1. Comparisons between
sentences
One way to make comparisons is to start a new sentence with a
word/phrase that shows that you are about to make a comparison with the
previous sentence. The basic words you need here are:
In contrast
The most popular form of holiday among the Welsh
was self-catering with over 60% choosing to cook for themselves. In contrast,
only 5 % of the English chose this form of vacation and hotel accommodation was
much more popular at 48%.
In comparison
Almost 50% of the English, Scots and Northern Irish
chose to stay in a hotel for their holiday. In comparison, staying in
self-catering accommodation was much less popular with around 10% of people
choosing this.
However
The general pattern was for hotel accommodation
to be the most popular with around half the people choosing it. The majority of
the Welsh, however, chose to stay in self-catering accommodation.
On the other hand
It is clear that a majority of the British chose
to stay in hotel for their holiday. On the other hand, there was an exception
to this because over 50% of the Welsh opted for self-catering
accommodation.
Note that we normally use a comma after In contrast and In
comparison.
Note that there are lots of different ways to use compare and contrast and
these are just the most basic examples. If you are looking for a higher band
score, it’s good advice to learn different ways to use these words.
Note too that typically however is not used as
the first word in a sentence.
