PET口语系列 -- 5 Ways to Compare and Contrast in English
OOE这套口语视频有很多集，我正在整理出PET考试适用的，结合考试特点扩展写一写。为了方便家长孩子观看，我压制了英文字幕。教学视频语速很慢，配上字幕后基本不用担心听不懂。目前只更新了两集。在我的个人公号可以在线看或者网盘下载，每周更新。链接: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1tcF6rtBr0Fv0cq3V6lbZcg密码:r5h2
5 Ways to Compare and Contrast in English
作比较和对比的五个技巧
比较两个或多个事物，有异有同。可按程度大致分为四类：大同，大异，小异，小同（相似）。视频中分别讲解了四套针对句型。
我发现真题真的偏爱问”偏爱“的题目，比如问你“A和B更喜欢哪个？”“一年之中哪个季节最适合去xx地方？”
做选择也是一种比较。思路打开之后就可以滔滔不绝了。
视频共分五个部分。
• How to talk about big differences
• How to talk about very close similarities
• How to talk about small differences
• How to talk about similarities
• Making a longer answer
1 How to talk about big differences
非常不同
首先是一些通用短句
[*]They’re totally/so different.
[*]It’s hard/impossible to compare them.
[*]They’re (almost) nothing alike.
使用比较级
Everything moves (so) much faster.
比较句的句式非常实用且常见，但注意不要犯错，例如“much faster" 说成"more faster".
使用增强词
口语考试中可以在比较级之前加一个“增强词”（intensifier），例如much, so much, 或way （更口语化）
The museum was so / way much more interesting than I expected.
我们继续用2020的官方真题举例，Part 2中的问题 (吐槽一下，这个问题真是让人感到莫名）
Q: Which is better, morning or afternoon? (Why?)
使用比较级回答
A: I think the afternoon is way better.
后面再展开回答原因
2 How to talk about very close similarities
非常相似
以人物描述为例
[*]They’re so alike.
[*]I can hardly tell them apart.
[*]They look so similar.
[*]They’re equally funny.
[*]A is just as impatient as B.
从人物扩展到其它类别：
[*]I can hardly tell these two wines apart.
[*]I hated both cities; they’re equally terrible.
[*]Playing golf is just as boring as watching it.
3 How to talk about small differences
细微差别
在比较级之前加修饰语，例如a bit, a little, slightly等。
以体育运动举例
[*]They played a bit better.
[*]They were just a little sharper.
[*]The keeper did slightly better.
[*]not quite as… as…句型
以真题为例，2020，Part 4
Q: Which do you think is more interesting: visiting the countryside or visiting a city?
A: I think visiting a city is not quite as interesting as visiting the countryside.
4 How to talk about similarities
细微相似
侧重点放在“非常相似”或是“细微差别”。
以food为例
[*]The dishes didn’t vary much.
[*]Everything tasted much the same.
[*]The main dishes were all pretty similar.
[*]It was more or less like tonight.
[*]It was nearly as expensive as that Japanese place we went to for my birthday.
往其他方面扩展：
[*]Apartments here don’t vary much.
[*]You can do it today or tomorrow—it’s much the same to me.
[*]A lot of cities / small towns in China are pretty similar.
[*]There are different versions of rugby, but the basic idea is more or less the same.
[*]My sister is almost as tall as me now!
5 Making a longer answer
如何构造长段落
实际运用中会用到一系列的比较，既要讨论相同之处，也要比较差别，结合上面四种情况的句式。
这部分可以看一下，但感觉PET口语的问题复杂度还没有到这个程度……
自鸡笔记;P个人浅见，欢迎交流。
