Back in 1983 a Mr William Walker discovered an enormous claw bone in a Surrey clay pit. It was called Baryonyx Walkeri and was the first carnivorous dinosaur to be discovered in England. The claws were about a foot long.
It was not just a lucky find. Finding the dinosaur was a result of hard work and thought. Having a dinosaur named after you mans that your name will live on for a long as records last.
After all the hard work you and your family have done wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a type of verbal reasoning question named after you? Take your child’s first name and your surname as the description of the type of verbal reasoning question.
For example we know that the letters alpha (α) and beta (β) are the names of the first two letters of the classical Greek alphabet. So we could call a new type of 11+ question The Alpha Beta question.
Doing verbal reasoning exercises we sometimes have to put letters in order. Sometimes into alphabetical order.
We will now invent our own reasoning question (called the (First Name : Surname):
Take the following words, translate them, and write the ensuing words in English in order.
Je voudrais manger des escargots.
All you need is a bit of translation, some common sense - and are they not fantastic with garlic?
