My friend David is more hard-working than me, but I am funnier than him.
write the rest sentences by yourself.
2b
Should friends be the same or different Read about what these people think. Underline the comparative words and phrases in the passage.
My mother told me a good friend is
like a mirror. I’m quieter and more
serious than most kids. That’s why
I like reading books and I study
harder in class. My best friend
Yuan Li is quiet too, so we
enjoy studying together. I’m shy so it’s not easy for me to make friends. But I think friends are like books—you don’t need a lot of them as long as they’re good.
2b
It’s not necessary to be the same.
My best friend Larry is quite
different from me. He is taller
and more outgoing than me.
We both like sports, but he plays tennis better, so he always wins. However, Larry often helps to bring out the best in me. So I’m getting better at tennis. Larry is much less hard-working, though. I always get better grades than he does, so maybe I should help him more.
2b
I don’t really care if my friends are
the same as me or different. My
favorite saying is, “ a true friend
reaches for your hand and touches
your heart.” My best friend Carol is really kind and very funny. In fact, she’s funnier than anyone I know. I broke my arm last year but she made me laugh and feel better. We can talk about and share everything. I know she cares about me because she’s always there to listen.
