Read the names of the clothing stores and the radio stations for Ss to repeat.Note: “Oldies” is the plural form of “oldie”. “Oldie” comes from “old”. It means someone or something that is old, especially an old film or song. This radio station probably plays old music. “Funky” is an informal word meaning “up to date” or “stylish”.T: Listen to the reporter talking with a teenage boy. She is asking him some questions.

Ask a student to read the sentences to the class.T: These sentences show two different grammar points.Then put a chart like this on the board. Write the bold letters in colored chalk. cheapest friendliest most comfortableT: Here the three different words and phrases are used to make comparisons. All the three words and phrases do the same thing. They compare three or more things.Ask Ss to use the three words to compare different stores or restaurants in their town.T: These adjectives are called superlatives. We use them when we compare three or more things. Can you find out how they are formed? Rule explanation:1. Usually we add -est to the positive form. eg. cheap cheapest 2. For the word ending with a silent “e”, we only add -st. eg. close closest 3. For the word ending with a consonant and “y”, we change “y” into “i” then add -est. eg. friendly friendliest 4. For the word ending with a stressed closed syllable, at the end of which there is only one consonant, we double the consonant then add -est. eg. big biggest 5. Adjectives of three or more syllables form their superlative by putting most before the positive. eg. most comfortable 6. There are also some irregular superlatives.positivecomparativesuperlativegoodbetterbestbadworseworstT: We use the positive to talk about one thing, the comparative to compare two things and the superlative to compare three or more things.
