This document provides a lesson on comparative and superlative adjectives, including irregular forms. It then summarizes three unique vehicles - the Carver, Segway HT, and skycar - comparing their price, speed, dimensions, weight, engine output, and maximum range using comparative and superlative degrees. Finally, it discusses defects in clocks and provides exercises to label images and identify how defects could be fixed.

superlative, about the defects of something
• Reading: texts about the vehicles
• Vocabulary: handcart, cork, tights, blades, receiver, spout, wheels,
