Contrast & Comparative Writing.

Welcome back dear classmates, hope you are super good. Today we are going to continue learning more about composition.

In the class #6 we learned about compare and contrast essays. In this type of writing you need to have two elements.

💠 Comparison in writing discusses elements that are similar, so, you write the things both elements have in common.

💠 Contrast in writing discusses elements that are different, so, you describe the differences between two elements.

This time our weekly task consists in the writing of a compare or contrast essay; we need to select two elements. 

My task: 

Living in the city and living in the countryside.

Living in the city and living in the countryside have it differences but also each of them have their advantages. I born-and-raised in the countryside, it is amazing. Also I have temporary lived in the city I can say I have experienced a lot from both worlds. Look for a place to live sometimes it is difficult for people that want to be comfortable in their homes.

People in the countryside have their own crops that help them to survive, to earn money, people work in lands cultivating vegetables, fruit, varieties of grains such as beans, corn, coffee and sugar cane, it contributes with the economy of the country and helps people that live in cities. I the city you don have this kind of jobs you have other opportunities such as working in stores, restaurants, call centers, malls, security and so on, depending on your studies level.

Talking about education, in the countryside for some students is difficult to get their studies, people need to walk for a long time to arrive and attend their classes while studying in the city the school can be close or far away from home but people have the transportation facilities, people can take the bus whatever time they want, but in the countryside you people have to walk so students get tired to they classes.

In the countryside there is a late transportation, there are less busses than in the city, so people have an estimated time to travel, in the city there are a lot of busses to go wherever you want and at the time you need. But also it helps with the air pollution,  in the countryside the air is cleaned by trees. This kind of problems according to the World Health Organization (WHO) the exposure to a high levels of air pollution can cause risks of several health problems like the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease, and lung cancer, which affect children and older adults  in the city. Busses, cars, are one of the most main pollutants in the city, other are gas emissions from industries, garbage. In the countryside we have no much pollution but fertilizer and pesticides are soil pollutants.

Going to the Health Center in the countryside is difficult, sometimes people need to wake up in the early morning an don’t have the opportunity of having a medical consultation while in the city are alternatives there are the public  hospitals, private health Centers/hospitals were people can go. In the country side people do not waste money in bus tickets but the health centers are not equipped with advanced technologies, nor all the hospitals but some of them do.

The city an the countryside are beautiful, in both you have different opportunities and different advantages and some disadvantages, living in contact with nature is incomparable to live in contact with air pollution in the city but every person has different needs that make them to move to the city.

Thank you for reading me.

Till next time.
