So often, people get high scores on English exams but can't craft an original, eloquent sentence. Even more often, they won't understand the subtleties when other people play with the language. Why is this? Well, for one thing, you don't learn this in class. Today, we're going to practice the eloquent art of metaphors, and we'll focus on using them for personal development._x000D_

What are metaphors? How do they work? She is the rain, and I'm a desert. Metaphors are some of the most powerful ways to illustrate a point or an emotion. And you can invent your own! How can you do this? How can you use metaphors effectively? How can you use them meaningfully, powerfully, and for your own personal growth? With the vocabulary you have right now, there are endless metaphors. Let's practice together!_x000D_

In this club, we'll look at some common metaphors. You'll learn techniques to create your own metaphors, and you'll write your own. We'll learn about and discuss how they enhance communication and how important they are in language and literature. This club will involve both talking and writing and will allow you to utilise the vocabulary you already have in ways you've never done before. This will involve some real personal growth in both English and general communication skills, and it will be fun!_x000D_
