English

Comparing and contrasting is something we do almost constantly. At the grocery store, we might decide what type of apples to buy based on taste preferences and price. At school, we might choose a topic for an essay based on our interest in the topic and our perception of its difficulty. At work, we might choose which candidate to hire for a position based on experience, educational background, and relevant skills. In each case, whether it is apples, essays, or future colleagues, we are using compare and contrast skills to help us to make a choice.
