Hi! My name is Jason Palmer and I'm an English teacher from Toronto, Canada.
Today we're going to talk about nosy questions that is questions that are
personal in nature, and how you can answer them correctly. Sometimes people
might ask you really personal questions that make you feel uncomfortable or you
simply don't want to answer. Today we're going to look at six of those common
personal questions, and how you can give a good answer without maybe offending
someone or revealing too much information.
The first question we're going to look at here is the question: how much money
do you make? Now, it's not a common question that people would ask you, but
sometimes people do. And you might not feel comfortable telling someone the
answer to this question. So, a good way to answer this question is to say something
like "I do quite well thank you", or "I only really discuss financial business with
my spouse". It's a kind of way you can avoid this question just by telling them
that you maybe have a policy where you don't talk about this to other people, or
simply that you're happy with whatever money you make, and the number doesn't
matter. The second question that someone might ask you, perhaps they're interested
in the new house that you bought. They might ask you: how much did you pay for
that house? Now, for some people this question isn't really personal, but for a
lot of people they don't like to give this information. So, in this case what
you could say is: "Well, I paid the going market value in my neighborhood". Or they
might even ask you: what that is? Then you can give a range, you can tell them how
much exactly houses in your neighborhood typically cost, but
again it's a good way you don't have to tell them what your how much your house
cost exactly. Another common personal question you
might be asked, and this is a common question if you spend time with your
family or relatives and maybe you're in your late 20s or your early 30s, and you
are single, they might ask you: why are you still single, or are you still single?
For many people they don't mind this question, but again this could be a
question that might make you feel uncomfortable. And a good answer would be
to simply say "I'm happy, thank you", or "I'm happy with my situation, I'm enjoying
this time of my life" because sometimes maybe people just like to be single and
that's a good lifestyle for them. And this question kind of assumes that
there's a problem with that, so it's good to let people know that you're happy
with your life in your situation. Okay, the next question we're going to talk
about is a question about your weight. Sometimes maybe you've changed your diet
or your lifestyle, and you've lost a few pounds or you've gained a few pounds
maybe it was the Christmas holidays. People might notice this and they might
ask you a question like have: you gained weight? you look a little bit heavy these
days". Or they might try to give you a compliment - they might say: "Have you lost
weight?" - meaning that they think that this would make you feel good. But again this
might be good for you, or you might feel that this is a bit too personal. So, you
might just want to tell them that "I feel great, I'm feeling good, I'm feeling well".
You don't want to give too much information about why your physical
appearance has changed. So, let people know that you're happy with
whatever your physical situation is, is a good way to answer this question if you
don't want to share details about why your physical
appearance has changed. The next question people might ask if you are a newlywed,
if you are a newlywed meaning you have gotten married recently, you might be
asked: when do you plan to start a family? Now, for a lot of people that might be a
fair question, and they might enjoy sharing this information, but for some
people this might be too personal. And you don't want to talk about this
because, maybe you don't want to feel any pressure. So, you could answer this
question by simply stating: "Well, we already consider ourselves a family, we
have no plans", - or something along those lines. There's no reason for you to feel
that you need to answer a question like that. Okay,
another question that you might get, especially if you are a pregnant woman,
is: when is your baby due? Now, this question means when do you expect your
baby to be born. For many pregnant women maybe this question is okay or normal,
but some might feel that this is a sensitive question and that you don't
want to answer. So, this can be very difficult because you don't want to be
rude to the person asking the question, but you could simply say that "I don't
feel comfortable answering that question", or you could just answer by giving a
very vague answer, so, something like "in a few more months" or "it will happen when
the time comes". Something like that would be a suitable question a suitable answer
for a question like that. So, those are six common personal questions that you
might have or nosy questions that you might have where you might not feel
comfortable answering the question. There are many personal questions that someone
could ask you, so it is good to know some common answers to questions like these.
One thing you could say is you could say: "I'm sorry, but it's none of your business".
You could say something like "I'm sorry I don't feel comfortable answering that
question" or "that's a touchy question, I don't feel
comfortable with that". You could also say "I don't want to touch
that one, I don't want to touch that one" that means I don't want to answer that
question because the answer is too personal, or if you want to be even more
direct you could say "why would you ask such a rude question". That could be too
direct depending on the situation, but it's best to be clear with your
communication. Well, those are some good answers to awkward or nosy, or personal
questions that you might get, so, be sure to remember those and be sure to
