This document is a lesson plan from a school in Costa Rica for an English class discussing the pros and cons of living in the countryside versus a big city. The lesson plan instructs students to compare pictures of the countryside and city on characteristics like pollution, food, attractions, air quality, and scenery using comparative adjectives. Students are then asked to record an audio message discussing their comparisons using the comparative form. Links to additional English language learning resources are also provided.
