Read the text and answer the questions. Choose a, bor c. The Amazing Race (TAR)is a popular reality TV show. Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster created it in 2001 and since then it has won many awards. In the show, teams travel around the world to different places. They try to arrive first, or at least not come last and they also try to win prizes on their journey. Every year, between 10 and 12 teams play on the show. There are two people in each team and they must know each other before they come on the game. For example, they can be husband and wife, parents and children, friends, etc. They have to travel to different countries and work together on the journey. The teams get some money at the beginning of the race and they use it to buy food, tickets, etc. They can use planes, trains, bikes or even skis to travel. The teams explore places they’ve never been to before and have games or ‘challenges’. These challenges have some connection to the country they are in and can be things like riding a camel, solving puzzles or eating a lot of food, for example. The teams often have to face extreme weather conditions during their journey. Many times they are outside in the rain or snow or in storms and get cold and wet. It’s all part of the experience, though. Each week, one team leaves the show, and in the end there are only four teams. The first team to get to the last city on the journey wins the game. TAR is a very hard game and the teams become really stressed, but it’s an amazing experience. 1. What do teams in TAR do? a. They do different sports. c. They race to various places.

Comparative and Superlative forms We use comparatives to compare two things or two people. (e.g She is taller than her husband.) Superlatives are used, however, to compare to show the difference between more than two things or more than two people. (e.g Paris is the biggest city in France) To form comparatives and superlatives you need to know the number of syllables in the adjective. Syllables are like "sound beats". For instance: "find" contains one syllable, but "finding" contains two — find and ing.

The rules to form comparatives and superlatives: 1. One syllable adjective ending in a silent 'e' — nice Comparative — add 'r' — nicer Superlative — add 'st' — nicest 2. One syllable adjective ending in one vowel and one consonant — big Comparative — the consonant is doubled and 'er' is added —bigger Superlative — the consonant is doubled and 'est' is added—biggest 3. One syllable adjective ending in more than one consonant or more than a vowel — high, cheap Comparative — 'er' is added — higher, cheaper Superlative — 'est is added — highest, cheapest 27

M3T Schools Prep Stage (1), Language Section, traveller, First Term

4. A two syllable adjective ending in 'y' — happy Comparative — 'y' becomes 'i' and 'er' is added — happier Superlative — 'y' becomes 'i' and 'est' is added — happiest 5. Tow syllable or more adjectives without 'y' at the end — exciting Comparative — more + the adjective + than — more exciting than Superlative — more + the adjective + than — the most exciting Examples: The Nile River is longer and more famous than the Thames. Egypt is much hotter than Sweden. Everest is the highest mountain in the world. This is one of the most exciting films I have ever seen.

Read the text below and write T for True or F for False Havasu Falls are in the Havasu Canyon next to the Grand Canyon in the southwestern USA. There are actually three waterfalls in the area: Havasu, Mooney and Navajo. The waterfalls are in the Havasupai Indian Reservation, the home of the Havasupai people. ‘Havasupai’ means ‘people of the blue-green waters.’ The best time to visit the falls is in spring, in the months of April and May because the weather is cool, but it is warm enough to swim. Later, in summer, it gets hot and rainy and there can be floods, too. Visitors can camp in a campsite or stay at the Havasu Lodge. But you have to book a room at the Lodge three or four months before you plan to go. To reach the falls you start at the parking area at Hualapai Hilltop. From there you can walk, ride a horse or fly in a helicopter to Supai village, 13 km away. From Supai village it is about 4 km to Mooney Falls. You don’t have to be an experienced hiker to walk to the falls because the walk is safe, even for beginners. However, you must be very careful because there are many dangerous cliffs. There are also caves to explore on the way. It is a good idea to take water with you and to watch out for rattlesnakes, too. Whether you walk, ride a horse or take the helicopter, the impressive waterfalls and the peaceful surroundings make this one of the most fascinating places you can visit. It is an unforgettable experience. 1. Havasu is one of the three waterfalls in the Grand Canyon. 2. The months of July and August are not a good time to visit the falls. 3. The Mooney Falls are about 17km from the parking area. 4. The walk to the falls is dangerous for walkers without experience.
