You want to interrupt in order to create connection
with the person you are talking to.
Interrupting politely can actually show that you’re
actively participating in the conversation and make
the conversation even better.
5. Here are some ways to interrupt a conversation:
1.To ask for clarification
It happens during cross questioning round.
To say or mention suddenly, often in interrup
ting the remarks of another
Eg: Sorry, but could you go over that again?
Sorry, but would you mind repeating that?
6. 2. To agree with the other person
If you are making a small talk with someone, they
may be talking about a topic that’s important to
them, such as a favorite movie or TV show, podcast
or book, hobby or activity, it’s fine to interrupt to agree
with them.
•This encourages them to keep talking about this specific
topic.
Ex: I loved that book!
That last episode of Game of Thrones was so crazy!
7. 3. To create connection during a conversation
If you disagree with what the other person is saying, it’s
much more polite to wait until they finish before sharing
your contrasting opinion.
Eg : Showing Approval/ disapproval:
“I appreciate your point of you but I would like to differ at
…” (disapproval)
“Definitely …”(approval)
8. 4.To to show interest and enthusiasm
If you are in a conversation where the person is mentioning
something you’re intrigued by, interested in, or otherwise
enthusiastic about, you can interject with a comment to
briefly share your opinion.
This shows the person you care what they are talking about.
Eg: I’ve been wanting to see that!
I haven’t had a chance to read that yet.
