Questions for the Guest
Questions for the Guest
In task 3, you write the questions you want to ask your guest. When writing questions for a guest, we recommend open-ended questions that begin with "what," "how," and "why" because they enable your guest to provide an expanded response. Avoid closed-ended questions that only require a "yes" or "no" response.
