Task 2

You are going to write some comparison sentences. Using your internet browser, go to http://www.weather.com and enter your zip code in the box located in the upper right corner of the page. Scroll down and look at the 10-day forecast. Compose three sentences using comparison adjectives (-er or more) and three sentences using superlative adjectives (-est or most) to compare the information about the forecasts found on this page. When you finish your descriptive paragraph, underline the adjectives that are comparative and italicize the adjectives that are superlative. If you finish early, go back to the original weather.com site and type in the name of a city on the west coast (in the spot where you typed in your zip code) and see how it compares to your weather.
