 Skill 3 Listening to Comparisons and Choices

To understand the speakers' choices, we can pay attention to the expressions and adjectives
they use when they compare different things.
Expressions that show we want something

enJoy it'd be better to . .. (would) like love

Expressions that show we do not want something

can't stand dislike don 't really like hate

Expressions that show we want something more than something else

A is better than B like A more than B prefer A to B would rather choose A than B

Have a Try!
A teenager is talking about buying a mobile phone. Read what he says and circle the phone
he will buy.
