Li Fang uses everyday objects to guide Xiaomei in learning how to use comparative sentences to describe differences in size and length.
Xiaomei, look at these two pencils. Which one is longer?
The blue one is longer.
Right. Then which one is shorter?
The red one is a bit shorter.
Now, look at these two apples. Which one is bigger?
The apple on the left is bigger than the one on the right.
Very good! Which one is smaller?
The one on the right is a bit smaller.
