Let's talk about answering questions in beauty pageants. You should be yourself, don't try
too hard, smile and be polite, like always. If they ask you a question, and you really
have no clue what they're talking about, there are good tips to buy time. You start answering
with, good evening ladies and gentlemen, and so forth, I'm glad to be here. And while saying
all those things, you can go through in your head, like, what could you possibly answer
to that question. So just buy time a little bit for yourself. If you still haven't got
the answer, and you still don't know what they're talking about, you can joke somehow
about it. "First of all, raste, and good evening, once again, everyone here, as well as the
judges. Well I think that, it is a big problem, not just in London or in-" There is a good
example, about how to buy time. I think it's better to make a joke about it, than answer
if you know that the answer is going to sound very stupid. Sometimes they tell you the questions
in advance, so that's okay, you have time to think about it. And I think you should
write the answer in a piece of paper, learn it before you go on stage, and then you can
be comfortable with it. In any case, you should make it sound like you just heard it, and
you're just answering it casually. Lets see some examples about how to answer questions.
" I think beauty is within, it's not outside, so it doesn't mean you have to go and buy
it, or be size zero to be a model." "You know, you have to live on, and you have to make
your parents proud, by doing something, maybe they want to work for an aids charity, and
I've actually worked for aids charity as well. I just went to work last year, and raised
4 thousand pounds." "If you had and enormous amount of cash today, how would you spend
it?" "Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think that would depend what is an enormous amount."
"Once again, good evening to lord, your excellency and judges, and my fellow ladies and gentlemen.
I would do that by organizing, I'd say an event." "First of all, we can look at the
different things that can lead to world peace, like being more lovable, avoiding violence,
there's a lot of things we can do, like start listening to each other. Because when we listen
to each other, we learn new things." "I believe patience and understanding, and taking time
to listen to children, I think that's the biggest problem in teaching right now, not
just teaching them, and giving them a lot of work to do." And that's answering questions
in a pageant.
