Good Answer (Part 4 Responding)

Part 4: Good Answer 🗣️

Welcome to Good Answer.

This lesson trains one of the most important English skills:

👉 How to respond well in English

Not just correctly — but clearly, quickly, and naturally.

The hard truth (coach talk)

When you speak English, there is one question you should ask yourself:

Are you boring to listen to?

Three things make responses boring:

  1. The other person has to repeat the question
  2. Your response is slow
  3. You answer the wrong question

You usually have about 3 seconds to make a good impression.

In that time, the listener notices:

  • Your response speed
  • Your pronunciation
  • Your accuracy

This lesson helps you improve all three.

Why this is hard to practice

Most textbooks don’t train this skill.
In class, you often hear slow, simple English from other students — not real questions.

So you don’t get enough practice responding to natural English.

How the Good Answer activity works

There are 20 lessons with 5 questions each
That’s 100 real questions to practice.

Each lesson has 3 levels:

Level 1: Choose

  • Listen to the question
  • Click the correct answer

Level 2: Choose + Say

  • Listen
  • Choose the answer
  • Say it out loud

Level 3: Your Answer

  • Answer the question yourself
  • Aim for 2 ideas in about 8 seconds
  • Sound natural, not rushed

No reading first — reading is cheating.

Why this activity works

  • You practice understanding real questions
  • You respond faster
  • You avoid wrong or awkward answers
  • You build confidence

This is the kind of practice that helps at:

  • Parties
  • Work
  • School
  • Everyday conversations

Coach’s advice

Do all three levels:

  1. Click
  2. Say
  3. Respond

This prepares you for the next lesson, where you hear native speakers answer the same questions fluently.

If you want to sound natural, confident, and interesting —

👉 Always give a good answer.
