Compare and contrast-- draft one

Comparatives between small grocery stores and large supermarkets
Where can we get our daily needs around our life? Some might say in grocery stores, others might say in supermarkets. Well, small grocery stores and large supermarket stores can be different from the following three points. We can tell the difference from price, service and food.


First, let’s see the difference from the price. The price in grocery stores can be bargained. I think everyone have the same experience as I had. For example, if you buy some candies, the boss will give you the extra candies for the same prize, even not for candies, vegetables are the same. In contrasts with the grocery stores, price in supermarkets are unitary. The price showed on the lable is constant, and so do the amount of the things you buy. Such as, if you buy a bag of candy, six in a bag, and you can only get six candies, not for any extras.


Second, service in grocery stores is warm and friendly. The people in grocery stores are always kind, they chat with you just like a neighbor front your own house. On the other hand, the service in supermarkets are cold. They greet with costemers in boring and straitlaced greeting, like a stranger.


Third, food in grocery stores are fresh. For example, they sell the vegetables or fruits that they just harvest from the begetter; otherwise to the supermarkets, the food there are not so fresh but they have more multiple choise.


In conclusion, grocery stores and supermarkets are the place we get daily needs. It's hard to tell which one is better. It depends on how you feel when buying things and your favorite style to buy it.

The beneficial friends in three kinds
We can't live without the relationship of friends. They are also act us in diffierent consequences. Beneficial friends can effect us to good condition. As Confucius said: beneficial friends can be divided into 3 main categories. They are friends who are righteous, honest and knowledgeable.


First, let's talk about friends who are righteous. Friends are important in our life. At school, friends study and hang out together, sometimes have the same hobby, just as Birds of a feather flock together. For example, if you have friends who are deceitful, then you start to be deceitful, too. In contrast, if you have friends who behave rightful, you will be the same as them either. Your friends who are righteous, it will affect you into the good behavior.


Second, we all knew that honesty is the best policy. Honesty is the human quality of communicating and acting truthfully and fairly. This kind of friend will make you feel ease and comfortable. They won't cheat you, and like your family members.


The last category of friends and those who are knowledgeable. They are advantages to ourselves. You can learn a lot from friends, by asking them about their thoughts. These friends have morality and keep themselves in the higher standard. They ask themselves to do better and to try harder. Day in and day out, you'll have the same quality to them.


Nowadays, we cannot live without friends. If you want to live alone, that will be very difficult because we live in the groups in the world. According to what Confucius said, we should choose our friends from the three categories.
