Read for language: P45, Activity 3
Find out what figures of speech(修辞手法) are used in the sentences. What emotions does the author want to convey?
1 Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, …
2 They had to live in rough buildings, packed 40 to a room, like sardines.
P45 Learning to learn:Similes(明喻) and metaphors(暗喻) 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.
Sympathy, admiration, pride, indignation(n.愤慨)
