[color=sienna][size=3][b]24[/b][b][font=宋体]．[/font]1 Comparison and Contrast[/b][b][font=宋体]（比较与对照）[/font][/b][/size][/color]
[color=sienna][size=3]Often we may want to describe several aspects of two subjects that have both similarities and differences[font=宋体]．[/font]When we compare two things[font=宋体]，[/font]we show how they are similar[font=宋体]；[/font]when we contrast two things[font=宋体]，[/font]we show how they are different[font=宋体]．[/font]We may compare or contrast two schools[font=宋体]，[/font]two cars[font=宋体]，[/font]two friends[font=宋体]，[/font]two jobs[font=宋体]，[/font]two cities[font=宋体]，[/font]etc[font=宋体]．．[/font]For this purpose[font=宋体]，[/font]we may employ the combined techniques of comparison and contrast[font=宋体]．[/font]In writing the essay[font=宋体]，[/font]you should always bear two important decisions in mind[font=宋体]：①[/font]Whether you are to do a comparison[font=宋体]，[/font]a contrast[font=宋体]，[/font]or a mixture[font=宋体]，[/font]or[font=宋体]②[/font]Whether you are to use an item-to-item[font=宋体]（逐事比较）[/font]or point-to-point[font=宋体]（逐点比较）[/font]method of development[font=宋体]（[/font]both have been explained and illustrated in Unit14[font=宋体]）[/font][/size][/color]
