Compare my hometown to Seattle(Contrast)
Canberra is a different city from my hometown in many ways. Of course, there might be some similarities to my hometown, like size of population , entertainment and so on. From my perspectives, the differences emerge for ; environment, demographic profile , strategic importance ,weather .all these things brings advantages and disadvantages to live in both cities.

To begin with, environment is entirely different in many ways. In general, Canberra is a green city. Spreading up on a big land and having variety of wonderful natural parks ,it colours the city green. that colour mixs into a big lovely houses which has got brown roofs , delightful backyards. to illustrate this , most of the canberrans live in a houses rather than apartment while popularity of apartment is high in my hometown , the difference for size between two cities might creates this result , to show that , canberra located on a enormously bigger land than my hometown ,however population which two of cities has got closed each other , my hometown is located on a half size of canberra,s land with nearly 300.000.000 people , ridicilously canberra has got nearly 400.000.000 population . lack of land in my hometown leaded to habitants to build a four , five story buildings not far away to each other , at the same time canberrans have got a chance to live in their private land and house ,this usually gives them their own condition to adjust to their environment, and then it leads to their satisfaction to illustrate this point , most of them took chance of growing their own vegetables in a backyards, having barbeque with family and close circle on the weekends ,moreever some of them have got a private swimming pools, In addition to this, people who live in this city feel peaceful in living their lives in this city and feel relaxed those things 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.
