Losing your thread mid-sentence is normal. Filling the gap with silence or repeated “um”s is what costs you the room. This one-page speaking reference replaces fillers with phrases that buy real thinking time, links your ideas while you think, and closes every response instead of letting it trail off.
What’s inside:
– 6 filler phrase swaps to replace “um,” “uh,” and “ah,” each with the specific moment to use it
– 8 connecting-phrase categories, each with a worked example sentence
– 8 closing lines by response type
– A what-to-avoid section naming 4 specific habits that break a listener’s attention
– A quick-reminders callout box built as a one-page reference for a glance right before you speak, not a guide you have to study first
File Type: PDF (.pdf), 3 pages
Topic & Level: Spoken fluency, fillers and connectors, B1-C1+
