    Block 3. Use of intensifiers in speech.

    Extreme
    Adjectives
    Name: Group:
    School:

    1. Extremely good/bad
    Study the following adjectives and put them into the correct categories below.

    appalling awful fantastic great


    horrible terrible terrific wonderful

    Extremely good
    Extremely bad

    If you want to make an extreme adjective sound more extreme, you can use the
    word ‘absolutely’:

    absolutely fantastic absolutely appalling

    But you cannot use ‘absolutely’ with ordinary adjectives: absolutely good

    Work in pairs. Take turns to describe something with an adjective above. It can
    be a movie, a performance (e.g. sport, music, acting), the weather, a vacation,
    food you have tried, etc. Continue until all the adjectives have been used. For
    example:

    "France’s performance in theWorld Cup was absolutely wonderful."

    Greetings from Tokyo!

    This city is 1 - I can definitely see why it’s the biggest metropolitan area in the world.
    I’ve spent most of the day traveling on the subway, and I’m completely 2. The trains are
    so 3, especially during rush hour. There are even special employees who push
    passengers in so that the doors can close!

    People say that the city’s high population adds to the summer heat. And I can tell you that
    it was absolutely 4 today. But unlike other large cities I’ve visited, which can be 5.
    Tokyo’s streets are extremely clean.

    Now, I’m back at the hotel. I’m staying at one of Tokyo’s famous high-rise hotels. The view of
    the city from my window is simply 6.
    Anyway, I must go now. I haven’t eaten all day and I’m absolutely 7. I’m going to have
    sushi at this small restaurant across the street. I’ve heard the food there is 8.
