A) Read the text carefully and then answer the questions:

Summer I love summer. I know it is warmer and hotter than any other season but is more glorious. The sky is as clear as in spring and there are more hours of sunshine. We students have more time to enjoy the day and we are less busy than during term time. Days became longer and better so we can play all day long. Nowadays the climate is more changeable than some years ago and sometimes we have to play attention to the weather forecasts to find out if one day will be sunnier than the previous one or not. But you can also check on the weather from your own house. Just look at the weathercock at the top of your village church and you will know the directions of the wind. If you want to know the temperature just look at the thermometer, and if you are interested in the air pleasure, look at a barometer. By gathering this information you will know if tomorrow will be finer, rainier or windier than today. Anyway, although sometimes the weather in summer is worse then in the winter, I still love it because I don't have to go to school.

1. Is summer colder than winter? 2. Is the sky in summer as clear as in spring? 3. Why can the students play all day long in summer? 4. How can you check on the weather from your own house?

B) Complete the sentences. Use the comparative of the adjectives. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

In summer it is _____________ (hot) in any other season. Children are _______________ (busy) during the term time. Sometimes the weather is __________ (bad) in summer than in the winter. In winter it is ____________ (freeze) than in autumn. In autumn it is _________ (rainy) than in summer. In spring it is _____________ (windy) than in winter.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

John or Carl? What's more good? Water or tea? I think Jane is older than Kate. Don't you think so? Well, I think they are the same age. Those jeans are as expensiver as these ones.
