Speech coach Nick Morgan suggests you do three things when answering a question:
- Repeat the question
- Answer the question - for example, "Yes, I think that we should continue using fossil fuels."
- Give reasons for your answer
- Repeat the answer - "For these reasons, I think we should continue using fossil fuels."
