Li Fang guides Xiaomei to observe common things in daily life and learn how to use comparative sentences to describe height and distance.
Xiaomei, look at those two trees. Which one is taller?
The tree on the left is taller, it looks like it’s touching the clouds.
And the one on the right?
The one on the right is shorter.
Okay, now let’s look at those two cars. Which one is closer to us?
The blue car is closer, it’s right by the roadside.
And the white car?
The white one is farther away, over by the red light.
Very good! You can now use 'bijiao' and 'yixie' to describe height and distance.
Next time I want to learn sentences for comparing speed!
