COMPARISON 
When we relate things or people to others it’s commom to say that we are comparing them.
 Jane is tall and Martha is short. 
In this statement we have an implicit comparison and it could be more clearly demonstrated as:
 Jane is taller than Martha.
 or
 Martha is shorter than Jane.

We can also use comparison as the following:
This book is more interesting than that one.
Jane’s car is more comfortable than Martha’s.
Up to this point of File 8A we are supposed to recognize these comparison ideas only. Their use and formation is the objet of our next class.

Personality Adjectives
Concept 
In English we have many words that express quality, particularity, sensibility and characteristics about people. 
For this reason, we call them PERSONALITY ADJECTIVES. They refer to people’s manners or attitudes.

THE LOGICAL SONG 
 by Supertramp
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
 And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me.
 But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. 
*
*
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. 
*
*
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal.
 Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! 
*
*
At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man.
 Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am.
