the highestBeirut had the highest percentage of tourists.

low lower Level Three classes had a lower number of students than Level Two classes.

the lowestLevel One classes had the lowest number of students.

• For longer adjectives, we cannot use –er and –est. • More and less are used to make the comparative and the most/the least are used for

the superlative.

popular more/less popular thanPepsi was a more popular drink than Sprite.

the most/the least popularThe least popular drink was Red Bull.

common more/less common thanCancer was less common than heart disease.

the most/the least commonThe most common disease was diabetes.

The difference between popular and commonPopular is used to describe people or things that many people like, such as Ahlam, smartphones, or ice cream. Popular has a positive meaning.

Common is used to describe things that we can find or see a lot. It can have a positive or negative meaning. For example, Twitter is a common way for people to communicate. Diabetes is common among obese people.

Revisiting Comparative and Superlative Adjectives

• Comparatives are used to show the differences between two things.• Superlatives are used to compare someone/something to the whole group they belong to.• For short adjectives, we usually add -er to the word and use than to compare two things. • If the word ends in y, change y to i and add -er or -est. • For the superlative, add -est. Don’t forget the!

Writing about mixed non-temporal charts is quite easy if you remember the steps you learned for the other types of charts. The main difference is that the organization of a report changes when you have two charts to write about.

• Introductions- You must have an introduction. This tells the reader what both charts show and gives an overall statement about both charts.

• Body paragraphs- Write one paragraph for each chart shown. Within these body paragraphs, you must make comparisons and correlations between the data.

• No conclusion needed. No opinion. There could be predictions in IELTS.
