Hi everybody !
Bravo et merci à notre Fame, qui a frôlé le 10/10 !
Voici donc la réponse qui lui manquait, et, pour tous, la correction :
1) The boy who saved the child from the fire was as brave as a lion.
2) The news that Emma had decided to get married came like a
bolt from (out of) the blue.
3) Changing my job was like jumping out of the frying-pan
into the fire.
4) He was as pleased as a dog with two tails.
5) The children gathered around the ice-cream cart like bears
round a honey-pot.
A très bientôt, mes amis,
MystO'

Peut-on l'utiliser aussi au second degré ? (when you fall in love )

My dear Fame,
You can use it as a comparison : when you meet your soulmate , you'll say that it has hit you like a lightening bolt.
Don't forget to keep us posted about it !!!!
