You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions. 76 It is important to ask the right questions, though. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:
Be clear and precise about what you want to know.
Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly. 77 If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.
78
If you are uncertain about a particular subject, clarify it when it is being discussed. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject. Doing this would benefit the whole class.
Do not hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.
79 Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.
Write down your questions.
80 They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.
|
A．Do not ask more questions. |
|
B．Questions may crop up（出现）at any time. |
|
C．Being curious is not a bad quality. |
|
D．You may think this is good. |
E. Ask questions relevant to context.
F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to-the-point.
G. One-to-one interations（互动） are always much better than one-to-many.
