3  Reflections
3.1 Like and as
1–2 Learners’ own answers.
3  A star is like a diamond: Both are shiny and 
beautiful, but one is from the sky and one is 
from the earth.
Snow is like a fluffy blanket: Both are white 
and soft, but one is cold and wet and one is 
warm and dry. 
Beach sand is like golden sugar: Both appear as 
golden-brown grains, but one is edible and the 
other is not.
A dry leaf is like a sheet of old paper: Both are 
flat and dry, but one is for writing on and the 
other is not.
A grassy field is like a thick, green carpet: Both 
have green blades, but one is living and outside, 
and the other is non-living and indoors.
