Ces exercices comparatifs et intensité commencent par un rappel des formes, puis t’entraînent à nuancer : renforcer un comparatif, employer the best ever, doser l’intensité avec quite ou extremely, choisir entre too et enough. Deux documents sportifs, un tableau de course et un podium, te servent de support.
