Yesterday, I received a phone call from my friend. She asked me a question and I answered it immediately. I told her that I had just read an article about the topic she had asked about, so I knew the answer. She thanked me for answering her question and said that I was always so knowledgeable about different things.

Later, I went to a job interview and the interviewer asked me several questions. I answered them confidently and provided examples to support my answers. The interviewer seemed impressed with my answers and said that I had great communication skills.

In the evening, I met up with a group of friends for dinner. During our conversation, one friend asked a question that nobody knew the answer to. I remembered reading about the topic a while ago and answered the question. My friends were amazed and asked me how I knew the answer. I told them that I had just happened to come across the information and had remembered it.

Overall, I answered many questions throughout the day and felt proud of myself for being knowledgeable and confident in my responses.
