                The twins are as alike as two peas in a pod
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                Yes, he did. He really looked like a doctor
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Our love affair was as short-lived as a soap-bubble
             
         
        
            
            
                
                They worked like so many ants
             
         
        
            
            
                
                We worked like so many ants
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He is as timid as a mouse
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                Don't treat me like a child
             
         
        
        
        
        
        
            
            
                
                As soon as the dog heard his master's voice, off he ran like a shot
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The light shone like so many stars
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The news of her sudden death came like a bolt from the blue
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Seen from a distance, it looked like a human face
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                He is as grave as a judge
             
         
        
        
        
            
            
                
                Please behave like an English gentleman
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The room was as still as the grave
             
         
        
            
            
                
                As usual the peasants are busy scattering grain seeds
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Clans run wild like a storm in a raging sea
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                It is imperative that you be on time as usual
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                The skater spun around like a top
             
         
        
            
            
                
                A crow is as black as coal
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The people followed the dictator like so many sheep
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Down come the rain in torrents
             
         
        
            
            
                
                She is as beautiful as a rose
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He seems to be all thumbs
             
         
        
            
            
                
                After a six month period, his leg was healed and is normal again
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The girls were dancing lightly like so many butterflies
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The people followed the dictator like so many sheep
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                He looks just like a skeleton
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He went on reading the book as if nothing had happened
             
         
        
            
            
                
                She was as thin as a rail
             
         
        
            
            
                
                My brother was the apple of my father's eye
             
         
        
            
            
                
                So that Michelangelo might paint certain figures on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, so that Shakespeare might write certain speeches and Keats his poems, it seemed to me worthwhile that countless millions should have lived and suffered and died
             
         
        
            
            
                
                My crime seems unreal to me
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Correct it, as in example 1.2
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Tokyo, as you know, is one of the financial centers of the world
             
         
        
            
            
                
                After my husband's death I walked around like a zombie
             
         
        
            
            
                
                I saw five airplanes flying away like so many birds
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The small island looked like a tortoise from a distance
             
         
        
            
            
                
                All that time the things granddad had said, like the sound of flies flying round a melon, buzzed in my head
             
         
        
        
        
            
            
                
                The weather seemed favorable for the test flight
             
         
        
            
            
                
                John acts like Helen's guardian
             
         
        
            
            
                
                I waited for ten minutes, though they seemed like ten hours to me
             
         
        
            
            
                
                UN, as you know, stands for the United Nations
             
         
        
            
            
                
                His skin has the tone of a young man's
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Your opinion seems to be out of date
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The foreigner spoke Japanese as if it were her mother tongue
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The girl vanished like magic
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The children were working like so many ants
             
         
        
            
            
                
                High rises are mushrooming in the heart of the city
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He speaks English like a native
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The riverside bristles with factory chimneys
             
         
        
        
        
            
            
                
                Her deathly paleness is due to long illness
             
         
        
            
            
                
                As you know, we were late due to the heavy rain
             
         
        
            
            
                
                John is as lean as a wolf
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Is that all you can talk about - the Internet
             
         
        
            
            
                
                You are always as busy as a bee
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He is as mad as a March hare
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Silence grows like cancer
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He remained silent like a stone
             
         
        
            
            
                
                The hooded clouds, like friars, tell their beads in drops of rain
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                His lecture was very instructive as usual
             
         
        
            
            
                
                If you act like a fool, you must be treated as such
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                Mary takes Bill's kindness for granted
             
         
        
            
            
                
                I wish I could fly like a bird
             
         
        
            
            
                
                She behaved as if she were a little girl to his sons
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Crawl forward is done much more agilely - scuttle like a cockroach
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                He is being Nelson tonight
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He climbed up the tree like a monkey
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                He crept on all fours like a cat
             
         
        
            
            
                
                She is as beautiful as Snow White
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He lives as if he were a millionaire
             
         
        
            
            
                
                She looked like a daughter of a good family
             
         
        
            
            
                
                A bat flying in the sky looks like a butterfly
             
         
        
            
            
                
                In reality, I used to work like a dog
             
         
        
            
            
                
                Someday I'll run like the wind
             
         
        
            
            
                
                He dashed out like a bullet
             
         
        
        
            
            
                
                Curses, like chickens, come home to roost
