CONVERSATION STRATEGIES
 Here is an example:
 What’s your favourite food?
 Chocolate. Information only
This is only informative and very short.
So let’s try to make it sound a bit better.
Conversation strategies
 There are some  techniques you can
use to give yourself some time  to think
about what you are going to say.
 These are also strategies to expand
what you’re saying.
 In class, we’ll try not to focus on
information only. Instead, we’ll give
more importance to communication.
Be Smart and
 Pretend you haven’t understood the question :
 -” Could you repeat the question, please?”
 -“Sorry, I didn’t hear what you said. Could you
repeat? I’m a bit nervous.”
 -”Pardon? Come again? I didn’t get that.”
 Repeat the question:
 -” Umm... What’s my favourite food? Well…”
Be smart and
 Express lack of a clear opinion:
 -“I’m afraid I don’t know much about it!”
 -“It’s difficult to say!”
 -“I have never really thought about it!”
 -“I have mixed feelings about this”
Use a lot of CONVERSATION
FILLERS
 EMMM…
 WELL…
 LET ME THINK…
 I MEAN…
 YOU KNOW…
 SO…
 ANYWAY…
 BASICALLY…
 IF YOU SEE WHAT I
MEAN…
 IT’S LIKE…
 ACTUALLY…
 THE THING IS…
 …YOU SEE…
 FRANKLY…
 TO BE HONEST…
So here is the difference:
 What’s your favourite food?
 Chocolate. Information only :/
 What’s your favourite food?
- Ok, emmmm, so what’s my favourite food? Well, It’s
difficult to say, really… Let me see… You know, I think
my favourite food is probably chocolate, actually. I
have never thought about it, but the thing is that I
absolutely adore chocolate.
Information + communication :D
Now it’s time for some practice
Apart from this, remember to use
a wide variety of CONNECTORS
 AND
 BUT
 BECAUSE
 ALSO
 SO
 FOR THAT REASON
 THEN
 IN SHORT
 =AS WELL AS
 =THOUGH /dou/
 =GIVEN THAT
 =BESIDES
 =THEREFORE
 =THAT IS WHY
 =LATER
 =IN CONCLUSION
