Answer directly.
Direct answer is to answer directly from the front according to the other person's question. For example:
Q: What was the benefit of your factory in the first half of this year?
A: Very good. In the first half of the year, 70% of the planned annual output was completed, with the per capita output value of 1.2 million yuan, up by 10% year-on-year, and the profits and taxes paid were 32 million yuan, a record for the same period in history.
This kind of question and answer is friendly, frank and straightforward, and is usually used most frequently between superiors and subordinates, between colleagues and relatives, between customers and waiters, and between teachers and students.
Answer separately.
The so-called divided answer means that the questioner asks questions with malice or inclusiveness, and does not give a general answer of "yes" or "no", but listens to the meaning clearly, breaks down a question into multiple questions and gives correct answers respectively.
To make good use of this oral skill, we must first listen, clearly understand the conspiracy in the other party's words, and warn ourselves not to follow suit; Secondly, to decompose each other's problems, each other's problems generally have more than two meanings. Once it is broken down, it can be answered one by one. The beauty of the answer lies in denying all the provocative elements in the questions raised by the other party.
Change the answer.
Changing the answer is changing the answer. "The Art of War" said: "Soldiers are impermanent, but water is impermanent. Being able to win because of the change of the enemy is called God. " Changing the answer is a clever way to change passivity into initiative, defense into attack and obstruction into advantage.
The characteristic of variable answer skill is "anti-"answer, that is, after briefly answering the other party's question, use the other party's content to answer. For example, when former US President Carter was campaigning, a female reporter found Carter's mother. The following is a question and answer between a female reporter and Carter's mother-
Female reporter: "Your son told voters that if he lied, people would not vote for him. Do you dare to say that Carter has never lied? "
Carter's mother: "Maybe my son lied, but it was all for the best."
Female reporter: "What is a white lie?"
Carter's mother: "Do you remember a few minutes ago, when you crossed my threshold, I told you that you were beautiful and I was glad to meet you?"
Carter's mother's answer was tit for tat, which made the questioner very embarrassed. But this can't blame Carter's mother for being unfriendly, impolite and unkind. Her response was provoked by the unkindness of the other party and was "forced" step by step. As far as the content is concerned, its appropriateness, ingenuity and simplicity are impeccable.
There is also a more special situation of changing the answer, that is, seeking the answer. For example, on one occasion, four agreements on the limitation of strategic weapons between the United States and the Soviet Union were just signed, and Kissinger introduced the situation to the accompanying American press group in a hotel in Moscow. This is their conversation record-
Kissinger: The Soviet Union produces about 250 missiles every year. Gentlemen, if you arrest me here as a spy, we know who is to blame.
Reporter: What about our situation? How many submarine missiles are equipped with multi-warhead missiles? How many militia missiles are equipped with multiple warheads?
Kissinger: I'm not sure about these figures. As for submarines, my pain is that I know the numbers, but I don't know whether to keep them secret.
Reporter: Not confidential.
Kissinger: Isn't it confidential? How many do you think?
Reporter: ...
Kissinger clearly knows that these are confidential and can't answer. However, he didn't prevaricate with "no comment", but changed the answer to a question and answered it with a question. As a result, he turned to customers and pushed the questioner to an awkward position.
It must be pointed out that only when the questioner is hostile or aggressive can the answer be changed, otherwise it cannot be abused. Because it hurts the spirit, the result will be deadlock, silence and unhappiness.
Answer.
Sometimes, in the face of deliberately making things difficult or even insulting questions, if you answer them directly, you will feel powerless. Even if your answer is good, it's just a defense language to excuse yourself. At this time, you can use the skill of holding and answering. The use of answering skills is to grasp the correspondence and connection between things and put forward a proposition involving the respondent and the questioner, resulting in a situation of both glory and loss, so as to offset the opponent's offensive and make himself invincible. For example—
When he was sent to Chu, the king of Chu asked an insulting question: "Why did Qi send a short and immoral person like you as a special envoy?" Yan Zi said: "It is a rule for the envoys of the State of Qi to send different people to see different kings: those with morality to see the king with morality, and those without morality to see the king without morality. I'm the least virtuous, so I'll send you to see the king of Chu. "
The king of Chu wanted to insult Yan Zi, but he was insulted by Yan Zi. Yan Zi's answer linked his honor and disgrace with the king of Chu, which made the king of Chu unable to refute and self-defeating.
The secret of keeping the answer is to hold yourself and the questioner tightly together in words, so that the other party can't be in the dominant position of attack. But pay attention to the discretion when answering, because "interests are linked, honor and disgrace are * * *", so don't belittle yourself and each other too much. The general answer should have the meaning of "ambiguous" (I am like this, and so are you; I am like that, and so are you.
Wrong answer.
Answering mistakes is also an alert eloquence expression skill, which can be used in both serious oral communication occasions and interesting daily oral communication occasions. Its main feature is that it does not directly answer questions or refute them. Instead, use words to change questions and make answers that are incompatible with the meaning of the questions. Look at the following example-
A beautiful girl is sitting alone in a bar. A young man came up to pay tribute and asked in a low voice, "Is anyone sitting here?"
"to the Avda hotel?" She said loudly.
"No, no, you are mistaken. I just asked if anyone else was sitting here. "
"You said you were going tonight?" She screamed, more excited than before.
The young man blushed with embarrassment and went to another table. Many customers looked at the young man angrily and contemptuously.
This example is a typical wrong answer. Wrong answers, as a mutually exclusive and evasive means of communication, are often very useful.
Ask and answer.
Solicitation is to quote famous sayings, sayings and proverbs of celebrities to answer, so as to show your meaning or prove your point of view. This kind of answer has obvious advantages, which not only increases the authority and credibility of the speech, but also saves a lot of explanations and explanations, and also increases the vividness and appeal of oral English. For example:
Someone asked a parent, "I heard that your child was put in foster care at Liu Jiaoshou's house. Can you really abide by discipline and your grades will rise? "
Parents replied: "Some people say' near Zhu Zhechi', which is not bad at all."
The idiom "near Zhu Zhechi" is quoted here to answer, which is very accurate, concise and vivid.
Answer it.
Answer-to-answer is a kind of eloquence expression skill, which closely follows the words in the question, uses the method of answer-to-answer, makes a slight change on the basis of the original words, and makes an accurate, vivid and vivid answer. If this question and answer is used well, it can achieve good results. For example:
In 1950s, Wang Meng became famous for writing "New Youth of Organization Department", and was later wrongly detained as a rightist. After returning, the reader kindly asked Wang Meng: "Can you continue to maintain the creative style of" New Youth of Organization Department "?"
Wang Meng replied: "No matter how many well-meaning readers want me to keep the style of" New Youth of Organization Department ",it is impossible and unnecessary. In the past 20 years, of course, I was forced to leave the' Organization Department' and was no longer a' young man'. "
This passage uses the conjunction method: "forced to leave the organization department", which shows that he has been wronged and "is no longer a young man", which shows the inevitability of changes in his life and creative style. The answer is very artistic and ingenious. If you directly give a few reasons to talk about the relationship between life and creation, it will be stiff and old-fashioned In this way, the meaning of the text is skillfully connected between the author and the reader, and the effect is very lasting.
The answer is also commonly used in daily life. For example, when a child comes home from an exam, his mother asks, "How was the exam?" The child replied, "It's burnt!" It is very interesting to link the "test" of the "test" with the "baking" and use the "burning" as a metaphor for failing the test.
Answer.
Metaphorical answer is to answer some difficult questions by metaphor. It is vivid and clear. If you put on airs and make sense directly, it will not only be laborious, but also not necessarily have a good effect.
However, if we want to make good use of metaphor, we should carefully select the examples of vehicles, and pay special attention to the intersection of vehicles and ontologies; Also pay attention to the content of the answer, which is generally used to explain and demonstrate things. Other daily and oral answers are inappropriate, so don't abuse them.
Interrupt the answer.
Interrupted answer is a kind of oral communication skill that intercepts the other person's question and makes a wrong answer before the other person has finished or finished something. The difference between it and the wrong answer is that there is a human dislocation between the answer and the question, that is, the answer is irrelevant; Moreover, the wrong answer is the answer after listening to the question, and the broken answer is to rush to answer the question before listening to it. For example—
A young man and a young woman work together, and the man has a good impression on the woman. The man is eager to express his wishes. Although women get the message, they are unwilling to develop friendship into love. She thinks it is best to keep pure friendship. As a result, the following answers appeared:
Young man: I want to ask you, do you like …
Young woman: I like the philosophy book you lent me. I have read it twice.
Young man: I don't see that I like …
Young woman: I know you also like philosophy. Let's exchange learning experiences together in the future.
Young man: Really? ...
Young woman: Yes! I've always wanted to learn from each other and from you.
Young man: …
The young woman interrupted her answer three times, which made the young man understand her thoughts and stopped asking. This is much better than asking him directly, and the young woman refused to face it.
Cunning answer.
Sophisticated answers are associated with sophistry. A sly, strange meaning, a sly answer, is a very strange answer. Under special circumstances, when you can't, shouldn't or don't have to answer directly, you can use sophistry to deal with the problem. Look at the following example-
Ji Xiaolan, a scholar of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, studied with the emperor when he was a bachelor in the palace. One day, it was already dawn, and Emperor Qianlong had not come yet. Ji Xiaolan said to his colleague, "Why hasn't the old man come yet?" Emperor Qianlong just came in from the door, heard his words and asked, "How do you explain the word old man?" Ji Xiaolan used his quick wits and knelt down and said, "The emperor is called' Lao', the emperor is the head of state, and he is called' Head', and the emperor is the real dragon emperor, called' Zi'." As a result, I am very happy.
"Old man" is a disrespectful title for the elderly. Facing the censure of Qianlong, in order to exonerate himself, Ji Xiaolan changed the concept by word-splitting, which actually turned the "old man" into an honorific title for the emperor. Imagine, if Ji Xiaolan didn't use sophistry to deal with such a difficult problem, how could he avoid a fatal disaster? It can be seen that under special circumstances, sophistry is also a language skill and an eloquence art to deal with difficult problems.
