[Lichu]

Q1:

I quite enjoyed this lesson. I think teaching simile and metaphor help students writing more creative and uiqune. Maybe they can use these skills in writing a short autobiography when they apply for a job position or a school program. This will certainly make their bio stand out.

I like Jenny's idea about "writing more creative and uiqune".
