【Presentation難題】Q＆A環節俾人問到口啞啞？12種情景的必備參考句子（上）
#職場英語 #Q&A #英文 #職場
眾所周知，一般Presentation中都會有「問答環節（Q＆A session）」。一個好的Q＆A session不但可以令整個Presentation加分，有時Presentation最精彩的部分甚至就是在Q＆A session！這也是為甚麼很多西方的演說都盡量縮短講者演說的時間，留下充分的時間讓觀眾問問題。
然而，點解每次Presentation時都最擔心Q＆A環節？怕冇人問問題會dead air？怕觀眾challenge你？怕聽唔明問題？定係擔心自己唔識答？如果真的不懂回答，應該如何不失霸氣地向觀眾坦承不會回答？
在接下來兩個星期，我將會傳授Q＆A環節必備技巧，一共涵蓋「十二大situations」，並為你帶來一系列的參考句子。今個星期先會大家帶來以下六大處境的參考句子：「1. 告知觀眾提問時機」、「2. 請觀眾開始提問」、「3. 感謝觀眾提問」、「4. 聽不懂觀眾的問題時」、「5. 確認觀眾的問題」及「6. 向觀眾坦承不會回答」。
