Family Reflection: Comparing and Contrasting

Question:

How is your family the same as Carly's family? How is it different? Explain.

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer since you have to talk about your own family. Anyway, I will give you an explanation that will be useful for you to understand it.

Explanation:

We have Carly's family. We are given a description of her family members, her mother's occupation, and even her pets. If any of the characteristics of Carly's family is similar to yours, then you can say "how your family is the same as Carly's family", and in case your family is different, you only have to explain how it is composed, what they work, whether you have pets or not, etc.

For example:

I have a small family. I only live with my mother and father. I also have a dog.

My father is a factory worker and my mother works as a teacher at a school close to home.

My dog is called Tommy and he is one year old. He is brown and his hair is soft.

Final answer:

Carly's family and my family are similar in having four people and two pets, but differ in the parents' occupations, responsibilities, and the presence of siblings.

Explanation:

Carly's family consists of four people, two pets, and her mom who is a doctor and works at the hospital, and her dad who works at home and takes care of cooking for the family and driving the kids to soccer practice. Carly has two brothers, James and Scott. On the other hand, my family also consists of four people, two pets, and we have different occupations and responsibilities. For example, my mom works as a teacher, and my dad works at a bank. We all share the responsibility of taking care of our pets, and my younger brother and I help with household chores. Unlike Carly's family, my family does not have siblings. Overall, the similarities between Carly's family and mine are having four people and two pets, but the differences lie in the parents' occupations, responsibilities, and the presence of siblings.
