我们可以用形容词和副词的比较级来比较人或事物。常用的句型为“A+比较级+than +B”，表示“比……更……”。
同级比较一般采用as… as…句型，否定句可以用not so/as…as…表示。
Do you think life is better today than in the past
我们应该学会辩证地看待“好”与“坏”。在经济发展、人们生活质量整体提高的背后可能隐藏着很多问题，如：环境污染、人们养尊处优、缺乏锻炼等，要学会客观看待这些变化并以积极的态度面对问题，用实际行动去解决问题，使我们的生活质量得到真正的提高。
Work in groups and talk about the changes of our life now and then from these aspects: health, medicine, transport and work…

Activity
Ready
1. … and there’s less fear of getting ill because we know how to deal with the ordinary diseases.
我们也不太担心生病，因为我们知道如何治疗普通疾病。
deal with意思是“处理；安排；对付 ”，常与疑问副词how搭配使用。如：
How will you deal with the thief who stole the diamond
你将如何处理那个偷了钻石的小偷呢？
2. But people don’t take as much exercise as they used to.
但是人们做的运动并没有过去多。
used to do sth.指“过去常常做某事”，否定形式有两种：didn’t use to或used not to。
请根据汉语提示完成句子 ：
My hometown has experienced great changes and life is ________________
________________ (比过去更舒适).
more comfortable than it used to be
3. I suppose that’s because more people have cars…
我想可能是因为更多的人有了车……
suppose表示“猜想”、“认为”，相当于
think或guess。后接否定的宾语从句时通常将否定转移到主句上。如：
I don’t suppose he is really ill.
我看他不是真病了。
我猜想那不是真的。
___________________________
I don’t suppose that it’s true.
4. Remember to speak up! She’s a bit deaf now.
记得说话大点儿声，她现在有点儿耳背了。
speak up表示“大点儿声说”。例如：
Speak up, please. I can’t hear you.
请大声一点儿，我听不见你说话。
In English, the most important words in a sentence are stressed. You need to stress all the words the listener has to hear in order to understand the message.
Stress 重读
分析：
英语国家人士在连贯话语中使用不同的语音手段进行交流，包括重音。
英语句子中，需要重读的词称为句子重音。
一般来说，实词（名词、实义动词、形容词、副词等）需要重读，虚词（介词、连词、冠词等）不需要重读。
Read and predict which words the speaker is likely to stress.
