5. Structure
Comparative form
When we compare two things or people we look at what
makes them different from each other.
For example:
expensive
It is true that the fare on a high-speed train is more expensive
than on a regular train.
convenient
Airplanes were even more convenient than trains for most
travel.
fast/slow
The Acela trains are faster than regular trains.
The regular trains are slower than Acele trains.
Comparative adjectives are used to show what quality one
thing has more or less than the other. They normally come
before any other adjectives.
For example:
6. big / small
The TGV train is bigger than the regular trains.
The regular train is smaller than the TGV trains.

High-Speed Trains
In the 19th century, train were the best way to travel
long distances over land. Trains were fast and convenient.
24.
25. In the United States, a high-speed train called Acela
operates from Boston to Washington, D.C. via New York
City. This route is popular because passengers arrive
directly in the center of each of these major cities. The
Acela trains are faster than regular trains, partly because
they stop in fewer cities along the route. But the Acela
trains don’t travel as fast as high-speed trains in other
countries. The train tracks along the route are designed
for older types of trains. Because of these older tracks,
the Acela trains have to travel more slowly.
Many of these high-speed train lines have reduced
air traffic between cities. Increased train travel will also
help reduce crowding at airports. What once seemed to
be an outdated from of transportation is now in style
again.
