Comparing!

Week 22nd -24th July

Hello!

How do you feel? Do you feel happy, stressed, excited?
You should feel happy because we are at the end of July and that means…HOLIDAYS!!!!!

Last week we reviewed adjectives related to personality:

A friendly person is open and kind.
A careful person doesn’t make mistakes or have accidents.
A serious person thinks a lot and doesn’t make jokes.
A quiet person doesn’t talk a lot.
A generous person likes giving people things.
A stylish person dresses well.
An aggressive person likes arguing and can be violent.

The opposite of friendly is … unfriendly. Careful/careless. Serious/ funny.  Quiet / talkative.  Generous/ mean.  Stylish/ old-fashioned.  Aggressive / calm

Don’t forget :
‘ful’ means ‘with’   / ‘less’ means ‘without’ but not always the two adjectives exist!

Careful (with care) careless (without care)
He is a careful writer. He never makes spelling mistakes.
His brother is careless! His writes badly and doesn’t pay attention!

Colourful /colourless
She looks very pretty in her colourful dress!
I don’t like his paintings because they are grey and colourless.

Homeful / homeless(without a house / living in the street)
There are lots of homeless people because of the crisis.
And then we explained how to compare things.
