3 My life, your life

Compare your life with that of Edna or Joseph from 2 in a text of around 250 to 300 words.

Step 1: Choose one of the profiles. Take notes: Where are there similarities between the profile and
your own life? Where are there differences?

to point out similarities and differences between two things. You shouldn’t first describe one
and then the other. You should compare each point individually. It can be useful to make a list
or table for this.
