Expressing an opinion-(2) Should students wear uniforms to go to school?

  I'm in favor of wearing uniforms to go to school. First, it is convenient for students to go to school. They dont't have to worry about what to wear today. In addition, wearing uniforms gives others the impressions of clean and identical. That will make people feel comfortable. Although many people think that wear their clothes are more beautiful and also have more varieties  than wear uniforms, I still think that wearing uniforms is better than wearing our clothes. Due to all of these reasons, one must conclude that wearing uniforms to go to school is the best way.

Expressing an opinion-(1) Should the death penalty exist?

  Many people are concerned about the issue about death penalty. Some of them think it should exist, while the others have the opposite views. I think that the death penalty should exist. First of all, it deters people from committing crimes. When people want to commit crimes, they will think of the consequence and stop to do what they want to do. Second, it makes criminals pay the untimate price. Because they killed people, they had to pay for what they had done. No one has the power to deprive of one's life. Finally, it rids society of menaces. We don't have to live under the fear. Although it sometimes means killing an innocent person, the probability is tiny. It is for all the above-mentioned reasons that I support the exist of the death penalty.

Comparing-(2)-revised

  There are two famous people called John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. John was the important person in the American Revolution. Likewise, Thomas played an important role in the American Revolution. John was the delegate to the Continental Congress and so was Thomas. And, both John and Thomas were the authors and signers of Declaration of Independence. In addition, John studied and practiced law and so did Thomas. Finally, they both died on July 4, 1826. It's really coincident that they are alike in several ways.

  There are two driving licenses. It's a coincidence that the owners of the two licenses are both women. One of the women is Stephanie and the other is Ann. Stephphanie's eye color is brown. Similarly, Ann's eye color is brown. And both Stephanie and Ann are five feet and three inches tall. Moreover,  Stephanie has the same hair color as Ann. Finally, they were born on the same date. It's really amazing that they have so many similarities.

Contrasting-(2)

  I am going to hire a new English teacher for my school. And I received two resumes from people applying for the job. They are Lynn and Debra, and they have different experience. First of all, Debra has more education than Lynn. Second, Debra’s employment experience is abundant. However, Lynn’s employment experience isn’t as abundant as Debra. Finally, Debra has published the book about English verb tenses. Therefore, if I were the president, I would hire Debra. Because I think he is more qualified than Lynn.

Contrasting-(1)

  My friend and I are looking for an apartment to share near campus. And there are two apartments being rent, but they are different in several ways. First, the FairFax Apartments have two large bedrooms. However, the CAMPUS APTS have only one bedroom. Second, pets aren’t allowed at FairFax Apartments. In contrast, pets are allowed at CAMPUS APTS. Finally, the rent of CAMPUS APTS is cheaper than that of FairFax Apartments. I think I will choose the CAMPUS APTS to live.

Sally likes to wear pink dress. Likewise, Ann likes to wear pink dress. They also have the same brown eye color. In addition, both of them are good at playing volleyball. Finally, Sally is born on May 9, 1993, and so is Ann. It’s really a coincidence that they have so many similarities.
