1
Oh no, how did that happen?
2
Did any other customers come back?
3
A few.
4
Well, all of them actually.
5
I think I hadn't mixed the soap quite right.
6
So I guess Ashley won the competition then?
7
Yes, I had to give the people their money back, but I still think I'm a better salesman than Ashley.
8
Maybe.
9
I want to talk about better and the ways of comparing things.
10
Comparative adjectives.
11
Let's watch some bits again.
12
This is harder than I thought.
13
That looks a bit easier than painting.
14
But you need to be more careful.
15
Soap!
16
That's a better idea than candles.
17
OK, so the rules for this aren't very difficult.
18
Let's start with short, one -syllable adjectives.
19
One syllable?
20
Yeah, like big, small, old, young.
21
With those one -syllable adjectives, we make the comparative by adding E and R.
22
This is harder than I thought.
23
So, hard, harder.
24
Big, bigger.
25
Old, older.
26
For two syllable adjectives that end in Y, happy, easy, crazy, we drop the Y and add I, E, R.
27
That looks a bit easier than painting.
28
Easy.
29
Easier.
30
And for longer adjectives, two or more syllables,
31
like comfortable, beautiful, interesting, we add more before the adjective, like this.
32
Why don't we make it a bit more exciting?
33
But you need to be more careful.
34
Exciting.
35
More exciting.
36
Careful.
37
More careful.
38
OK, I've got that.
39
These rules work for almost all adjectives, but there are two important exceptions.
40
Things that don't follow the rules.
41
Do you know what they are?
42
Good.
43
Good.
44
Soap.
45
That's a better idea than candles.
46
The comparative of good is better.
47
That's a better idea.
48
And the other important one is bad.
49
The comparative of bad is worse.
50
Right.
51
Bad, worse.
52
And then after comparatives, I usually teach my students about superlatives.
53
Comparatives talk about two things.
54
So, Canada is bigger than Britain, but Russia is the biggest country in the world.
55
The biggest is the superlative of big.
56
Let's have a look at some examples.
57
Typical Ash, you choose the biggest thing in the market for your tiny flap.
58
It's a candle making kit, one of the most popular products we sell.
59
Whoever sells the most will be the best salesman and the best artist.
60
So, small, one syllable adjectives like big, cold, small, we add E -S -T.
61
Big, bigger, the biggest.
62
You choose the biggest thing in the market for your tiny flap.
63
Two syllable adjectives that end in Y, the Y changes to an I,
64
and we add E -S -T, easy, easier, the easiest.
65
And longer adjectives, two or more syllables, we add the most, the most beautiful, for example.
66
It's a candle -making kit, one of the most popular products we sell.
67
The most popular thing we sell, popular, more popular, the most popular.
68
And what about our exceptions?
69
Good, better, the best, and bad, worse, the worst.
70
That's right.
71
All these rules might sound difficult, but they're not really.
72
Most students learn them pretty easily.
73
It's not the most difficult thing in the world.
74
That's right.
75
Very good.
76
Okay, thanks Rob.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
