We can watch it from 7 p.m. to 9.30 p.m.
We can use “between… and…” and “from… to…” to specify periods of time.

p.m.
Step 4 Presentation
We know Millie can’t watch “Cartoon World” from 6.30 p.m. to 7 p.m., because she has dinner at that time. So we can say “Millie will not watch Cartoon World until she has finished her dinner.” Cartoon World is on TV before Today’s News is broadcast. The Weather Report is on TV after Today’s news.
Conclusion: We can also use “before”, “after” and “until” to talk about time. These words are used to talk about the order in which things happen. “Before” means “at an earlier time then”.
“After” means “at a later time then” and “until” means “up to the time that”. We can use them to introduce a time clause. They can be placed at the beginning or in the middle of sentences.
(Pay attention: We can use “till” instead of “until”, but “till” is usually used in the middle of sentences.)

Explanation:
“While” and “as” are also conjunctions of time. They both mean “during the time that”. We use them to talk about two or more actions that happen at the same time.

Step 2 Presentation
Like adjectives, adverbs can be used in comparative and superlative degrees where adjectives modify nouns and other adjectives, adverbs modify verbs, verb forms and adjectives.
We can form comparative and superlative adverbs in the same way as we do for comparative and superlative adjectives. Go through the grammar table at the top of page 73. Remind the students that comparative / superlative adverbs are formed by adding –er / -est to the verbs or by writing “more” / “most” in front of the verbs. Also remind the students that some adverbs are irregular, such as: well – better –best, badly –worse –worst, far –farther/further –farthest/furthest.
Step 3 Practice
Millie wants to enter a competition held by a TV station. It wants ideas from a new TV Program. Millie has asked her classmates what they think of the different drama series on TV this month. Help her complete her report with information gathered in the survey.
Answers: 1. better than 2. better than 3. the most regularly 4. the best 5. the worst 6. more slowly than
Step 4 Extension Activity
Choose four TV programs that are shown regularly on a local TV. It would be better if you can find four English programs that students are familiar with on the board.
Divide the students into four or five groups. Assign each group one of the TV programs listed in the table. Tell each group they must ask their classmates whether they watch the program regularly, whether they like the actors and whether they think it is a good story. Then write the scores in the table. At last, write sentences summarizing the results on the board, e.g.
The TV program with the best story is …
The TV program with the best actor is …
The TV program with the most regular viewers is …
