Figurative speech

Madam Noorakhma shared a wonderful figurative speech song by Lenka, with pictures! It is said that the pictures are drawn by pupils in Thailand. Can you guess what kind of figurative speech used in the video? In the mean time, let's sing the song together!

It is a simile. A simile is a way to compare of one thing with another thing of a different kind. It makes the description more interesting. There is an interesting quiz that you might want to try:

Is there any other similes that you know or came across with?

  1. Let me give one example: as smooth as silk. It's because both are slippery.

    Can you think of other similes?
