Comparison and Contrast Essay
LIFESTYLE
Lifestyle is the way which a person expresses through actions, behaviors, attitude, work,etc in life. Everyone has their own different lifestyle. For me, I am pleased with my lifestyle, but I also admire the lifestyle of my father. My dad's lifestyle and mine have some different features, but also have similar ones in some ways.
About emotion, my father and I love family very much. We love people and like to help the poor, such as do the charity,..Besides, he has good responsibility for work. He is very enthusiastic. When he has a lot of work to do, he usually stays up late or gets up early to determine to finish all of them before deadline. Similarly, I also have responsibility with my studying. I try to do lots of exercises and homework before coming class.
In spite of similarities, lifestyle of my dad's and mine are different. About dealing with problems, because my father has experience of living, he can choose the best solutions quickly and decide them certainly. On the one hand, I solve problems slowly. I am not enough confidence, so I hesitate to give decision by myself. Moreover, whenever he faces troubles or something bad and unexpected, he also manages to overcome, thinks about good things, positive sides and has optimism view for future. In contrast, when I faces bad things, I feel bored, depressed and worried for a very long time. My father often saves money, he just buys something that he thinks it is really essential. On the other hand, I buy anything I like.
In short, my father and I are similar in emotion, responsibilities. But he also has some differences in solving problems, attitude, and using money which I really admire and want to have.

YOUNG PEOPLE NOWADAYS
Through thousands of historic years, society and life have developed deeply step by step: from ancient society to modern society, from backward life to civilized life. And people also have great changes, especially in young people. The young nowadays have inquiring mind, intelligent, creative. However, besides that a part of the young also has negative life which is worth criticizing.
Some young people are selfish, they just depend on parent's property, own possession, and use it without thinking. They just use money and needn't to know the value of money, so they waste a lot of money lavishly. That sum of money they spend every year can help hundreds of poor people. They can get money from parents easily, so they don't try to study or work to earn money by themselves. That often happens to some young people in rich families. Moreover, some young people ignore social problems, don't pay attention to any important social events around happening. For example, they live in big cities where are rarely suffered from serious consequences of natural disasters, so they are quite indifferent to big storm, flood in central of Viet Nam. They consider that as normal things, and even refuse to help, support for victims.
Also, some young people live without dream, ideal, and tomorrow. They spend much time on pleasures or entertainment, never have intention or plans in the future. Furthermore, some people use violence too much. Because now there are a great number of violent films which affect their attitude and behavior. Therefore, in real life whenever having arguments, they also use violence to solve. This is very dangerous, as it can be harmful to health, or threaten people's life seriously. Even with all these bad things, some people say that they are young generation, they have new lifestyle in modern society to affirm themselves. However I think that lifestyle isn't completely suitable for society. A modern life needn't new lifestyle like that, it needs persons being really useful for society.
The idea " young people nowadays have negative life" is right. However, negative life doesn't happens to all of the young, it is just in a part of them. That idea is like a reminder, warn in order for the young to consider, correct themselves and have more positive life.

However, if they consider what mobile phone's benefits could bring and supposing if there are not any cellphones, how people can contact with each other, especially in emergency situation, they would see the importance of cellphone. If we want to use cellphone effectively and safely, we can control, limit the time we talk on mobile phone and use a "hand-free" device to keep the mobile phone away from head and body.
Mobile phone is becoming a more and more popular telecommunications service in the world. There are a variety prices of cellphones, so people can choose suitable ones easier. Indeed, mobile phone has a lot of advantages and conveniences. In the future, perhaps there will be smaller, lighter and more stylish cellphones designed with another useful functions.

MY FIRST SCHOOL-DAY
The pale yellow sunlight streams into green grass in front of my house. A gentle breeze with a little cool of the autumn sweeps my hair. Leaves on the branches begin to fall. All these scenes make me remember the special autumn 14 years ago. It was the first time I went to school.
After a summer and wonderful holiday, I had to stop some interesting games to go to primary school, which was quite new and strange for me, a six-year old child. That day came nearer, my mood was more and more complicated, and so I couldn’t describe my feeling exactly: a bit of anxiety, nervousness, and eagerness. That morning, I got up early to prepare everything, have breakfast and be ready to go to school. All things seemed to be fresher and more colorful in my eyes. The sky became bluer, the clouds became whiter, the trees became greener, and even the road I used to go many times also seemed to be unusual. Finally, only after 10 minutes, I went to school.
I began to feel slightly scared because in front of the naive eyes of a child, everything in this school was very new and so big. Everyone around me was also strange, too. I didn’t know anyone. I stood close up to my mother and kept a firm hold of her hand. I was trembling and seemed to want to cry. She encouraged and told me “Don’t be scared. Everything would be OK”. Looking at around here, I caught sight of my neighbor-friend over there. I was so glad that I only said goodbye to my mother; then, quickly ran to my friend and talked with each other cheerfully. The sun rose higher, and shone the brilliant sunlight down the school yard as if it was welcoming us to this new school. At 7 o’clock, a guard beat the drum and the school-gate began to be closed later. We were instructed to queue up in right order and taken to our classrooms. Some pupils didn’t want to say goodbye to their parents. They cried and wanted their parents to go into classrooms with them. But I didn’t, I remembered what my mother said, I reminded myself “Be brave. I mustn’t cry”. My class was on the first-floor so I stood next to windows and had a look at everything beneath. Also, I was so curious to want to know what our teacher was like. Then after five minutes, she came to the class. She looked lovely with her long hair, black eyes and rosy cheeks. I was really attracted when she spoke. Her voice is very, very clear and sweet. With all her love, she brought us to the first basic lessons that I cannot forget. Actually, she was like our gentle mother. One day went by and I didn’t feel scared any more. In contrast, I was eager to look forward to next school-days.
14 years went by. Now I am a student at UTE; still, the feeling of the first school-day will be always fresh in my mind. It is a special memory, an unforgettable day, marking my first steps on the road to knowledge.

My garden is very nice with different species and colors of flowers. In the first warm sunlight of the early morning, drops of dew which are still on leaves and petals look like glittering diamonds. As the sun rise higher, some drops of dew disappear, leaving original colors of flowers: the purple of orchid, the red of cactus flowers, the pink of carnation, and the yellow, white,.. of other flowers. My garden become more and more lively in brilliant sunshine. I like watching small yellow wild flowers on the hence very much. These delicate flowers look so beautiful like small stars, especially when they swing slightly in gentle breeze. Also, sometimes I am attracted with the strong beauty of cactus flowers planted on the pots in the left-hand corner of the garden. Next to them, my father put some pretty carnation pots. And in the middle of garden, you will certainly delighted with the beauty and smell of a big tree which blooms all the time of year.
Moreover, I love my garden because it is really quiet and peaceful. In the right-hand corner, there is a rocking-chair.

It is wonderful to watch the butterflies and bees flying as if they're frolicking with flowers cheerfully. Sitting in such fresh air will make me relaxed, have a rest, and take away worries or pressure of life.
I also love my garden because it is the result from caring of all members in my family. Every corner of the garden is fruits of perspiration and labor of my family: from digging, fertilizing,.... to watering every day.

POLLUTION
Each of us desires to live in a clean environment. But in fact, everything doesn't come true as people's hopes. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, people's lives have been improved and had many positive changes. However, people also face one unexpected issue. It is pollution. This is a really big problem because of its serious effects.
In near future, pollution has had an influence on life directly. In some public places such as: markets, parks, streets,... there are a lot of nylon, plastic bags, papers,... thrown carelessly. These careless actions turn beautiful places into rubbish grounds, and make nasty smells around. Moreover, some sewerage systems are filled up with garbage, making rain-water be blocked and unable to drain quickly when it rains. Therefore after heavy rain, flood, a common matter usually happens, especially in big cities of Viet Nam. The more factories,companies and vehicles appear, the more smoke is released. We don't have fresh air to breathe any more. Also, when some toxic wastes are released, and absorbed into land, water, it is easy to cause severe disease for people, animal, and plant.
Pollution not only causes effects in near future, but also have many other serious effects in farther future, such as: global warming, and climate change. Temperature on the Earth is increasing 0.1 degree every ten years. The Artic and Antatic ice caps will slowly smelt, so the level of the oceans will rise, causing floods in many low-lying part of the world. In addition, when the climate changes, some areas will become wetter while others will become drier. Some areas which today are green and fertile will eventually turn into deserts. Besides, some tropical diseases like malaria, fever,... will get popular in areas where they haven't known yet today.
Actually, pollution is a problem being worth concerning in all countries in the world. People cause it and are also its victim. It effects our lives a lot in present and even in future time. We must realize the importance of environment, have specific actions to protect nature and keep our Earth green.
