Adjective comparisons

Is your students’ goal to speak better and better and be one of the best in the group? The more examples they read and practice, the richer their language becomes. They will finally understand that comparisons are more than just sticking -er or -est to adjectives. In this lesson the students get to know different intermediate structures for comparisons (i.e the… the…, one of…, as… as…),  The practice part is immediately engaging – gapped sentences sparking a heated discussion. Transformations help the students understand how to convey the same meaning with a different comparative phrase. Later, they can check their knowledge in a text comparing the UK and Italy. Then the students practise comparisons in a variety of different contexts: travelling, buying furniture and interesting (or sometimes controversial!) discussion questions.
