I really like chocolate. It tastes
really good.
 It tastes EVEN BETTER when
you melt it. It has an EVEN
BETTER taste.

What is taste? Another meaning of
“taste” is something we like.
 Everybody has different personal tastes.

 For example, if somebody dresses well and always
wears nice clothes we can say that they have good taste
in clothes.

Richard says: I love books. I have
read lots of different books. I
always choose the best books to
read. Everyone says I have a great
taste in books.
 Do you have a good taste in books?

 What do you have a good taste in?

However, your taste really isn’t
“good” or “bad”, it’s just your
personal opinion on something.

We all have very different tastes.
Look at the pictures in the book.
People can have different tastes
about all of these things.

“As…as” is another type of
comparative. We use it when two
factors are the same.

This dress is as nice as that dress.

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.

dressed with the maximum speed that
her ability to dress will allow her.

sentences
