Superlative is the name of the structure which has been used in the sentence. Superlative adjectives are

used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality. They are used in sentences

where a subject is compared to a group of objects. We must add ‘-est’ to form superlative for adjectives

with only syllable and two syllable adjectives ending with ‘-ly’, ‘-er’, ‘-ow’ (for example: tall – the tallest,

narrow – the narrowest, clever – the cleverest). While adjectives with two or more syllables form the

superlative by putting ‘the most’ in front (for (for example: intelligent – the most intelligent). There are very

common adjectives have completely irregular superlative forms (for example: good – the best, bad – the

worst, little – the least, far – the farthest/the furthest).

08. Why do you think English is important for your future career? Write 100 words.

It is very important to learn English for the future career during this current period. I think English is useful

to increase my chances of getting a good job. It is the language of technology, of business, tourism and

international communication. It is considered as the most common second language in the world. By

learning English, you may also travel and talk to other people. According to me, speaking English is an

important instrument to say what I think to an English native speaker or when I am abroad, not only in the

United Kingdom or the United States.

My first visit to Paris was a remarkable experience, which I will never forget. It was a great feeling to arrive

in Paris and see the city of light, it is a modern city with a very deep sense of history. It was love at first

sight. It was dark in the evening; Christmas lights illuminated the whole city. It was bright, almost like

daytime. The streets were very busy, full of shoppers marching from one shop to another. I was fascinated

seeing The Palais Garnier, which is the Paris Opera House. The next morning, we walked around the small

town. It was Christmas and all the shops were closed. We stayed in Paris for ten days and had a fantastic

time. I loved everything about this romantic city and vowed to never hesitate to come back to experience it

again and again.

The comparative is the name of the structure which has been used in the sentence. Comparative adjectives

are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They

are used in sentences where two nouns are compared, in this pattern: Noun (subject) + verb +

comparative adjective + than + noun (object). We must add ‘-er’ to form comparative for adjectives with

only syllable or two syllable adjectives ending with ‘-ly’, ‘-er’, ‘-ow’(for example: tall – taller, narrow –

narrower, clever – cleverer). While adjectives with two or more syllables form the superlative by putting

18. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a student? Write 100 words.

At first, the advantages of being a student are studying and making friends with fun in a classroom, and

learning to do team activities among classmates because this can give the opportunity to know other

people to be open to other’s feelings and opinions. Being a student has also a positive rule to learn new

topics and listen to experiences of teachers, who are a sort of humanity and educational guide for students.

about marks. Another disadvantage can be the fact that a student has to stay in a classroom, that is to say

in an indoor place for a lot of hours.
