Exercise (in class)
Put three pairs of words, create an analogy for each pair of words.
1. Life – Ocean – Movement
Life is never stable, just like the ocean. Human are
supposed to keep going forward, like how the waves are constantly moving.
2. Child – Caterpillar – Growth
Child develops potential as he grows up, just like a
caterpillar in a cocoon.
3. Life – Road – Journey
Life is a road full of pits, and never ends. Although we face
troubles all the time, we must overcome them for longer and further journey.
