We use a 4-paragraph format for Compare & Contrast, viz
1) Introduction: state which 2 things you are going to compare and contrast.
2) Compare the similarities: at least 3 or 4.
3) Contrast the differences: again at least 3 or 4.
4) Say whether the differences outweigh the similarities, or vice versa.
State which you prefer, or look at the merits/demerits of both. For example, with small
town/village v big city, say what you like about each. You can be positive about both.
It's important to express your own ideas/opinions if you want to get above the
minimum pass grade.
