Comparison and Contrast-Draft1

Shopping in the departmant stores and in the Internet

Nowadays, we are lucky that there are many different ways for us to buy things.For example, you can choose to buy things in the department stores or in the Internet. But, there are differences between shopping in the department stores and the Internet: the prices, fit or not, and touch and feel the products.
First, we are going to talk about the prices. Most people must compare the price and choose the cheaper one before they buy something. It’s not easy to get the special price from the department stores. If you want to det lower prices, you can wait for the anniversary of the department stores. On the other hands, it’s easier to have lower prices when you shop in the Internet. Especially when there are many people buy the same thing you will have the lower price.
Secondly, “Fit or not” is also very important for the consumers. It’s hard to make sure that the thing you want to buy is fit or not when you order something from the Internet. But, if you choose to shop in the department stores you can ask the clerk and try on it.
The last point, touch and feel the products. It’s absolutely different between shopping in the department stores and in the Internet. It just like the second point which we mention. You can’ feel and touch the products which you want to buy from the Internet. But you can do that when you shop in the department stores.
Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. No matter which way you prefer, just remember that before you buy something you should compare more . And, the most important thing is to be a smart consumer!

Classification-Draft 2

Everyone has many friends. Also, friends play an important role in everyone's life. For me, friends can be classified in three groups, childhood friends, friends from schools, and friends from our work.
The first type of friends are childhood friends whom I have known for several years so that we know each other very well. But, I think it's hard to keep in contact with these friends. I had a lot of friends when I was a child, but now there are only a few friends we have contacted each other.
The second type of friends are friends from schools. We spend most time in our school life, so this kind friends play an important role. We always discuss our assignments, concern with each other's study, and talk about everything about our classmates or teachers. My best friend Maruko was my classmate in junior high school. We have known each other for seven years. I remember that one day when we were in junior high school, I was sick and I didn't go to school. The next day when I went to school, I found that Maruko already helped me to make copies of all the class notes. Until now, I am still feel glad to be friend with Maruko.
The third type of friends are friends from work. We need friends in job. They can be very helpful to us and we can learn a lot from them. They may be our co-workers or our senior officials. I have a part-time job in an English cram school. I have a foreign boss and many co-workers. My boss treats me as friends and he teaches me a lot. I really learn many things from him. I have a very good partnership with my co-workers. Because of them, I feel relaxed when I am working. I like to work there.
I think everyone always needs friends. They affect us a lot. I am so lucky that I have many good friends in different field and I cherish them.
