If we can make good use of short conjunctions, transitional words or phrases, writing will get twice the result with half the effort. These transitional phrases are necessary because: firstly, it can make the article easier to read and understand by readers and tutors; Secondly, because transitional phrases have many different types and meanings, the use of these phrases can play a very natural and smooth role in inheriting contextual semantics and transferring from one argument or topic to another.

At a deeper level, transitional words can connect the full text and show the level of the paper, which is helpful for readers to better understand the structure and content of the paper.

Phrases expressing transitional meanings have different types and meanings. Basically, transitional phrases can be divided into three categories:

Transitional phrases that express comparative meanings are often used in comparative papers.

You may not understand these phrases very well compared to listing them. I have prepared an example of comparing and contrasting articles for you, so you can understand:

I marked transitional phrases with comparative and contrasting meanings in bold. It is not difficult to see that most turning phrases appear at the beginning or end of a sentence. They play a role in commitment or transformation. Of course, for some complicated sentences, the possibility of turning words or short words in sentences is not ruled out. When writing comparative and contrasting papers, students are advised to use compound sentences as little as possible. Most teachers prefer simple sentences.

Theme selection

First of all, the theme of this paper is to compare two different travel modes: backpacking and hotel accommodation. These two ways are two common different forms of travel, so the model essay chooses a good theme. A good theme is the basis and premise of thesis writing. Choosing two topics or things that are easy to compare can not only reduce the difficulty of writing English papers to a certain extent, but also make them easier for readers to understand. Of course, the most important thing is the value of the theme. If you choose to compare or compare two things or two situations, it is meaningless or meaningless, then there is no need to discuss.

Study two or more topics or things.

Some teachers ask to compare two different topics (compare their differences), and some papers only ask for comparison (compare their similarities). Of course, there are also cases of comparison and contrast at the same time, and it is necessary to analyze the differences and study the similarities. Fan is a typical comparison between two different things and analyzes the differences between them.

The structure of the paper

The structural arrangement of the model essay is a typical subject paper structure. The first paragraph of the text is an introduction, which mainly introduces us to the following two topics to be compared: backpacking and hotel accommodation travel. The second and third paragraphs are the main parts of the main paragraph. The second paragraph mainly introduces all aspects of backpacking (mainly from the aspects of cost, safety, feasibility of the plan, etc.), and the third paragraph mainly introduces the situation of hotel accommodation travel (also from the aspects of cost, safety, plan implementation, etc.). The last paragraph is the last paragraph, which makes a final summary of the above two methods. At the same time, it emphasizes the main viewpoints and arguments supported by the author-the author suggests choosing hotel-style tourism.

To sum up, a good comparative composition requires at least two conditions:

First of all, we need to choose a topic that is easy to compare and valuable. When choosing a topic, it is best not to use several obviously different or obviously similar things or situations. A subtle difference suddenly discovered may be more impressive than several well-known fact lists and have the effect of an excellent paper.

Secondly, according to the needs of the paper, the main structure of the paper can be arranged, which can be selected point by point, block by block or control.

Besides, attractive introduction, correct grammar and spelling are equally important.
