What figure of speech is it? A similar structure is used repeatedly. Namely, “Use... as if... Hear... as if... Touch... as if...”. It’s parallelism. 2 How does this technique help to express the author’s emotions?

Activity 8 33002 The Blind traveller To experience how inconvenient life could be for a blind person, we’ll call some students to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. Try to make notes of your experience and feeling. Activity 7-8 33002 Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s passages and share them with the class. Today in class, we played a game called “the blind traveller”, in which one has to walk through some barriers with his 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 I 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, I 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. 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. Activity 7-8 今天在课堂上，我们玩了一个叫做“盲人旅行者”的游戏，在这个游戏中，一个人必须蒙着眼睛走过一些障碍。 正是通过这次经历，我开始意识到盲人的生活是多么不方便。 由于看不清自己要去哪里，我一直偏离小路，朝错误的方向转弯。 更重要的是，由于无法准确定位障碍物的位置，即使我以极慢的速度移动，我也经常会被它们绊倒。 失去平衡增加了这段短暂旅程的难度。 在跌倒了十多次之后，我终于用手和膝盖到达了目的地。 没有视力，我甚至不能顺利地完成这段不到15米的短途旅行，更不用说克服日常生活中的各种困难了。 我确实意识到盲人的生活一定更有挑战性。 One possible version 33002 Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other’s passages and share them with the class. Last winter holiday, my left leg was injured in a car accident, and for nearly one month I had to rely on crutches. It is through that experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a person with reduced mobility. It took me much effort to adapt to walking with crutches on the flat ground. And it was even more painful to walk upstairs with them. Eventually, after a few days’ practice, I could go up and down stairs quite easily. But the difficulty which I failed to overcome was when standing up on a crowded bus. My loss of balance and the sudden stopping and starting of the bus often made me fall over. One month in my life without the full use of both my legs was so difficult, it really made me appreciate the challenges of those for whom reduced mobility is permanent. Activity 7-8 去年寒假，我的左腿在一场车祸中受伤，近一个月的时间里我不得不依靠拐杖。 正是通过那次经历，我开始意识到对于一个行动不便的人来说，生活是多么的不方便。 我费了很大劲才适应在平地上拄着拐杖走路。 和他们一起上楼就更痛苦了。 最后，经过几天的练习，我可以很轻松地上下楼梯了。 但我没能克服的困难是在拥挤的公共汽车上站起来的时候。 我失去平衡和公共汽车的突然启停经常使我摔倒。 在我的生命中有一个月不能完全使用我的双腿是如此的困难，这真的让我意识到那些永久性行动不便的人所面临的挑战。 Another possible version 33002 1.
