COMPARATIVES

In class we have only worked the comparitives with one or two syllables.

Short adjectives (one syllable):

young----younger than
old-------older than
long-----longer than
small----smaller than
new-----newer than

Ending in consonant + vowel + consonant:

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO DOUBLE THE LAST CONSONANT

Two syllables adjectives ending in -y:

REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE -Y FOR -I

ugly-------uglier than
noisy-----noisier than

English people don't normally write numbers with words, but it's possible
to do this--and of course this will show how we say the numbers.
In writing large numbers, American English uses a comma ( , )
to separate thousands, millions, etc. American English also uses
a hyphen ( - ) to separate "tens" words (twenty, fifty, etc.) and
"ones" words (one, three, six, etc.)
Examples:

Group 1
written		said
1,011		one thousand eleven

21,011		twenty-one thousand eleven

721,011		seven hundred AND twenty-one thousand eleven

Group 2
written		said
1,256,721		one million two hundred AND fifty-six thousand seven hundred AND twenty-one

31,256,721		thirty-one million two hundred AND fifty-six thousand seven hundred AND twenty-one

631,256,721		six hundred AND thirty-one million two hundred AND fifty-six thousand seven hundred AND twenty-one

Group 3
written		said
1,492,638,526		one billion four hundred AND ninety-two million six hundred AND thirty-eight thousand five hundred AND twenty-six

THANKSGIVING DAY PROJECT

What is it?

Thanksgiving is an american festival celebrated every year on the fourth Thursday in November It is believed that its origin goes back to the 16th century, when the first dinner connected to this celebration was held.
It is a tradicional day for families and friends to get together and have a special meal. They generally eat turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy and vegetables. on this day, people express thanks for what they have.

It is also a tradition to watch a game of American football on this date, just before dinner.

Some people even get a four-day-weekend, so it is widely used for touristic purposes as well. Parades are organized in towns and cities on this ocasion, being the biggest one in New Tork City.

It is a secular festival, consequently, it is the most celebrated one in the USA, even more than Christmas.

What are the origins of this celebration?

It has been claimed that the first Thanksgiving celebration was held in Texas in 1598. Another event took place in the Virginia Colony in 1619. However, the official origins of Thanksgiving could be related to the harvest celebration that the Pilgrims held in Plymouth in 1621.

Paying thanks to the harvest has become popular, and it is celebrated in different times and places. The first official Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed By George Washington, the first American president, in 1789.

In the UK people celebrate Harvest day around this date.

Little Pilgrim clothed in gray
on that first Thanksgiving Day
Natives also clothed in brown
come to visit Plymouth town
side by side they ate and prayed
on that first Thanksgiving Day
Let's be thankful for this day
for our friends
and for play.
Let's be thankful, let's be glad
for our foodand the thinks we have.
Let's give thanks for you and me
and our home and family.
