Hey all, Hi Candybear & Rap, I'm Dan and I have one
thing you might want to try. There are really two kinds
of questions; one is an open ended question, and two is a
closed ended question. One is closed where the answer
most probably is yes or no. example; Did you enjoy
the movie? You reply with a yes or a no as an answer
and dialogue is closed till someone talks in turn.
An open ended question does the opposite
its where an answer is followed by a question
which requires a reply that's different from the
yes and no. example; When are you coming back from
school? This is a reply that leaves an open,
to go further into a conversation. And, also
try not to use words like, I don't know, or, maybe,
or words such as; really, but, or sometimes;
I don't like,sounds less demeaning
than the word "hate".

See ya gals, take care, hope this helps you.

DB
