clothing in my current Middle School. But there aren't a lot of dishes in the American lunchroom. My school in the United States eats the same thing almost every day. In the Chinese lunchroom, there are different dishes every day. Girls in the United States are somewhat different from girls in China because Chinese girls are very fortunate. For example, Chinese boys need 1000 meters off-road. The girls only need 800 meters off-road, but in the United States, boys and girls need to run the same distance. We don't need to wear school-made school clothes, but we need to wear a school badge and a red scarf (the red scarf is made of a red cloth, which consists of an obtuse angle and two acute angles) because of the Chinese flag. Most of them are red, so we have to wear a red scarf for the flag-raising ceremony. The flag-raising ceremony is hosted by a student flag team. Every Monday in China, we need to carry out this ceremony. All in this ceremony. (Everyone needs to sing the Chinese national anthem, which I think is very sacred.) In my Chinese Middle School, I need to wear custom-made clothing. I don't like it, because we need to wear the same clothes every day.

My Hometown: FuZhou City(福州市)

image.pngFuzhou is a city in Fujian Province, China. Fuzhou is a coastal city in China. Fuzhou has Gulou District, Taijiang District, Cangshan District, Mawei District, Jin'an District, Changle District, Fuqing City, Minhou County, Luoyuan County. Lianjiang County, Pingtan County, Minqing County, Yongtai County (the levels of these 13 regions are all counties). Fuzhou has a total land area of 11,968 square kilometers, a total sea area of 110,900 square kilometers, a coastline of 1,137 kilometers and a resident population of 7.57 million.

Because Fuzhou is a coastal city, many people in Fuzhou are fishermen. The fishermen will bring a lot of seafood to the people of Fuzhou. Those seafood products are very delicious. No one in Fuzhou likes to eat seafood that is more than 24 hours old because Fuzhou people like to eat fresh seafood. In Chinese, seafood is two words, fresh is also two words. In Chinese, the two words are “xin” and “xian”. “Xin” means new, “xian” means live. Or the Chinese pinyin of the .and seafood that was just slaughtered (pinyin is the phonetic symbol in English) is "hai xian", there is also a "xian" in the seafood, "hai" means sea in Chinese. So not only Fuzhou People like to eat fresh things, and all Chinese people like to eat fresh things. In Chinese, it is rarely composed of two words, fish and sheep. Because fish and sheep are very fresh foods, Fuzhou people also like to eat lamb. All Chinese also like to eat lamb. When I want to eat seafood in Fuzhou, I will go to my grandfather because my grandfather’s house is a few hundred meters away from the beach so I can eat the freshest seafood there. For example, I am still fishing in the sea. I cook seafood at home in the next second. My favorite seafood is "Razorfish". You may think that Razorfish is disgusting, but Fuzhou people don't think it is because Razorfish is a very delicious food. In Fuzhou, you rarely eat very long and very thin Razorfish because Fuzhou people do not like to eat long Razorfish, Fuzhou people like to eat the shorter Razorfish because the shorter Razorfish tastes better than the longer Razorfish. In the winter of Fuzhou every year, many fishermen buy Razorfish seedlings (very small Razorfish), and when the sea water recedes, the fishermen will bury the Razorfish seedlings in the mud under the sea. After half a year, the fishermen will Put the soil out of the sea and find the Razorfish you planted. When you find the Razorfish you planted, they have grown bigger. Fuzhou people have a lot of ways to cook Razorfish. One of my favorite cooking methods is to open the shell of Razorfish, remove the meat inside, then prepare a bowl, add sweet potato powder to the bowl, add two eggs, and then add some seasonings. Then I stir the Razorfish meat in a bowl and finally fry the Razorfish. When Fuzhou people harvest a lot of Razorfish, they will dry the meat of Razorfish in the sun. Every summer in China, I will help my mother to do it. The dried Razorfish meat is called "Dry Razorfish", and Dry Razorfish can Raw food can be used to cook soup or Fry Dish. The price of Dry Razorfish is 300 RMB per pound (300 RMB is about 50 USD), but Dry Razorfish can't be found in all Asian supermarkets in the US, so many Fuzhou people living in the US will buy a lot of Dry Razorfish from Fuzhou to the US. So there are a lot of Dry Razorfish in my house because I am also a Fuzhou person.

Fuzhou is still a developing city because Fuzhou is now demolishing small houses on a large scale and then building those houses like 30-story, and Fuzhou is still building a subway. It takes only 5 years to build a subway line in Fuzhou. Now there are only two subway lines in Fuzhou. Fuzhou plans to have six subway lines working in 2020, but everyone should know that China's manufacturing speed is particularly fast, so the six subway lines in Fuzhou may be planned. Near my home of in China, there is a subway station with a new subway line. It is a subway station on the 6th line of Fuzhou Metro. The subway station has been completed, but it is also at other subway stations on Line 6 of Fuzhou Metro. Not completed, Fuzhou Metro Line 6 will start work on December 31, 2020, so this means that Fuzhou Metro Line 6 will be built in the months before December 31, 2020. Fuzhou Metro Line 6 is an international school from Fuzhou's downtown area to Fuzhou, but Fuzhou Metro Line 6 will also extend the subway line from Fuzhou International School to Fuzhou International Airport. Fuzhou Metro is the same as the subway in other cities in China. The China Metro was introduced in Boston, USA in 2017. It is very fast and very cheap. I have experienced Fuzhou Metro Line 1 in Fuzhou. The Fuzhou Metro Line 1 is very clean, and if you want to enter Fuzhou Subway Station, you have to go through a security check, it was like a security check on the plane. When I went to Fuzhou Metro Line 1, I had a bottle of water in my hand, so the security personnel let me drink a bit of water from my hand, so this subway is very safe, and when it rains in Fuzhou, you can borrow an umbrella at the Fuzhou subway station. There will be a lot of people in Fuzhou Metro from 7am to 9am and from 5pm to 7pm in the afternoon, because 7am to 9am is the time for people to go to work, 5pm to 7pm is the time for people to get off work, so at 7am to 9am and 5pmt To 7pm, every train in Fuzhou Metro is 6 minutes, and at other times it is 9 minutes per train. In China's public transportation equipment, everyone has to let pregnant women and the elderly and disabled people sit on seats, then children, but children also have to give seats to pregnant women and the elderly and disabled people. This is a Chinese tradition because we have accepted this kind of education when we were very young, but I didn't see it in the United States. Every subway in China plays Chinese, English and local dialects (a language spoken by locals), which makes it easier for people who know English without knowing Chinese to travel in China. However, everyone can only hear English in the subway in New York, and there are many Chinese people in New York, so why there is no Chinese on the subway in New York? I think this is not very good. There are also high-speed railways and powertrains in China. They are very fast. The fastest high-speed railway in China can reach 600 kilometers per hour. So China completed the high-speed railway from Hong Kong to Beijing in 2018, so from Hong Kong to Beijing. It only takes 9 hours. So the speed of the high-speed railway is only a little slower than the plane, and the high-speed railway is cheaper than the plane. In China, you can also use mobile phones to buy airline tickets, high-speed rail tickets, boat tickets, shared bicycles (like the city bike in New York), order takeaways, and pay for online shopping. . . So China is now a cashless era. No one is using cash. You can live on a mobile phone in China for a month. If you don’t receive cash, you won’t receive fake money. In China's supermarkets, markets, restaurants, anywhere, you can pay by mobile phone. Mobile payment is like: If you go to a supermarket to buy a product, you pay with your mobile phone, which is like apple pay, but in the US I rarely see Apple pay. Mobile payment is paid by WeChat and Alipay. People can bind the credit card to WeChat or Alipay, and then you can withdraw the credit card on WeChat and Alipay. When you pay by mobile phone, you or the payee will have a barcode or QR code. You can use your WeChat or Alipay to scan the QR code and then pay, or you can make a payment barcode on WeChat or Alipay. (This is like a barcode for a product), and then the payee scans your payment barcode with the machine that scans the product. The QR code and payment barcode are sensitive, they are very sensitive, so they only take a few seconds to complete. It is. Mobile payment can also be used on any public transport. On the streets of China, even the WeChat scan code and Alipay scan code. When I saw this, I was thinking that since there are a WeChat and Alipay, he must have a mobile phone. Since he has a mobile phone, why does he have to beg? In China, very few people will pay by credit card, and WeChat and Alipay can also pay 1cent. In China, there is already a supermarket that pays by brushing face. There is also a supermarket that is unmanned (no staff, except security). Personnel), there is a high-tech in the unmanned supermarket that you can buy pizza on one machine, the material of your pizza can be selected on that machine, and the coffee, coffee sweetness can be made on one machine. Can be selected on that machine.If you are shopping online in China, the fastest speed is to send the goods you bought on the Internet to your hands within 15 minutes.

China is now quite different from a few decades ago because former China had a negative impact on former China due to economic problems and personal cultural issues. From 1989 to 2018, China's GDP grew at an average annual rate of nearly 10%, and the quality of Chinese people has also greatly improved. China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. I know that old China is not a very good country, but new China is now very different from old China. If you have time, you must go to China because China is now a high-tech country. But the United States is also very good, but the United States has different advantages than China, so I like the United States and China.
