現在我們來作代換練習. 老師先說一句話: This dress is the same length as that one. "這件連衣裙的長度跟那件一樣". 接著老師給你一個字: style,你就把句子 改成: This dress is the same style as that one.老師也可能給你另外一個東西的 名稱, 比方: "外套" coat, 那么你就應該把句子改成: This coat is the same length as that one. 好, 現在我們開始作練習.請你斟酌情況看看應該代換哪個字.每作 完一句,你就跟老師念的正確答案比較一下, 看你作對了沒有.

下面我們換一個方式作練習. 練習的內容還是提到百貨商店里賣的東西, 比方 "一雙短襪" a pair of socks, "一雙女人穿的長襪子" a pair of stockings, "一條牛 仔褲" a pair of jeans, "一雙靴子" a pair of boots 等等. 練習的作法是由老師提出 一個問題, 比方: Is this pair of socks the same color as that pair? 接著老師說:
dark, 學生就用這個形容詞的比較級作否定的答覆, 所以答案就是: No, this pair of socks is darker than that pair. 好, 現在我們開始作練習. 請你在學生回答問題 的時候也一起回答.
