Write
the comparative or superlative form of the adjectives. Follow the
example.
Example: In my opinion, the
Spanish are some of
(friendly) people in the world.
1. That was probably
(bad)
paella I’ve ever tasted. It was disgusting!
2. I think this film is
(interesting)
than the one we saw last week and walked out in the middle
of.
3. The trip to Lisbon was
(expensive)
than our trip to Paris.
4. When we all checked in for the flight, David’s luggage
was (heavy).
5. The trains in Beijing are
(modern)
I’ve ever travelled on.

Listening Practice
Listen and write the missing words.
Is Your Life Under
Control? Do
you ever feel as if your life is
you and not the
other way around? Do you ever want to shout ‘Stop!’ and take
of the way you
manage each day, week, month or even year?
If the answer is yes, then we have something in
. I often get the
impression that I live
other people’s agendas; family, friends, work colleagues and
even strangers.
I’ve tried a
of different organizational tools, but nothing seems to
improve the situation. I use a paper diary for day-to-day
and a weekly
/monthly planner to set my .
I use online software to keep track of the hours I work on
certain projects and digital project files and ‘to do’
lists, but I constantly fail to meet my
and personal
deadlines.
Life has a habit of getting in the way. It could be a favour
a friend asks of me (who can
a friend in need,
right?) or a family member has an ‘urgent’ problem. Social
events out of
nowhere and new work tasks come up that need to be dealt
with. It seems that other people’s priorities also have to
be mine and saying ‘no’ without offending is a
I haven’t yet
mastered.

Besides, recreational combat sports are different than real
fights. There’s a

plenty of your mates to jump in and help if things get
.
Real fights always scare me. Not that I’ve seen, or been
involved in many, but the times I have come into contact
with violence
have definitely left a
and negative
impression.
At school I fought a two or three times, and always lost.
The fights often
into more of a rugby tangle or wrestling match than a full
contact sport. I

I saw a few fights at football matches and when I was up

they were around.
What made me think of this? Well, in the gym this morning my

Now read the text and answer the questions.
How To Improve Your Writing
It sounds obvious, but the best way to improve your writing is to write.
Just do it! Here are some ideas to get you started.
Keep
a Leaner Diary
Write a few lines every day about your progress in English and new
things you’re learning. Also write how you feel. Not only will you
probably need to look up words in the dictionary to express yourself
better, but it will be fun to look back on your writing in 6 months or a
year to see how far you’ve come.
Participate in Online Forums
In the last newsletter we suggested reading English blogs about your
hobbies and interests in order to improve your reading. Well, why not
contribute to blog posts by writing comments in English? You’ll be
surprised how quickly you’ll be involved in online conversations about
your favourite topics and you never know, you may even make some
English-speaking friends.
Tweet and Message in English
If Facebook and Twitter is your thing, go to English pages and sources
and communicate in English.
If you receive a tweet or a message you
don’t understand, check words in a
dictionary or run the message through Google Translate.
Penpals
There are websites you can go to to find a penpal from another country.
This way you can learn about another culture and practise your English.
If you develop a good relationship online, you could end up visiting
your penpal in his or her country, and showing your home to them! Here
are some websites to get you started:
Exam Tasks
If you’re studying for an exam like the Cambridge FCE or CAE, you’ll
need to practise exam writing tasks. If you’re studying at an academy,
your teacher will check them for you and show you how to improve.
If you’re not at an academy, you’ll need to find a local or online
teacher or native speaker to guide you. If you have a question about a
specific grammar point, phrase or collocation, you can post in on our
Facebook
page and we, and our wonderful community, will try to help you.
Unfortunately, we don’t have time to correct complete writing texts.
Reading Helps Writing
It’s a fact! The more you read, the better your writing will become. As
you read more you’ll improve spelling and vocabulary and you’ll start to
notice grammar points and new collocations and expressions. So, as you
read, make a note of interesting language that you come across and use
your new words in your writing. If you use new language in your writing
and speaking, it’ll quickly stick in your memory and become part of your
English data base!.
