Walfare system

Jobseeker’s allowance is the benefit to be given to employees who look for jobs actively and who are made National Security contributions .
Child Benefit is that a non-tax payment for children.If a person has a child,he or she may apply for the child benefit.The child payment is payed every four weeks.Sometimes it can be payed each week.The applyers who claim this benefit can be anyone that qualifies.No matter he/she is rich or poor.If parents are claim the child benefit,only one can get it.Children who can get this benefit is under 16-year-old.If a child is under 20-year-old,and he or she have the higher education,he/she can get this benefit as well.
Apprenticeship:An employee can get the wedge when he/she work with skilled and experienced staff.However if the apprentice lose the job.He/she can apply the apprenticeship.But this apprentice have to receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications.Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the apprentices’ ability and the industry sector.The lowest payment is 2.50 pound each hour.
UK walfare system is much better than Chinese walfare system.For example,In China,Lots of people lose work everyday,but if they do not work in workplace such as companies,govenment,schools which are belonged to the nation,they never get retirement pension after they retire.If a Chinese loose the job,and he/she did not worked in a national workplace,he/she will never get any benefits.But in UK,people can get some money which are given by the government after they loose jobs.Give you another example,In China,If one is ill,he/she has to see doctor with money,if it is necessary to buy medicine,he/she have to buy the medicine which is very expensive by him or herself.Further,if one has to stay in hospital for treatment,it is very very expensive to do that that even common people fell tough to afford the money.But in UK,seeing doctors a free and people do not have to pay if the get disease and stay in hospital.

We learnt something about newspaper last Friday.We knew that newspapers can be devided into two parts on the whole--popular newspapers and serious newspapers.We knew that broadsheets (also called quality newspapers)are read by educated people,and these kind of newspapers are focus on serious news.Tabloids are focus on human interest stories.

Newspapers such asThe Daily Telegraph,The Times,The Independent,Financial Times are all belong to the national broadsheet.Daily Mirror,Daily Mail,Daily Express,The Sun,The People,ect.are tabloid.
