Good Answer 🗣️ (Responding in English)

Welcome to Good Answer.
This is one of my favorite activities — and one of the most important.

Good Answer trains something students almost never practice in class:

👉 How to respond well in real conversations

The 3-second rule

Here’s a hard truth.

When you speak a foreign language, you have about 3 seconds to make a good impression.

In those 3 seconds, the listener judges:

1. Response time – Can you answer quickly?
2. Pronunciation – Are you easy to understand?
3. Accuracy – Did you answer the question correctly?

If you are slow, unclear, or off-topic, the conversation becomes uncomfortable.

Why this is hard to practice

In most classes:

• You talk to students at the same level
• Teachers are patient and help you
• You rarely practice real responses

So students don’t learn how to respond fast and naturally.

This activity fixes that.

How the Good Answer activity works

Each lesson has 5 questions.
You can practice in three ways:

Option 1: Listen & Choose

• Hear the question
• Choose the best answer

Option 2: Listen, Choose & Speak

• Hear the question
• Choose the answer
• Say it out loud

Option 3: Your Answer

• Hear the question
• Give your own response
• Aim for two simple ideas per question

You can score yourself and aim for a perfect 10.

Important rules 🚫📖

• You cannot see the question
• You must listen first
• No reading before listening — reading is cheating

This makes the activity realistic and effective.

Why this works

• Improves response speed
• Builds speaking confidence
• Trains real-world fluency
• Helps you sound natural

You can repeat this activity many times.
Each time, try a slightly different answer.

That’s how fluency grows.

What’s next

After Good Answer, you’ll do Real-World Reaction, where you hear speakers from around the world answering the same questions.

🎯 Fast response. Clear pronunciation. Good answers.

That’s how you win those 3 seconds.
