when someone asks me a question, I write it down,

All of the questions start with these two words, how was.

Every day, Jen asks me this question. "How was your day?"

And almost every day, I ask Jen the same question.

This question occurs in my life at the end of my day,

Jen will say, "Hi," and I will say, "Hi,"

and either she will ask me, or I will ask her this question,

So here are a few ways that you can answer that question.

By the way, this question happens every day.

Every day, Jen and I ask each other this question,

There are five ways that you can answer this question

from the happiest answer to the not-so-happy answer.

So the happiest answer would be to say, "It was great."

The second answer that's a little less happy,

but still really happy, would be to say, "It was good."

The answer in the middle that kind of means it was good,

but maybe there were some bad parts to it,

and then if it wasn't that good of a day,

you could say something like, "It wasn't that great,"

and if it was just not a good day at all,

you would say, "It was great," "It was good,"

"It wasn't too bad," "It wasn't that great,"

I don't often have awful days, so thank goodness.

The next question that I get asked quite a bit,

almost every Monday, someone at work will say,

The question they will ask me is, "How was your weekend?"

and I will ask other people this question as well.

They'll say, "Hey Bob, how was your weekend?"

using all of the same phrases that I just gave you.

You could say, "It was great," "It was good,"

You'll want to add a little more to the answer, though.

You'll want to tell them something you did on the weekend.

Jen and I took the kids to Niagara Falls,"

you can see how I added a little bit of information.

you will often be asked by someone, "How was your weekend?"

The next question that gets asked quite a bit,

but normally gets asked quite a bit would be,

If you went on a vacation, if you went on a small trip,

if you visited somewhere and you come back to work,

they might say, "Hey, how was your trip?"

Again, starting with how was. "How was your trip?"

And you'll want to add something as well, right?

Like, "It was awful. The flight had lots of turbulence."

referring to a trip that you just went on.

The fourth question that you get asked once or twice a year

or, "How was Christmas?" or, "How was New Year's Eve?"

So you might be talking about an event that someone went to.

So you might come back to work after a weekend

and someone might know that it was your birthday,

and they might say, "Hey, how was your birthday?"

"It was great," "It was good," "It wasn't too bad,"

"It wasn't that great," and, "It was awful."

As the teacher, I should know all the answers, shouldn't I?
