what's kind of question is good question? 
these days,I am always thinking how to get good question when you join the conversation class.Sometime I am going to conversation class the foreign teacher will be give your chance to ask him some questions.
However,I got chance to ask them,but I still think my questions is so boring when I asked him.And sometime I am very quiet,I mean:I have no question to ask them.I have no idea to ask.  Let's me sad.
Do you know what's kind of question is good question??Would you give me suggestion?
Thanks a lots. |

| | Re: what's kind of question is good question? i guess there aren't any stupid questions. it depends on who you're asking, if you ask the right question to the right person, it won't be stupid
i mean you never know until you ask, just make sure it's in the topic |

So,I just want to know some good questions and to get some topic...that's all.
Thanks so much  |

Thanks a lots. | I hope that the teacher is doing more in the class than sitting there taking questions from students.
It really isn't important what the questions are, PW as long as you're getting a chance to actively participate in two way conversation.
I don't know the level of the class, but there really are a zillion and one questions that you could ask.
Try some here. |

Pheonix, this is a GOOD question to ask your teacher, "what's kind of question is a good question?" Ask it. 
Let us know what s/he said. |

| | Re: what's kind of question is good question? I think that what the teacher probably means by the "good" question is one that is not easily answered, and that it will lead to discussion.
So you need to find questions that cannot be answered in one word, but need to be reasoned out. "What is a good question" is a good question! | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
