Summary
We learn:
1. Vocabulary: land, African, rose, peony, lotus, butterfly, wing, frog, up to,
weigh, kg, ginkgo, believe, province, take a walk.
2. Sentence Patterns: Superlative forms of adjectives (e.g., the largest,
the most beautiful).
We can:
1. use superlative adjectives to describe people, animals, plants, and places;
2. understand and answer questions about descriptive passages using
superlatives.
如果把这种“比较”的眼光，放到我们自己身上呢？放到我们努力成长的过程中呢？
She sings more beautiful than me；
His English is the best in our class；
He plays basketball best in our school；
She can play piano;
……
Let’s think
在生活中，我们有时会忍不住拿自己和别人比。但问题在于，我们是否选择了合适的‘比较范围’和‘比较对象’？
更智慧的“比较”，是和自己比！ 今天的我，比昨天的我进步了吗？这个月的努力，是否比上个月更投入？这才是真正有意义的最高级——“更好的自己”！
How can we compare ourselves correctly？
Write a short passage to describe your favourite plant or animal.
You should use the comparative and superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs.
