๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๐Ÿ“˜ ๐Ÿ“š 3G CELBAN Speaking Compare and Contrast Example

Updated 2024

Dear Friend,ย 

Embarking on a journey to master the CELBAN Speaking and Writing tasks isn’t just about passing a test โ€“ it’s about embracing a valuable skill that enriches your professional and personal life. Today, let’s delve into the art of comparison and contrast, a skill crucial as a reflection of your diverse experiences as Internationally Educated Health Professionals (IEHPs). The journey takes us to a unique exploration: Shopping in Dubai versus Canada. Crafted by a fellow IEN, this narrative isn’t just a lesson in language proficiency but a celebration of cultural diversity and shared experiences.

The following was submitted as a writing assignment for Wonderful Writing, available in the Gold bundle of CELBANPrep University’s Learning Centre. What follows is her reply to my request to share her writing.


The Art of Comparison: Dubai and Canada through the Lens of Shopping

Dear Kim

I would be humbled and honoured if you share this with others on the forum, however I do not want to take all the credit as you have moulded me and taught me very well every step of the way. You uplift me, motivate me and bring out the best in me. I thank you for your guidance, patience and most of all for just being you. You have never made me feel that I should under estimate myself, but instead you encourage one all the way. I so wish I had known you long before in time, but god knows best why our paths have crossed now.

Thank you


SHOPPING IN DUBAI VERSUS CANADA

Today Iย  am going to talk about shopping in Dubai versus Canada

There are similarities between shopping in Dubai versus shopping in Canada.The most common one is that the population of Dubai is multicultural, there are expatriates who work and live there from all over the world like: India, Africa, Singapore e.t.c. who love to shop. Similarly in Canada there are many different nationalities from countries like: Bangladesh, Africa, Pakistan, India that enjoy shopping in Canada as they are exposed to a variety ofย western standard of shopping. Also in Dubai there are many malls that sell a variety of international brands whether itโ€™s clothing, perfume, or handbags. Likewise in Canada people have the opportunity and the advantage to choose from a variety of goods and international brand names when shopping. Both countriesย  offer huge sales that range from 20 to 50% off selected items like clothing, branded footwear or jewellery.In Dubai the low income group look forward to these sales by browsing through flyers that are sent out monthly or bi-weekly, so too in Canada people who cannot afford expensive goods or items take advantage of the sales advertised in the flyers.

In contrast however in Dubai everything is tax free including a persons income. But in Canada there is a tax on everything. Be it groceries, income, travel or anything else. Also theย  tax in Canada differs from province to province.ย For e.g in Nova Scotia people pay 15% tax compared to a 5% tax that people pay in Alberta. Secondly the mall timings differ. Inย Dubai the malls usually open up at ten in the morning and close at twelveย  at night, however in Canadaย  there are specific mall timings for weekdays and weekends. Malls open early and close early in Canada. Thirdlyย the busiest time of shopping in Dubai would be during Ramadan, Eid and Muslim new year, but in Canadaย  shopping periods would be at its peakย during the festive season like Christmas, boxing day or new year.

So when Iย  compare shopping in Dubai versus Canada Iย  can say that I love shopping in both countries.
