Better we learn more about the characters as the movie progresses; it’s not good if all the character developments happen in the first five minutes and in the rest of the movie the characters just follow the path set before them. And it’s even worse if the screenwriter uses a stereotype for ANY major character. One more thing—it’s important to me that the characters have a little depth.

85. Writing Writing for General Purposes Task 1 Writing for Specific Purposes Task Task 2

86. Writing for General Purposes Development by Comparison and Contrast To present different things or different aspects of one thing in a passage, a writer tends to highlight the similarities or differences to deeply impress readers about the distinctive features. To achieve this purpose, the writer often uses comparison or contrast in description. Comparison is usually used to indicate the similarities, while contrast is used to show the differences. Bikes have some advantages and disadvantages. First, they are very handy and convenient. It can carry you to anywhere you like in town and does not need a large parking place. Also, a bike, unlike a car, does not cause air pollution. What is more, it does good to your health if you ride it regularly. However, bikes have also brought about some problems. For example, they have made the streets very crowded, and some riders park their bikes anywhere, which leaves the city in a state of disorder. In the previous paragraph, the writer uses contrast to present the advantages and disadvantages of bikes. In the next paragraph, however, the writer uses both comparison and contrast in describing a newly married couple.

87. Writing for General Purposes Development by Comparison and Contrast Tim and Sally are a newly married couple. Both of them have jobs. Tim works in a bank downtown in the business district. He drives to his office. Sally has a law degree and works in a law office. She is now gaining the experience that she needs as she dreams of having her own office someday. Both of them grew up in a small town, so the trees and flowers in the park often remind them of their families. They miss the country life very much. Comparison is used to indicate their shared features: both have jobs; both are from a small town; both miss country life. Contrast is used to indicate their differences: Tim works in a bank; Sally works in a law office.

88. Study the following words and expressions and divide them into the following two groups. Writing for General Purposes Task 1 Suggested Answers: For Comparison: both, the same as, as... as, just as, similar to, similarly, resemble, likewise, 同样地；也 in the same way, like, alike For Contrast: while, but, otherwise, whereas, however, nevertheless, differ from, be different from, in contrast, on the contrary both, while, but, the same as, otherwise, as… as, just as, similar to, similarly, whereas, however, resemble, nevertheless, likewise, in the same way, like, alike, differ from, be different from, in contrast, on the contrary

89. Make use of the following sentences to form a paragraph. Writing for General Purposes Task 2 Sample Writing: Men remain attached to friends, but they do not necessarily keep in close touch. They call their families every other week or so, but a large amount of that is “checking in”. They talk more about what they do rather than their feelings. As for new relationships, men are interested in finding a “buddy” ( 伙伴 ) much more than an emotional confident ( 知己 ). For women, however, staying connected with families and friends plays a central role in their lives away from home. They talk long if they call. They tend to write long letters to share their experiences and sometimes work out their misunderstandings. Women know the relationships they want and tend to express their feelings to their friends. 1. Men remain attached to friends, but they do not necessarily keep in close touch. 2. Men call their families every other week or so, but a large amount of that is “checking in” ( 打招呼 ).
