• What is comparison & contrast?

• A comparison points out ways that two or more persons , places , or things

are alike.

• A contrast points out how they are different.

• The subjects of a comparison and contrast should be in the same class or

general category, with comparable items.

• How to write a comparison and contrast paragraph

• The topic sentence should show whether the writer will concentrate on

similarities, differences, or both.

• Then in the following sentences you should have to decide whether the

discussion will consist mainly of similarities or differences or both.

• In the conclusion, you can offer advices to the reader or looking in the future.

• Two Logical patterns

• 1)the subject –by –subject or Item－by－Item pattern/ block presentation(逐

事比较) (按照比较/对比对象展开)

• If we are dealing with two broad topics, which are not too complex or

detailed, we may begin by discussing the first one, and then go on discussing the

second, following the pattern: A1,A2,A3…;B1,B2,B3…

• It can be used in a short paragraph or essay.

• Ex. Model 1 There are many similarities between doctors and teachers.

First

,

both doctors and teachers are considered professionals by their communities. The

classification of professional is the highest socioeconomic rank an individual can

achieve in this society.

Second,

both doctors and teachers help others: doctors heal the bodies of sick

people, and return them to health, and teachers mold the minds of young people

and turn them into responsible , educated adults.

last

, both doctors and teachers

are essential members of a community. It is difficult to imagine a city or town that

has no need of either a doctor or a teacher. Such a place would truly be primitive.

• 2)the point-by -point pattern/ alternating presentation

• (逐点比较)(按照比较/对比内容展开)

• if the topic are complex or too detailed , it may be preferable to examine

them in pairs, turning first to one and then to the other alternately as we write,

following the pattern: A1,B1;A2,B2;A3,B3..

• It can be used in a long paragraph or essay.
