The three cities

       One day, my friend suggested playing a game which called" Around the World in Ten Minutes". I and my friends had to tell some information about a city. During the game, we talk about Paris, Beijing and Stockholm. At the end of the game, we organized our information about these three cities. Although there are many similarities between Paris, Beijing and Stockholm, there are also some very important differences in location, number of population, size, temperature and weather.
      Paris, Beijing and Stockholm are alike in several ways. To begin with, each city is the capital of its country. To illustrate, Paris is the capital of France while Beijing is the capital of the People's Republic of China. In contrast Stockholm is the capital of Sweden. In addition, they are similar in their history. For illustrate, the three cities are very old cities. Paris was founded by the Romans and was called Lutetia; it was renamed Paris in the 15th century at the end of the Roman Empire. Beijing was founded over 2,000 years ago. Stockholm dates from the 13th century; it became the capital of Sweden in the 16th century. Thirdly, both Paris and Stockholm has wonderful places. Stockholm has lots of museums, open spaces and palaces. Paris also has lots of interesting places such as Notre Dame Cathedras, the Louvre museum and lots of nice outdoor cafés.
       However, while they do have some similarities, they have many more differences in location, number of population, size, temperature and weather. The initial obvious difference is placed in the location of the three cities. Paris is located on the River Seine, in the northern of France while Stockholm is located by the Lake Malaren on the east coast of Sweden. Unlike Paris and Stockholm, Beijing is located in the north of china.
       In addition to their location, they differ in the number of population. For instance, Paris has 9.93 million inhabitants in their urban area while Beijing has 8.5 million inhabitants. Unlike Paris and Beijing, Stockholm has 1.2 million inhabitants.
       The third difference is placed in the size of them. Unlike Paris which occupies 12.200 square kilometers, Beijing has an area of 1.377 square kilometers. Different from Paris and Beijing, Stockholm occupies 375.25 square kilometers.
        Furthermore, the fourth difference lies in their temperature. In Paris, the lowest average temperature is -2`C in January and the highest one is 24`C in July and August. In contrast.  the average lowest average temperature in Beijing  is -7`C in January while the highest one is 26`C in July. On the contrary, the lowest average temperature in Stockholm is -7`C in winter while the highest one is 25`C in July.
         Last but not least, The final difference is in their weather. Paris has a mild weather while Beijing has a humid continental climate influenced by the monsoon. Unlike Paris, the winters in Stockholm are quite cold while summers are much warmer. Moreover, Paris can rain at any time in the year: its average yearly perception is 641.6 mm. In contrast, summer in Beijing is the rainy season and the annual precipitation is over 600mm. On the other hand, the annual precipitation of Stockholm is 539mm.
         All in all, Paris, Beijing and Stockholm have lots of similarities. However, they are different in many points such as location, number of population, size, temperature and weather. If you want to spend your summer holiday in a city, Which city you will visit, Paris, Beijing or Stockholm?

Linda's & Jose's restaurants



          What are the prices of food at these restaurants? was the question of our father when we wanted to have our dinner either at Linda's restaurant or at Jose's restaurant. Consequently, we began to give him some information about the two restaurants. Our father realized that there are lots of differences between the two restaurants in prices, services, and facilities.
         The initial obvious difference is placed in the prices of food. Linda's restaurant offers better prices than Linda's restaurant. To illustrate, salads at Linda's cost $ 3.50, while in Jose's they cost $4.50. In addition, sandwiches at Linda's are cheaper than which are at Jose's. Soup at Linda's costs $3.00.  In contrast, it costs $3.50 at Jose's. Moreover, drinks of Jose's are more expensive than that are at Linda's. Desserts at Linda's cost $2.00. Unlike desserts at Linda's, they at Jose's cost $3.00.
          In addition to the prices, the services of the two restaurants are various. People at Linda's receive better services than people at Jose's. To explain, Linda's is opened from 7.a.m to 9.a.m. Linda's has three cashiers in rush hours. Jose's, on the other hand, has only two cashiers in rush hours. Unlike Jose's, Linda's has home delivery. Last but not least, there is only one similarity in their services; both of them have drive-in service.
        Last but not least, the facilities of Linda's are better than which are in Jose's. Take for example, while Linda's provides air conditioner, Jose's only ceiling fans. Unlike Jose's, Linda's has play-ground for kids. Linda's contains 12 tables and 48 chairs. Jose's, on the contrary, contains only 8 tables and 32chairs. Furthermore, both of them have something in common; their bathrooms are clean at any time.
         By the end of our talking, our father decided to have our dinner at Linda's restaurant. The reason of his choice is that it offers better prices, services, and facilities than Jose's restaurant. This what usually happens with people: they choose according to their needs.
