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.

Hey Kurt,
This is absolutely the best site i’ve ever seen for EFL teaching materials!
Thanks so much!
Kate
Dear Kurt,
A HUGE THANKS !!
Because of what you do at EFL4U, my school is one of the best in the city. I think it’s really important for students to have fun, to act, to react and learn English by using it! With your active lessons, my students do all of that, and more….
Grammar is taught after or before the lessons… and all of my students learn while having lots of fun.
Kurt, EFL4U IS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE RECEIVED. EVERY YEAR, YOU ARE MY SANTA CLAUS.

My life as an English teacher changed dramatically when I purchased all of the great lessons from EFL4U.com. I use them constantly! My students always light up when I bring one to class. Truly fab. Fun, creative, educational.

Other language-teaching resource books promise exciting, ready-to-copy activities, but these worksheets really deliver the goods.
