According to one teacher's dialog, he said that citizens in France or Britain, people just work from 10:00 to 18:00 in working day, even bus drivers and workers in marker,and everyone can accept benefits of country. So,it's like the people in Europe live happiness and easily,everyone do not worry about job?room?food and medical treatment. Is it true? In china,85% family can not afford one house,most family have to work all life for their house?If you are boy, girls will not marry to you just because you have not house of yourself. In internet in china,there is a saying popular:"China is dangerous, do not live here afterlife."

Few people in Denmark start work at 10 a.m. The boss might show up at 10 or 11 a.m. but not the employees. Many shops open around that time, but the owners have to get things ready and they start before that time. The bus drivers don't start work at 10 a.m. either, because the first busses in my area leave around 5 a.m. Many people start work around 8 am, but some people for instanse nurses usually start at 7 a.m. Many people work after 6 p.m. for instanse bus drivers and some shopkeepers. It is not true that people in Europe don't worry about jobs or homes. There a lot of unmeployment and many people have been looking for a job for a very long time without success. In the popular places it is hard to find an apartment, and it not easy to buy a house either. To borrow money at the bank you need a high income and many people get turned down when they talk to the bank about buying a house. You are right about medical treatment though. In my country we don't pay directly for medical treatment. We pay for the medication that we need and we pay for dental treatment, but at the clinic/hospital we don't have to pay for examinations or surgery. Instead of paying directly for those things we pay via taxes which are very high (some people have to pay more than 60% of their income to taxes)

e, in Beijing, most people can get 3000-5000 RMB one month, but price of one house is 2,000,000-3,000,000. It means that you have to work for all life for your house.

I dont know what its like in China but here in Britain a lot of people do not just work from 10.00 - 18.00, ok some people do have 8 hour shifts but some people work longer shifts, and some have a few jobs. We dont have to worry about medical treatment as we have the NHS, but quite a lot of people are worried about thier jobs and their houses. A lot of people do not own thier own house Like I said I don't know what it is like to live and work in china, so I cant compare it, but a lot of people have a lot of worries here, basically because companies keep going out of business, so lots are losing thier jobs. So there are pro's and con's of living here just like anywhere else.
