......ABOutline of Paragraph 2 Topic sentenceA 1B 1A2B2A 3B 3A4B4There are two major ways of organizing paragraphs of comparison and contrast. One way is to examine one thing thoroughly and then start the other. In this way, the aspects examined in the two things should be identical and in the same order. The other way is to examine two things at the same time, discussing them point by point. Suppose A and B stand for two things and there are three aspects to be compared, then the first pattern is: A(1), A(2), A(3); B(1), B(2), B(3); and the second is: A(1), B(1); A(2), B(2); A(3), B(3).Writing Strategies从上面的段落可以看出，交替类比法或交替对比法用于集中讨论两种事物的几个特点，先指出一种事物的一个特点，接着同另—种事物的相应的特点进行比较。这一方法适用于讨论内涵比较简单，特点比较突出的事物。
当我们想深入地讨沦两种事物的相似的特点而这些相似特点的内涵比较复杂，需要详细解释时，可以先详尽阐述—事或—人的各种特点然后再同相比者进行全面的比较。

Some of my classmates think it understandable that if some of the students forget to go to the toilet during the break, they can also go there during class. If they’re not permitted to, they can’t concentrate in class. What’s worse, it will affect their health.
The others disagree, saying it will be hard for teachers to keep order in class. Moreover, their study can also be interrupted. So, they should form a good habit and learn to control themselves.
As far as I’m concerned, younger students can be permitted to do so, but older ones shouldn’t be encouraged, since they have a 10-minute break every 45 minutes.
