My mom and I

A mother is the closest person a human being has. We would not be here if our moms hadn't been there. Being very close to someone doesn't mean that we are exactly same or think the same way. Not having differences with anyone is difficult as each person is totally different. Even when we are very close to someone, there are many differences between us, even with our mom. Do you also have differences with her? The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast my mom and I. I'm going to focus on similarities such as our hobbies and favorite food, and differences such as personality and our looks.

As compare both my mom and me, I noticed many similarities, that is our hobbies and favorite food. We enjoy watching movies and going shopping during holidays. For instance, until we came to Singapore, we used to go watch movies on the weekends. Due to our hobby is same, we could enjoy our holidays together and make it much funnier. However, now it is not possible as my mom's English is a bit poor, so we decided to watch movie in home with Korean subtitles. The another main similarity is our favorite foods. We both enjoy eating some delicious foods and trying new foods. As our taste is similar, it makes decision easier when we have to choose a restaurant for dinner or make some foods. If our tastes were different, it might be matter to choose restaurant or cook something, and if we didn't accept other person's suggestion, we might be in a trouble.

On the other hand, there are also many differences between my mom and me as everyone has differences with each other. The main difference between us is our name.Of course, our name is different, but in addition the difference between our name, the meaning of our name is completely different. While the meaning of my mom's name is beautiful and very valuable thing, mine is intelligent and very moral. Yet another very important difference between these two of us is our personality. Whereas my mom's behavior is fast, and decide something very fast, my behavior is a bit slower than her, and whenever I have a choice, I always become cautious, and think much.

To sum up, I have many similarities from small things to big things such as favorite foods, and hobbies, and differences such as personality and the meaning of our name. However, even though I have many differences with my mom, we both try to consider each other's opinion. I love my mom so much, and enjoy to play with her.
