Yesterday one of my students warned me that there hadn't been any posts in the blog for several weeks. Weird enough, I programmed several entries for the last couple of weeks.

Sorry again because my computer isn't getting along with screenshots right now. You'll have to click on the following links.

Keep posted for more!

Comparatives and Superlatives

Hey! How are u guys? 
We've already reached the half time of the third term. Phew! Time flies!!!!

However, the third term is not as long as the other two! Although it is hotter! And harder! And probably more difficult!

Well, you might be asking yourselves - or not- what is going on with me and all these comparatives. 

Should I remind you that comparatives and superlatives are the grammar section of unit 6?!

Here's a worksheet to revise!
