Rewriting weekly testing

What are the academic and cultural differences between the U.K and your country ?
How have you responded them ?









As ‘cultural shock’, we learned from first class in LCC, there must are many differences for a international students who comes from a different background .Take myself for example .This essay will illustrate the major academic and cultural differences between the U.K and Taiwan as follow .

On the one side, the most significant difference of academic for me appears on interaction. Just like in most Asia countries , in Taiwan our teaching styles always intend to one-way education ,by means of that as students we are used received knowledge from teachers but not to deeply think about it by ourselves .

In addition , teachers also are used to give answers instead of leading students to consider . Compared with the U.K ., I find that the tutors here concentrate much on two-way education . They pay more attention on conducting creative thinking from each individual student .

On the other side, there are two cultural difference I discovered . First of all , I already experienced the slow-path of the U.K. . For instance , I have waited for my bank card for over 3 weeks and did not receive student oyster card yet .Therefore I think it’s the time to proud our quick efficiency in Taiwan . As above cases , it’s almost impossible to wait for more than one week.

However , there is a main advantage in the U.K we have to model . Perhaps people here have a common sense of urban environment , the green-plan absolutely surpass my country . It’s hard to ignore that so much flowers , so many parks in London . I suppose it also reflect a attitude that the citizen here realize how to appreciate life .

By way of conclusion , no matter the academic or cultural differences I have met , as a international student I assume that they are the necessary processes I have to experience .I will hold optimism to face continual difference ,prepare to be used to them and develop myself step by step !
