          Last week, I had studied about Comparison and Contrast but it haven't completed. Today, I studied it continued.
          We started to learn on page 37. The teacher explain about text 2 and do exercise on page 38.
         After that, the teacher assigned to read and understood the text about " Men and Women: Do They Speak the Same Language? ". And, then she helped to find discourse markers. And, then teacher summarized this text.

             Differences between the women and men's language.

• Materials (listed in order of use)
• Method (steps oriented towards achieving the goal)
 After that, The teacher ordered to make exercise page 34.
    I did exercises in lesson. This lesson is short and easy to understand. You can see many things from this lesson on your daily  like a Game instructions, How to use microwave television etc.

             The teacher gave Comparison & Contrast's handout and, then she explained about it and she told about the comparison or similarities markers as a
