Comparing

In Academic Writing Task 1, you often need to say how much something has changed, compared to another thing. For example:

Although widget sales were quite high, gadget sales were generally higher.
Domestic sales showed a smaller improvement than international sales.
Although all countries showed a decline in imports, the greatest decrease was seen in South America.
Recycling was common in each district, but was most common in South-Central, where 97 per cent of residents recycled their rubbish regularly.
Yellow was generally less popular than any other colour, except for a 2-year period, when white was the least popular colour.

Note the pattern:

Adjective Comparative Superlative
high higher [than] [the] highest
small smaller [than] [the] smallest
great greater [than] [the] greatest
common more common [than] [the] most common
popular less popular [than] [the) least popular
