ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

100% English

Okay kiddo, today we are going to learn about explaining things like you are five years old. When someone explains something in a way that is easy for you to understand, we call it "ELI5."

Imagine you wanted to learn about how a car works, but you don't know much about engines or how cars move. An adult might explain how the engine works and how the parts help the car move, but you might not understand all the technical terms they are using. That's where ELI5 comes in!

ELI5 is when someone explains things in a way that is easy for a child to understand. They might use simpler words, pictures, or analogies to help you understand something. It's like breaking down a big idea into smaller pieces that you can put together in your head.

So, the next time you don't understand something, ask if someone can ELI5 it for you! It's a great way to learn something new without getting overwhelmed with complicated language or confusing details.
