Some Differences between British education and Chinese education

In China, there are state school and private school to be chose by students. Most students go to state school for thier education.But some rich students could go to state school or private school as well. Because the fees always very expensive in the private school.

There is a big difference between chinese education and British
education is the different terms in one year. Chinese school always arrange two long terms in a year, each term has 4 mounth's duration. But british school has 3 terms each year.

We can see many differences between chinese and british education system, most students in china think the british education system is an open and pluralistic study system. But chinese education put more emphasize on the examination and use the examination to reference the students' point.

The Senedd's Evironmental Features

There are some interesting environmental features of the Senedd. Firstly, the biomass boiler, most buildings use the fuel to offer people the heat air. But it is always release much carbon-dioxide and carbon-dioxide is harmful for environment. Therefore, the Senedd use the wood chips or wood pellets instead of the fuel because burns wood biomass could reduce the releasing of carbon-dioxide efficiently.

Secondly, the natural ventilation are interesting as well, this natural ventilation can control the inside temperature and keep it at a same level, not very hot and not very cold. It is appropriate for people to work in the Senedd.

Finally, the Senedd use the water efficiently too. Designer designed a big container and use a pipe links it to the ground. It could be used to collect the rain water and use it such as waterless urinals in male toilet areas. This measures could save much water for the Senedd.
