Welfare

I want to explain Jobseeker's Allowance in the UK, Jobseeker's Allowance is a benefit for lose work people or work less than 16 hours a week on average.

Contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance

The maximum weekly rates are:
AgeAmount
Aged 16 - 24£51.85 
Aged 25 or over£65.45

Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance

The maximum weekly rates are:
Type of personAmount
Single people, aged under 25£51.85
Single people, aged 25 or over£65.45
Couples and civil partnerships (both aged 18 or over)£102.75
Lone parent (aged under 18)£51.85
Lone parent (aged 18 or over)£65.45


In China, people do not have this  benefit, but we have the other policy which is if a person less 800 yuan (about 80 pound) every month, you can get 1500yuan (about 150 pound) from government every month. If  he have more than 800 yuan. He can't continue to receive from the government's money. I think Uk and china have these policies are very well. Al though the Jobseeker's Allowance is better than china's policy. However china is a developing country. China is not rich like the Uk. I hope China can chang richer and richer and make better policy to improve people's standard of living.

Newspapers

different:
size:A broadsheet is much bigger than a tabloid and involves two folds, both vertical and horizontal.
         A tabloid is smaller and folded only once, much like a regular magazine

content:  tabloid journalism is known for being more sensational and gossipy whereas news in a broadsheet is typically more formal.
I like broadsheet , because I like to care current political news. I care the government policies. I hope that our country is getting better and better.

Television

last week, I watched a TV program. The name is Outnumbered. The content is Greg(Ken Marino, "Veronica Mars")和Jenna Embry(Brooke Bloom, "CSI: Miami") had 3 chrildren they are Six-year-old daughter Lily (Alina Foley, "then it Lives") she think she is the home eldest brother, she has many new ways to make trouble parents. age 7 youngest son, Aidan Potter, "Jack (Opposite /"). He like to lie. Kyle (Canipe Ridge eldest son, "Walk The Line") is a ignorant boy, parents say anything,he won't listen. Parents spent much mind for take care their the children .But their children donnot like their Parents. Becasue they want freedom.So it happend many interesting things. It is very funny.
