The Acadimec culture

 

The Universities in the UK (google .com 2013)

 

 

 

I have entered the university in the United Kingdom since 26 September 2012. I notice that the culture in the university is different than out said. In the University of the UK the life is different such as: language, students, marking system and technology.  According to speaker in the Middlesex University (2013) said that, the language which using in the university are different than the normal language, because in the university they use academic writing language not like the writing an email or letter. However, there are many different nationalities in the UK universities. For example, from my experience in the University of Glamorgan the international student are tend to be high than the home student. The marking system in the Universities of UK are different than other, the higher mark are 70% and the baas mark are 40%. Moreover, the technology nowadays the easiest way to teaches the student and be on teach with them. According to computing (2009) said that ‘social media to reach a greater number of students and e-learning to make information, skills and research available beyond the traditional campus.’

Culture in the UK

British Tea Cup. Tammy (2013)

Since 19 may 2011 I’ve arrived in the UK to begin a new life and to learn English and studying in the University. I was interesting to live with a British house family to learn from him a lot of thing such as: language, British culture and the life style of the British people.  However, I lived with British people and I have shier the life with them for a year.  I notice that from my expiries with living with British family most of the people in the UK are enjoying playing sport such as golf and Rugby.  According to Justlanded (2011) ‘The British are sports mad, although most people confine their interest to watching or gambling rather than taking part.’ Therefore, most of the houses in the UK are not big like the houses in my country and I thing because that the children are moving from their parents’ house when the get adult. Most of the British people are enjoying drinking a tea. According to Justlanded (2011) said that the British are one of the most tea drinker in the world and the people in UK are drinking tea in the same quantities as other Europeans countries. As a result, the culture in the UK is more different than in my country, I really enjoyed the British life but I did not like the British food.
