Text：
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!

形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
比较级相当于汉语中“比……更……”这种句型，最高级则表示在某个范围“最……”的概念。
1、比较级和最高级的构成：
① 单音节词和少数双音节词在词尾加-er，-est，
hard- harder- hardest
② 以-e结尾的词加-r，-st
large- larger- largest
③以辅音加-y结尾的词变-y为-i，再加-er，-est
以一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词要双写最后一个字母，再加-er，-est
busy- busier- busiest
big- bigger- biggest
④ 三个或者是三个音节以上（多音节），比较级的构成 : more+原级，最高级的构成 : the most+原级
beautiful- more beautiful- most beautiful
⑤ 有一些双音节词既可在单词结尾加-er，-est，也可与 more/less 和 most/least连用，如 narrow，clever，common，pleasant等。
clever— cleverer— more clever
⑥ 有些构成是不规则的：
bad/ill- worse- worst
many/much- more- most
far(farther further , farthest furthest)
farther:距离上的远和更远，further:程度上的更进一步
old(older elder, oldest eldest)
older 比…大
She is older than somebody
elder 做定语修饰其他名词
elder sister
2、比较级和最高级的用法
(1) 在使用比较级时，如果需要把所比较的两项都提到，那么就必须比较级后用than：
My room is cleaner than the one next door.
如果比较级之所指很清楚，它可独立存在：
Which house do you prefer?
I prefer the older one.
(2) 最高级的限定范围一般用 of，among，in 等介词短语；限定范围也可以是从句；如果范围很清楚，则可以省略。
John is the tallest of the three brother.
Mary is the most intelligent person I’ve ever met.
