Make a mind map/cluster for a job that isn’t what you do or plan to do.
(You may use your phones to find information about the job.)
You can use some of the nouns, adjectives, or other phrases on p. 37.
---
p. 38 - Read the paragraph and answer the questions with your partner.
1 good flight attendants
2 They have three important characteristics.
3 friendly, self-confident, fairly strong
4 It repeats that there are important characteristics (but it lists them).
---
Intensifiers tell how “strong” (or weak) an adjective or another adverb is:
very friendly
quite afraid
rather firm
especially important
fairly strong
extremely heavy
Can you put these in order from strongest to weakest?
extremely - especially - very - quite - rather(=pretty) - fairly (- somewhat=a little)

These can answer “how [adjective]” questions
---
p. 39 practice 2B - Write intensifiers to make true sentences about yourself.
(To make a weakly negative sentence, use “not very” or “not especially”.)
How creative are you?
How talkative are you?
(We use intensifiers with gradable adjectives, that can have different levels.)
