- DIFERENCIA PEQUEÑA: a bit / slightly / a little: "slightly more expensive".
- PROGRESIÓN: "comparativo and comparativo": "cheaper and cheaper", "better and better" (cada vez más).
- SUPERLATIVO reforzado: "BY FAR the best", "easily the most popular".
Reading · "Two phones, one reviewer"
Read the review and underline every comparative, superlative and as…as:
I have owned both the Nova X and the older Nova Lite, and the difference is surprising. The X is far more expensive, but it is also by far the better phone. The battery lasts roughly twice as long as the Lite's, and the camera is slightly sharper in daylight though much worse at night. Honestly, the Lite is just as reliable as the X when it comes to calls, and for most people it is the more sensible choice: it costs a lot less, and it is less likely to break. If you want the best screen money can buy, get the X; if you want the best value, keep the Lite. The newer model is getting cheaper and cheaper anyway.
Detrás del texto
- "far more expensive" = big difference + comparativo largo; "by far the better phone" = superlativo enfático.
- "twice as long as" = equativo con multiplicador (twice / three times as…as).
- "slightly sharper… much worse" = dos matices opuestos en una frase.
- "just as reliable as" = igualdad casi perfecta.
