The most expensive model 最昂贵的型号

最昂贵的型号

Mr Frith and Mrs Frith go into an electrical shop to buy a television. The assistant shows them the most expensive model, but they cannot afford it. Mr Frith wants to buy the expensive one on installments, but Mrs Frith points out that they can't afford the price. The lesson covers comparatives and superlatives, and the grammar workbook section focuses on irregular comparatives, making sentences with comparatives, and using 'as...as' and 'not as...as'.
