An easy-to-understand explanation of the concept of names and comparisons for 11-year-olds.
Every person has a name. It's a special word that identifies us and helps others to know who we are.
Names are important because they allow us to communicate. When you hear the name 'Emma', you immediately think of that particular person. In this case, we're talking about a girl named Emma.
Now, when someone asks you to think about 'like what', they're asking for a comparison. It's a way of getting you to think of examples or similar things. For instance, if someone says 'Emma is like what?', they might want you to think of:
In simple terms, it’s asking you to think about what 'Emma' reminds you of or what else is similar.
So, if someone mentions 'like what' in relation to a name, they want you to expand your thinking and come up with related ideas or examples. Just like when talking about Emma, you might think about other names or people.
Feel free to share what 'Emma' reminds you of!
