People appreciate when you notice them. Here are some ways to notice and compliment:

Noticing:	I really like your jacket. Did you get a haircut?	Are you wearing new glasses? Have you lost some weight?
Complimenting:	It looks good on you. It suits you. It makes you look thin.	It goes well with your shirt. It matches your dress. You’re looking good/fit/healthy.

Walk around the class and talk to other class members. Compliment them on something they are wearing. And then ask them questions about that clothes item. Use the questions below:

Name	Item	Shop	Date of Purchase	Price	Payment Method	Satisfied?

Pronounce past tense questions like this:

. . . did I 	. . . di die	. . . did he 	. . . di dee 	. . . did they 	. . . di they
. . . did you 	. . . di jyou	. . . did she 	. . . di she 	. . . did we 	. . . di dwee

There are many ways to compare things. Often, we use an adjective and one of the following sentences patterns:
Expressions for Comparing Two Objects
cheap, easy to use			cheaper (than), easier to use (than)
comfortable, powerful			more comfortable (than), more powerful (than)
not cheap, not comfortable			not as cheap (as), not as comfortable (as)
As a class: Look at the advertisements below and make comparisons between the products:
		Advantages of Cool Walkers
		(1)		Cool Walkers are not as expensive as Slim Jimms.
		(2)
		(3)
		Advantages of Slim Jimms:
		(1)		Slim Jimms are more durable than Cool Walkers.
		(2)
		(3)
	Work in pairs. Compare these items. Write your comparisons down in your workbook or on a separate piece of paper. (Teachers, lengthen it: A longer more in-depth activity is available from the teacher’s manual).
		That’s like comparing apples and oranges. This means that two things are so different that you can’t compare them.
