Questions are at the heart of everything. Good writing, good conversation, good thinking.

But what makes a question great?

In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore the art of finding and asking the big question; the kind that reveals complexity, creates curiosity, and pulls unexpected ideas to the surface.

Hosted by Emma, celebrity columnist for Shanghai Daily and accomplished writer and interviewer, we'll dive into the craft behind meaningful inquiry and why great communicators so often build their work around one central question.

We’ll begin by discussing a set of carefully crafted questions as a group, before unpicking what makes them work. Then you’ll craft your own and put them to the test together.

Through discussion, writing, and live refinement, we'll have a fascinating exercise in critical thinking, communication, and intellectual curiosity, one that sharpens not only your language skills, but the way you think, listen, and engage with the world around you.

提问，是一切的核心。好的写作、顺畅的交流、深度的思考，皆是如此。

但怎样才算一个好问题？

本次互动工作坊，我们将探索挖掘并提出核心问题的艺术—— 这类问题能揭示事物复杂性、激发好奇心、碰撞出意想不到的观点。

主持人艾玛是《上海日报》知名专栏作家、资深撰稿人与访谈者，我们一同探究深度提问的技巧，理解优秀沟通者为何常围绕一个核心问题展开表达。

我们将先集体探讨一批精心设计的优质问题，拆解其精妙之处；再由你创作自己的问题，并现场检验交流。

通过讨论、写作、实时打磨，完成一场关于批判性思维、沟通表达与求知欲的深度练习，不仅提升语言能力，更重塑你的思考、倾听与感知世界的方式。
