General Writing Paragraph Development by Comparison and ContrastParagraph development by comparison and contrast usually has three patterns to follow: one is to develop through illustrations to show how things are different, another is to discuss similarities only, and still another is to treat both likenesses and differences. We can use all the three patterns or just one of them to show the similarities and/or differences about objects or opinions both in social and academic life. 通过类比和对比的方法展开段落可遵循三个模式：第一，通过举例说明事物的差别；第二，仅研究事物的相似之处；最后则是对其相似点几差异两方面进行研究。我们可以同时采用全部三个模式。也可只用其中一个来表明事物以及社会生活与学术上的观点的异同点。Ex.19Two Modes of Travel: Individual Travel and Package Tour Individual travel is usually an independent travel. Most travelers of this kind have to arrange everything the flights, hotels, meals, and sightseeing program themselves. Cumbrous as these things are, they provide you a good chance to contact local people and practice your ability to deal with various unexpected events. The simplest and most comfortable way of traveling at a reasonable price is a package tour. Participants will have their itinerary, hotel accommodation and meals, and sightseeing program booked in advance. A tour guide from the local travel agency will pick you up at the airport. He or she will take care of you and take you to the scenic spots.V. Practical Writing: Trip Itinerary A trip itinerary provides the travelers with a general description of program for sightseeing, and usually consists of a tour arrangement and a list of scenic spots for traveler to visit. Such trip itineraries are often seen in newspapers and magazines, and, more and more popular, on the Internet as tour advertisement. 1)Read the sample first. 2)Try to simulate and create.VI.
