How to express similarities and differences

04.11.2011

Hey guys,

today after warming up about your holidays, we analysed a scene from the movie Spiderman in comparison with the corresponding extract from the comic strip. Here is what we said about it and the chart we drew:

Similarities -> - journalist / reporter

- lab / science lab

- spider exhibition / exhibit

- experiments on spiders

- enemies

- in love with a girl who doesn't know it

Differences ->

* In the comic strip * In the movie

- alone / on his own - classmates

- listens / watches - takes photos

- radioactive - genetically modified

- bites on the palm of - bites on the back of

his hand his hand

- Sally - Mary Jane

Exprimer la similitude:

- Like ...

- Both ... (and ...)

- The same ... as ...

Example: * Like in the movie, Peter is a reporter in the comic strip.

* Both in the comic strip and in the movie strip, he has enemies.

* In the comic strip, it's the same thing as in the movie: he's in love with a girl who doesn't know it.

Exprimer le contraste:

- Contrary to ...

Unlike ...

- ... whereas ...

... while ...

- ... different from ...

Example: * In the movie, the guide is a woman whereas in the comic strip, the scientist is a man.

* Contrary to the movie where he takes photos, in the comic strip he just listens and watches the exhibition.

* In the comic strip where the spider is radioactive, it's different from the movie where it's genetically modified. It's a new species.
