When being asked about what do you do during your free time ,most Chinese may answer sleep,while an English may tell you drink or exercise.Why sleeping is so popular in China ,and why the answer is so different?Maybe the best reason is the culture differences between China and UK.
In China ,students have to go to school around 6:30,for we will have our first class at 7:00,that means we must get up before 6:00 or we can't have our breakfast ,then not until 11:45 can we have lunch, after lunch ,we'll study until 5:30pm,then we can go home,however, don't think we can take a rest now,because we have so much homework to do so it's usually 11:30 when we go to bed. And we have to do the same thing from Monday to Friday,which makes us too tired and too sleepy to do anything else exceped sleeping.While in UK,students are asked to arrive school at 8:45,and get their registration at 8:55,then there is an assembly at 9:10,after all of these they take their frist class eventually at 9:20 ,but after one hour's study,they have morning break at 10:20 until 10:35,and then they have lunch break ,later they take afternoon class at 13:10,finally,home time is arriving at 15:00.Compared with Chinese students,students in UK are too relaxed,therefore ,they have more energy to do other things they interesed in.
I believe most Chinese students will envy the English children after knowing the fact ,but what I want to say is that different country have differen culture and different national conditions,so what your country provided with you at presen is the best,if we want to be more brilliant we have to follow the way your nation and your parents guide you.Please respect your country ,love you country ,and finish the work at hand ,do the better of yourself.
