— Hello, Beth. — Hi, Neil. How are you?

0:39

I'm very well, thank you. What are we talking about today?

0:44

Well, today's episode is all about family.

0:49

We’ll be talking about who is in our families and comparing them.

0:54

OK, great. So, what do we mean when we say comparing our families, Beth?

1:01

Well, when we 'compare' two things,

1:03

we 'look at them and see if they are the same or different'

1:08

and we can compare things in different ways, but we often do it with adjectives.
