Saint David's Day is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales on 1st March each year. This was chosen in remembrance of the death of Saint David on that day in 589, and has been celebration by followers since then, the date was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century. In 2006, the Saint David's Day was officially celebrated on 28 February by Roman Catholics and on 2 March by the Anglican Church in Wales, because March 1st 2006 was Ash Wednesday, which is a day of penitence on which feast days are not celebrated.
The daffodil is the flower of Wales, and on St David's Day many people celebrate to wear the daffodil. In south Wales males usually wear leeks while young girls wear daffodils; in the north the daffodil predominates.

multicultural Britain
Firstly, I want to say I don’t like Tony Blair, because he always makes Britain follow the USA in the international invent. Like this times, in his speech, which left me a negative impression again. Because he reiterate a crackdown on funding for religious and racial groups, saying in the future they would have to prove they aimed to promote community integration, are not destroy the society. I still think his speech was “alarming”.
I think Britain is a multicultural country. But I felt we can’t got the supposed deference in many aspects, such as the employment, emigration, public service, etc. whatever where the people from, Indian, African, or South American without white people. I just want to say racialism is still in existence. But in here it’s more badly than the USA. In here many people who were aboard can’t find a good job, they just can engage some simple and lowlihead job, although some of them have strong ability.
In my opinion, in the multicultural country, we must deference each people who come the different class, or from the poor country have the different complexion or religions, we need to understand their cultural, habit, anything. What is multicultural country, I think it meaning the country accepted many kinds of cultural from many places. Like in Muslim community, the Muslin people have heavy religions, in these countries there have many intricate problem, like the women’s power, people need follow the religion policy. I think we need to deference them are not ask them following us, because it’s so difficult for them., them have long tradition.
How to building a good multicultural country? Jamie Vaide, London, He said: "The right to be in a multicultural society was always implicitly balanced by a duty to integrate, to be part of Britain, to be British and Asian, British and black, British and white." Mr Blair also said: "If you come here lawfully, we welcome you. If you are permitted to stay here permanently, you become an equal member of our community and become one of us. "When it comes to our essential values - belief in democracy, the rule of law, tolerance, equal treatment for all, respect for this country and its shared heritage - then that is where we come together, it is what we hold in common."
I think so.

Health in Britain
This time in my blog, I will talk about the health about different class and regions of Britain.
Firstly, let us have a look a report, which date from the 2006 national population censes in Britain, the participant adults aged were all between 25 and 64. The result in the each of the seven social classes, in Wales and the northeast and northwest regions of England had high rates of poor health. There were large social classes inequalities in self rated health, and rated of poor health generally increasing from class 1(higher professional occupations) to class 7(routine occupations). And the women had higher rates of poor health compared to men in the same social class.
I got another form from BBC NEWS, on average, according to figures, the percentage of Gross Domestic Product spent on health in Europe is 8%, but in Britain is reckoned to be 6.8%. on the other hand, the counties which considered to be economic matches for the Britain, such as Germany, and France, spend 10.7% and 9.4% respectively. But there is little doubt that the Britain lags behind many other European countries in term of death rates from cancer and heart disease.
I just have been here 1 year, so I can’t comment health in Britain, because I had saw so much better in health services in Britain. I have some friends were from the diffferent countries and palce. we are in the disparate ethnicity, in here we have got the deference..Every thing in the health service are free although I just had saw the doctor only twice and never been to the hospital, but my friends told me, the doctors and the nurse are all every friendly, the environment in the hospital are better. Just form the date, I think relative to the local people who want to better health service and policy, for me, I think it’s enough, but have better than never, I still hope Britain government spend more material resources in the health public service.

Symmetrical Families(UK and China)
In my country there are a lot of different things from the family in UK.
In china many areas people like keeping the national family, in fact the village families still kept the family like 50 years ago, young guy lived with the old people, young guy have the responsible to look after the old people. The relationship between the young people and old people are very important, sometime the parents still look after the young guy when the 18, usually they help their children paid the wedding money, like buying the house, anything, it’s different between UK
The female have the stronger position than before, and it’s very important for a family, before that, women just can stayed at home, and looks after the children, do the housework. They have no job, no achievement, and go to school still is a very difficult things for a formal family. Men support all of the things, the women’s life in men hands. About the wedding they also have the complete freedom, they didn’t need to follow their husband.
But now most of things have been chanced, but we still keep some national things, but the female have been respected, nearly they can do every thing like the men, but some of they like following the nation, husband, children, and the family are their centre, but most of them go to work, achieve their dream, in my country many women who have the important position in society. They were to the government officers, business people, etc.
Conclusion, the family in my country have got big chance, it’s more and more nearly the western country, and most of the people want to get the freedom life.

family size
Hello everybody, today in my Bog I will talk about the family size in UK.
Firstly let me intrudes the definition of family in UK, I think it’s a very interesting question, I asked some local people, some of them said it’s a little bit difficult to answer, because there are many different type family in UK. The national families have chanced a lot. Many people didn’t marriage but still live together, but 50 years ago it wasn’t accepted in UK, and the still have children, but the parents didn’t need to response for their love in law. With this satiation there are a lot of single mothers or single father, some people think it still a family, maybe we can say it not a complete family. There have another different family in UK, the single people. They didn’t have lover, without child, just living by them self, I think this lift is a little be boring, I know a old man who living in the other side of my home street with a lot tattoo in his body.
In UK, on average 2.4people live as a family in one home Britain, this is smaller than most other country, young people usually don’t living with their parents, and the old people normal living by themselves, in2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families without first being married. More and more young people like leaving the family and rent house at them are about 18.
Ok, this is my job, I wait your feedback.

Welcome & Families
This week I found some information for finishing my Blog job
Firstly I got some ideas from a Wales boy who lived with me named William? He told me The family in Britain have got a big chancing after the Second World War. Like people advocated the Wedding freedom is stronger than before, many group young didn’t get marriage with the children. Because if you marriage it means you need spend the more responsible in your family. Young guys don’t want to living with the pressure. There are only 60% groups young who have children before would be getting marriage with their love.
I still got some information from the website The is a other situation, more and more single family or single mother have appeared, there is a season talk about in 2020, it is estimated that the single people in UK more than married people. But it couldn’t be accepted in socially of Britain fifty years ago.
In the past, people married before they had children, but now about 40% of children in Britain are born to unmarried parents. Many cohabiting couples wouldn’t like to get baby although UK is the beat welfare country in the world, young people want to enjoy the lift by themselves or spend more energy in their job, or achieve some achievement.
Ok, this is my Blog homework for welcome& family, I will still attend the British Family

About my first job
Last month, I resigned from my first job in UK, It’s a part-time job in a restaurant named Yummy in Pontypridd. In fact it was my first job in my life, in fact I was not interested in this job, although I really like the delicious food, I don’t like staying in the kitchen. But I still studied a lot of things from there, maybe it was my first job, I know some way how to stay with the new guys, and the new manager, boss who are all good people in this small restaurant. They told me many things and taught me most of the thing of the stage, now I know how to boiling the chips, chicken and cod, how to make the chip, and the potato, after the third time, the manager asked me to studying how to wait the customers, it was a little be difficult for a new guy. But it’s not the main result which made me lost this job, because after me worked, it took me very strong change for my studying life, every times I finished the job until 12:30, but I often needed go to the class in the morning. I still liked 2-3times every week. And there was a good reason why I left there, I didn’t get a good pay from there, the boss just give me less than 4 pounds every times, I work in night, and I just he paid me 5.5pounds.
Conclusion, I want to say I not for the money lost my job, I thought about my living and my studying, and I was not interested in there. But I still studied many things from there, at last, I want to say thanked to guys who worked in Yummy, they are all good people. I think I don’t work until I finish IPG studying.
