Find the comparative and superlative forms in the article. How do we: form the comparative and
the superlative of short/long adjectives? Which forms are irregular?
Hairdressers happier at work
According to a recent study, when it comes to happiness at work, chefs are happier that
beauticians and plumbers, but hairdressers are the happiest of all! In contrast, architects and
estate agents are unhappier that secretaries, but social workers are the unhappiest of all.
Mary Brown, 37, used to be a social worker, but now she’s a hairdresser. “It’s so much
better – more relaxing, less tiring and far safer too!“ she told us. „Hairdressers get worse pay,
but a social worker’s job is much harder. It’s no wonder social work is one of the least popular
professions!”
