Homework: Workbook -
pg. 33 - 35; Writing – Compare living in a small town to living
in a big city. (The comparison is easy, at least I believe so, but what I will
be looking for in your piece of writing is, obviously, the ‘correct’ use of
comparative and adverbial phrases as seen in the unit. Position yourself in
favor of one or the other and support your argument logically and coherently,
please.) (180 -220 words)

(Thank you, Almudena for making me read the Grammar
Notes at the back of the book. The truth is that I have gone over them many
times, but I must have paid attention only to what I wanted to see. Inorder
that is very formal and not common in speech. Anyway,… apologies to all.)
(Cristina V. was right to ask if it wasn’t
necessary to use the verb in sentence 9 of worksheet 7C. Notice that when you
include the verb in the first part, you must put a comma. If you use the
shortened version, the comma doesn’t seem to be necessary. Also, the answer to
7 is the following: is much the best. Never heard it in my life. I guess I have
to live a bit longer.)
