Revise about Comparatives and Superlatives from studies before!
To talk and write about travel experiences, we use comparatives and superlatives.
Superlatives compare three or more things, showing which one is the most or least of a certain quality.
We use comparatives to compare two things (for example, one place is cheaper than another).
We use superlatives to compare three or more things (for example, the best holiday).
We use superlatives to compare three or more things (for example, the best holiday).

Long adjectives use more / most (more interesting / most interesting).

Last week, I read an article and watched a video about healthy food. Both gave useful information, but in different ways. The article was good because I could read it slowly and think about the ideas. The guide of the article was a health website, so I trusted it. Watching the video was more fun and had more entertainment, especially because it had music and pictures. In my opinion, reading is better for learning details, but videos are better for quick ideas. For me, the comfort of the video was important because I could watch it on my phone. The experience of watching the video was nice, but the article helped me remember more facts. In difference, both are useful. My choice depends on my time and mood. If I want clear facts, I choose an article. If I want something easy and fun, I choose a video.
