Let’s Study and Discuss

and interests in comparing and contrasting
information.
You can do it!

Example
Listen to the story that your parent will read to you

Friendship Bond
By Abegail R. Gamiao

Amara and Lala are good friends. They go to the same school. They love to
play together. They love to volunteer in community programs that promote
environment conservation.

Although Amara is a Muslim and Lala is a Christian they are still friends.
Amara excels more in Science than Lala though Lala performs better in Arts. Lala
loves to eat food like Adobo. On the other hand, Amara likes to eat vegetables.

For them, it does not matter how different two people are as long as they
understand each other. This is what makes their friendship last.
 In what ways are Amara and Lala the same? Let us compare them. When
we compare, we look for their similarities. Words like similarly, also, both and
like show comparison. Here are their comparisons.

a. Amara and Lala both go to the same school.

b. They both love to play together.
c. They both love to volunteer in community programs that promote
environment conservation.

In what ways are they different? Let us contrast them. When we contrast,
we look for their differences. Words like on the other hand, while, but, and
however show contrast. Here are their differences.

a. Amara is a Muslim while Lala is a Christian

b. Amara excels in Science while Lala performs better in Arts
c. (Amara loves Adobo while Lala likes to eat vegetables)

Now let us show their comparison and contrast using the Venn Diagram.

We will put Amara’s description on the left circle and Lala’s description on
the right circle. We will put their similarities in the middle circle.
Let’s Try This

Activity 1

Directions: Listen carefully to the story that your parent will read to you
then compare and contrast the two cats in the story using Venn
diagram.

Jenny’s Two Cats

Lucky is bigger. Lucky has white and gray fur, whereas Princess is as black as the
night. Both cats are very friendly and love to play games. The two cats always eat
together but Lucky eats a lot quicker! After dinner they go upstairs and rest.
Lucky sleeps by the window and Princess sleeps on the bed with Jenny.

 When we contrast, we look for their differences. Words like on the
other hand, while, but, and however show contrast.
