Last Wednesday we spent the first hour practicing the comparative form of adjectives. We also learned a bit of geography. After listening to a recording where they learned how to ask questions comparing two things students had to complete a quiz by asking a partner a number of questions and interpreting a chart they had. We learned a few words:
population, depth, length, large, crowded.
Remember! The word large means big, spacious, not
We used the word large when we talked about oceans and cities.
Students asked similar questions to:
What mountain is higher, the Everest or K2?
or
What city is more crowded, Tokyo or New York?
Later we talked about the play for the end of the term. We have decided to perform Snowwhite and the 4? dwarfs? We don't know yet how many dwarfs we'll have. Roles were assigned:
Snowhite: Sandra
Hunter:
Prince: Vera
Old Woman:
Dwarfs: Nico, Victor, Jorge, Miriam?
You must remember better than me. I thought I knew but I am not sure about the Hunter and the Old Woman.
Anyway, I have been making a shorter version of the play, we'll start rehearsing next Wednesday.
HOMEWORK
Choose 2 countries in the world and compare their geographical characteristics, size of their capital cities, climate, etc.
First, you must find the data on the Internet and write it down Then you make 10 sentences comparing the data.
Ex: Switzerland. Holland
Population 8 million 16.8 million
Size 41,293.2 km2 41,526 square kilometers
Geography Mountainous Flat
Coastline 0 451 km.
Sentences
Switzerland is nearly as large as Holland. Holland is a few kilometers larger.
Holland is more populated than Switzerland.
Holland and Switzerland are very different. Switzerland is much more mountainous: it has the highest mountains in Europe while Holland has no mountains, only a few hills. Switzerland is inland while Holland has a 451 km. coastline.
Etc. Please, be creative, this is only an example, you don't have to do it exactly the same.
