Comparison and contrast – Draft 1

Shopping places

Nowadays, we have two very different places that we can buy things on small grocery stores compared to large supermarkets stores. Until now, many people always choose small grocery stores to buy they need. Why don't they choose large supermarkets stores? Therefore, we will talk about three points that are the prices, service and food.


The first we will discuss is the prices. Recently, most articles for daily use raise the price and people always compare the price before buying. We always buy a lot of goods from large supermarkets stores because they sell wholesale and the unit price will low. Small grocery stores retail their goods and sometimes their unit price is low, too. Because small grocery stores most open in some small town and they often can not get much information about raising the price. At most time, large supermarkets stores' price will be lower than small grocery stores.


The second we will talk about is the service. Despite grocery stores are smaller than large supermarkets stores, they still have a lot of goods and some employees that is the boss's family. If you buy a lot, they will provide the service that carries the goods to your home. And they also provide the place to make many elders to chat. On the other hand, large supermarkets stores don't have those service, they set up a service counter to solve some problems from customers such as the kid lose, they will broadcast to find the kids. And they also build the parking lot to make customers to use.


The third we will discuss is the food. Small grocery stores' food sometimes will be overdue because their customers are fewer than large supermarkets stores. And their food's categories are less than large supermarkets stores. The large supermarkets stores provide cooked food to reduce housewife's troubles.


It is very convenient to buy any things in Taiwan. If you want to buy things, you can choose small grocery stores or large supermarkets stores at anytime.

Classification-Draft2

Categories of any friends

I have a lot of friends, and they can be categorized in three groups. The first category consists of the friends who can play volleyball. The next group includes the friends who can talk anything in our mind with each other. The last category is made up of the friends who can solve my English-learning questions.

The first category consists of the friends who can play volleyball. Kiki is one example of this category. She likes to play volleyball , and we always play it together. At the spare time, we often invite many classmates to join us. We often play until the sunset when we will go home. Playing volleyball is very happy for us.

I have eight best friends who can talk anything in our mind. Joyce is one example of this group. We often get together and spend a lot of time to eat lunch because we talk and eat a lot. When I have big trouble, she always help me to solve it. She cares me very much.

The last category is made up of the friends who can solve my English-learning questions. Penny is the best example. I have known her for six years. Because we have the same interests, we become good friends quickly. She majored in English, and now she is studying Japanese. She always tells me, "If you have any English questions, you can ask me and I will help you ."

All these friends are very important to me because they make me optimistic, comfortable and confident. I don't want to lose any one of them. And now I want to say "thank you" to them.
