# Making comparisons 如何作比较

作比较时,如果用上一些副词来修饰比较级和最高级,会是一个加分项。

可用来修饰比较级和最高级的词有:much /a lot /far/a bit /a little /slightly/by far /easily.

注:以上程度副词均可填在下题的空中表示不同程度。

The airplane is much / a lot / far / a bit / slightly / a little faster than the train, if you don't consider the time spent on the way to the airport and the long security lines.

Cycling in the city has been made much easier by the bike sharing apps.

It's much / a lot / far / a bit / slightly / a little more environmentally friendly to take public transport.

The subway is by far the most popular mode of transport in my city.
