Irene y José Luis durante
un día de julio
It’s a typical July day. But Irene is in Santiago de
Chile and José Luis is in Santiago de Compostela in
Spain. The days are quite different in these two
places. Write a comparison between a July day in
Santiago de Chile and in Santiago de Compostela.
Explain why the days are so different.
Because of the type of weather, Irene’s activities
on this day are probably different from those of José
Luis. Explain what each one is doing. Are they
wearing the same clothing or not?
Not everything is different, however. What are
Irene and José Luis both doing on this July day in
two different places in spite of the different weather?

Writing Strategy
Comparing and contrasting
Before you begin to write a
comparison of people, places, or
things, you must be aware of how
they are alike and different. When
you compare, you are emphasizing
similarities; when you contrast, you
are emphasizing differences. Making
a diagram or a list of similarities and
differences is a good way to
organize your details before you
begin to write.
