Writing English 2A: Comparison & contrast with places, homes, & lifestyles・場所、家、ライフスタイルの比較対照

Hello! 



How are you? Today, let's look at comparison and contrast (比較対照), with different kinds of places, homes and lifestyles

Look at the apartment building above. Could you see yourself living in it? Maybe it's not your style, but maybe some other person might like it!

Activity/homework
Look at these different kinds of places and homes. Which do you like? Which do you see yourself wanting to live in? Which one is better than another one? Which kind of place or home fits your personality the best? Talk about these with your classmates and write some notes about what you like, and which you think is better. 


Life in Tokyo

Life in a small town


Living in a danchi

Living in an apartment 

Now how about your lifestyle? Which do you think you would want to do? Do you see yourself…

…getting married and having a family? 

Or being happy to stay single? 

Have fun! See you next time!
