<u>Which phrase from the example contains figurative language?</u>

<em>D. The sun glared down angrily.</em>

<u>Figurative language</u> is the use of <u>symbolic descriptions</u> to convey a message in a striking way.  

<u>Sentence D</u> contains an example of <u>personification</u>, a type of figurative language in which an inanimate object (<em>"the sun"</em>) is given qualities that are human (<em>"glared down angrily"</em>) creating an image with a convincing effect.

A famous singer recently came to give a talk to the students at your school about her life and work. Your head teacher has asked
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no further specific references, we can comment on the following.

This is my report.

It is always interesting to know more details about the life of famous people. In this case, this female singer that gave a lecture about the life of a musician was interesting, although she talked in general terms. I think it would have been more interesting if she could have talked about the details of the music business for new musicians or the way she had to overcome adversities to become a popular artist.

I say this because there are many texts and references on the internet about the music business. However, there is such little information about the specifics, the details. And popular artists like her could be able to share good information with students about the details of the music business.

My suggestion is that we could invite these famous people but we should ask them to center their speech on specific issues so the talk could be useful. If they talk about general issues or about their lives, many books and pages already include their bios and general information.

We, as students, need more focused topics, that only listen to general information or the artist's public life that is already known.
