Systematic LPAT Reading/Listening Course--Chapter 3: Understand beyond the literal level. (Based on LPAT past paper)
 
13-A4-page chapter with the following STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS, arranged FROM EASY TO CHALLENGING, written based on LPAT past paper research and analysis:
1. Understand the difference between a simile and a metaphor.
2. A metaphor directly states a comparison. They are common in special expressions.
3. But metaphors are not just limited to special expressions. Our everyday language isfull of metaphors (e.g. you are 'wasting' my time -> time is money), but they may be quite difficult to spot.
4. You may be asked identify several words in a paragraph that use a particular metaphor (extended metaphor). For example, in LPAT 2018 Question 1 on text about fake news.
5. Apart from metaphors and similes, there are many other types of figurative language, like irony.
6. Apart from identifying metaphors and similes, you will need to identify:(1) what objects or ideas are being compared and(2) explain their meaning.
7. Implied metaphors relate one object to another object without mentioning the second object explicitly. The most difficult questions ask you to identify the second object in an implied metaphor.
 
Each of the above steps comes with its own EXPLANATION, EXAMPLE AND PRACTICE inspired by LPAT questions.
 
After reading this chapter, you will become more proficient at understanding figurative language, including irony, simile and metaphor, and explaining their use and effect.
