The document discusses different people's personal tastes. It mentions that Richard loves books and has read many different books. He chooses the best books to read, and everyone says he has a great taste in books. It also talks about how different people can have different tastes in things like music, clothes, cars, and hairstyles. Finally, it notes that your personal tastes are just your own opinions and are not objectively "good" or "bad".

15. “As…as” is another type of
comparative. We use it when two
factors are the same.
18. We can also use “as…as…” with
pronouns.
“I get dressed as quickly as I can”
“as quickly”
“as I can” which refers to ability.
Therefore, in this sentence the “speed”
and “the ability” are equal.
Therefore, the woman wants to get
dressed with the maximum speed that
her ability to dress will allow her.
