Strategy - Filler words

Filler words are words that are often meaningless. Filler words cover up pauses in our speaking and help conversations continue smoothly. Without these words, conversations could seem a bit odd and abrupt.

Frequently used filler words are: er, um, well, oh, so you know, I mean.

Can you think of more?

28d. Describe the criminal

• Work with a classmate. Prepare a short conversation where you use as many filler words as possible. You can talk about anything you want; your hobby, your plans for the weekend, etc.
