Shopping in Stores Vs Online
Shopping is everyone’s favorite thing to do. It can also be addictive. Therefore, many people accumulate a lot of debt. In addition, men can also get involved and do a lot of shopping similar to women. The three main differences between shopping in stores and online are fitting, cost and time.
Shopping at stores is the best way to shop. Consumers can get the exact size of the clothes or a close look at the item. However, shopping on line can cause many issues especially with the size. In fact, sometimes the size runs smaller than others. Moreover, it can ruin any plans you have and its too late to fix or react to the situation.
Shopping online is not a good way to shop. Shoppers end up paying extra fees and the shipping cost. Moreover, the fees can add up ore than what the item is worth. However, shopping in stores comes out to be cheaper because shoppers don’t have to worry about extra fees and shipping cost. No one likes to spend more money than they have too.
Finally, shopping in stores is the fastest strategy to shop, and it makes all the shoppers happy to buy the exact things there are looking for. However, shopping online consumers have to wait at lease two weeks for their item to arrive, and sometimes it can take as long as three weeks if the company in a different country. There is also a possibility that the package can take longer if it gets lost.
In conclusion, the difference between shopping in stores and shopping online is the opposite. Shopping in stores makes it very easy to find the right size, price, less time. However, shopping online is not as good as shopping in stores because its difficult to find the right size, costs more with the extra fees and longer to receive. Indeed. Iv`e always shopped in stores it makes me feel happy.

Women in Different Times
Nowadays, we can find women in any area of professional career. However, women were just set free about 50 years ago, and at that time, their job choices were much more limited. So it’s common to think that women in the old time were easy to control; in contrast, today’s women are more independent and harder to compromise. This was also the way in which I saw old women and new women. But after watching the Devil Wears Prada and Mona Lisa Smile, I changed my mind. These two movies are about two women, who live in different times, do different jobs and have different endings.
The first difference between “Devil” and “Mona Lisa” is the background. “Devil” takes place in New York, which is a big fashion city in America. In addition, it is in the time of an intense competition. On the other hand, “Mona Lisa” takes place in the 1950s, which is such a traditional time, especially for women’s roles. At that time, the women, who just took care of children and husband at home, were considered as models. People think it’s the role which women were born to fill.
Another difference between “Devil” and “Mona Lisa” is the experience of the two women. Andrea is the main character in “Devil”, and she works as a second assistant of a fashion magazine. She decides to do the job. Because if she does well, she would get any job she wants in New York. For this purpose, she tries her best to finish everything her boss requires, even if it might hurt her family and friends. In contrast, Katherine in “Mona Lisa” is an art teacher in Wellesley College, which is the most traditional in the nation. She always has her own opinions about art and teaching ways, which scars the leading group of the school. Consequently, they force her to obey them, or they will fire her. Nevertheless, Katherine is a woman with strong willpower, so she still insists on her own way of dong things.
The final difference between “Devil” and “Mona Lisa” is the ending. Andrea drops her job, when she realizes that she is taken advantage of by her boss. She goes back to her former life, and she gets her dream job. Moreover she realizes that the family and friends is the most important thing to her. Unfortunately, Katherine lost her job unwillingly. Because she loves the job and she wants to stay. In addition, after working in Wellesley for one year, she has taught her students to see the world with new eyes. Finally, she leaves the school and sails to Europe to make another difference.
These two movies are both about women’s experiences of their jobs, but with different perspectives in different ways. After comparing the two women, I have learned that no matter what job you had, you should insist on your own belief, and remembered what the most important thing in your life was. So get courage, and go to purse your dream job.
c/c essay Fast food vs home-cooked food
Everyday before cooking my dinner I always think about whether I should cook or not and what kind food I will eat. I always have to take a long time, it’s always the same food and doesn’t taste good. However, if I eat out, it is more convenience and there are more choices. This case is not only for me, many people have a similar problem as me. Food is plentiful and anywhere we can see the restaurant to eat to get food, therefore, many people like to have fast food. Nevertheless, fast food is not always good. In comparison fast food with home-cooked food there are differences.
Biggest advantage of fast food is price. Fast food return commercials always emphasize about their prices. When fast food compared with home-cooked food it is cheaper. For example, you want to make burger at home, you need to buy bread, patties, and lettuce. If you buy all these things, you will pay more money than fast food restaurant.
Another point is the quality of the food. When you cook at home, you can control which ingredients you use, how to cook and cooking material. So you can use more fresh and healthy ingredients than fast food. Fast food restaurant food contain high cholesterols, trans fat, moreover, it also contain high calorie these lead lacking of nutrition. Therefore, home-cooked food has high quality also you can feel secure about your foods.
The last difference between fast food and cooking at home is time. The reason why many people go to fast food restaurants are time saving. After you order just five or ten minutes later you can get your food. In addition, fast food restaurants have drive-thru so you don’t need to get out of your car.
Fast food and home-cook food have many different points. On price and time fast food has more advantages, but home-cooked food offer more benefits on the quality. From my perspective, fast food has more benefits than cooking at home, however, even it has more profit I prefer to eat home-cooked food. Because it is healthier and nutritious.
Love and Like
“Does she love me, or she just like me?” People are always confused with the definitions of love and like. These two kinds of relation should be parts of the most important things in a person’s life. I think nobody wants to say that he doesn’t need love from his family and friends. Even though sometimes there are some people who love to live alone. However, they may desire love and friendship. At least, they love themselves. I find that there are three differences between love and like.
First of all, the feelings of these two things are totally different. If you love somebody, you may miss her every second. When you think of her, you might think “what is she doing? Does she miss me as I miss her?” Especially at night, people usually think of many things before sleep. For this reason, people may be in a difficult condition of falling asleep. It is said that the feeling of love is so strong that it affects a person’s daily life. On the other hand, people should feel much weaker if he just likes someone. For example, you won’t miss your friend in a whole day if there is nothing special happening to him even though he is your best friend. When something reminds you of him, you should be pleased and think about the old days between you and him.
In addition, the time you spend on your lover should be different from what you spend on your friends. “I want to stay with you forever,” this is the most famous quote when someone has fallen in love with another. People always hope to stay with the one they love. It is worth spending a whole life on her. However, I don’t think you will stay together with your friends every day. Although people always say: “love is temporary, friendship is forever,” they really want to accept that love is forever.
Finally, the behavior in these two situations is different. You may become crazy when you are in front of the person you love. Even if you are so shy, you may want to show her your admiration. Flowers and special gifts are very common, but you won’t be bored when you do the same thing every day. You might remember all the special days of her and become gentle when you spend time with her and her friends. Nevertheless, liking someone will make you be excited. You just keep your style and do what you did before. Moreover, you won’t mind showing your disadvantages to your friends.
If you want to know much deeper about love and like, just imagine that love is wine and like is water. Wine may put you into a different condition. In contrast, you just need water and won’t be excited when you have it. Besides, love is more desirable than like for a person. And then people will look forward to meeting their lover but not their liker. It is impossible to decide which one is better, but we do want to get what we need and what we are lacking.

DIFFERENCES OF LIFESTYLE IN A SMALL AND A BIG CITY
If you moved from a small town to a big city you are definitely going to become aware what the differences between these too life styles are. And regardless the situation, I think everybody can have a happy life no matter the place. Within these too comparisons are for example, the transportation, the pollution, and, the diversity of people.
One difference between the small and the big city is the transportation. For those that live in a small city and did not have a vehicle, it could be hard because they don’t usually use public transportation and the distances are shorter. Despite that people in a big city use cars; then is here where it will always be traffic no matter the time.
Another difference between these two lifestyles of live is the pollution. In a small city, it is more likely to breathe fresh air in which will be less possibilities to get any illness. Moreover, when you woke up in the big city early in the morning, all you are breathing is dirty air that is only polluting your longs.
Finally, the most important difference in this comparison is the exceptional diversity that both cities definitely have even though in a small or in a large portion. It is not very common to see out in the streets of a small city that much diversity because the size of the city and not even the people are not used to have residents from outside. Therefore, the diversity in a big city has lot of advantages since it gives you the opportunity to learn more about people and many dialects that can led us many perspectives about life.
Now we conclude this contrast between the small and the big city. But as it’s mentioned, in order to live comfortable besides the transportation, pollution or the diversity in a place, the most important role to contrast all these roles is been aware how to live happiest forever either at one or the other one.

Eat in and eat out

Revision of compare /contrast essay
Eat in or eat out
Eating is our basic necessity in our daily lives. Some people like to eat in, but some prefer to eat out. People’s decisions are usually based on their economic reasons, dietary restrictions and preferences. These are the three reasons for us to choose to eat at home or dine out.
For the economic reasons, eating at home could save money since we don’t have to pay tip. Every thing we could make or prepare by ourselves. However, we need to go shopping, cook and do the dishes. That can waste us a lot of time. In contrast, if we eat out we have to pay tip and the cost is high. Then, we have to spend more money. Nevertheless, we could save the time that is equal to saving our money. Furthermore, it is convenient to have service in a restaurant.
From the healthy aspect, eating at home, we could have less trans fat, no MSG and control the salt, sugar and oil. On the other hand, going out to eat, we might get more trans fat food, have MSG and some people may be allergic to MSG. Moreover, a lot of fast food provided by fast food restaurants like MacDonnell, Kentucky or Wendy is junk food.
The final difference is the choice. There is less variety eating at home, but it could be tastier. If we always stay at one place for dining, it seems so boring. Conversely, eating outside, we could eat different ethnic dishes or cuisines in various neighborhoods around the city. For example, this week we pick bulgogi in a Korean restaurant, next week we eat sushi in a Japanese restaurant. Tasting different food is interesting and educational.
On the whole, both of these choices have their own special advantages and disadvantages. For instance, after we get a pay-check, we could go out dinning at upscale restaurant to enjoy our lunch or dinner. If we are broke, we may eat fast food for a meal. However, eating at home, we can also enjoy our special recipes and cooking with our family members .It is so nice to eating at home.

An event that changed my life
I have never forgotten that moment when I heard some very bad news that changed my life. The person who was my uncle died two years ago. His death was a great shock to me. When I found out that he only had three months to live, I felt really sad about that. He died from cancer. I had no chance to talk with him. Now I understand why he always said that humans can’t exist without air as similar as humans can’t have a nice life without a healthy body. He had gotten cancer 2 years before. But he had never told anybody because he did not want anybody to worry about him. My uncle was a teacher and he taught me a lot of things about life and studying. I remember when I was in high school, I always had some argument with my parents and I did not like to stay at home. I was not a good student in the teacher’s mind. My teacher told me like, “don’t think it like this, don’t do anything like that”. But I always listened to it with left ear and it went through on my right ear. So I really regret that I had never accepted his opinion before. Granted that I want to listen to him, I have no chance anymore. Whatever I have remembered he spoke to me for his last moment. He held my hand tightly and talked to me very slowly. He said, “You are not a little kid now, you can control your life with your own mind. You are going to be a successful person. Listen to your parents’ opinion. They love you so much. When you are old, you have to look after them.” I was pained by his sickness. My uncle’s words rose in my mind during the life. It helps me more in the future. Basically, I want to be a doctor because of my uncle. I think doctors are the people who can help the patients directly whenever they need. You will feel more successful after that. In order to achieve my goal I must study hard from now on. Furthermore, my uncle also talked about the relationship of the relative is more important. Now, I am in communication with my parents when I have some problem. We can get on well with them always. Life is valuable, and we only have one life, life belongs to us only one, so we need to do something that we will not regret.
