Similes 3 (Non-count Objects) - September 27, 2021
Lesson Collection #1 - Lesson 6c
This lesson focuses on non-count objects of the similes; many of these have both literal and figurative meanings. Additionally, there are no articles to work with.
My niece is as sweet as........honey.
My best friend is as thick as.........fog about computers. And
Sandra's as good as........gold.
There are 8 common English similes on each worksheet for a total of 16.
Higher-ability students will enjoy discussing the origin and / or the meaning of the similes on the worksheets. All students will enjoy using them to describe each other and themselves.
This can also be used as a comparative lesson as well; comparing two things of equal value (She's as sweet as honey) or of different value (She's sweeter than honey). And, if you really want to exercise your brain, this lesson can be stretched to include superlative metaphors (She's the sweetest honey I know!).
There are two similar lessons. They are:
Similes 1 (Animals) (See 6a above).
Similes 2 (Objects) (See 6b above).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear EFL4U,
I sincerely thank you and your entire team of wonderful professionals who are contributing tremendously to making the teaching of English a lot more fun and easy!

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
