What figure of speech is it? How does this technique help to express the author’s emotions? It is parallelism. The use of parallelism in speech or writing allows speakers or writers to maintain a consistency within their work and creates a balanced flow of ideas. Moreover, parallelism can be used as a tool for persuasion. 21 Parallelism “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” — Neil Armstrong 燕子去了,有再来的时候；杨柳枯了,有再青的时候；桃花谢了,有再开的时候。 ——朱自清《匆匆》 春天像刚落地的娃娃，从头到脚都是新的，它生长着。春天像小姑娘，花枝招展的，笑着，走着。春天像健壮的青年，有铁一般的胳膊和腰脚，领着我们上前去。 ——朱自清《春》 Now make your own sentences using this technique. 22 Work in groups.

After failing to pick up any food with a fork for five minutes, the author decided to use hands, but stuck one hand into a bowl of warm, thick soup. e. Even using a spoon, the author spilled most of the soup on his/her shirt.

Now write a short passage to describe your experience. 27 Today in class, we played a game called "the blind traveler", in which one has to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. It is through this experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a blind person. Not being able to see where l was going, I kept going off the path and turning in the wrong direction. What's more, without the ability to accurately locate the position of the barriers, l often fell over them, even though I was moving at an extremely slow speed. And a loss of balance increased the difficulty of this short journey. After falling over more than ten times, I finally reached my destination on hands and knees. Sample Without sight, I couldn't even complete this short journey of no more than 15 metres smoothly, let alone overcome all the other various difficulties in daily life. I do realise that life must be much more challenging for the blind people. Sample Read the two points of view and explain their meanings in your own words.
