Learning to learn
Similes and metaphors are two commonly used, but easy to confuse, figures of speech. Similes compare and show similarities in typically different things. Similes usually use connecting words such as like, as, so and resemble. For example, He is as cool as a cucumber. Unlike similes, metaphors make direct comparisons without using connecting words. For example, She has a heart of a lion.

1. What difficulties did the professors and students of Lianda encounter How did they deal with these
They had to travel a long distance to reach Lianda. Throughout the journey, they had no accommodation and had to survive extreme conditions. Also, the conditions in Lianda itself were very harsh. They did not have enough food and studied in rough buildings. Furthermore, their study was often interrupted by air attacks. They had to adapt to these challenges, for instance, by holding their classes when they were not likely to be bombed.

2. What is your understanding of the poem written by Zha
Liangzheng
Softly, on the hillside forgotten by all,
A misty rain falls in a gentle breeze;
There is no trace of the footprints of history;
Where brave souls once stood, breathing new life into the trees.
…… 静静地,在那被遗忘的山坡上,
还下着密雨,还吹着细风,
没有人知道历史曾在此走过,
留下英灵化入树干而滋生。
