WELCOME!

It is an honor for me that you have visited my site. This would introduce to you my self-written essays on the different ways of writing an essay. The site includes reflective, static-descriptive, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, definition, argumentative and reflective essay 2. This is part of our requirement in our writing activity outputs made in our ENGLCOM course in our tertiary eduation. I hope that this, be a help to you.

Writing for me is a written form of thoughts that circulates in our minds on a particular subject. It could make a person's mood, for some use this way to throw their emotions. Writing is also a self-exression because some could only express theirselves through writing and it enables one to open up and say what they want to say without anyone getting affected.

These writing activities helped me enchance my English language skills since this requires reading of references which lets me read a lot. Also, through wide reading, my reading comprehension is exercised as well as my vocabulary because I often encounter unfamiliar terms that makes me search for the meaning of it.

Comparison and Contrast Assay: "Urban Area vs. Rural Area



          All of us need a place to live in. We have a place called our home; it may be a place where we feel comfortable and a place where we would eventually spend our days or just get forced to stay due to circumstances. As a result, some would think that life is unfair since the difference in the state of living of people is really visible. Nowadays, people in rural areas want to transfer to the urban area due to several reasons. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast rural areas and urban areas in terms of living and the environment to clearly understand why urbanization happens. 

          Both rural and urban areas are created for us to enjoy, to live and to show care for. They both produce products wherein people in urban areas may be relying on the people in rural areas and vise versa. As time passes by, they grow and develop naturally and on how people would respond to changes that happen. They serve as a means of income to a country since unique tourist spots are found here, either man-made or naturally occurring sceneries. One could stay in urban areas since either of them could make a person live and earn a living.

           The urban area is also known as a city, wherein numerous tall and huge buildings are constructed, wide usage of technology is demonstrated and busy ares are occupied by busy people. In the urban areas, we could notice excessive industrialization which has invited problems like pollution and other human character-related problems like laziness. Modern amenities  and modern day facilities are widely used in order to ease and improve the way of living. We could notice that the houses are built too near each other which indicate overpopulation in the area.The urban area is truly blessed with these technological advancements. Due to these technological advancements, opportunities increase, so, people in the rural areas tend to get attracted to come to the urban areas, making it more overpopulated. Despite of the negative effects mentioned, modernization of living also kept people around the world to get in touch and to transact in spite the distance. People here enjoy comfortable and luxurious living for technology helps people in their work as well as in relaxation.


           In the rural areas, too many concrete constructions are not seen and the areas are not crowded. The people here are noticeable not as busy as those in the urban areas. Houses are see built far from each other which indicates a healthy population. Simple way of living is practiced among the people settled here in a way that they are deprived or slightly deprived with technology since they actually earn their living through farming and other agricultural-related work. For this, lesser opportunities are offered. We could say that rural areas may be less industrialized but then, they are rich in relationship with nature. 


           Spending each day of our lives here on earth is truly a blessing. Living in a rural or urban area has really several differences. But then, these differences should not totally affect the individuality of a person for it is up to a person on hoe he or she would respond to the environment or area he or she is settled.
