Pause and consider

A reading note

A conversation can benefit from a small amount of carefully chosen context. Bring the passage that prompted your question and explain what part of it you found difficult to interpret. Then state the question before offering every related detail you collected. The other person can ask for additional context if it would change the answer. You can also invite them to restate the question as they understand it. That brief check helps reveal whether you are discussing the same concern, so a detailed response does not proceed from a different starting point.

Questions to carry forward

  • Which short passage would help someone understand where my question began?
  • What context is needed to interpret the question without obscuring its main concern?
  • Would the responder describe the question in the same way before beginning an answer?
