I went to the English conversation class this day.

It was for the first time about one week.

The theme of this class was ‘similes’.

‘similes’ are ‘to express a expression by using another’.

For example, when you describe a person who looks really busy, you say…

You are as busy as a bee

I learned a lot of ‘similes’, so I’ll introduce some of them to you.

①…as short as a grasshopper

②…as easy as ABC

③…as cool as a cucumber

I heard the first and third expressions, when I couldn’t believe them!

I couldn’t understand why short/grasshopper or cool/cucumber are used together!
