Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson · Debating Skills in English 🗣️ (with Ray Addam) [996] · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

But even for natives, when they're under high pressure situations, like in an interview or on a podcast with English with Luke, you know, the umming and the ang might come out a little bit more.

But one thing, there's different ways to hide it.

One of the techniques is just to take a pause.

Or one of the techniques is to use repetition.

Or one of the techniques is to start speaking a little bit slower.

And then you can hide these gaps to give yourself more thinking time.

But all you actually really needed was more time to think.

And like that comedian that was talking about how to handle hecklers, he said that he'll ask them to repeat it because that gives him more time to think.

So in the debates, that guy who came in, I'm not going to say to him, sorry, I didn't hear you.

Can you say that again?

Because everyone heard him.

It was very clear.

But the point I'm trying to make is I need to buy myself more time so I can think of a response.

Because you mentioned it very well.

See the perfect counter argument, the perfect rebuttal.

You might have it, but it takes time to process it from a thought to language to then expressing it.

And when you only have one second to respond, it's really difficult to do that.

And under the pressure of the situation, it might come out like, oh, but right now,

So this is where this first technique comes.

So this first technique is called Socratic questioning.
