Hello I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!
This video is perfect for intermediate to advanced
English learners who want to improve their skills
in English conversations.
So I'm gonna share the exact phrases and expressions
that you need to do things in English conversations
like when you want to interrupt someone
or you want to change the topic.
Maybe when you need to end a conversation
and lots of others as well.
In fact, I'm sharing fifty useful phrases that will help you
in English conversations, all useful expressions
that you need to improve your speaking skills
and to help you maintain conversations for longer.
So I hope you're ready. Let's get into it!
Now a lot can happen during a conversation.
Talking about the topic is one important part
but to speak fluently and to speak with ease,
you need to have a range of conversation tools
up your sleeve because there are lots
of other shifts and changes that happen
during a conversation
depending on who you're talking to,
what's going on around you and
whether or not you're interested or not.
Right now we're going to focus on the tools
that you need to move around
in your conversations easily and naturally.
Alright and if you make it through to the very end of this
video, I'm gonna share some advanced expressions
to help you talk about controversial topics
to help you express your ideas when you know
that not everyone's gonna agree with you
right and you want to prepare them for that.
Now if that sounds a little too intense for you
and maybe you want to start by focusing on
simpler conversation strategies about
just starting a conversation with someone,
then I recommend that you first watch
this lesson up here.
So conversations are always two ways, right?
That's what makes a conversation.
So as you give your opinion or you share something,
it's always nice to invite the other person's opinion right?
And this is a really important strategy to help you
extend your conversations,
asking for other people's opinions.
So what do you say when you're asking for other
people's opinions?
Well quite simply, you could ask "Do you agree?"
Very basic. It's quite closed that question, so what about
if you opened up that question
to get a more interesting answer?
What do you think about that?
What's your opinion?
Or how do you feel about it?
If you want to make it a little more polite, you might say.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
Or I'm interested to hear your opinion about this.
And more formally,
maybe if you were at a meeting at work,
you know you might ask
"Would you like to add anything?"
And this is just, you know, a nice sort of
polite way of inviting other people into the conversation
to share their opinion.
So what about what to say when you want to interrupt?
