Why study proverbs in English ? Proverbs, short sayings that are generally known by many people and usually contains words of wisdom, truth or morals that are based on common sense or practical experience, are part of everyday language. We studied some of them in our last two classes. Now I´d like you to give your own contribution with a proverb of your preference.
In this task you are supposed to do the following things:
a) pick out a proverb you like , explain in English what it means
b) say if you agree or disagree with it.
c) choose a picture to represent it, as I have done in my classes
d) make up a small dialogue where the proverb is used in an appropriate context. e.g..
Birds of a feather flock together = Similar people tend to associate with each other
Agree: I think this is correct. People with similar interests tend tospend time with others of the same interest.
Context
A: I saw the boy who stole my bag with that gang of trouble maker last night.
B Well, I saw it coming ( dava pra se prever) birds of a feather flock together, they say.
OR disagree in whole or in part with it. e.g.
B: As a general rule of thumb, (como regra geral) absolutely com certeza)./ Not always. Most of my life my friends were different from me in many ways and we had a great connection. Yes, we had some similar beliefs, of course, but we still have our differences.
