hello everybody and thank you for

0:01

joining me again and welcome to any new

0:03

viewers

0:04

just a short but important video today

0:07

because

0:08

if you're planning on taking a cambridge

0:10

english exam

0:11

or any english exam really where you

0:14

need to speak with a partner

0:15

as part of the exam you may be faced

0:18

with a situation

0:19

where your partner speaks a lot maybe

0:22

too much

0:23

maybe because they're nervous or maybe

0:25

it's just their personality it's the way

0:27

they are

0:28

but you can't let that happen this is an

0:32

opportunity for you to demonstrate your

0:33

fantastic level to the

0:35

examiners so you're going to need to

0:37

know how to

0:38

interrupt politely now

0:42

there are many ways of doing this but

0:44

shut up

0:45

you're boring get on with the video

0:48

okay that's not the way to do it but

0:51

he's right

0:52

let's do this

0:59

it's pouring with rain at the moment

1:00

absolutely chucking it down so

1:02

i hope it doesn't affect the sound

1:04

quality of this video but i'll continue

1:06

anyway

1:07

so in a moment i'm going to show five

1:10

examples of ways

1:11

in which you we can interrupt politely

1:14

in english

1:15

in fact four of them are polite the last

1:17

one is a little bit more forceful

1:19

and you'll see why but before we look at

1:22

those i should explain that

1:24

really most of the time you won't need

1:26

to use these expressions because

1:28

usually your body language or just by

1:32

saying

1:32

yes i agree or no i disagree that's

1:35

usually enough to

1:37

to signal to the speaker that you want

1:40

to

1:40

contribute something you want to say

1:42

something but as i said sometimes

1:45

your partner may be so nervous that they

1:47

don't pick up on those signals

1:49

or again maybe it's just their

1:50

personality they don't really listen to

1:54

what what's happening around them or

1:55

they're not very aware

1:57

so it may be the case that you need to

2:00

use some of these

2:01

expressions so let's look at the first

2:06

one

2:08

well in my opinion the best way to deal

2:10

with climate change is to reduce

2:12

traffic and one of the best measures for

2:14

that is to

2:15

ban cars from city centres another

2:18

option is to do sorry can i jump in

2:20

there

2:21

yeah of course

2:26

oh i think reading should be compulsory

2:28

in schools

2:29

i think it's the best way for children

2:31

to learn about the culture and history

2:34

and also may i interject sure

2:40

oh i love traveling yeah for me it's

2:42

it's essential i need to travel i don't

2:44

feel fulfilled if i don't travel

2:46

i've traveled to every continent in the

2:49

world and i will always travel

2:51

as long as i can so the things sorry to

2:54

interrupt

2:55

yeah no problem

2:59

well there are many ways to keep fit my

3:01

favorite form of exercise is running

3:04

but i know for many people the gym is

3:06

the best option

3:07

but for me that costs a lot of money and

3:08

there are so many freeways do you mind

3:10

if i interrupt

3:11

yeah go ahead

3:17

well my favorite form of transport is

3:19

the train i think i love traveling by

3:21

train

3:22

uh it's much more relaxing and calm and

3:24

you can see the scenery and the

3:26

landscape

3:27

the plane is also good flying to a

3:30

country directly you you save a lot more

3:32

time

3:33

um and also buses but buses are a short

3:37

distance you

3:37

don't usually worry about distances on a

3:40

bus

3:41

and i've always had a car i remember my

3:43

first car when i was young

3:45

it was a sport i think and it was it was

3:47

red

3:48

um i had to save up a lot of wait a

3:51

second

3:51

oh sorry yeah sure

3:55

so that last example was a little bit

3:57

aggressive maybe a little bit more

3:58

forceful

3:59

but it may be necessary as i said if if

4:02

you have a partner like

4:03

the guy in that last example you're

4:05

going to need to have to

4:07

interrupt you're going to have to be a

4:08

bit more forceful because you can't

4:10

waste this opportunity it's

4:12

your exam as much as your partners and

4:14

you may be very nervous and you may

4:16

think well if my

4:17

partner speaks more it means i speak

4:18

less great for me but no

4:20

you only have one opportunity and it's

4:22

only about 14 or 15 minutes so

4:25

you need to take it take it with both

4:28

hands grab it

4:29
