这样的写作要求,我觉得对国内学英语的孩子可能有点难哟。对英语母语的孩子来说,也要有如何写这种比较、对比文章的技巧训练。

Q2:
Scientists think that human being are evolved by simian.I don\'t belive it,So I asked my dad.My dad says it was ture and showed me some pictures of humans and simian .And I learned a lot about the same points and differences between humans and simian.Now let me tell you what I learned today .
The same point between humans and simian are that:people don\'t have tails ,So do simian.Simian have good memories,So do people.Humans have many kinds of expression ,So do simian .Humans have many kinds of blood type ,So do simian.humans have babies,So do simian.Simian have 32 teeth,So do humans.
   However,The differences between humans and simian are very few,like : People walks with two feet and can walk very fast.But simian walks with four feet and walks very slow.And for another example is : People can tool-making but simian can\'t.They can only use sticks for tools.
    This is what I learned today,I hope you remember between humans and simian \'s differences and same points just like I did.

Q1.
Synonyms: Gorilla, Chimpanzee, Anthropoid, Apes, Orangutan
Antonyms: Human

Q2
Humans and simians look alike in appearance and some behaviour, but human beings are more intelligent than simians. I am writing this essay to compare some similarities and differences between simians and humans.

Humans and simians share similar appearance. Simian faces look more like humans than any other animals. Apes also have similar bodies as ours.
Simians and humans are both mammals. They get their babies out of mothers’ tummies and feed the babies with milk.

There are some distinctive differences between human and simian. Humans are much smarter than simians. Human being can use advanced tools and technology, while simians can only use simple sticks. Humans use oral and written symbols for expressing thoughts and feelings, but simians can only communicate with shout and gesture.

In conclusion, simians look like humans in appearance, but humans are more intelligent than simians.
