compare+and+contrast

== The life in my hometown, Hangzhou and Wichendon are about different memories. They are have different attractions and charms, but I can still have interest and fun things in different places. This essay is going to make comparison and contrast between my hometown and Winchendon. I was born in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province, a big city in the east of China. However, I came to Winchendon to further mine high school, where is a high school that located in Winchendon, Massachusetts of the United States. ==

== Talking about the similarities and the differences between my hometown and Winchendon, it can be ascribed in various factors on not only the geographic differences, but also the national cultures of these two places. the weather in my hometown is much more pleasant than here. In the winters, my hometown is much warm than here. Additionally, there're many delicious food in my hometown, but unfortunately we have less find of food in the Winchendon, such as hanburgers, tacos and so on. Finally, one of biggest differences between my hometown and Winchendon is that we use different languages. In my hometowm all of the people speak Chinese, I never talk to English speaker. In Winchendon I can hear chinese and English both. Of course it is tough to learning English, especially for the International students. Though it is a big challenge, we still have to learn this language also get better. ==

== There were some memorable things happened in these two places as well. First of all, living in the Winchendon has improved my sense of being independent in a totally different environment. I can tell that I rarely did housework at home until I came here. In most cases, my parents were responsible for every works, so I didn't have to do those at all. However, the situation here is completely reversed since no one can help me. Therefore, learning how to take care of myself is indispensable and necessary. Over one and half years, I have already learned washing clothes, go to the grocery store to select, so on and so forth. Now I want to talk about the educational differences in Hangzhou. The study there was very strict and formal, especially happened in high school. I have experienced one and half years- high school life in China, and I felt pressured and intense. We had 50 minutes of 8 classes everyday and the only break time we just had 10 minutes between each two classes. We also have to do lots of homework and tests for each subjects, such as chemistry, chinese, political and so on. Most importantly, we started the class on 7:45 am to 10pm, which is ridiculous. In winchendon,we just have 3 class every day also we don't have too much homework, that is good for us. ==

== As a Chinese, my hometown Hangzhou, a place that evokes my memories of mine colorful childhood. Not only, because I was born there, that makes me rather prefer more. When I was in Hangzhou, I remember my parents always like take me to walk outside at night. I like the sky in the spring night ,especially in my hometown,because it's very beautiful, the sky is clear and bright, so we can see many stars twinkling. Also when I had free time, I always like to met my friends going to outside to play or shopping, because spring is very comfortable and wonderful season in my hometown. When I living in Winchendon, I didn't have chance go to walking outside with my parents also the spring in Winchendon is a little bit cold. I prefer to living my hometown. ==

== All in all, I love these place in my life. Hangzhou evokes my colorful memories, there are have my best friends and my sweet family. In the Winchendon, I improved my sense of being independent and enjoy different studying environment. I like living in Hangzhou also I perfer to explore in the Winchendon. == ,
