(2) What did they do during their free time?
Step 2 Looking ahead
Inform the students with what they are going to learn in this period. In Unit One (8A), we have learned how to compare two things or more. Most adjectives then are used after a linking verb. In Unit Two, we will learn to talk about the amount of two things or more. It is the comparative and superlative use of adjectives that are used before nouns.
Show the pictures in Part A (P23) one by one. Ask the students to talk about the pictures.

3).How much free time do you enjoy?
4).How long do you spend doing your homework?
2.Get the students to compare their own information with Nancy’s school, John’s school and Daniels school. We have too much homework to do. So we have less free time than John and Nancy. We have more subjects than Nancy.
