Try rewriting these sentences using the words in red (you should choose which sound best). You can make a new sentence or two new sentences.  Use your blue notebook.

And, Like, Both, But, However, While, Although, Unlike.

  1. Every teacher and every student has a handphone.
  2. Some teachers have cars. Some students also have cars.
  3. Everybody has a handphone. Some people have iPhones and some have Blackberries.  
  4. Teachers drive their own cars. Students have drivers.
  5. Cats eat mice. Dogs do not eat mice.
  6. Teachers enjoy lunch. Students also enjoy lunch.
  7. I enjoy sports. I rarely play because I am so busy with school.
  8. I am a guitar player.  Sammy is a guitar player.
  9. Boys and girls both attend school. Boys and girls don’t feel the same about school.

Amounts! small to BIG

None (0%)

Almost none (1-2%)

Hardly any (2-4%

A few (5 -10%)

Quite a few  (10 – 20%)

A quarter (25%)

A significant number (+/-30%)

A third (33%)

Less than half/just under half (high 40%s)

Half (50%)

More than half /just over half (low 50%s)

The majority ( 50% +)

Many ( 50 to around 70%)

Most ( 60% +)

Two thirds (66%)

Three quarters (75%)

A high percentage (usually over 75%)

The vast majority (85% +)

Almost all (95- 99%)

All (100%)

The whole (100%)

The entire (100%)

Unanimous (100%)

Look at the comparison pie chart above. Write a short analysis (in small group) of what you see, using comparison words and numerical amounts. A great first sentence would be. “Phone development has changed since 2009” or maybe “Phone projects continue to evolve”.
