ABSTRACT
Speakers like to compare things to make a point. This chapter looks at some other common comparisons. The most effective way to note these comparisons will be to note the things being compared vertically parallel to one another on the page. The chapter provides some examples. In the following example, the speaker is talking about the fate of Roma boys with that of Roma girls. A doubling of the numbers every year led inevitably to the introduction of some restrictions. In reality, it's quite likely that student interpreter should not realise the speaker is making a comparison until they have already taken some notes and the speaker starts talking about the second part of the comparison. Each year, Earth Day gives us the opportunity to highlight the importance of preserving and protecting the world around us, not just for the present, but for future generations.
