Children are the hopes of a nation , and family education is the elementary education for children . There are many types of family education in the world and each of them shows distinctive features and is closely responsive to its culture . And American family education is the most famous one among them1. There are great differences in the concepts of education , aim of education , methods of education and contents of education between American family education and Chinese family education . This thesis will complete the comparative study from the differences , the reasons and the results of family education between America and China . The author hopes to find a satisfied family education method through comparing the differences between American family education and Chinese family education . At the same time , the author hopes this thesis can provide some helpful suggestions for family education in order to make children grow more healthily and roundly .Keywords: family education childeren differences education for all-around development Main Body:Ⅰ.The differences of family education between America and China:1.The concepts of family education are different .The different education concepts between America and China lead children to receive differert education . In China , many parents only care about whether the children have a promising future , a good job , a good life or not . Based on these expectations , the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future2. Chinese parents would like to provide everything what they can for their children in the process of children’s growth . In short , they would like to sacrifice anything if their children can live better with their help . Therefore, in the process of children’s growth, the most important thing the parents concerning is to develop their children’s intellect , except for caring chi ldren’s daily life . In order to make their children have a good performance in study , become outstanding , or even become a famous person in the future ,they would not let children do anything except studying . Contrastively , American parents generally believe that the growth of childeren must rely on their own strength and experiences. Based on this concept , most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood . And the capacity comes from the training in the early age3.In the film 《Gua Sha Treatment》4, there is a scene that Datong orderded his son to apologize to his boss’s son when his saw his son was fighting with his boss’s son . What’s more , he slapped his son in the face when his son refused to apologize , which gave his boss aquite a shock . His boss became confused why the father would show the regret by striking his son . This scene and the boss’s confusion reflect the different concepts between the two countries . Traditonal Chinese family education emphasize kindheartedness and bedience5, so we can say that Chinese parents like Datong in the film always want to model their children . On the contrary , America children have more rights of autonomy because their parents emphasis on justice and freedom in the process of family education .2.The aim of family education are different6.The aim of family education is to foster the childeren to grow in some direction by family education . It is the restrictive factor for the direction of family education , deciding the general effect of it . So the aim of family education is the core of family education and the fundamental reason for the differences between the two countries on family education .There is an essential difference between two countrys’aim of family education , with to expect the child to become an outstanding personage and to hope the child to be an comprehensive and independent person giving expressions to the difference . To most Chinese parents , the aim is expecting their child to be a “dragon ”, which is “wang zi cheng long ”in Chinese . But American parents take hoping the child to be a man of ability which is “ wang zi cheng ren ” in Chinese as their aim . For Chinese parents, their aim is to do anyting to support their children to get high marks . What forms apparent contrast to it is , America parents give their children more training about improving abilities . They try to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently .3.The methods are different between America and China .The differences of concepts and aim cause the childen to be taught by different ways and methods . In Chinese family , affected by Chinese traditional culture , parents educate children by “ control ” and “ seal ” type . There are three tips for it 7:(1)Chinese parents prepare all things for their children in daily life . In Chinese family ,children don’t have to do any housework .(2)Chinese parents protect the children to excess in social activities . Many children areprevented from exposure to the outer world because their parents worry about children’s being affected by bad things 8.(3)Chinese parents have a rather strict attitude toward children’s study . Parents regard thegrades as the only standard for future success . “ Tasks Sea ” strategy is often used in study .Chinese children are tired of doing many extra exercises .So Chinese children spend more time in studying than doing other things . What about America children ? Let’s talk about the famous film 《The Pacifier》9. In the film , it may be unconcious , but Shane Wolfe had let the kids master many skills by training them during the time when he cared them . So American parents bring up their children by the method of “ letting go ”but “ not indulging ” to exercise children’s abilities of independent living .4. The different contents of family education between America and China .The differences of family education between the two countries are also reflected in the contents of family education . Although the contents of Chinese family education can also devided into moral education , intellectual education , physical education and artistic education , but intellectual education has been the most important one since they go to school . However , the contents of American family education is abundant , which pay more attention to the harmonious development of language , emotion , knowledge and so on . It is so-called “education for all-around development 10” .Ⅱ.The reasons for the differences mentioned above:1. Different historical background11China with a long histroy has a sort of cohesive and conservative sense of worth , which is lack of spirit of adventure and innovative consciousness . There is a shortage of environment in which people can accept new ideas . By contraries , America is a nation of immigrants with a short history , there remains so little traditional culture . With the influence of multi culture and sense ofworth , it is easy to accept new thoughts and culture . So America children are better at taking risks and innovating .2. Different economic formChina has a long histroy with a large population .Therefore , there are so few opportunities to find a job even a good job which can decide one’s life happiness . And getting high marks has become a necessary condition to have a good job and future . The condition of econemy in America is better than that in China , so there are more employment opportunities in America . American parents think profession is not distinguished whether it is noble or nidering as long as they can survive in society .3.Different social conditionsSo far , social security system and old-age care have not been perfect in China . Many Chinese parents take their children as their private possession in order to receive the children’s return , which is reflected in the methods of education . For this reason , their children’s high scores have become their origin of pride . But in America , there is a prosper development of econemy and sane social security system , so American parents don’t count on their children’s support . They see educating child to be an independent , conscientious and kindhearted person as their duties .4.Different traditional culture12In China , people advocate collectivism which emphasize the collective interests more important than personal interests . Therefore , Chinese parents usually replace children’s interests by their own wills and thoughts . They design children’s future standing in the adult angle . What’s more , in Chinese family , parents can raise their children in the lifetime . However , stressing personality , upholding individual development and caring about personal benefit are all the cores of American culture . Rationalistic American parents insist that children after 18 years old should be independent and not rely on their parents .Ⅲ.The results of two different kinds of family education13: The results of family education in the two countries also display obvious differences because of the differences of education concepts , aim , methods and contents . These are mainly reflected in five aspects .1.Ability of adapting to the societyMost Ameican children can adapt to the society more smoothly than many Chinese children . They can face and overcome setbacks more easily .2.Ability of living independentlyCompared with independent American children , Chinese children have particularly much requirements and strong dependence ,and they always want to get others’ care .3.Interpersonal relationshipsAs a result of parents’overprotection , Chinese children have few ablities of personal interaction . American children are opposite at this point .4.Responsibility of supporting the oldGenerally speaking , Many American children lack the sense of responsibility to support their parents in comparison with Chinese children .5.The relationship among family membersAs a whole , the relationship among Chinese family members is more harmony than that among American family . The relationship of Chinese family is very close , but in America ,family members look like separate individuals .Ⅳ. Discussions and Suggestions14:In this thesis , it is only a generic comparative study on family education in America and China . Of course , there is also distinctiveness on it . In addition , compared with Chinese family education , American family education also has its obvious shortage . So the aim of this thesis is not totally to repudiate Chinese family education or wholly to accept American family education . In the end ,by the comparative study on family education in America and China , the writer wants to cause reform ideas of Chinese family education in order to improve Chinese education level .According to our country’s special circumstances, the number of one-child family is becoming larger , so family education must be improved in the project of educational reform and development and family education must be combined with school education and social education. Therefore, it is necessary to change traditional family education ideas .(1) Chinese parents should educate their children in social environment , in other words , theyshould not only teach their children the knowledge of survival , but also the responsibilities for the society .(2) Chinese parents must cultivate their children’s consciousness of independence,self-support , cooperation and the spirit of caring for others .(3) In China , education for all-around development should be vigorously advocated andimplemented effectively .(4) Much can be learned from each other on the ways of family education for America andChina .In a word , family education is very important . With the development of society , all aspects of family education needs to be improved .Epilogue:This is the first time for me to write thesis in English , and I haven’t had enough knowledge and experience , so there must be some shortcomings . I will appreciate it that my teacher can be kind enoug to point the mistakes and help me to correct them . In the meantime , I will study hard to know more about family education in America and China and make greater progress in the future .References :1.《浅谈中美家庭教育的差异》高维亮王丽艳（《科学时代》 2006.11）2.《学前儿童家庭教育(修订版)》李生兰华东师范大学出版社3.《美国家庭教育的启示》李盈（《教育实践与研究》2005.04）4. 《Gua Sha Treatment》郑晓龙导演5. 《不同文化传统下中美家庭教育中的评价比较》唐梅（《世界教育信息》2007.4）(加标注12)6.《论中美家庭教育的差异》曾芝兰（《太原师范学院学报》(社会科学版)2006.1）7. 校选修课《…………》授课教师：……8. 《中美家庭教育的对比与分析》（《联合早报网》）9.《The Pacifier》Adam Shankman10.《中美家庭教育比较分析及对策研究》李子银（《当代教育论坛》2007.06）（加标注13）11.Sina blog “tingting and her mother ”/jenniferyuting12．《American Family Education》ailin 中央编译出版社13.《East look , West see》zhaihua中图书店出版社14. 《中美家庭教育的六点比较》王乐（《家教指南》2008年第五期）15.《北大批判－中国高等教育有病》薛涌江苏文艺出版社16.《造就小主人：教导孩子在做家务中养成勤劳、负责的美德》帕特丽夏H·斯普林科知识产权出版社12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14。

In this way，we can improve our ability of cross-culture communication。
Key words：China,America,similarities,differences,education,religion,food Differences between the Chinese and American culturesAs we know ,there are many differences between Chinese and American cultures. If we desire to learn about U.S or communicate with Americans in proper way ,it is necessary for us to know about cross-cultural communication. Cross-cultural communication (also referred to as intercultural communication) is a field of study that focus on how people from different cultural backgrounds communicate, in similar and different ways among themselves, and how they endeavor to communicate across cultures. Only if we are familiar with the similarities and differences can we avoid cultural conflicts and get along well with foreign friends. When you are conc erned about what you can do and what you can’t, your foreign friends will show respect for your national culture and there is no doubt that you can enhance the level of cross-culture communication .In the essay,I’ll talk about similarities and differences in three aspects between Chinese and American culture :religion ,food and festival.1.religionAmerica is remarkable now, as in the past,for its attachment to the principle of freedom of belief or disbelief . –The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States indicates that "Congress shall make no law establishing religion, orprohibit the free exercise thereof."So you can choose your indivisual relision.According to the research, The largest religion in the US is Christianity, practiced by the majority of the population (76% in 2008)；Speaking in general terms, the contemporary American is a Christian country. A research indicates that most Americans believe the existence of Santa Clous, Christ Jesus and angel even after they have received edu cation and become adults. It’s easy to see the ingrained status of Christianity in the United States of America. Christianity has the idea that people have original sin, because human ancestors, Adam and eva had sinned, corrupt moral invaded their body, and transmitted to their descendants, the result is that all mankind have sin. Obviously, Christianity preached that man and God, the separation of man and nature. China is a multi-religious country, and Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Christian are the main religions in the country. Incomplete statistics show that there are more than 100 million religious followers in China with over 85 000 religious sites, over 3000 religious groups and some 74 religious colleges. Chinese people also enjoy the freedom of religious belief according to law, and regular religious activities are protected by the Constitution. All religious believers and non-religious people in the country respect for each other in beliefs and customs and live together in harmonies. While Chinese religion would emphasize that the harmony between man and nature, issues of life within a confined themselves, to solve problems with people- oriented. It’s quite different from the Christianity.2.foodGenerally speaking, we Chinese think food is very important to man. People often associate food with important holidays and the chance to meet distinguished guests. The Chinese food not only is very delicious and tasty but also very pleasing to your senses and many of dishes have very beautiful and fancy names. The Chinese have the food culture of our own which are quite different from westerners. In the west, people pay more attention to the nutrition of food rather than the looks of it. The cuisine and table manners are quite different from ours in a great extent.It is a very common practice we Chinese people say "Have you had your meal?" when they meeteach other around the time before or after meals. In fact, it is a kind of greeting to communicate with each other. But foreigners cannot understand that because they think why you ask me this. They tend to think you want to invite me to dinner or I am not rich enough to feed myself regularly but that is my business not yours. Chinese think food is very important and essential to people so it shows some care and concern about you. Very often it puzzles foreigners a lot that we ask and talk so much when we order our food in the restaurant. One reason is we ask what the food or the dish is and try to clarify it because you sometimes never know what the food is just according the name of the food until it is put on your table in the restaurant just. While most of western food has a simple and clear name and you know what it is when you hear the name. For instance, there is a traditional food call "fish and chips" in the UK. You see it is very obvious it is fried fish and potato chips. The reason for this in China is on the one hand to try to tell you the way it cooks such as cook, fry, grill and broil in the name and on the other it has beautiful good names so that you have a good imagination and association to let you have a good appetite.Generally speaking, we don't use much tableware when we have our meal in China. Mainly we have bowl, dishes, chopsticks and spoons, which we don't use very often. In serving English meals, they use so much tableware with different kinds and sizes. The Chinese do not know how to use them properly when they are invited to dinner in English family. For example there are different kinds of names for glasses in English, such as wine glass, cherry glass, brandy glass, beer glass, snifter glass, champion flute and high bowl. You can see tableware also show the food culture of different countries.cationUs’s higher education was considered as the best education in the world. Comparing the elementary education between American and China, people's universal view will be: China's elementary education aims to build the foundation of education with more study and less thought; while US's education aims to bulid such an education to raise the creativity with less study and more thought. the Chinesestudents study more, actually pay little attention to the practice, and cannot study for the purpose of 's education pays more attention to raise student's self-confidence,independence,spirit of supporting oneself, but China's education emphases on training the students to be strict,rigorous spiritual. When American school inspects the result of student, they emphasize more on the ability to analyze and solve the question but not the ability of memory or description. The American students donot need the mechanical memorizing, but display creative thought as far as possible; This can cultivate student's study interest, raise the ability of doing it byself and make the study be one kind of creative action.Conclusion:Chinese culure is broad and profound,but American culture also has its unique and style.After learning this class,I have a general impression on American culture,there are quite differences between Chinese and American culture.I think that it’s beneficial to be familiar to this differences for our cross-cultual communication.References[1]Luther S.Luedtke<The Society and Culture of the United States>America:United States information Agency,2003[2]托马斯﹒里克纳《美式家庭——品质教育家长对策》海南：海南出版社，2001年(2)[3]章创生《美国爸爸中国爸爸——向美国家长学教子》重庆：重庆出版社，2011(6)[4]董小川《美国文化概论》.北京：人民出版社，2006[5]铁梅《道教——中国道家文化百科999问》青海：青海人民出版社，2012(1)[6]赵林《西方宗教文化》武昌：武汉大学出版社，2011年(6)[7]学晏《佛家与管理》北京：社会科学文献出版社，2012年(6)[8]徐怀启《古代基督教史》上海：上海人民出版社，2012（6）[9]（美）米拉德﹒丁.艾利克森《基督教神学导论》上海：人民出版社，2012（6）[10]李维冰《中国饮食文化概论》北京：中国商业出版社，2006（6）[11]美国饮食文化，/view/2143412.htm。
中美教育差异英语作文
1 / 1313__来源网络整理，仅作为学习参考中美教育差异英语作文篇一：中美教育差异对比Education is Education is culture, and culture, and culture, and different different different educations educations educations show show show different different societies societies’’ culture. Americans regard education as the means by which the inequalities among individuals are to be erased and by which every desirable end is to be achieved. While Chinese education is for foundation education, but students may be not learn much. much. But But all all in in all, different different education education education systems systems account for the different phenomenon, because different society backgrounds and different culture helps human create a different country in the world.The different society structure plays an important part in the education system. In China, all those who can enter the University have received an elite education and beforeenrollment they have devoted themselves to hard studying. Therefore, Therefore, they they are good at getting high marks on mathematics, psychics and so on. However, they are lack of chances topractice skills in real world thus having no social experiences. In that case, after graduation, most students find it difficult to find a satisfactory job though many of them get a job through the relationship net.While in America, the education system pays more attention to social skills than to marks .Students have developed the ability to be independence in life and work. After university, they show great capability of thinking, innovation and creation which make them keep pace with the modern world. They are competent for the challenging work and can gain a good job in America with ease.There is a huge gap on education between America and China, butwe we can can can’’t t say which say which say which one one one is is is right or right or right or wrong, wrong, wrong, ‘‘cause cause each each each of of of the the education system is based on the different backgrounds,American education should be following the American American’’sculture, meanwhile, Chinese education has to follow Chinese culture. A good education model for China is very important to the learning process, and also is very hard. But the most important thing we need is the modern education which is internationalization education system education system and and and localization localization localization education education education systems systems systems unite for unite for China and America, this is also what the education itself needs.篇二：中美教育差异篇二：中美教育差异The Differences of Education between China and U.SBased on checking the extensive literature and summing up the evidence, it is clear that study about differences of higher education between China and US has carried out a lot whichmainly explaines the differences from different aspects of higher edcation between China and the United States. Such aspects mainly includes the social environment and cultural tradition, higher education system and reform measures. In the Integration of these differences, advantages and evils of both educational systems have been evaluated respectively, and corresponding corresponding improvement improvement improvement measures measures measures were were were also also also put put put forwords. forwords. forwords. By By summary, the detailed conclusions are listed as follows: US is a open society. The society's openness urges the American college to abandon old educational thoughts which European traditional universities stick to, adopt the open policy to absorb all advatanges from other countries and establishe a diverse and open education control system which emphasizes on the actual effect. US is the biggest imigrant country which has very strong containing nature in the culture. American economyephiseizes on the practical value, matter rewards as well as individual value realization with fast development, rich material life, strong material idea and etc[2].Us Us’’s higher education education was was considered considered as as the best education in the world. Comparing the elementary education between American and China, people's universal view will be: China's elementary education aims to build the foundation of education with more study and less thought; while US's education aims to bulid such an education to raise the creativity with less study and more thought. Now Chinese students are generally regarded asintalents with few intelligence and high scores. What causes for such a view? Because the Chinese students study more, actually pay little attention to the practice, and cannot study for the purpose of application. Therefore, it is very important for Chinese higher education to cultivate the idea of unifyingthe study and prctice.US's education pays more attention to raise student'sself-confidence,independence,spirit of supporting oneself, but China's education emphases on training the students to be strict,rigorous spiritual.Obviously, Chinese education may fruitfully develop and ultilize the function of cerebrum, but US US’’s higher education could expand the function of cerebrum by ultilizing and synthesizing the information outside. Each national higher education as economic system system’’sreflection serves for the the economy; economy; economy; US US education education aims aims to adapt for society demand, they explicitly stipulate three big functions including education including education’’s service for the economic development, scientific research and teaching. The manifest of service in the establishment of specialty curriculum is to meet the social need, set up special curriculum and specialty which the societyneeds; In China's universities, during quite long period of time, the establishment of specialty curriculum lacks the change and couldnot follow social demand.In order to adapt the society, the American universities has established many specialties and curriculum of choice for students; The students; The students students students choose or transformate specialties choose or transformate specialties choose or transformate specialties and and schools according to own interest and hobby. The American higher education system is extremely diverse and flexible, which is solo in the world higher education; In China, the student may choose the specialty according to own interest and hobby, but change of specialty in the school is not easy, and transformation of school is more difficult.When American school inspects the result of student, they emphasize more on the ability to analyze and solve the question but not the ability of memory or description. The Americanstudents donot need the mechanical memorizing, but display creative thought as far as possible; This can cultivateinterest, raiseraise the ability of doing it byself student's study interest,and make the study be one kind of creative action.Many teachers still adopted old teaching ways in the Chinese universities, thus take a test which needs mechanical memorizing.Due to the development of science and technology, connections between higher education and national politics, economy, science,culture, military relation is day by day closer. The higher education is vigorous and upward, and it not only simply performances for the growth of quantity, but especially has hadThe advanced level of highernature[1]. Thethe huge change in the nature[1].education has become a thesymbol of national strength.We should clarify the difference of higher education between China and American, at the same time absorb the advantges toprofit from the American higher education so as to faster the reform andthe development of our higher education.篇三：中美教育差异篇三：中美教育差异Us Us’’s higher education education was was considered considered as as the best education in the world.Comparing the elementary education between American and China, people's people's universal universal universal view view view will be: will be: will be: China's China's China's elementary elementary elementary education education aims to build the foundation of education with more study and less thought; while US's education aims to bulid such an education to raise the creativity with less study and more thought.

对比中国和美国英语作文阅读几篇英语作文，了解中国与美国是两个不同的国家，两者相对比的不同地方。
下面是小编给大家整理的对比中国和美国英语写作范文，供大家参阅!对比中国和美国英语作文：Comparision of education in China and America When we compare with America and China,we will find that there are so many differences between this two countries,and here I mainly talk about their difference in education.Throughout all kinds of points among their differences, we can sum up to six aspests.First,American Education tells students that study is just to study for themselves for the purpose of making them study without stress from their parents and society and letting them to think,to learn about they want,which makes American students learn flexibly and actively.With regard to China Education,it always makes some complex regulations for students to tell them learn what should be learned,how to learn and even when they should learn.As a result,students in China regard study as one kind of task,and get used to dealing with the homework passively. Second,as for the aspect about the purpose of education,America Education attachs a littleimportance to the study on basic knowledge but thinks highly of the cultivation of creativity, while in China,education pays more attention to the basic knowledge and ignores the cultivation of studentscreativity and thinking ability.Therefore,in America students who get low grades tend to have high ability while in China students who get high grades dont have enough ability to adapt to the development of society.对比中国和美国英语作文：中国和美国的早餐对比Here are many differences between China and the USA in the way of life.These differences performance in all aspects.Breakfast, For example,breakfast, the Chinese and Americans have many differences.Chinese breakfast often consists of rice and small amounts of vegetables, meat or fish. But in the USA people like to eat some eggs and toast.In China we like eat rice porridge or soybean milk in the breakfast.However, as far as I know, the Americans like drink coffee, milk or some fruit juice in the breakfast.In China,people like deep fried food much,like Oil Strips(you tiao, in China), what is long, deep fried strips of dough is similar to a doughnut. They can be sweet or salty, but in my opinion, Americans seems not like them.Americansprefer to eat some simple food, like bread, eggs, ham or to buy McDonalds hamburgers,in the morning.Traditionally, Chinese people like to eat their own breakfast at home.However, in many large cities, with the accelerating pace of life, more and more people are prefer to eat breakfast outside.The Chinese people buy bao zi and soybean milk to eat in the morning is just like the American people buy coffee in Starbucks and buy hamburgs in McDonalds. In China,people do not read the newspapers during the breakfast, but in American,people always read the newspapers when they eat the breakfast.对比中国和美国英语作文：中国家庭与美国家庭Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be. Most young Chinese parents have only one child, while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have.However, unlike the Chinese young people, many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents. They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married. Many of them would almost never live with their parents again. It is a sad thing indeed.Things are different in China. Both the young and the oldadmit the problems between them, but they will try to understand each other. Besides, sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children. So it is still very common in todays China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents. However, China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof.对比中国和美国英语作文：中美不同的社会习俗Social customs differ in different parts of the world. If we dont realize this, misunderstanding may arise between people that behave differently. In the United States, people are very informal in social situations. For example, they call each other by their given names when two people first meet. So do the young to the old. In China, it would be regarded quite impolite to do so.Another difference is about what can be talked about in a conversation. A Chinese thinks nothing of being asked how much his coat cost while Americans think it impolite to ask such a question. A Chinese woman doesnt care if she is asked about her age. Politics, religions, as well as incomes are often talked about among Chinese. But in the United States these kinds of subjects are usually avoided in conversation.Since there are many other different social customs between Americans and Chinese, the way that we behave and what we talk about requires our attention. If we keep these in mind, we will do it better and understand each other better.对比中国和美国英语作文：中美学生不同的校园生活There are many differences between American students and Students from other countries. Some of these differences are cultural differences that stem from the way people all over the world look at themselves and their relationship to others. The typical American student studies on average between 12 to 20 hours a week. This is very different when compared to most Asian countries where students can study up 40 to 60 hours a week.American students also spend a large portion of their time participating in extra-curricular activities like American Football, Cheerleading and Volleyball. While these activities can be available to students in other countries they are rarely pursued with as much enthusiasm as American students. This is because there are greater and more plentiful rewards for athletes in the United States then in most countries and there are many opportunities to excel at many different levels i.e. High School, College and minor league sporting teams.American students are very independent in their educational goals. They study alone and it is considered a matter of pride to succeed without the help of others, this usually breeds fierce competition among students to out achieve each other on assignments or in the classroom. This is very different among students from other countries where a collaborative environment is created and students naturally tend to help each other.In some countries exams are given and a small group of students are asked to work on it together. This process of collaborative learning is just beginning to become popular in the United States, but is already looked upon as too different from what is considered traditional education. American students usually have a part time job while studying, and there is usually no uniform or dress code associated with education in the United States. Education in the United States is free until you are 18 years old, but college is paid for through scholarships, grants and loans. In some other countries School is always paid for. And students must wear uniforms this can make going to school very expensive.There are many similarities and differences between American students and students from other countries, andthat is what makes learning such a fun thing to do. 看过中国和美国之间差异的英语作文的人还看了：1.中国美国饮食文化差异的英语作文2.关于中美文化的不同英语作文3.中英文文章对比翻译4.有关美国2016年大选的英文文章5.2016美国大选英文文章。

The_differences_of_education_between_America_and_China
The Differences of Education Between America and ChinaEducation is the soul of a nation, a country can’t develop without education. Therefore, education is one of the most important thing in our life. As the education system should be based on its own society backgrounds, we can’t tell which is better between American education and Chinese education. But we can compare them in some aspects and tell the differences.First of all, the most obvious distinguish is that the goal of education. Chinese education is for foundation education, and American education is for the cultivation of students’ creativity and the ability of thinking and practice. Chinese students are good at getting high marks but on mathematics, psychics and so on. However, they are lack of chances to practice skills in real world thus having no social experiences. In that case, after graduation, most students find it difficult to find a satisfactory job though many of them get a job through the relationship net. While in America, the education system pays more attention to social skills than to marks .Secondly, the attitude towards study is different between American and Chinese. American education tells the students learning is for themselves, and help students to think about what to learn and how tolearn, so American students study actively, flexibly and creatively. Meanwhile, Chinese education has many prescription about what to learn, when to learn, and how to learn. In China, many parents only care about whether the children have a promising future, a good job, a good life or not and the teachers care no more than the high marks.What’s more, China and America have totally different tradition and exams. Chinese education focuses on the knowledge to accumulate and indoctrinate, on how students use and manage the knowledge they learned in school, and on how to understand the knowledge system and structure. Reversibly, American care more about how students use knowledge in society. It lets student challenge the knowledge, animadvert ideas, and focus on, exploit or create knowledge. These two types of attitude about education show us the different ways to understand knowledge, and also to show two countries with different education opinions.The last but not the least, as to the teaching methods, the two system have done a totally different. For school education, Chinese teachers tend to explain the known knowledge such as formulas, academic theories, and that, on the contrary, overseas teachers are more likely to enlighten students and guide them to probe into the unknowntheories. Chinese teachers often give students a conclusion and it is the best if the students have no problems. But American teachers are good at enlightening the students to find more problems. For family education, in Chinese family , affected by Chinese traditional culture , parents educate children by “ control ” and “ seal ” type . Most American parents emphasize more to train their children’s ability of independence once they are born because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood .This is the differences between education of two countries in my eye.。

中美高中教育差异英语作文
中美高中教育差异英语作文Differences Between Chinese and American High School Education。
High school education is an important stage in the academic journey of students all around the world. However, the approach to high school education in China and America differs significantly. In this essay, we will explore the differences between Chinese and American high school education.First and foremost, one of the key differences between Chinese and American high school education lies in the teaching methods. In China, the education system is largely based on rote learning and memorization. Students are expected to memorize vast amounts of information and regurgitate it during exams. On the other hand, in America, the emphasis is on critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Teachers encourage students tothink outside the box, ask questions, and engage indiscussions.Another significant difference between Chinese and American high school education is the level of competition. In China, there is intense competition among students to excel academically and secure a spot in a prestigious university. This pressure often leads to high levels of stress and anxiety among students. In contrast, in America, the focus is more on individual growth and development. Students are encouraged to pursue their interests and passions, rather than just focusing on academic achievements.Furthermore, the structure of the high schoolcurriculum also differs between China and America. In China, the curriculum is standardized and students are required to study a set number of subjects. There is little room for customization or flexibility. In America, on the other hand, students have more freedom to choose their courses andtailor their education to their interests and career goals. This allows students to explore a wide range of subjectsand develop a well-rounded education.In addition, extracurricular activities play adifferent role in high school education in China and America. In China, extracurricular activities are often seen as a distraction from academics and are not given much importance. In America, however, extracurricular activities are an integral part of the high school experience. Students are encouraged to participate in sports, clubs, and community service activities to develop leadership skills, teamwork, and social skills.In conclusion, Chinese and American high school education have their own strengths and weaknesses. While the Chinese education system emphasizes academic excellence and discipline, the American education system focuses on creativity and individuality. Both systems have their merits, and there is much that each can learn from the other. Ultimately, the goal of high school education should be to prepare students for success in the ever-changing global economy.。

中美家庭教育的差异On Differences of Family Education Between China and America AbstractFamily education, as the most important part of education, has aroused general concern of most people. American parents encourage children growing freely. They pay much attention to children’s development of non-intelligent part. They also encourage children express their feeling and thought so that it can nurture children’s imaginative and creative ability.

During the process of children’s growth, Chinese parents take the academic achievement seriously, even as the most important one. This thesis recounts the results, goals, contents, and the parenting styles of America and China. Further more it analyses the reasons why two countries’home education differ so much, including historical backgrounds, economic forms, and cultural traditions.Through the general comparison of two countries’family education, the thesis tries to give some suggestions for our country’s family education reform.Key Words: Chinese home education; American home education of; process comparison; some suggestions for Chinese home education摘要家庭是人才培养的首要基地，所以家庭教育越来越受到人们的关注。
美国教育和中国教育的不同的英语作文
美国教育和中国教育的不同的英语作文Differences Between American Education and Chinese EducationEducation is an essential aspect of society, and it plays a crucial role in shaping individuals and preparing them for the future. In this modern era of globalization, it is essential to understand the differences between various educational systems worldwide. Two prominent countries with distinct educational systems are the United States and China. In this essay, we will explore the differences between American education and Chinese education.One of the primary differences between American education and Chinese education is the emphasis on creativity and critical thinking. In the United States, the educational system focuses on nurturing students' creativity, encouraging them to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to problems. Students are often encouraged to participate in group discussions, express their opinions, and think independently. On the other hand, Chinese education places a strong emphasis on memorization and rote learning. Students are required to memorize vast amounts of information and regurgitate it on exams, which leaves little room for creativity or critical thinking.Another key difference between American education and Chinese education is the teaching methods employed in the classroom. In the United States, teachers often use interactive teaching methods, such as group projects, debates, andhands-on activities, to engage students and make learning more meaningful. Teachers also encourage students to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and seek out new information. In contrast, Chinese education is often characterized by traditional teaching methods, such as lectures, drills, and exams. Teachers are seen as authority figures, and students are expected to listen quietly and absorb information without question.The structure of the educational system is also different in the United States and China. In the United States, the educational system is decentralized, with individual states and school districts having significant autonomy in setting curriculum standards and educational policies. This decentralized system allows for a greater degree of flexibility and innovation in education. On the other hand, Chinese education is highly centralized, with the central government setting strict guidelines for curriculum standards and educational policies. This centralized system can sometimes stifle creativity and limit educational innovation.One of the most significant differences between American education and Chinese education is the focus on standardized testing. In the United States, standardized testing is used as a tool to assess students' progress and evaluate schools' performance. While standardized testing is an essential aspect of American education, it is not the sole determinant of a student's abilities or potential. In contrast, Chinese education places a heavy emphasis on standardized testing, with high-stakes exams such as the Gaokao determining students' future prospects. The pressure to perform well on these exams can be overwhelming for Chinese students, leading to high levels of stress and anxiety.In conclusion, American education and Chinese education have distinct differences in terms of emphasis on creativity and critical thinking, teaching methods, structure of the educational system, and focus on standardized testing. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, and understanding these differences can help us appreciate the diversity of educational approaches worldwide. Ultimately, the goal of education is to prepare students for the challenges of the future and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.。
关于中国和美国教育的英语作文
关于中国和美国教育的英语作文Education is a fundamental aspect of any society, shaping the minds and futures of its citizens. When comparing the educational systems of China and the United States, there are both striking similarities and notable differences. Both countries place a strong emphasis on education, recognizing it as a crucial investment in their respective futures. However, the approaches and philosophies underlying their educational frameworks vary significantly.In China, the education system is highly centralized and standardized, with the government playing a dominant role in curriculum development, resource allocation, and policy implementation. The focus is on fostering a strong work ethic, discipline, and academic excellence, with a heavy emphasis on rote learning and high-stakes examinations. The gaokao, China's national college entrance examination, is a prime example of this, serving as a make-or-break moment for students' educational and career trajectories.The Chinese educational system is often praised for its ability to produce top-performing students in subjects like mathematics andscience, as evidenced by the country's consistent high rankings in international assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This success is largely attributed to the rigorous curriculum, long school hours, and intense competition among students. However, this system has also been criticized for its narrow focus on test scores, which can lead to excessive stress, lack of creativity, and a stifling of individual expression.In contrast, the US educational system is more decentralized, with a greater degree of autonomy at the state and local levels. While there are national standards and initiatives, such as the Common Core State Standards, the overall approach is more diverse and flexible. American schools place a stronger emphasis on well-rounded education, with a focus on developing critical thinking skills, fostering creativity, and encouraging extracurricular activities.The US system also offers a wider range of educational pathways, including traditional public schools, charter schools, private institutions, and homeschooling options. This diversity allows for more personalized learning experiences, catering to the unique needs and interests of individual students. Additionally, the American approach to higher education is more diverse, with a wide array of universities and colleges, each with its own distinct academic programs and admission criteria.One of the key differences between the Chinese and American educational systems is the role of standardized testing. While China's gaokao is a high-stakes, all-encompassing exam, the US relies on a variety of assessments, including college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT, as well as state-level standardized tests. This approach is intended to provide a more holistic evaluation of a student's academic performance and potential.Another notable distinction is the emphasis on student-centered learning in the US, as opposed to the teacher-centered approach more prevalent in China. American schools often encourage active participation, problem-solving, and collaborative learning, with the aim of fostering critical thinking and independent problem-solving skills. This contrasts with the more traditional, lecture-based instruction common in Chinese classrooms.Both educational systems have their strengths and weaknesses, and each country has made efforts to address the perceived shortcomings of their respective approaches. China, for instance, has introduced reforms to promote more creativity and reduce the excessive pressure on students, while the US has worked to improve the quality and equity of its public education system.Ultimately, the differences between the Chinese and American educational systems reflect the broader cultural, political, andsocietal differences between the two countries. China's emphasis on discipline, hard work, and academic excellence aligns with its collectivist cultural values and the government's focus on national development. The US, on the other hand, places a greater emphasis on individualism, personal expression, and the development of well-rounded citizens.As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, there is much to be learned from the strengths and weaknesses of both educational systems. By recognizing and understanding these differences, educators and policymakers in both countries can work to create more comprehensive and effective educational approaches that cater to the diverse needs of their respective student populations. Through this cross-cultural exchange of ideas and best practices, the quality of education can be enhanced, ultimately benefiting the future generations of both China and the United States.。

IntroductionIt is well known that higher education has been more and more significant all over the world. Because of the development of science and technology, the relationship between higher education and national politics, economy, science, culture, military is becoming closer and closer day by day. This mutual relation especially shows in aspect of higher education. The higher education is vigorous and upward, and it not only simply shows the growth of quantity, but especially has had the huge change in the nature. China and America share many characteristics in higher education. However this paper has mainly discussed the differences between Chinese and American higher education. The two countries are different in four significant aspects: (1)social environment and cultural tradition (2)education system (3)graduates ’ability (4)education reform measures.II. Comparison of the social environment and cultural tradition between China and America2.1 contrast of social environment and traditional education between China and AmericaAmerica is the biggest immigrant country. American economy emphasizes on the practical value, as well as individual value realization with fast development, rich material life, strong material idea and etc. The American advocates the independent way of life and work. The American owns full creative humanities spirit, the innovation is the forever subject in their brains. They pursue the hi-tech and prefer to compete.C ontrast with young USA, China is the great nation with glorious history and cultural traditions. The Chinese people have the excellent moral of modesty, but also have been over cautious and conservative. Though Chinese economy and technology is quite backward, it has very strong potential development, and Chinese students worked hard since they were small. Therefore China implements the policy of opening up, abundantly absorbs the benefit and enriches itself.The education between Chinese and American is extremely different. American education aims at building such an education to raise the creativity with less study and more thought. USA pays great attention to train the students’ practice ability to utilize the knowledge, cultivatingthe students to ask the knowledge and authority and building the ability to extend the knowledge system. That fact that 1/3 of numbers among all Nobel Prize winners in the world are the American is a very good illustration.Compared with American higher education, China’s higher education aims at building the foundation of education with more study and less thought; Chinese education pays more attention to instill and accumulate knowledge, cultivating the students’respect to the knowledge and authority and building the ability to inherit the knowledge system.III. Contrast of higher education system between Chinese and American3.1 different establishments of curricula and specialtyA nation’s higher education is the reflection of economic system. American education aims at adapting for society demand, they explicitly stipulate three big functions: education’s service for the economic development, the scientific research and teaching. The manifest of service in the establishment of specialty curriculum is to meet the social need and set up special curriculum or specialty which the society needs.In China's universities, during quite long period of time, the establishment of specialty curriculum lacks the change and could not follow social demand. In the latest few years, the majority of Chineseuniversities all started to pay great attention to the transformation and renewal of establishment of specialty curriculum so as to meet the need of society.3.2 different choices of specialty curriculaIn order to adapt the society, the American universities have established many specialties and curriculum of choice for students; the students choose or transform specialties and schools according to own interest and hobby. The American higher education system is extremely diverse and flexible, which is solo in the world higher education.In China, the student may choose the specialty according to own interest and hobby, but change of specialty in the school is not easy, transformation of school then is more difficult. In American universities, the compulsory courses are few, and elective courses are rich. While in Chinese universities, the compulsory subjects occupy the major part, and many schools（especially for technical colleges and universities）have the phenomenon of more emphasizing on the Science subjects, little on the liberal arts.3.3 different styles of inspecting students’ resultWhen American school inspects the result of student, they emphasize more on the ability to analyze and solve the question but not the ability of memory or description. The American student need the mechanical memorizing, but displays creative thought as far aspossible .This can cultivate students’study interest, raise the ability of doing it by self and make the study be one kind of creative activity.However, many teachers still adopted old teaching ways in Chinese universities, thus takes a test which needs mechanical memorizing. Such an inspection method has seriously attacked the students’ enthusiasm of study, caused the student to one-sidedly pay great attention to the theory and neglect the ability of practice.3.4 different styles of students’ managementIn the United States, many students at the school could conveniently take the IC card with a photo; the cards can be used to enter libraries and computer rooms and other facilities such as gymnasiums and other coliseum throughout the academy. Experienced consultants equipped by the school would help students to determine their main direction (major, a bit like our domestic professional) and guide students to choose specific classes. After selecting courses, in accordance with the school timetable, the septic time, place, classroom and course is entirely controlled by individual who means that everyone has the right of their own curriculum.Unlike American students, Chinese students also need arrangements of classes and dormitories. Compared with the USA’s IC card, our domestic student card and library card is similar to it. Except these, Chinese school has no experienced consultants to help students todetermine their main direction. As for the accommodation of students, some schools have a limited number of student dormitories, each school has a restaurant and fast-food shops, but most of them are always operated by outside operators where management are independent of schools. Most of students prefer to share a flat and live outside. So their dinner and lodging almost have no relationship with the school.3.5 different methods of teaching lessonsIn the United States inspiring students is great important for teaching. In classroom teachers will specially put forward some inspiring questions for students. In such a teaching mode, the students in the classroom have a higher degree of freedom, and they can be ready to make their own doubt for teachers which made the teaching atmosphere lively and vivid. This method of teaching helps to develop students’abilities of independent thinking and solving problem, however, this approach has a high demand for teachers which easily lead to a decrease in teaching quality and depth.China's higher education pays more attention to the systematic study. When teaching the curriculum, teachers should follow in accordance with certain teaching programs. Students have certain interactive questions, but this question tends to be discussed after the class, rather than in the classroom. It is the main mode that class is taught by teachers and students just listen to the records. This approachis conducive to help the students learn systematic knowledge. The class content is quite rich, but they have less sense of innovation.3.6 differences between public and private schoolsThere are more than 1500 public school of higher learning and more than 1600 private institutions in American. Both the public and private schools have a good reputation and high quality of the university. Very few Americans judge the quality not from the perspective of public and private schools, but from their teachers, courses and history.However, many Chinese believe that private schools can be unmatched with the public schools, and they are belittling or making an exclusion of private schools in heart. In private schools, Chinese people indeed should learn from the Americans, abandon the prejudice and make a correct and fair assessment for private schools.IV. Differences of quality and ability of graduates between China and US4.1 differences of actual talents fosteredIn actual talent fostered, the ability of adapting to society from American students was stronger than the Chinese Students. There are more and more opportunities to participate in social activities. Almost all the students have the experience of working outside. At the same time, civic education, campus cultural activities and community service activities in America increase the students’ability to adapt to thecommunity. While the Chinese Students stay under the closed campus for a long period，they have little direct ties to society and poorly understand the community, therefore Chinese students have to adapt to working atmosphere later than American’s students for two to three years.V.Difference of reform measures5.1 American reform measuresCurrently, American progress in the field of technology and knowledge occupies about 80 percent. The data is higher than one of the developed countries in Europe. Institutions of higher education should make indelible contribution to such a data. To meet the challenges of the 21st century, since the mid-1990s, the United States accelerates the reform of higher education systems which aimed at improving the quality of teaching and management efficiency and make greater contribution to the development of community and economy.Unprecedented expansion of social function of American University has become the power source for social development and progress. Therefore, the United States government policy-makers set off a new round of the 21st century-oriented reform of higher education to promote the development of higher education as a national goal of the important strategic initiatives.In the 21st century, the key point of American higher education reform is to achieve universal highereducation and make all over 18-year-old American youth have access to higher education.The overall idea of American Education reform is to build a higher education system which adapt to times’ demands. The most important measure is the reform of basic education and secondary education, the aim of idea is to meet the demand of adapting to the multiple reforms in future. To implement a strategic goal of universal higher education, the United States took a number of very innovative reform measures based on a substantial increase for education. These reform measures include: (1) implement small class teaching; (2) strengthen bilingual teaching, make college graduates more competitive and more adaptable; (3) improve the quality of teachers; in the system of employing teachers, schools take measures to employ formal teacher and informal teacher. In teaching methodology, teachers must adopt the modern teaching methods with integration of traditional media and modern media together for teaching.5.2 Chinese reform measuresRegarding the quality education as the most important thing, China's higher education implements the strategy of sustainable development, broaden the area of knowledge base, promote the integration of cross-disciplinary and connection between schools and society.Such a style aims at cultivating talents with a strong sense ofpioneering spirit, self-confidence, originality and boldly challenging the authority. China has been adhering to the reform of higher education for a long time. The most notable effect from the college merger is improvement of teaching effect. The College merger resolves some problems from the current teaching system uncoordinated with the international trend of socialization and market and enables educational resources to promote the effective allocation. The second measure is to set up the college courses in a market-oriented direction and adapt to the needs of society. Now in many school curricula’s is diverse, the initiative measures are taken to meet the needs of the market, at the same time a number of professionals closely related to social life are set up. The third initiative measure is based on the target of student-oriented.Since the 20th century, China's higher education emphasized the training of personnel ability, including the ability of acquiring knowledge, ability of analysis and problem-solving, ability of creating and certain organizational ability. At the same time the concept of quality education is put forward, which emphasizes the ideological and moral qualities, cultural quality, physical and mental quality. As a main part, students are not only the educated ones, but also participants of education.VI. ConclusionAll in all ,America’s higher education is different from China’s, it mainly performs through four points (1)social environment and cultural tradition (2)education system (3)graduates ‘ability (4)education reform measures. In order to reduce these differences, we should take some appropriate measures.In order to decrease the distance between Chinese higher education and American higher education, we should understand the difference of higher education between China and American, and absorb the advantages to profit from the American higher education and the development of our higher education. First of all, China's higher education should change from the "examination-oriented education" to "quality education". What is more, Chinese higher education should establish”people-oriented”education concepts. Besides, Student's sense of participation should be fully prominent in teaching practice. Teaching should focus on taking individualized teaching methods, strategies and techniques, widely apply the science teaching methods such as "free discussion", "self-study", make teachers and students exchange their ideas free, train students to learn initiative and creativity, promote students’initiative and creativity. Moreover, teaching management should achieve the reunification of system and flexibility.References[2] 丁往道，吴冰，英语写作基础教程[M]，高等教育出版社，1998[1] 李泽同，透视美国[M]，北京对外经贸大学出版社，2003[3] 史静寰，当代美国教育[M]，北京社会科学文献出版社，2004[4] 吴明熹，教育政策的基本价值取向[J]，高教研究参考，2006[5] 谢安邦，七方教育丛书[J]，中国社会科学出版社，2001[6] 袁衍喜，现代教育改革探索[M]，北京人民教育出版社，1987[7] 张文英，中美高等教育比较与启示[J]，黑龙江高教研究，2005THANKS !!!致力为企业和个人提供合同协议，策划案计划书，学习课件等等打造全网一站式需求欢迎您的下载，资料仅供参考。

The Education of America and China
The national power can’t develop without talent resource; meanwhile talent fostering is based on education. So a country’s power is determined by her educational level. In other words, education is significant to a country’s development.
As two major powers, China and America’s education styles are quite different. In my opinion, the reason of the difference includes three main aspects: history, culture and college entrance examination.
China is a country with an ancient civilization, so she has a long history. Imperial examination is the product of the long history, which influences the current Chinese educational style a lot. However, American history only has several hundred years. As a result, her educational style isn’t influenced by ancient history. As for culture, there exist enormous contrasts between China and America. Relatively speaking, China is conservative but America is on-limits. Though Chinese culture is attached to profound history, American culture is freer. The last point is that Chinese college entrance examination’s competition is rather keen. Owing to this, Chinese students have to study in a fixed pattern to get good marks.
In terms of me, I prefer American education style. Because I think if one receives American education, he will have much freedom to study whatever he is interested in. Also, his creativity will be developed quickly. Moreover, American students’capabilities can evolve in an all-round way, not only in the study. On the contrary, some Chinese students only can study, and they even don’t know some basic living skills and can’t take care of themselves. In America, you can study in a relaxed and happy way. It seems that American educational style is perfect, but, in fact, it has a shortage. Some American students may have too much freedom so that they are out of control and walk in a wrong way.
Chinese education is kind of modeled, which may limit children’s intellectual exploration. In addition, students’ learning task in China is too much. They get large quantities of pressure and often have little time to relax. On account of it, students are likely to feel tired of studying and lose their learning motivation. Chinese education
style seems to be discouraged, but it can really select excellent students and foster talents in certain area.
In a word, Chinese education style and American education style both have their strengths and weaknesses. What we should do is to learn from others’strengths to make up for our weaknesses.。
