2) Asking & Answering Questions -

As a tour guide you will face new challenges every day. One of
the hardest parts of your job may be answering questions.
Unlike a speech that you can memorize, you won't always know
what questions people will ask. However, you can anticipate
certain types of questions and certain ways that questions will be
asked. You should also learn how to use variety when you
answer questions or respond to comments. You may lose interest
in your job if you say the same thing each time. Finally, it is
important to know how to politely explain that you don't
understand a question.

Tour Guide
 Do you have a question, Sir?
 Yes? (if you see a hand raised)
 Is there something I can help you with?
 I'll try my best to answer your questions.
 I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that. (Sorry I don't know.)
 That's an interesting question.
