Metaphors??? We speak in metaphors all the time, often without even realising it! In this lesson I’ll share a few examples of some ‘colourful’ metaphors which I’ve noticed people using recently, online, on TV, and in news articles. So if you’d like to know what a landslide victory is, or a U-turn, or a final whistle, you’ll find the answer here! After watching, you can test your understanding of these metaphors with the quiz.
It’s true that metaphors can enrich speech. It was a great lesson. Thank you!

Gill collected a bunch of colourful idioms which are often used among politicians. I like her explanations of each lesson that are the best I have ever heard from a teacher before. I am very sorry that she has passed in 2024.
