INTRODUCTION
As with most instructing strategies, online learning moreover has its claim set
of positives and negatives. Interpreting these positives and negatives will offer
assistance establishing in making techniques for more proficient conveyance of the
lessons, guaranteeing a continuous learning journey for the students.
Educating color simile is the primary step in moving your pupils beyond literal
meaning and instructing them to mature as writers. Students should see and listen
color simile dialect numerous times before they will use it in their own writing.
Exchanging these abilities into composing could be a long process, and your students
will require visit introduction to concepts such as color simile for joy throughout the
school year to memorize, to recognize and name this sort of writing.
The vocabulary of color terms has been studied from different points: cognitive,
semantic, social, psycholinguistic, historical and comparative. Colour words are an Google Scholar Scientific Library of Uzbekistan

interesting and extensively studied lexical set. Their high degree of salience makes them semantically flexible, as they are easily and immediately comprehended. All colours have a prototypical realization - the focal point on the spectrum at which the hue is deemed to be the "best example" of the colour - expressed in language by collocations such as blood red, grass green, pitch black, and so on, but colour terms can in fact cover a surprisingly wide range of the chromatic spectrum. It is therefore not uncommon to find them operating in terminology, where they distinguish, separate and identify entities on the basis of their hue: black ink, a red car, a green bottle. However, the range of application of a colour word can push well beyond the bounds of the prototypical hue. Language yields many examples of cases where the literal (prototypical) reference of a colour are stretched to the limits: a beetroot is purple, not red, yet the collocation beetroot red is conventional in English. Apparently, anomalous examples such as these are quite widespread, although they are rarely conspicuous enough to attract much attention. However, they make a significant contribution to understanding the range of hues that a color term can cover in a given cultural and linguistic reality, not least in that they provide a starting point for identifying possible sources of metonymical motivation for figurative language, and can help to explain why different languages encode similar meanings with different colours. Although the etymology of metaphorical colour-word expressions is well accounted for in monolingual reference works, no comprehensive account exists regarding the ways in which connotative colour meanings are incorporated into the language, and how the symbolic and connotative meanings of colour are exploited in the conventional repertoire of different languages. The paper investigates the connotations of English colour terms with particular attention to figurative uses
of black, white, grey, brown, yellow, red, green, blue and a few miscellaneous colours.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH
The main goal to help students explore ways of online learning the analogy of colour similarity names. Due to this fact the objective of the present paper is to find out a types of activities for teaching similarity online.
RESEARCH METHOD
For the present research, idioms were chosen with the help of continuous
sampling method from monolingual dictionaries in both languages. Moreover, for
this research used comparative-typological method. The data obtained from the Google Scholar Scientific Library of Uzbekistan

internet resources. The collected data are discussed in accordance with theories chosen, and described based on figurative language. The data collected by some steps. First, the researcher read novels and poems to find out colour similes and gathered all simile sentences. Then, the data collected arranged into notes and make a list of teaching tips. The collected data discussed according to the Gresswell theory: 1. Organizing and preparing data, 2. Reading data, 3. Coding data, 4. Interpreting data (Gresswell,2012).
Simile is a stylistic device that makes the text more impressive and bright. This research focused on finding colour simile in figurative language and instructing ways of learning online.
The colour has an enormous meaning in the life of modern people. Quite frequently moods, emotions and even people's physical state depends on it. It is clear, why psychological investigations in the field of colour are so popular1. However, examining those or other aspects, specialists often ignore deep historical and cultural experience of man, whose peculiarity is a constant aspiration to call subjects and phenomenons that surround him. The "colour picture of the world" is not an exception. That's why denomination of colour for linguists is one of the most of popular lexical group. Linguists typologists and etymologists investigated dozens of languages and came to conclusion that series of universal features exist in the system of colour denomination. Besides that, different attitudes to that or other hue is reflected in the vivid expressions, idioms and sayings, existed in the language. They accumulate social, historical, intellectual and emotional information of concrete national character. Below we want to mention a few ways to study color similes:
Color poem activity
Understanding and utilizing colour similes is an important concept to any writer. This color poem activity will ask your students to write poems about a specific color. They will then use similes to describe the color. There are two different types of color poems presented ...
Here's a quickie simile poem idea.
The poem is a description of the person writing it, they should describe each part in the most surprising, and positive way they can. They must be as complimentary as possible about themselves. Each colour should be true, the description of the colour can be as vivid as they like.
Line one describes their hair colour, line two describes that colour further with a simile

Line five describes their skin colour, and line six further describes that colour with a simile.
Line 7 describes the colour of their hearts. This can be ANY colour. Line eight will be a simile again, and can be of anything, but animals work very well. Example:
The colours of me!
My hair is brown like conkers in the sun my eyes are brown as autumn nuts my skin is paler pink than summer buds and my heart is dappled like the leopard that hides in the grasses.
Have fun! This poem can be done with many variations. 1. A poetic and crafty way to use similes for environment.
When you say something is 'similar' to something else you mean they are very 'like' each other.
We use a similar word, 'simile' when we are writing. Similes COMPARE two things. If I were to say a flower was 'like' , or 'similar to', or 'as yellow as' the sun, I would be using a simile.
The flowers were like little suns = a simile.
The flower's petals were as pink as Barbie's house = a simile.
The flower petals had edges similar to saws = a simile.
Example:
Pale blue
like the sky
on the horizon.
Orange as a
hungry baby
bird's beak.
Red as a
Valentine's Day

Small metaphor colour poems: Blue is the day above the tree. Mum's sheets are white tents in the wind. The air waved with green leaf hands. Now the crafty bit!
Write your online poems on things that are the same colour as the subject of your poem. Here you can draw a blue sky as well, or stuck collage pieces of blue onto a white background and stuck the poem on top.
2. Simile drawing Activity.
Use a simple drawing activity to help your students understand similes. Give your students a list of examples of similes ask them to draw an example of each. Your students will enjoy being creative and this simple exercise will help reinforce the use of figurative language.
3. Reading a book.
Give a passage to your class that is full of similes. They will read the text and create their own stories using colour simile.
4. Word bank
Give students a word bank with lots of words. Choose words that the students will find relevant to their age level. If your class has a weekly vocabulary list, then use the words from that so they get practice using them. Then have them write a certain number of simile and metaphor examples. Make sure they write equal amounts of each so they learn how to use them proficiently.
CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis, our research provided five educational activities of color simile for online learning.
Secondly, the discussion concludes that we use the colour simile to show the deep description of characters and to make clear imagination become more interesting. However, not all color similes contain the same meaning with native language.
