How to move on after your break up- The right way! Gaurav Tiwari
The document provides advice for moving on after a breakup. It suggests that people often forget who they were before the relationship and lose themselves. To move on, one must remember the confident, independent person they were before and reclaim that identity. It argues that one likely ditched themselves first by giving up who they were for the other person. To fully move on, one must point the finger at themselves for changing instead of blaming the ex-partner, and work to bring back the "real" self that still exists deep down. Reconnecting with that true identity is presented as the key to claiming oneself back and achieving the ability to fully move on from the past relationship.

a word or expression used not with its original meaning but in an imaginative way to make a special effect is a Figure of Speech.
A figure of speech is a word or phrase using figurative language—language that has other meaning than its normal definition. In other words, figures of speeches rely on implied or suggested meaning, rather than a dictionary definition. A figure of speech is a deviation from the ordinary use of words in order to increase their effectiveness. It is also known as a rhetorical figure too because it produces a rhetorical effect. It deviates a statement from its real meaning or common usage to create a new required effect. It usually emphasises, embellishes, or clarifies language in both written and oral form. We can see its usage in literature too. We can even see it in advertisements, posters, slogans, newspapers, magazines, cartoons, etc.
Figure of speech can easily catch eyes and highlight the purpose of use. It is designed to make a comparison and create a dramatic factor while writing or speaking. Basically, it is a figurative language that may consist of a single word or phrase. It may be a simile, a metaphor or personification to convey the meaning other than the literal meaning. It is usually classified as different schemes. The ordinary sequence or pattern of words is known as a scheme. We usually perform basic four operations as below to create the required effect:
The addition is also known as repetition, expansion, or superabundance.
An omission is also known as subtraction, abridgement or lack.
Transposition is also known as transferring.
Permutation is also known as switching, interchange, substitution, or transmutation.
We can see many varieties in figures of speech because its prime aim is to use language to create the desired effect. For example, the usage of expressions like the mouth of a river, round and round, the eye of a needle, nasty place, a stream of abuse, money talks, butterflies in the stomach, painful pride, etc. We can see it in literature, poems, movies, speeches, etc. Therefore, in this article, the importance of figure of speech along with its various types with examples will be discussed.
Importance of Figure of Speech
It enhances the beauty of the writing. It makes the sentence deeper and leaves the reader with a sense of wonder. It brings life to the words used by the writer. The figure of Speech not only shows the writer's intent but also his purpose in using such language.
It adds flavour to the writing and makes it so much more enjoyable for the reader.
There are five major categories of figures of speech as below:
Figures of resemblance: It is also known as the figure of relationship. It is made up of simile, metaphor, or kenning.
Figures of emphasis: It is also known as a figure of an understatement. It is made up of hyperbole.
Figures of sound: It uses alliteration.
Verbal games: It is also known as gymnastics. It includes puns.

The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. What is an idiom?
An idiom is an expression with the following
features:
• 1. It is fixed and is recognized by native
speakers. You cannot make up your own!
• 2. It uses language in a non-literal -
metaphorical - way.
3. What is a metaphor?
Metaphors not only help people describe and
make sense of their lives, but can serve as a
source of encouragement, motivation,
or gratitude.
7. • If you are facing a challenge, a metaphor
might help you see the big picture and give
you strength; for example, someone going
through cancer treatment/ depression may
view the journey as climbing a mountain.
8. Good mental health includes having life
metaphors that help you see the big picture of
your life.
9. A Garden
• If you see a garden as a metaphor for your life,
you may see that relationships with family and
friends can be cultivated like flowers or
vegetables.
10. • Relationships, like flowers, need regular
watering. They need sunshine. Sometimes
they need to be pruned. Sometimes you need
to weed the garden (eliminate toxic friends).
11. • The end result can lead to plants (or
relationships) which are growing, producing
oxygen that help you breathe, and create
beauty as they flower.
12. • A Building
• A building is a solid metaphor for life and can
be a reminder that a sturdy foundation is
needed before building higher.
• Once you have a firm foundation in place, it's
easier to confidently add floors and rooms
which will stand the test of time and weather.
13. • A Roller Coaster
• A roller coaster can be a metaphor to describe
the speed bumps we all encounter.
• You don't fully experience the high points of
your journey without the contrast of the lows.
14. How has your life been/ is your life a
rollercoaster?
• How can we make the rollercoaster a safer
ride?
• Precautions
• Cautiousness
• Safety protection.
15. • Climbing a mountain can describe our
education or the steps we take in climbing the
corporate ladder.
• Life often consists of hierarchies.
• This metaphor also illustrates that it takes
hard work, determination, and sheer
endurance to get where we wish to go.
17. • Most mountains paths are not directly uphill,
but take us down through valleys to get to the
next peak.
• Emotional resilience allows you to follow the
trail as it descends before it turns the corner
and heads back up again.
18. Life is a classroom in so many ways and there
are always new lessons to learn no matter your
age. This metaphor can be a reminder to keep
your mind active and learning throughout your
life.
Is life long learning achievable?
What are the best ways?
19. • A Prison
• A prison can be a metaphor for a life in which
you feel out of control. You may feel like you
don't have choices and that others have the
power.
20. • Activity. Draw a picture of what ‘freedom’
means to you. Share in small groups. Choose
the best to present to class.

own language. A metaphor uses one idea to stand for
