Week 8 - Day 2 - March 5, 2014

Today was a practical use of yesterday's information. We spent most of our time listening to a conversation between two friends about one of them moving to California. We talked about the cost of living.

We practiced creating comparative sentences such as:
     The weather in the US is hotter than in my country. (1 syllable word = "adj+er)
     The food in the US is more delicious than in my country. (2+ syllable word = "more adj")

Notice that the comparative adjective is followed by "than"
There are other rules for when we use "-er" and "more" but we did not discuss them today.

We followed up our listening exercise with some practical research about credit cards and banks. It was my hope that you were able to use this practice to help you become confident when dealing with financial websites.


Main Learning Point

You should be able to understand enough of a financial website to find the information that you need to make a good decision. You should also be aware of what your bank is charging you and be able to make a decision to switch if you need to.
