Compare People, Places and Perspectives

Learners compare people, cities and opinions. They use más/menos… que, tan… como and tanto… como, the irregular forms mejor, peor, mayor and menor, and superlatives (el más alto de…, altísimo). They compare Andean and coastal cities using a data table, read young people's views on city and country life, and practise agreeing and disagreeing respectfully before writing their own comparison with an opinion.
