PRACTICE

1.**  A driver is trying to find a town called Hartford. He does not know the way and when he gets to a ‘Y’ junction he finds that the sign indicating the road to Hartford is lying beside the road. Do an FI & FO on this and see if there is anything the driver can do.

2.**  A hunter sets out from his home to shoot a bear. He walks three miles due South and then turns West and walks another mile before he sees a bear. He shoots the bear and misses. By now he is a bit frustrated so he turns and walks due North again until he reaches home. What colour was the bear he missed?

3.      In a travel agent’s advertisement you read the following: "An exclusive holiday in the Bahamas. The hotel is near the sea. You can sail and water-ski. Two weeks including travel." What information has been left out? What else would you like to know?

4.      You see an advertisement for a job. "Wanted men or women to train as assistant store managers. Age 16-40. Three weeks vacation a year. Free lunches and free uniform. Competitive rates of pay with bonus." Do an FI & FO on this.
