red rose.
—Robert Burns
A simile:A metaphorIt’s raining cats
and dogs.an idiomNo news is
good news.a euphemismSenior citizens
are respected
in our country． My love is like a red, red rose.
It’s raining cats and dogs.No news is good news.
Senior citizens are respected in our country． figurative languageSimile:What is a simile?A simile is a comparison of two different
objects that are not usually thought to be
similar.What words are used in similes?as and like.How to make a simile effective?Readers must be familiar with the objects
being compared. Analyse the following similes:
Using as:
Similarly, many ordinary jobs may look
dull, but they are essential as water to
our sciety.By comparing these jobs to water, the
importance of these jobs is emphasized
and made more obvious. Using like:He loved camping, and his job was
like a holiday for him.Here the job is compared to holiday to express the person really enjoys his work and finds it relaxing.More similes for you to enjoy:1.The day we passed together for a while seemed a bright fire on a winter's night. 2. You are like a hurricane: there's calm
in your eye, but I'm getting blown away. 3. You are as blind as a bat.4.She is as happy as a clark.5.I’m not as timid as a rabit.metaphorWhat is a metaphor?Metaphor is when you use two nouns
and compare or contrast them to one
another. Unlike simile, you don't use
"like" or "as" in the comparison. Something is something.As a business person, you can’t be a mouse.
You have to be a tiger.Metaphors:You can’t be a timid person. You should be
a brave person.For lawyers , a courtroom is a battlefield.A lawyer is compared to a fighter. He must
fight to win cases here.Going to work everyday became a chore for
him, and he could hardly wait to find a new
and exciting job.Work is compared to a chore. This work is
boring and the speaker is tired of it.More metaphors for you to enjoy:I am a rainbow "I am a rainbow" is a example of metaphor
because it is comparing two nouns, a person,
and a rainbow, but does not use like or as. I am not Angel."I am not anger" is an
example of metaphor
because it is contrasting
two nouns.Yang Min found an interesting poem on
the internet about qualifications for
different jobs.Read the poem and under-
line the similes and metaphors in it.If you want to be…
If you want to be a spy like James Bond 007,
You need to be as cool as a cucumber and as sly as a fox.
and you need cast iron nerves.

you need to be as tall as a tree
and eat like a bird.
If you want to be an actorsimilesimileAnd a martial arts lexpert like Jackie Chan,
you can not be a weed.
If you want to be successful like Bill Gates,
you need to have a mind like a computer
and be as sharp as a spear in business.
similemetaphorsimilesimilesimileIf you want to be a magician
like David Copperfield,
You need to make people see that
black is white and white is black.
If you want to succeed in life,
You need to be as hungry as a lion. similemetaphorsimileB. Yang Min wants to find out the meaning
