Notes on the text课文注释
1 Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town.乔·桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园。在第1册的第107-112课中，我们讲到了英文中形容词和副词的比较级和级。本课的主要句型仍是形容词和副词的比较级和级。如果形容词或副词有两个以上音节，其比较级和级是在形容词或副词前加上more或most，如more interesting, the most beautiful。
2 enter for，报名参加(各种竞赛，考试等活动)
3 more flowers and vegetables，更多的花卉和蔬菜。英语中有些形容词或副词的比较级和级并不规则，如课文中的good - better - best, bad - worse - worst, many - more - most。
4 for the worst garden in the town是介词短语作定语，修饰prize。
