The document appears to be a classroom survey about students' commutes to school. It asks how they get to school, how long their journey takes, and whether they consider it pleasant. It then shows the results in a comparative and superlative form, revealing that taking the train is the fastest way to travel, walking is the slowest, biking is the most comfortable, and taking a motorbike is the least environmentally friendly. It also determines that the student who travels by train has the most pleasant journey, while the one who walks has the most unpleasant journey. The document then provides information about comparative and superlative forms in English.
