§課文原文 Passage
1My old school was small, but my new school is much bigger. My old classroom was smaller, too. The library here is brighter and more beautiful than the old one. At first, I was nervous because my old school was like a small family, and I knew everyone by name. I studied there for five happy years.
2But my new classmates are as friendly as my old friends. They showed me around and taught me the school song. Ken runs faster than anyone else in our class, so he is the best runner in the school team. I am better at maths now because my new teacher explains things clearly. The food in the new canteen is tastier than before.
3My little sister thinks our new flat is more comfortable than the old one, but she still misses our old neighbours. Change is not always easy, but things can get better and better. I know my new school is busier than my old one, so I try to speak more English every day. Last week, I even made two new friends. I believe my new school life will be the best.

3逐步講解 Steps
- 短短形容詞（一個音節）在字尾加 er 構成比較級：tall 變 taller，old 變 older。例句：Tom is taller than Peter. 提示：重讀閉音節、單一輔音字母收尾的字要雙寫，如 big 變 bigger，hot 變 hotter。
- 長長形容詞（兩個或以上音節）在前面加 more 構成比較級：more beautiful、more expensive。例句：This bag is more expensive than that one. 提示：more 之後仍用形容詞原形，不可說 more beautifuller。
- 不規則不規則比較級要逐個牢記：good 變 better，bad 變 worse，far 變 farther。例句：His marks are better than mine. 提示：這幾個詞出現頻率極高，宜製成字卡，每天背幾個，考試時便能直接反應。
- 結構比較句的基本結構是 A is 比較級 than B。例句：My new school is bigger than my old school. 提示：than 之後的比較對象要與前面的主詞對稱，學校要與學校比，人物要與人物比，同類才能比較。
- 不規則比較級數量與程度的比較級也有不規則變化：many 與 much 變 more，little 變 less。例句：I have more books than my brother. 提示：more 可修飾可數與不可數名詞，less 只修飾不可數名詞，例如 less water。
- as... as 同級比較表示程度相同用 as 加形容詞再加 as。例句：My new school is as big as the old one. 提示：否定式 not as... as 表示不及，例如 My bag is not as heavy as yours；中間必須用形容詞原形，不可用比較級。
5例題示範 Example
問題：怎樣比較新學校與舊學校？要把短形容詞、長形容詞、不規則變化與 as... as 句式都用上。
- 第一步：短形容詞加 er — My new school is bigger than my old school. big 雙寫 g 再加 er。
- 第二步：留意拼寫規則 — happy 變 happier（輔音加 y 改 ier），hot 變 hotter（雙寫 t）。
- 第三步：長形容詞加 more — The library is more beautiful than the old one. beautiful 是長字，用 more 而不加 er。
- 第四步：不規則變化 — The canteen food is better than before. good 的比較級是 better，要牢記。
- 第五步：程度相同用 as... as — The playground is as big as the old one. 兩個 as 之間用原形 big。
- 答案：示範答案：My new school is bigger than my old school, and the library is more beautiful. The food here is better, and the playground is as big as the old one. 一段文字用了 er、more、不規則與 as... as 四種寫法，比較句式便算全面。
