The British Middle Class

As the new ‘Middle Britain’ report shows that there are over half of the population say they are working class (53%), and over four in ten Britons (43%) now see themselves as middle class.

In fact, as the article said, the number of Britons who regard themselves as middle class has risen by nearly a half (44%) in the last 40 years. It means there is a trend that the middle class population will become more and more in the future.

To compare the middle class and working class people, it is not hard to find that the people, who are middle class, can earn more money than the working class, but with easier work. Furthermore, the middle class people can get better insurance and education than working class people.

In my opinion that is why more people wish they could be the one of the middle class.

Exploring British Newspapers

There are 11 national daily newspapers in the Britain. There are two kinds of the newspapers here. We can separate them from their size. One is with larger size and more details and information about the national and international news. The other one is with smaller size and less details about the news, but they usually have more pictures and advertisement. We can call these two kinds newspapers serious papers and tabloids. In addition, both of these two kinds of newspapers have their own reasons to attract people. And now I should talk about one newspaper of them which I usually read about.

When I take the train to go to the other places, I often take a newspaper named ‘Metro’ from the train station. In fact, this newspaper is free, that means maybe you can not get too much professional details or comment from this newspaper, but that not means this newspaper is not useful. In comparison, this newspaper is very useful for me. There are lots of advertisements and they contain much useful information, and the articles are not hard to read because they haven’t too many hard words, and it often come with many pictures that make me understand the article easily. Furthermore, it can help me to spend the boring time on the train and it really help to improve my reading skills.

In conclusion, although I only talk about one kind of the newspapers, in fact it can confirm that every kind of the newspapers have their one way to attract their readers.
