I- Objectives

- to help sts review all kinds of comparatives

- to help sts practise doing exercises using comparatives

II- Teaching aids: referencebook, board, chalk

III- Method: communicative

IV- Presentation

A- Theory

1- Comparative ( so sanh hon )

S1 + V + adj ( short ) + er + than + S2

S1 + V + more + adj ( long ) + than + S2

Ex: She is smaller than me

They are taller than us

He is more beautifull than her sister

* We use “er” for two- syllable words that end in “- y”

lucky luckier noisy noisier

happy happier funny funnier

easy easier heavy heavier

……

* We can use “er” or “more” with some two – syllable adjectives, especially: quiet, clever, narrow, shallow, simple,

Ex: It’s too noisy here Can we go somewhere quieter / more quiet ?

* These adjectives and adverbs have irregular comparative forms:

good / well better

bad / badly worse

far further / farther

2- The structure with “ … as + adj + as ….” ( so sanh ngang bang )

S1 + V + as + adj / adv + as + S2

Ex: Tom runs as fast as me

Lan is as beautiful as Mai

He is as tall as me

3- Superlative.( so sanh nhat )

S + V + the + adj ( short ) + est ( + N )

S + V + the most + adj ( long ) ( + N )

Ex: Nam is the most intelligent student in my class

This tree is the smallest in the garden

* Notes easy easiest ……

* Some adjs are irregular : good best

bad worst

far further / farther

* We use “in” with places after superlative

Ex: What is the longest river in the world ?

* We use “of” for a period of time after superlative

Ex:What was the happiest day of your life ?

* We often use “present perfect” after a superlative

Ex: It’s the best film I’ve ever seen

* Sometimes, we use “most + adj” to mean “verry”

Ex: The book you lent me was most interesting

4- Double comparison ( so sanh kep )

S +V + adj ( short ) + er + and + adj ( short ) + er.

S + V + more and more + adj ( long ).

Ex: She is fatter and fatter

They are more and more beautiful

The + adj ( short ) + er + S + V , the + adj ( short ) + er + S + V

The more + adj ( long ) + S + V , the more + adj ( long ) + S + V.

Ex: The more colourful it is, the more beautiful the shirt is

Exercises on Reading comprehension

Nature has many ways of conserving and controlling water But man often upsets the water balance

in his desire to grow more crops He drains ponds, swaps and wet land He ploughs under the natural soil , cuts timber, and dredges and straightens streams These changes reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff

Exercise 8 : Choose the item ( A, B, C or D ) that best answers the question about the passage.

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a different decision abot their children’ careers Should they aloow their children to train to become top sportmen and women ? Foe many children it means starting very young and school wook, going out with friends and other interests have to take second place It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing

Another problem is, of course, money In many countries money for trainnig is available from the government for the very best young sportmen and women If this help cannot be given it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development – and sport clothes, transport to competitions, spacial equipment, and etc can all be very epensive

Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in sport at an early age Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly

developed Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young tat you can reach the

top as a succesful sports person What is clear is that very few people do reach the top and both parents and children should be prepared for failue even after many years of training

In sport, the sexes are separate Women and men do not run or swim in the same races Women are less strong than men That at least is why people say Women ar called “the weaker sex”, or if men want

to please them, “the fair sex”.But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists, and writers And women live longer than men A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68 Are women’s bodies really weaker ?

Exercise 10 : Choose the item ( A, B, C or D ) that best answers the question about the passage.

My favourite sport is swimming I learn to swim when I was five and I have been to the swimming pool at least twice a week ever since

You do not need much special equipment if you want to learn to sswim - only a pair of swimming trunks if you are a boy, or a swimming costume and a cap if you are a girl When you start you may like

to use a ring o some water - wings

How can you learn to swim ? It is best to learn when you are still quite youngand some parents even taught their six - month - old babies to swim It is just a good idea just to play ground in the pool for a while until you get used to being in the water Try to find a good teacher You must learn to keep your balance in the water and then your teacher will show how to move your arms and legs so that you move along smoothlly and easily.As soon as you feel confident in the pool you will quickly start making good progress

Most people learn the breaststroke first and then go on to backstroke and crawl After that, you can learn to dive Diving is probably what I like doing most when I go to pool I am particularly interested in swimming faster than anyone else but I love trying to dive as gracefully as possible

Trang 12

Swimming is not an expensive sport and it is very good for all the muscles in your body I would recommend anyone at any age to take up swimming as a hobby.
