Stuttgart seems to be dressed in holiday clothes. Stuttgart looked very bright and colourful. Possibly it was ready for a parade or procession, with waving flags, etc.
The streets are studded with posters. There are posters everywhere.
A lot of people are swarming like ants. There are people everywhere. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."

Hi, What is the difference between "the idiom" and "the figurative speech"? |

"Fast" won't work, you have a tall mountain to climb, so be patient. Start doing exercises (this site has them in great abundance).
One word of advice: you'd better find something that you enjoy doing, that involves English (maybe playing a game or watching a movie where the characters use English). Otherwise you will lose interest fairly quickly and drop out. _________________ "He who tries to establish his point by much yelling shows that his reasoning is weak"
