The
advantages
derived
from/gained
in/of
A

far
outweigh
(are
much
greater
than,
carry
more
weight
than)
the
advantages/benefits
we
gain
from/in
B
(disadvantages/problem
A
entails).

To most college students, the advantages of taking up a job immediately after
graduation outweigh those of continuing their studies. Just think of the higher
salary
a
position
in
a
big
company
can
offer
and
more
opportunities
to
be
promoted after a few years of work. But on the contrary, to continue to study
for a M.A. degree will not only take a student another three
years, but
cost
him a great deal of money.

Although A has (enjoys, gains, secures) a (n) great (important, enormous,
considerable,
distinct)
advantage
of/over/in…it
can’t
compete/
be
compar
ed with B in…


Although
newspaper
enjoys
a
distinct
advantage
of
covering
an
important
new
story
in
far
greater
detail,
they
can’t
compete
with
television
visually.
The significance of some events, such as wars, space launchings and natural
disasters is often best communicated by pictures, not words.

The quiet life of the country has never ceased to appeal to city residents who
are
dreaming
of
the
friendly
people,
the
clean
atmosphere,
the
closeness
to
nature
and
gentle
peace
of
living.
Although
they
enjoy
the
comfort
and
convenience of city life, it cannot
be compared with
the first
cockcrow, the
twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and
pastures.

The
effect
of
the
comparison/
contrast
is
heightened
by
the
special
(particular, additional) advantage B enjoys.
The
effect
of
the
comparison
between
newspapers
and
television
is
heightened
by
the
additional
advantage
newspapers
enjoy.
By
nature,
television is a passive medium. All we have to do is sit in front of the tube and
“let it happen”. In contrast, the print media encourage active involvement in
what’s
being
reported.
The
readers
have
to
make
greater
efforts
than
TV
viewers
to
follow
and
absorb
the
stories.
But
they
acquire
more
than
information. Reading improves our intellectual ability.

The
effect
of
the
contrast
is
heightened
by
another
advantage
we
may
gain
from
reading
books.
Our
human
friends
sometimes
may
bore
us,
but
the
friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. There are
times
when
we
can
not
very
well
tell
our
friends
to
leave
us
alone,
but
by
hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always
ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.

A
sounds
ridiculous
(means
nothing,
appears
trivial,
is
lost
altogether)
when B is mentioned/considered/taken into consideration.
The
amount
of
money
spent
on
a
moon
shot
is
trivial
compared
with
the
amount
of
the
money
the
world
spends
in
even
a
few
days
on
warfare
and
weapons.
And
this
money
really
does
go
down
the
drain,
because
war
is
unproductive, weapons are continually becoming obsolete, and killing people
is, to say the least, a corrupt and self-defeating activity.

The
landscape
one
views
form
train
windows
sounds
ridiculous
when
the
beautiful
scenery
one
enjoys
on
a
ship
is
mentioned.
Just
imagine
the
seas
surging and crashing against the ship; the seagulls screaming and gliding one
after another over the water, and creamy-white sails rolling and curving above
the sparkling waves.
(Indeed/certainly,
A
carries/bears
much
little
weight
(plays
a
more/less
important
role,
takes
on
little/special
significance)
as/when
compared
to/with B.)

For all/in spite of/despite the disadvantages/adverse effects B has, it has
its compensating advantages/beneficial effects.
In spite of the increase in productivity, efficiency and convenience generated
by
telecommunication,
the
changes
it
brings
could
very
well
lead
to
potentially
adverse
consequences.
For
example,
with
activities
being
conducted form the home, we could all become hermit-like, never having any
need to
leave the house. This
could
lead to
either increased
conflicts
in
the
home, or social isolation, or both. Furthermore, if we educate our children via
home
information
systems,
they
might
never
be
exposed
to
either
peer
pressure or social interaction.
