WLJ: Day 3: Activity 3: Faster than a speeding bullet.

Task Description:

The most renowned sprinter is Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She currently holds a 100 metre sprint record and was awarded a record four times as "World's fastest woman."
In Jamaica, which is a small Caribbean country that has produced many successful athletes and sportsmen, Shelly-ANN was born and trained. She did well in athletics during her college years and won the 16-year old Jamaican Schools Championships. She won several races in the Olympic and World Championships subsequently. Over the years the people compared their speed with that of many things, including animals, from other elite sprinters, like Usain Bolt!

In fact, people sometimes say things such as: "Shelly-Ann is just as swift as a goetah" or "Shelly-Ann is quick like a fighter jet." These are examples of similar comparisons. Similes are not always valid in many situations.

What we had to do:

For activity 3 we had to create 4 new similes and write them down and share to our blog with you's. At the top is information about the fastest women, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, she is described mostly as similes like "Shelly-Ann is quick like a fighter jet", so we are doing similes too.

Hope you are enjoying the blog posts that I have done, still keep tuned for some more.
