5.2 How to Survive a Q&A session? (1)
（質疑応答１）
Lisa, could you tell me how to handle Q&A? I often find it difficult to answer questions from an audience.
Of course.
At least, you’re supposed to respond to questions sincerely. It’s important that you try to answer the question even if you don’t know the answer.

I got it.
In order to handle Q & A effectively, I’d like to learn more techniques and new expressions in English. I sometimes find it difficult to understand questions from the audience because I can’t hear them well.

In that case, you can just ask them to repeat their question. If you’d like them to speak up, you can say that, as well.
I see. I often hesitate to say things like that in front of a lot of people, because I’m shy.
You don’t have to worry about that. You won’t look like an idiot just because you ask them to repeat their questions. By using the following sentences/expressions, I recommend that you show your sincerity to the audience as a researcher by handling the Q and A session well.
