BOOK FOUR LESSON FIVE（修订版）

BOOK FOUR LESSON FIVE

N: Lesson five. Now we’re going to compare three or more things. But this time we’re going to use longer adjectives,adjectives that have at least three syllables. The adjectives you hear first are all stressed on the first syllable. The adjectives you hear first are all strssed on the first syllabable. Listen and repeat.
M: beautiful powerful Elegant practical Popular
N: Yhe next adectives you hear are all strssed on the second syllable. Listen and repeat.
F: exciting expensive converient
N: Let’s use these adjectives with the superlative forn the nost. Listen and repeat.
M: the most beautiful
the most poweful
the most elegant
the most prcatical
the most popular
the most exciting
the most expensive
the most converient
N: Now let’s use three words to talk about different things that we think are “the most …in town.” For example, I say . “that’s a beautiful house.” And you say, “Yes, it’s the most poweful sports car in town.” Ready? Begin.That’s a beautiful house.
M: Yes, it’s the most beautiful house in town.

F:Yes, it’s the most exciting job in town.
N: That’s a convenient location.
M: yse ,it’s the most convenient location in town.
N: You know that shorter adjectives like big and cheap form their superlatives by adding –est at the end: the biggest, the cheapest, the tallest, the smallest. So we can say, “He’s the smartest boy in the calss.” We can also say, “he’s the most intelligent boy in the class.” Let’s repeat each of those sentences.
M: He’s the most smart boy in the class.
F: He’s the most intelligent boy in the class.
N: Listen to this talk about three houses: a small house, a larger houe, and a very big house. Notice the adjective. Do they have –est at the end, like smartest, or do they use the most in fornt, like the most intelligent?
F: The small house is the most inexpensive of the three. It’s the smallest,of cours,but also the most practical to buy. The larger house is the most convenient. You can walk downtown in the shortest time. It’ also the most comfortable. The biggest house is the most expensive. It’s also the most elegant. It’s in the safest neihborhood. It’s not the most popular because it isn’t as economical as the other towo. But it is the most beautiful.
N: Now repeat each sentence after you listen to it again.
F: The small house is the most inexpensive of the three.It’s the smallest, of cours, but also the most practical to buy. The larger house is the most convenient.
You can walk downtown in the shorest time. It’s also the most comfortable. The biggest house is the most expensive . It’s also the most elegant. It’s in the safest neighborhood. It’s no t the most popular because it isn’t as economical as the other two. But it is the most beautiful.

N: Now let's see if you know which adjectives take -est at the end and which use the most in front. You be the car dealer, talking about the new cars in your lot. When I say, "Is this car . . . ?" then a long adjective, like ----. popular, you say, "This car is the most popular on our lot." Of course if I use a short adjective, like nice, you say, "This car is the nicest on our lot." Ready? Let's begin. Is this car popular?

If you want a new TV or a new VCR at a low price, come on over to Video King on Main Street. At Video King, you don't have to pay through the nose.
