Education in Bahrain and the U.K

The education in U.K system is divided into early years ages 3–4, primary education ages 4–11, secondary education ages 11–18 and tertiary education ages 18+.Full-time education is compulsory for all children aged between 5 and 17, either at school or otherwise, with a child beginning primary education during the school year he/she turns 5.Students may then continue their secondary studies for a further two years, leading most typically to A-level qualifications. The leaving age for compulsory education was raised to 18 by the Education and Skills Act 2008. The change takes effect in 2013 for 16-year-olds and 2015 for 17-year-olds. State-provided schooling and sixth form education is paid for by taxes. U.K also has a tradition of independent schooling, but parents may choose to educate their children by any suitable means.
the education in Bahrain is nearly the same we have primary, secondary and with the same ages as will.But the different things are that we must wear uniforms in the primary, secondary not like the U.K in there secondary they can wear there own chose of cloths.They last thing is the time spend in school pre day in U.K they start at 8:00 am and finish at 3:00 or 4:00 pm and in Bahrain we start at 7:00 am and finish at 1:30 pm. 

and sorry for the first paragraph I have taken it from the internet because I did not know what to write about the education in U.K.

culture shock

culture shock 

The culture shock that happened to me when I arrived to the UK. the first shock is the weather in the UK it is cold and in my home town it is extremely hot weather it's a shock.In Bahrain the temperature is 27 digress and higher in the UK it is 18 or less.And the second thing is the steering wheel in my home town Bahrain the steering wheel is in the right side but in  the UK the steering wheel is in the left side that is a shock for me because if I wanted to drive in the UK it will be difficult because I'm use to driving in the right side so it will be hard for me, that is my culture shock from Bahrain to the UK.
