Asking questions and answering them seems like one of the most basic tools that you use in everyday life. Well that is what I thought before we had the lecture on it and before I began researching the topic.

To not directly answer the question, to not postpone answering the question, to discourage inappropriate questions and to admit when you don’t know an answer.
