Compare my hometown to Seattle(Contrast)

Seattle is a different city from my hometown in many ways. Of course, there might be some similarities to my hometown, like entertainment, restaurant and so on. From my perspectives, the difference is far outweigh the similarities; environment, weather and pollution.

To begin with, environment is entirely different in many ways. In general, people have their own condition to adjust to their environment, and then it leads to their satisfaction. To illustrate this point, people who live in this city seem not to be busy all the time, while those who live in my hometown are always busy and live busy lives. In addition to this, people who live in this city feel peaceful in living their lives in this city and feel relaxed while, those who live in my hometown rarely feel calm and comfortable. Furthermore, it is common that people do not have enough break time to take some rests in my country; on the other hand, those who live in the city have their break term especially on weekend. In this context, environment in this city is certainly different from that in my country.

Moreover, weather is one of the most remarkable factors in this city. Generally speaking, all countries have their own climate, and then it is a factor in determining many things, such as food, living and so on. For instance, when I came to this city, it was rainy a lot. Sometimes, it was sunny, cold and cool. That is to say, the weather in this city changes a lot. People who live in this city always say that it takes shower too often, and then it tends to be changed into being cold. As time passed, it has changeable weather, such as it is raining in the morning but it changes into being sunny in the afternoon, and then it rains a lot in cold weather. According to a forecast reported by ABC news in 2007, it has been raining a lot, and then the amount of rain is becoming increase. It is said that it takes shower very often in this city. Unlike this city, my hometown has a mild climate. To exemplify, it is sunny and hot in summer and it is cold in winter. In this sense, weather is differentiating factor in representing this city in terms of having lots of rain regardless of season.

Finally, pollution is an indispensable feature. To tell the truth, problems related to pollution, such as air pollution and water pollution are being considered seriously. This city is commonly called evergreen, in that it has fresh air a lot, and then it refreshes our life. This is largely because people have a tendency not to drive their car too often. On the contrary, my hometown always goes through some smog. Since they drive their car very often and the amount of gas emission is increasing, it probably leads to air pollution. In this regard, it is a pollution that it determines the city, and then it is being regarded as a critical factor.

All things considered, Seattle has a lot of differences from my hometown. Given the chance to choose factors that represent this city, I would choose three factors; environment, weather and pollution. At the same time, both of them have a similar taste in kinds of entertainment, restaurant and so on.
