FUNCTIONS OF ENGLISH
(Useful techniques of speaking)
1. Answering techniques
You may often need to delay answering a question while you think for a
moment or check on your facts. Here are some useful techniques for delaying
your answer:
- Well, let me see
- Well now
- Oh, let me think for a moment
- Im not sure, Ill just have to find out
- Thats a very interesting question
2. Hesitating
Hesitation is a natural part of using a language-both for those learning
English as well as for native speakers. Very articulate and fluent speakers
dont need to hesitate very often. The worst way to hesitate is with silence.
Silence causes embarrassment and confusion.
Hesitation devices give you time to think-to organize your thoughts and
decide how to express them. Here are some useful hesitation devices:
- Um
- Er
- Well
- Actually
- In fact
- You see
- You know
- The thing is
- How shall I put it?
- Lets see now
- Its like this, you see
- Sort of
3. Giving opinions
Here are some useful opening expressions to give yourself thinking time
while you arrange your ideas (These expressions are graded according to
how formal they are):
- I think that

- Dont you agree that
- As I see it
- Id just like to say that I think that
- Id like to point out that

When other people may not understand what you say to them. So you may
need to rephrase your own statements, beginning like this:

6. Checking understanding

questions:
