Unit 4Figurative Language: “The Social Triangle” and Poetry
Wrap Up
A. Listen to the explanations of three figurative language devices and match each one correctly.
Script
1. This device compares two different things using words like like, as, or than. For example, “She swims like a fish” highlights her swimming skill by comparing it to that of a fish.
2. This gives human traits to non-human elements. For instance, “The wind whispered through the trees” describes the wind as if it could whisper.
3. This directly compares two things without like or as, suggesting similarity. For example, “Time is a thief” suggests that time is like a thief stealing life’s moments.
