Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For similes/metaphors: Think of December's elements (e.g., snow like a blanket, cold as ice).
  2. For passage: Use the chosen figurative language to vividly describe December.

Answer:

  1. For example, "The snowflakes fell like tiny feathers" (simile) or "December is a cold - hearted beauty" (metaphor).
  2. December in my town is a winter wonderland. The snow covers the ground like a soft, white quilt. The bare trees stand like silent sentinels, their branches reaching out as if to catch the falling snow. The air is as cold as a freezer, but the sight of the snow - capped houses makes it all seem magical.
