Outline of compare and contrast

Topic:
Campus lifestyle in Taiwan and in UIUC
Thesis statement:
Campus lifestyle not only shows how a country educates their younger generation, but also reflects a country’s culture. As an exchange student, I’ve discovered several similarity and difference in campus life between Taiwan and UIUC.
(Using point by point)
 Student’s night life:
Topic sentence:
Unlike most of the university in Taiwan is in big city, UIUC locates in country sides
Supporting ideas:
UIUC is at the middle of corn field and we can find nearly everything we want on campus. In Taiwan we usually have night market where we can enjoy delicious foods and lots of entertainments just across the street of the campus.
 Activity/sports:
Topic sentence:
While UIUC have clubs that mainly based on ones interests, we got lots of student associations and club which is based on department in Taiwan.
Supporting ideas:
For example, we have our own student association for mechanical engineering department, and we often held welcoming camp with other associations such as foreign language department or finance department. For sports such as basketball or volleyball, we also have our own team of each department. And then the school’s club team will hold a tournament every semester where each department compete each other.
 Classes:
Topic sentence:
Unlike UIUC divides classes through weekdays, the same classes are often taught in a series in Taiwan.
Supporting ideas:
For example, ESL class of three credits will have three classes together on Monday rather than spreading out to three days a week in Taiwan. Moreover, I think students here are very active in class. They ask questions whenever they want frequently. In Taiwan, students will be really quiet through classes, only taking their notes.
