I live in a small town in the middle of England, with relatively few and friendly people. My children and I both like the UK very much and feel a sense of belonging.

Britain has a temperate maritime climate, with temperatures ranging from above zero to 20 degrees all year round. Winters are not that cold, and summers are very comfortable. Because each household has its own boiler for heating and adjusts the room temperature and hot water by itself all year round, the indoor comfort is like spring all year round.

The UK has a relatively small population. Often there are not many people passing by the house in a day. The living space is very open, and almost every house has a garden where you can grow flowers and vegetables.

My child has been attending school in the UK since primary school. The teachers at the school are very nice and the school curriculum is rich and colorful. The child enjoys going to school very much and is very excited to carry his schoolbag every morning.

British society is relatively stable and orderly. British people adhere to social ethics more, consciously queue up, and say thank you and sorry anytime and anywhere. When I usually go out for fun, I will say hello to people I don’t know on the road. Generally speaking, most people are very polite and friendly, especially people in small places.

British food is relatively expensive, but the quality is guaranteed. The pork and beef I buy have no moisture, and the vegetables and fruits packaged in the supermarket are very clean and fresh. I prefer to eat fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, and cherries. These fruits are relatively cheap in the UK, so I can basically achieve the freedom of cherries. .

The British like to maintain a sense of boundaries and distance. Generally, friends will not be invited to their homes easily, and of course they will not go to your home. But after getting familiar with them, they will also invite you to be a guest, have a cup of tea, eat dark cuisine and so on. British people like to live alone and do not care about the major events of other countries in the world. They only care about the small town where they live and the affairs of their own family. Therefore, interpersonal relationships in the UK are simple and no one will judge your life casually. There is no right and wrong. Point is my favorite place. In the UK you can be yourself and live the way you want. As for whether you are married or not, whether you have children, how much money you earn, etc., no one pays attention to your private life, and everyone lives their own lives. Living in such an environment, people are free and relaxed, and they can live however they want.

Medical care in the UK is free for everyone. Although it costs nothing, it is very inefficient. If you want to get a checkup and it's not an emergency, you can wait in line for several months. So doing things for free is still inefficient. Of course, it would be quick to see a private doctor, but it is very expensive and not everyone can afford it.

The UK can be said to be a paradise for children. Children under the age of 16 receive milk powder every month, public schools are free, and they don’t even need to buy pens or notebooks. Children's annual vision examinations, glasses, dental visits, orthodontics, and prescription drugs are all free. The protection of children in the UK is very complete, children's products are tax-free, and most restaurants have special meals for children. Twice my child had a fever and I called the family doctor’s hotline. An ambulance was sent to my child’s home for examination and medication. The doctor was also full of love and was very patient and considerate towards my child.

In addition, the UK is a country with a high vegetation coverage rate and a beautiful environment. Most schools and parks have large green spaces and children's facilities for children to run and play. There are squirrels and hares running around on the ground, flocks of seagulls flying in the sky, and ducks and swans swimming in the river. The natural environment is beautiful and the air is fresh. . When children grow up in such an environment, they are close to nature and love small animals. They become more caring and energetic, and have a greater sense of happiness.

Living a good life in the UK can be specific to many details, but personal inner feelings are the most important. Every place has its pros and cons. Whatever suits you and adapts to your life is the best. For us, the happiness index and life satisfaction of living in the UK are very high. I especially like the UK, a country with a mild climate, rich vegetation, good social order, and friendly people.

2020 is my tenth year of living in the UK. It’s considered a long time. Let me just talk about the good and bad of life here.

Benefits: quietness, low cost of living, and living a life of your own.

I live in a small town in England, and I think this place is particularly suitable for people like me who are not very social. When you want to go to London, you can take a 45-minute train ride to central London, where you can go shopping and see exhibitions. There are a lot of Chinese people living around here, and I don’t have as many friends as I do back home, but it’s a situation I feel comfortable with. It’s okay to walk the kids together or whatever.

Many people may think that the cost of living in the UK is expensive, but compared with income, it is still very affordable. Of course, it’s not like being rich or wealthy. It’s just a normal life, with some spare money on hand, and it’s no problem to go to other European countries for fun.

To live by yourself, it may be because you are far away from home. Without seven aunts and eight aunts, you can do whatever you like. In British society, personal choices are generally respected. If you don't get married or have children, no one will advise you.

Disadvantages: It is troublesome to see serious illnesses, difficult to integrate into the local circle, and lacks a sense of belonging.

The UK has universal medical care, and it is really convenient to see minor illnesses. You can go to a family doctor near your home. However, patients with serious illnesses have to wait in line and may be delayed. Therefore, the common wisdom among Chinese people is to fly directly back to China for treatment if they are seriously ill.

As for the circle issue, it may depend on the individual. I think it is more difficult to integrate. You can feel it when your children go to kindergarten. Mothers of British children naturally form one circle, and foreign mothers form another circle. . They won't explicitly reject you, but they can feel the disconnect.

The lack of sense of belonging is also one aspect, and it may also be related to the inability to integrate into the local circle. There is no solution to this problem, and my next generation may still have this problem.

Life in the UK has its ups and downs, and everyone has different personalities and feelings. At the moment, I still prefer the free life in the UK, and I don’t rule out the possibility of returning to China in the future.

I have been living in the UK for many years, and the overall feeling is that winter is too long and difficult to endure. It is either in winter or around winter [vomit] and I have to endure all kinds of things. Maybe a small matter can be solved in one hour. , the other party has to wait quietly for 6-8 weeks...the waiting time for medical treatment is too long. It is estimated that if it is cancer, by the time the other party's hospital has found out, the number of people will be almost gone...the overall work efficiency is poor, each It's unreliable... lonely and cold; you dress like a lady and speak like an Oxford graduate, but your home may be full of garbage. Of course, in most cases you won't see such things. Because everyone is pretending to be skilled! Rural areas are full of scenery, and everyone smiles when you see them. [Thinking] If the place is small, your ex’s ex’s ex may be your current one. Everyone likes to gossip. It’s important to maintain a good sense of humor. Hahahaha, people love and hate them at the same time. …[I want to be quiet]

In 2005, I studied abroad in Ireland and then found a job opportunity in the UK. What I will mainly talk about below are two aspects, my own and my daughter’s education.

What makes me feel the most about working in the UK is dignity, fairness and justice. I don’t need to be obedient or bow down to my boss. I call my boss by his first name. Any unfair treatment you receive at work in the UK can be stated through conversations with your boss or written materials. You will definitely receive fair and equitable treatment. You don’t have to worry about racial discrimination, because this is a very serious mistake in the UK, especially at work, managers are also worried about this high hat. In addition, you don’t have to worry about someone complaining about wearing small shoes at work, because you can talk to your superiors in any situation, and there will always be something you can complain about, and you can stand upright with your reasons.

Secondly, what I feel deeply about is the impact of schools on children’s education. The school my children studied in in Shanghai was privately run, and the admission sponsorship fee in 2001 was 8,000 yuan. Even in such a school, there are still cases where teachers pull students' pigtails and are verbally violent. My daughter came to the UK to study when she was in junior high school, and all the teachers cared for her meticulously. On the first day of my daughter's school day, the head teacher paid special attention to a few naughty children and said they were not allowed to bully my daughter. If such a situation occurs, it must be reported to him. Since the second foreign language in the UK is French, my daughter has never studied it in China before, so there is a big gap between her and her classmates in the same grade. The French teacher gives my daughter free tutoring at a fixed time every week. Every time my daughter goes to her office to study after school, the teacher will prepare snacks and drinks for her. These are not what she should be doing. By the time my daughter graduated from middle school, her French scores were already at the top of her grade.

I have written a bit too much today.

1. Climate

The UK has 365 days a year and only one season a year, which is called autumn. So you can see people wearing camisole, T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, windbreakers, and down jackets on the streets of the UK at the same time.

One thing you must remember when coming to the UK is to bring an umbrella, because the weather in the UK can rain at any time during the week.

2. Education

Children aged 5-16 in the UK can enjoy free compulsory education in public schools, and the education system is world-famous. The teaching qualifications and teaching equipment of its private schools are also very good, but the fees are slightly higher.

British education ranks second in the world after the United States, with world-famous universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, and the University of London. However, if you want to go to these famous schools, the 211 universities or 985 universities in China are the best.

3. Work

In the UK, the biggest difference is that work and life can be separated. Within 8 hours of work, everyone has a working relationship. If you have any questions, it is no problem to contact customers or colleagues. Don't expect to be able to contact someone after 8 hours. If someone responds to an email or message, it's because they are willing. But you can completely ignore messages and emails, or shut down your phone completely. There is no problem at all, and others will not expect you to reply. When you have your own time outside of work, you can do what you want to do or spend time with your family.

4. Public transportation

Because the population density in the UK is low, public transportation is rarely full. Basically, there is always a place to sit, and you can also use the charging port near the seat.

Because there are not many passengers, the buses here do not stop at every stop, and the intervals can be as short as 20 minutes or as long as one hour. For newcomers, it may be embarrassing if they do not understand some hidden rules.

Compared with domestic transportation, public transportation is really expensive. One ride costs at least the equivalent of more than ten yuan.

5. Rhythm

When you first come to the UK, you have to slowly adapt to the British rhythm. The service speed of the water and power grid is extremely slow. The waiting time for a customer service call may be up to an hour. The UK does not install broadband as fast as we do in China. It takes 10 days to install the network.

6. Etiquette

In the UK, some etiquette is necessary, such as shaking hands before greeting each other when meeting, congratulations on some festivals, and at the dinner table. We attach great importance to the etiquette on the occasion, so we should pay attention to these aspects to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

7. Personality

British people are more reserved and like to complain, but they are very measured when they speak. They are generally not particularly angry and will not curse. They joke well and may also tell bad jokes. Speaking of gentlemen, in fact young people are not as gentle as the older generation. Most British people are very friendly. The British live a traditional and conservative life, respect personal freedom and are tolerant of ideas.

8. Public Security

The UK implements strict gun control, and even the police are not allowed to wear guns on the streets. Moreover, cities large and small in the UK are covered with cameras, and police can be seen everywhere. The overall social security is relatively superior, so many cities give people a sense of peace and tranquility.

9. Welfare

The British welfare system can be called a classic textbook in the West. The widows, widowers and lonely people all have something to support them, realizing the idea of ??Confucius thousands of years ago. The British welfare system is roughly divided into eight categories: child and maternal benefits, education benefits, disability or illness benefits, retirement benefits, widow benefits, unemployment benefits, low-income benefits and social funds. It is a globally recognized high-welfare country.

Generally speaking, if you like quietness, then life in the UK is definitely suitable for you.

I have lived in the UK for more than two years because my children go to school here. I feel that the quality of life is much better than in Beijing.

In Beijing, if you want to go to work, you have to find an aunt to help take care of the children. It is different in the UK. If you have time to spend with your children, you can find a part-time job while the children are in school. You will not say anything at work. If you are discriminated against because you are a foreigner, you will never be forced to work overtime or leave when you get off work. Food is definitely not as abundant as in China, but you can buy ingredients in Chinese supermarkets and cook them yourself. ;Although I don’t have as many friends here as I do in China, and there are basically no Chinese in the area where I live, my neighbors are still very friendly. Sometimes we’ll drink tea and chat together, and sometimes we’ll find out who’s cooking good food. I will also share that some people come over to give gifts to my children at Christmas; overall, I quite enjoy life in the UK.

This does not represent the vast Chinese community in the UK, but only my personal opinion [呑ya]

I have lived in the UK for many years, and when it comes to the UK, it is the first thing that pops out of my head. Bad weather [covering face] There is too much rain, and too little sun comes out. Also, the winter lasts too long. Even when summer arrives, the nights are much colder than the winter in Guangdong [crying] For me, a girl from Guangdong, the weather is the most difficult thing for me to adapt to.

I live in a small town in the UK. I think this place is particularly suitable for people like me who are not very social and do not like to flatter people. I feel free and comfortable here.

Many people may think that the cost of living in the UK is expensive, but compared with income, it is still very affordable. Of course, it’s not like being rich or wealthy. It’s just a normal life, with some spare money on hand, and it’s no problem to go to other European countries for fun.

Live your own life. Without seven aunts or eight aunts, you can do whatever you love. In British society, personal choices are generally respected.

But the UK also has its shortcomings. For example, public transportation is backward. If you don’t have a car, it is not very convenient to go anywhere.

In terms of medical treatment, the advantage is that it is free, but the disadvantage is that it is slow.

Education: Education fees are free. My son is currently in kindergarten, so I can't comment.

Personally, I particularly like the UK. I also spent 3 years as an international student. I think everything is pretty good. If you have a decent job and are not particularly sociable, and are you concerned about the future of your children? Not being able to be a true Englishman is not so serious, maybe England is a place of choice.

The sun rises too early in the summer here. He woke up before 4 o'clock and told me: "It's dawn, get up"

Good mountains/good water/so boring
