A targeted exam-practice resource designed to help B2 students master one of the most frequently tested grammar areas in Reading & Use of English Part 4: comparative and superlative structures.
This task trains students to recognise, transform and produce the high-value comparison patterns that Cambridge repeatedly uses - not just -er / more, but more complex structures such as as … as, far more, very few as … as, and not as … as.
What’s included:
✔ 6 Cambridge-style Part 4 key word transformations
✔ Focus on comparative & superlative language
✔ Includes: as … as; not as … as; far / a lot / considerably more; very few … as … as; by far the ...; one of the ...
✔ A full answer key with multiple acceptable answers where appropriate
✔ Clean, exam-ready PDF
Why this resource works:
Part 4 is one of the most difficult sections of B2 First examination because it requires students to:
- manipulate grammar
- control meaning
- produce natural-sounding English
This task helps students learn to:
✔ spot hidden comparisons
✔ avoid common Part 4 traps
✔ use exam-preferred comparative structures
✔ stay within the 2–5 word limit
In short: it trains the exact thinking Cambridge wants.
Teacher tip:
After students complete the task, ask them to:
underline the comparison pattern
rewrite the sentence again using a different comparative form
This turns one exam task into deep grammar training.
