P. 199–211.

Have you ever been in a situation where you lost your train of thought because of being asked a question mid-talk or were distracted by a side comment? Probably, like others, you struggled to get back on track. Although such interruptions are part of authentic conversations, they are rarely addressed in English classes. In this chapter, you will learn about strategies for dealing with the unknown and unexpected in conversations and other speaking situations. You will learn about conversational elements, different types of interruptions that can occur in conversations, and various ways to use English interjections when responding to such interruptions. You will also learn how to incorporate interjections to facilitate conversational flow.
