Holiday Letters

For our holiday recount we wrote a letter to a friend.  Our focus was on ‘hooking’ the audience through use of figurative language.  Here are some highlights that made me smile.

“You will love to hear about my holiday, it was so cool you’ll be sad to have missed it.”

“You wouldn’t believe how much fun I’ve had these holidays.”

“I like that you’re as nice as ice-cream and as beautiful as a flower.”

“I jumped as high as a leopard, it was as much fun as a spectacular birthday party with suspicious jumping people on the trampoline.”

“The movie Storks was so funny I nearly fell out of my seat!”

“We went down the giant slide as fast as a rocket, wheeeeee”

“I went to the little penguins and they were so cute, and one stared right at me!”

“The hot pool was so hot it nearly burned my pants off.”

“I went dirt biking and I went as fast as a flash!”

“We played a family cricket test match and I bowled incredibly.”

“We went to the Pancake Rocks and it was as pretty as a Monarch Butterfly.”

“I saw the Secret Life of Pets and it was so funny I got the hiccups.”

“We were treated to see the hilarious movie Storks.  If you saw it you would pee your pants with laughter.”

“I had a flipping good time at Flipping Out.”
