In Text A, an anecdote or an incident is used. We also can introduce a topic by posing a question, or quoting other people’s words.32 Text Analysis•However, the more important point is that you should learn to vary your own writing by adopting various types of topic introduction. A good introduction can gain your audience’s attention, what other kinds of introduction you can think about to present your topic?•Without a conclusion, an essay lacks a sense of completeness. A conclusion may be a re-statement of the main points previously mentioned, a proposed solution, a suggestion for further study and so forth. Like in Howard Gardner’s essay, he makes a suggestion in the form of a question. 33 Writing Skills: Comparison & Contrast•Comparison and contrast come in three different ways.•Comparison: You are asked to explain how two or more things are alike – finding the similarities •Contrast: You are asked to explain how two or more things are different – finding the differences•Comparison and contrast: You are asked to explain how two or more things are alike and different – BOTH!34 The Two Ways of Organization•Here are two different ways (T-Chart and Venn Diagram) to organize information. •As an example, we will look at the Sabretooth (剑齿虎剑齿虎) and the Caribou （驯鹿）（驯鹿） -- two animals that lived during the Ice Ages.35 The T - ChartCharacteristicsSabretoothCaribouEnvironmentthe Arcticthe ArcticDietmeatplantsWeaponsteeth, clawsantlers, hoovesTeethsharp, pointedblunt, roundedAnimal groupmammalmammalWhen it livedIce AgesIce Ages/present36 The Venn Diagram37 Questions•1. Compare: How were the caribou and the sabretooth alike?•2. Contrast: How were the sabretooth and caribou different?38 Answers •The caribou and the sabretooth were both mammals. The sabretooth lived in the Arctic regions during the Ice Ages, as did the caribou. Like the sabretooth, the caribou was able to protect itself from predators.•Although the caribou and the sabretooth were both mammals, they were very different in many ways. The caribou was a plant-eater, unlike the sabretooth, which ate meat. The caribou had blunt, rounded teeth for eating plants, whereas the sabretooth had sharp, pointed ones. The sabretooth became extinct at the end of the Ice Ages, in contrast to the caribou, which still lives in the Arctic regions today. 39 Useful Expressions for Comparison and Contrast Comparison Contrast likeunlikethe same asin contrast toalikedifferent fromsimilarlesslikewisewhereasand, as well ashoweveralso, toobutjust as, as do, as did, as doesas opposed tobothon the other hand40 。
