THEORY AND DISCUSION

2.1 Comparison And Contrast

A. Meaning

What is Comparison And Contrast

A compare and contrast essay is a type of essay in which the similarities and differences
between two or more corresponding subjects are highlighted and analyzed. The main goal
of this essay is to come up with an original argument based on the breakdown of two or
more topics.

B. Examples of Comparison and Contrast Sentences in English

To make a comparison, you will need a phrase that needs to be involved in the
sentence. In order to better understand Comparison and Contrast, you also need to
know what examples of sentences are. The following is an example of a comparison:
1. “As…. US”
Example: The task isn't as hard as they thought it would be. (The task is not as
difficult as they think).
2. “In common with”
Example: Myanmar, in common with Singapore, has two seasons. (Myanmar, like
Singapore, has two seasons).
3. “In comparison”
Example: Ashel is short in comparison to Adel. (Ashel is short compared to Adel).
4. “Similar to”
Contoh: Elephant, similar to whale, are mammal creatures. (Gajah, sama seperti ikan
paus, adalah makhluk mamalia)
5. “Same…as”
Contoh: My father makes a coffee the same good as the coffee at the cafe. (Bapak
aku membuat kopi yang sama enaknya dengan kopi di kafe)
6. “In the same way”
Contoh: In the same way they can win in games. (Dengan cara yang sama seperti
mereka menang dalam permainan ini)

C. Structure
● There are two main ways to structure a compare and contrast essay, namely using
a block or a point-by-point structure. For the block structure, all of the information about
one of the objects being compared/contrasted is given first, and all of the information
about the other object is listed afterwards. This type of structure is similar to the block
structure used for cause and effect and problem-solution essays. For the point-by-
point structure, each similarity (or difference) for one object is followed immediately by
the similarity (or difference) for the other. Both types of structure have their merits. The
former is easier to write, while the latter is generally clearer as it ensures that the
similarities/differences are more explicit.

 EXAMPLE ESSAY

Title: There have been many advances in technology over the past fifty years.
These have revolutionised the way we communicate with people who are far
away. Compare and contrast methods of communication used today with those
which were used in the past.

Before the advent of computers and modern technology, people communicating

over long distances used traditional means such as letters and the telephone.
Nowadays we have a vast array of communication tools which can complete this
task, ranging from email to instant messaging and video calls. While the present
and previous means of communication are similar in their general form,
they differ in regard to their speed and the range of tools available.

One similarity between current and previous methods of communication relates

to the form of communication. In the past, both written forms such as letters were
frequently used, in addition to oral forms such as telephone calls. Similarly,
people nowadays use both of these forms. Just as in the past, written forms of
communication are prevalent, for example via email and text messaging. In
addition, oral forms are still used, including the telephone, mobile phone, and
voice messages via instant messaging services.

However, there are clearly many differences in the way we communicate over
long distances, the most notable of which is speed. This is most evident in relation
to written forms of communication. In the past, letters would take days to arrive
at their destination. In contrast, an email arrives almost instantaneously and can
be read seconds after it was sent. In the past, if it was necessary to send a short
message, for example at work, a memo could be passed around the office, which
would take some time to circulate. This is different from the current situation, in
which a text message can be sent immediately.
Another significant difference is the range of communication methods. Fifty years
ago, the tools available for communicating over long distances were primarily
the telephone and the letter. By comparison, there are a vast array of
communication methods available today. These include not only the telephone,
letter, email and text messages already mentioned, but also video conferences via
software such as Skype or mobile phone apps such as WeChat, and social media
such as Facebook and Twitter.

In conclusion, methods of communication have greatly advanced over the past

fifty years. While there are some similarities, such as the forms of
communication, there are significant differences, chiefly in relation to the speed
of communication and the range of communication tools available. There is no
doubt that technology will continue to progress in future, and the advanced tools
which we use today may one day also become outdated.

CONCLUSION

3.1 CONCLUSION
The purpose of a compare and contrast essay is to emphasize the differences or similarities
between two or more objects, people, phenomena, etc. Therefore, a logical conclusion
should highlight how the reviewed objects are different or similar.
