my two houses

In my entire life, I have lived in two houses only. One house was in Cuba and the other one is where I am living now. First, the house that I used to lived in Cuba is bigger than the house that I am living in Miami. My house in Cuba has three bathrooms, four rooms, a big kitchen, and garage.  In contrast, the house where I am living now has two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a small kitchen. Second, the two houses have different views. My current house has a beautiful view to a big lake; on the other hand, my old house has a wonderful view also, but it is of a forest.  In addition, my house here has central air conditioning; however, the house in Cuba  has only air conditioning in my room.  In conclusion, in spite of the differences between the two houses, I can't choose which is the home of my dreams because I have lived wonderful experiences in both.

Differences Between Citizens of US and Immigrants


There are many differences between people who are born in US and people who do not. First of all, when citizens of US travel to other countries and they come back to the US, they can enter back in without many problems. On the other hand, immigrants are checked by immigration at the airport. Second, if a US citizen commits a violation of the law, like a felony, he or she may placed under arrest and that's it. But, if an immigrant commits a crime, he or she can be deported. Finally, and not less important, the language is another topic of difference.  It is nice when you don't have a barrier to communicate with other people with a fluent English vocabulary. In contrast, if English is your not your native language, you are going to be afraid to speak in front of others. In conclusion, living in the US is better for citizens than for immigrants.

Cuban Houses & Miami Houses

                                                                                                         
                                                          "Cuban Houses"
        
         The houses in USA have many differences from Cuban houses. First, here in Miami, the houses have comforts. But these comforts depend on the life style  of each  family. While in Cuba the houses have poor comforts because of the low economic development of the country. Second, all houses in the USA are covered by homeowners insurance. Although this insurance is payed by the owner of the house, this insurance has good benefits. For instance, in case of any tornado or fire, the houses are protected in case there is damage. On the other hand, in Cuba, if the house collapses during a tornado, the owners don't have any financial benefits than can help them with the damages. Also, most houses here in the USA have central air conditioning. However, only one percent of the houses in Cuba have air conditioning.  To conclude, all these differences show that houses in Miami are better than Cuban houses.

whole milk & skim milk

All milk is good for us, but all are not the same. Whole milk is higher in calories and fat, and it has slightly less calcium than skim milk.  For example, whole milk contains 150 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 250 milligrams of calcium. On the other hand, skim milk contains 90 calories, 0.5 gram of fat, and 316 milligrams of calcium. Nevertheless, both whole milk and skim milk have high sources of protein, phosphorous and potassium. For example, skim milk can be used to cook any type of food, and there will be no difference between the taste of skim and whole milk. Another advantage of the use of skim milk is to lose weight. For example, by just drinking less the calories, people can get to lose a lot weight in a short period of time. The flavors of both types of milk are different, but if you consume skim milk on a daily basis, it will be easy to get use to its particular flavor. In conclusion, whole milk and skim milk have differences but they are both nutricious.

Summer vs Winter




Summer and winter usually are the two favorite seasons for most of the people. However, there are some big differences between these two seasons. First of all, the most important difference is the weather and the extreme temperatures. For instance, you can wear less clothes in summer because is warm and sunny, but in winter, you need to wear warm clothes because the temperatures are so low. The other big difference is the kind of sports that people usually play in each of these seasons. For example, whereas in summer people go swimming, go to the beach, or sunbathe; in winter, people enjoy going ice skating, skiing, or playing with snowballs. The final big difference between these two seasons is the number of days off used for vacation. A clear example of this is that in summer people can plan long trips for vacation; while in winter, people take just short trips to visit their relatives. In brief, for all these characteristics, summer and winter have clear differences with one another.

"Some differences between The United States and Cuba"

There are some differences between the United States and Cuba.  I would like to develop three of the most important of them.  First, Cuba and the United States have different economic systems. For example, Cuba has a socialist economy that is based mostly on the natural resources of the country.  In contrast, the United States has a capitalist economy with a great development in agricultural production,mining and industrial energy.  This is why it is the first world's economic power.  Secondly, the educational programs between both are really different. For instance, Cuba has an excellent education system with many good programs based on widsom and cultural knowledge. The United States has a good educational system too, but the system is supported from the state and local goverments which is sometimes not sufficient to maintain.  Finally, but not less important, healthcare benefits are better in Cuba than in the United States.  In Cuba, people have the right to be treated for free when they need help.  And the state ensures that, but there is a great difference with the United States healthcare programs.  Although the United States has advanced medical technology, the majority of those resources are not accesible to every citizen.  In conclusion,I think that the differences between these two countries are apparent with all the information that I have explained in this paragraph.

Hanny vs Alondra

There are several differences between my two daughters.  First of all, Hanny is smarter. For example, in school she has received several honor awards. Secondly, Hanny loves theater, acting and singing.  For instance, she is a model and has participated in plays. On the other hand, Alondra is more loving.  Every night, I have to kiss her and  give her blessings at bedtime. Also, in the away of eating they are very different. For example, Hanny likes to eat white rice. Alondra likes to eat white rice with beans and meat. Additionally, one likes to drink cold milk and the other likes warm milk.  In conclusion, given this information, the differences are apparent between my two daughters.

Comparing my two brothers

There are many differences between my two brothers.  First of all,they are different in age.  Nelson is 30 years old and Alfredo is 40 years old. Another difference between them is their behavior.  Nelson, my eldest brother, was very rebellious as a teenager.  For example,he would go out and drink all night with his buddies and was always looking for trouble.  In contrast, Alfredo, whom is older than Nelson, was not rebellious as a teenager.  He always put his academics ahead of everything. Whereas Nelson did not attend college.  Also, they have different ways to see life.  Alfredo has a wife and one child and for him the most important is his family.  On the other hand, Nelson doesn't have a wife or children.  For him,his friends are more important than his family.  Finally, Alfredo is friendly. He interacts with people easily, and he is always available to help them if they need something.  In conclusion, for all this reasons the differences are apparent between my two brothers.

Single Ladies vs Married Ladies


There are several differences in the way of life between single ladies and married ladies. First, single ladies do not have the same responsibilities of married ladies.

Also, single ladies just work for their own expenses and do not worry about other needs. Second, singles ladies do what they want to do.

Similarities between men and a women


From the day a person is born, gender is an easy way to categorize people.   People can't wait to say "It is a girl " or "It is a boy". These are common phrases that people use.  However, men and women share more similarities that one might think. Lets look at some of them. First, both of them are humans. That means that they have the same feelings . They can feel pain, fear, sadness, and happiness. Second, both of them have the same needs. Sometimes a person needs company, attention, care and a lot of love. If they don't have these basic needs met, they can easily feel unhappy with themselves. Third, both of them can grow up in their lives in different ways. Having a career, a job and the same social opportunity is important to both. Finally, as you can see here , men and woman share more similarities that one might think. So don't be afraid the next time someone tells you that you are having a girl or a boy.
