3
and we'll share episode numbers um and it's definitely okay to listen out of order
4
so don't worry about that um so definitely listen
5
and we'll give you those numbers yes
6
and part one was about improving your small talk part two is about keeping the conversation going
7
but today we are talking about what to do
8
if you need to pivot maybe the topic has run its course
9
or something controversial comes up
10
and you can tell we need to change the subject we have all been there what do you do yeah
11
so today we are sharing strategies and phrases that can help you know
12
when to pivot and how to do it
13
so let's hear the episode hello lindsay how are you i'm
14
doing good today aubrey how's everything in your world today excellent
15
excellent i have a question to start us out today okay
16
do you enjoy chatting with friends about polarizing topics divisive topics
17
i think it depends on the friend yeah very much i'm
18
talking to some people are good at uh separating themselves
19
and kind of their egos from the topic i enjoy those conversations
20
because it becomes more intellectual more theoretical more uh abstract and i love that I love that kind of topic.
21
But when people take things really personally, it can be hard.
22
It can be really hard.
23
Yeah, I agree.
24
A hundred percent.
25
I'm the same.
26
It depends on who I'm talking to.
27
It depends on how open we are to each other's opinions.
28
Right.
29
Otherwise, it could just be contentious, which is not fun.
30
And unfortunately, I feel like now we're in a political moment where it just doesn't happen anymore.
31
I think a lot of the politicians in the U.S are retiring or passing away, the ones that used to be able to reach across the aisle and actually have friendships,
32
like Joe Lieberman.
33
He just passed away.
34
And he was a Democrat that apparently had a very strong friendship with John McCain, a Republican.
35
And I feel like, sadly, I'm not sure that that would happen now.
36
Or maybe it does, but we don't know about it.
37
We don't see it on the news because it doesn't catch headlines.
38
Right.
39
And I wish we could hear about it more
40
because yeah i think when people reach across party lines that's
41
when real progress is able to be made right i i love a sort of
42
that moderate mindset of listening to all sides and
43
and really trying to be more cohesive unified yeah yeah in today's episode it's not really about politics
44
but it's interesting to think
45
which way does it flow does what's going on with the
46
people in society flow up to politics where the politicians can't have those friendships across the aisle
47
or is it vice versa because there aren't friendships across the aisle uh
48
that people are getting divided i don't know
49
but something's going on right now yeah this is really interesting we got this great question about a topic
50
that can be quite polarizing
51
and we want to share with you guys some really good
52
tips for discussing controversial topics in english we chatted about one really recently
53
when we talked about diamonds right episode 2192 what about diamonds how to approach controversial topics in english
54
and we got another question about something else similar be sure to scroll up listen to
55
that one if you missed it and we're diving into another controversial topic today
56
yeah and this question came in through youtube and by the way guys
57
if you don't know we have a youtube channel
58
and a lot of our listeners consume our show over there on youtube
59
because you can see us on video so go
60
and check it out go to youtube type in all there's
61
english hit subscribe today this is from julian esteban uh aubry
62
would you like to read the question from sure absolutely hello lindsay
63
and aubry i've been listening to the podcast for a long
64
time it's always fun with valuable content to improve every day
65
thank you that's amazing we love to hear it we do
66
i have a question i'm not sure how to approach a conversation about environmental pollution and climate change?
67
I have tried, but it turns out to be very brief.
68
I'd like to know some vocabulary and common phrases about this to deepen the conversation.
69
Thank you so much.
70
Have a good one.
71
Such a great question.
72
Yes.
73
And so important.
74
We can't not talk about these things, but we have to find a way to do it.
75
And then when you say you're doing it in another language, it adds a level of challenge that we're here today for our listeners.
76
Right, Aubrey?
77
Exactly.
78
Absolutely.
79
And we do have to keep in mind that this could be a polarizing topic.
80
I personally know quite a few people who don't believe in climate change, who have very different, you know, just lots of different extremes and opinions.
81
And some people who just haven't read a lot about it, aren't very knowledgeable, including myself.
82
I know there's a lot that I could learn.
83
So we want to keep that in mind.
84
What does that mean, polarizing, Lindsay?
85
You think about two poles, right?
86
We have like the North pole, the South pole, things are very divided.
87
People are not in the middle.
88
They're on one side or the other.
89
And that's where we're talking about the top of the show.
90
Our politics these days are very polarizing.
91
And unfortunately, climate change is a political issue.
92
I personally wish it wasn't a political issue.
93
I wish it was just a human issue.
94
Right.
95
But that's how it is.
96
Yeah.
97
So let's get into it, Aubrey.
98
Yeah.
99
So because any topic like this, whether it's politics, religion, climate change, whatever it is, if you know,
100
the person you're talking to might disagree or just might not be interested for whatever reason, doesn't want to talk about it.
101
The conversation might be brief, right?
102
Like this listener noticed, and you might just have to change the topic, right?
103
You can't insist on making the conversation longer if the other person really disagrees or really isn't interested.
104
So that's the first thing sort of we're going to share some tips today about what to do,
105
how to start the conversation and how to read the room so that when you're starting a potentially controversial conversation,
106
you know where to take it or how if you should end it.
107
Okay, good.
108
So what do we need to know first?
109
What should we know, Aubrey, before we approach this conversation?
110
Yes.
111
Our first step is to be open-minded, right?
112
If there's a chance that the person you're speaking to won't agree with your opinions, we have to be careful about the language we use.
113
It's really easy to say something that will give the impression
114
that you think you're right and everyone else is wrong or ignorant.
115
And that can just cut the connection off right before you even start the conversation, right, Lindsay?
116
Yeah.
117
And what would be, I don't know if this is in our plan today, but what would be some key words that would you'd be using
118
that would be doing that maybe not even realizing it i think of words like obviously
119
or everyone knows we all know you started with like i can't believe anyone doesn't think like
120
and then you share your opinion exactly right or
121
if you think x then this right so these are sweeping statements
122
that could immediately shut down the connection without you even realizing it yeah exactly
123
so instead the goal if we want to have a conversation about something where someone might disagree, the goal right from the outset, before you say anything, is to be open-minded,
124
tolerant, inclusive of others' opinions, so that it actually is a conversation and not a lecture, not you lecturing them about what you think that they should agree with.
125
Yeah, because it's not, with these really divisive issues, it's not about knowledge, right?
126
It's about digging into opinions and it gets personal.
127
So a lecture isn't going to
128
isn't going to bring you closer in agreement exactly right so
129
if you can feel within yourself
130
that you're not in a position where you can be tolerant of the other side of the issue
131
this is a good example i think climate change i think there would be a lot of people who feel
132
so strongly one way or the other
133
that they recognize like i can't have a constructive conversation a
134
respectful conversation where i can listen to another opinion without disagreeing them and been getting really passionate.
135
If so, this might be a topic to avoid.
136
Oh, for sure. For sure.
137
Yes.
138
I love that.
139
And then number two is read the room.
140
Like this expression.
141
Read the room.
142
What does that mean when we read the room?
143
Exactly, right?
144
We're really paying attention to the body language as well as what's said of the people you're talking to.
145
And right away when you first bring it up for something that's potentially divisive like this,
146
potentially contentious, We read the room to see if the other person is even open to discuss it.
147
Same for politics, religion, anything controversial.
148
Yeah.
149
So for example, you might start something, what you say, by saying a lot of us get our information on podcasts these days, right?
150
So you might say, I was listening to a podcast about climate change that was pretty eye-opening.
151
All right.
152
And then stop.
153
And then what do we do?
154
Yeah.
155
Then, so to read the room, you gauge their reaction, right?
156
If it's positive and they seem interested, then you might continue with an interesting fact.
157
So you will be able to see if they meet eye contact, depending on their tone of voice, you read all of their reactions, read their body language.
158
Are they closing in like, oh, I don't feel comfortable talking about this?
159
Or are they interested in opening up?
160
And if it's positive, they're interested, you might say, you know, it said renewable energy is the key to a safer future.
161
What do you think about that?
162
So you're like sharing one detail you learned, asking their opinion, and then you again, again, gauge their reaction.
163
Okay.
164
And then I'm interested in what if you get kind of the downward eye contact, you get a signal when you read the room
165
that they're not in agreement with you or they don't want to talk about it.
166
What would you do then?
167
Would you pivot?
168
Yes.
169
And this is where I love starting it with, and I know I've recommended this on the podcast before, but to start it with,
170
I was listening to a podcast about blank because it's a very easy pivot.
171
If they are clearly not interested and they just are kind of like, huh?
172
Or something like they're clearly not interested.
173
You could just say, what about you?
174
Have you heard any interesting podcasts lately?
175
And you're opening them to totally change the subject by sharing something they've listened to on a podcast.
176
Or if they don't listen to podcasts, what do they know?
177
Do they watch TV?
178
Change the subject.
179
No problem.
180
You can chat about this with someone else.
181
Interesting.
182
So this is a connection episode today, right? because we're showing, it's kind of like politics or pivot, right?
183
Do you want to talk about this with me?
184
Can we have this conversation or do I need to pivot to, and I love the podcast concept, Aubrey, where it's just a medium right it's a way of
185
consuming it could be tv shows i'm watching a movie what other movies have you watched lately it's a pivotable
186
and question opener right it's a way we could move i like exactly it avoids
187
that potential awkwardness if you broach a topic
188
and they clearly don't want to talk about it
189
that there might be sort of an awkward choppy transition to something else this is not
190
that it's a very easy like what about you what podcast do do you love?
191
No problem.
192
That's pretty well thought out.
193
And sometimes when we do go into these conversations, we have to have that.
194
It's almost prescripted a little bit.
195
We need to have some tricks up our sleeve.
196
The backup if they don't want to talk about it.
197
Because you're talking about relationships that could really matter.
198
These aren't necessarily strangers.
199
This could be a brother-in-law, sister-in-law.
200
It could be someone who knows an important work contact, right?
201
These could be important relationships you want to make sure you maintain, right? right hey quick question do you want to feel more confident
202
when you speak english if
203
so we made a free guide for you it'll help you avoid those common mistakes
204
and start speaking more naturally in real conversations go grab it in the description below
205
and if this is helpful for you make sure that you like
206
and subscribe we're here five times a week to help you connect in english okay
207
so we've got some really good ideas on how to pivot
208
then what would be number three what would be the third tip yes
209
so if it turns out someone is interested
210
and wants to have this conversation it can be a sort of a mistake
211
if you all of a sudden realize like actually don't really know anything about this
212
so number three is just to be informed right
213
if you've listened to a podcast read a couple articles then you'll have some interesting things to say
214
and of course don't be
215
that me monster ask questions find out about their opinion make
216
like you said lindsay it's not a lecture you're finding out their opinion you're really diving deep too
217
because your goal is to find out about this person
218
that you care about know about want to know more about find out their opinion yeah
219
and be open to not just being well informed
220
but being willing to be corrected maybe make sure your your information's coming from a trustworthy source.
221
Always be validating your sources.
222
Always be open to learning new information, right?
223
I think that's another piece that we want to make.
224
Okay.
225
So we want to share a couple of role plays here because we've shared that when you start this conversation, it can go two different ways.
226
They might be uninterested.
227
They might be interested.
228
So let's share both role plays.
229
First, Lindsay and I are good friends here getting a coffee together, and we're going to share what it looks like if someone is not interested in the topic.
230
All right.
231
So it sounds like here we're going to see a pivot, right?
232
We're going to see a pivot in the conversation.
233
All right.
234
Let's do it.
235
All right.
236
So, hey, I was listening to a podcast about climate change that was pretty eye-opening.
237
Oh, uh-huh.
238
Well, what about you?
239
Have you listened to any interesting podcasts lately?
240
Yes.
241
I just discovered a true crime podcast called Counter Clock that I love.
242
This is so good.
243
This has happened to me before, right?
244
Because I love talking about interesting, controversial issues, but I'm careful to gauge, like, are they interested?
245
If not, quick pivot away.
246
Let's talk about something else.
247
I don't want it to be uncomfortable.
248
Yeah, I resonate with this.
249
I've seen a real difference and it's not better or worse.
250
It's just different.
251
But in my social interactions on the East Coast, in New England, in a city like Boston, Cambridge, Massachusetts, heavy academic town versus Denver,
252
I've seen that there's less, it's not that people believe in this or don't believe in that.
253
It's not political.
254
It's that there seems to be less interest in talking about these, these issues.
255
And there's a lot of talk about skiing, which is great.
256
Sometimes I get a little bored, but then I just have to know like this particular person, we're going to relate on this level and that has to be okay.
257
And I'm going to seek out friends where I can talk about bigger issues in a more abstract way another day.
258
Right.
259
So it's not always just, Oh, this is going to be hot button issue
260
and we're going to be attacking each other maybe it's just we don't relate on
261
that level we don't connect on that level right and it's also really interesting to think about having
262
lived a long time in the west i have found
263
that once i really get deep i get to know someone well they are interested they are reading about it
264
but in general the average person in the western u.s is less confrontational less willing to have the conversation
265
that might be divisive less willing to disagree to someone to their face
266
so they're avoiding the conversation because they're avoiding all of
267
that interesting yeah so there could be a lot of different reasons why you'd get
268
that response um denver's a city of transplant
269
so people are coming from all over all over the country
270
and it's interesting uh the vibe of a place right
271
so right if they're coming to denver maybe they're a little more laid back
272
and a little less yeah probably okay let's do the interested role play Yeah, I was going to hear as in Boston, you're getting people who are just like digging in.
273
Maybe they just went to class and they studied that issue and they want to work it out in, you know, over coffee.
274
They want to talk through it and see what they really think.
275
You know, it's different.
276
Yeah.
277
Interesting.
278
OK.
279
OK, so same situation, but just two different people here.
280
Right.
281
So I'll start us out.
282
I was listening to a podcast about climate change that was pretty eye opening.
283
Oh, interesting.
284
So what'd they say?
285
Well, they were saying that destructive storms have become more intense and frequent because of global warming.
286
I didn't realize that was an effect. Did you?
287
I guess that makes sense.
288
I hadn't really thought about it.
289
I hadn't either.
290
So I started looking into it more.
291
I was reading about pollution not long ago, but I know there's a lot I don't know.
292
So what else have you found out lately?
293
Nice.
294
So I love how this conversation is opening up
295
and it all like that's the difference in the reaction where instead of like, oh, uh-huh, you were like, oh, interesting.
296
What did they say?
297
And from that, I'm like, oh, perfect.
298
We're going to talk about this.
299
And I'll continue to gauge as it goes because you might want to talk about it for a little bit, but then change the subject, or we might both be really interested and want to dive deep.
300
Right.
301
We just did an episode about nerding out and geeking out, right?
302
There are people that are going to want to talk about any given topic for hours at a time.
303
And there are some people that will entertain it for a few minutes
304
and then they want to move on to their weekend or something else.
305
Nothing's better or worse.
306
It's just, it's just personalities.
307
Yeah.
308
Also the other might depend on their mood.
309
How much sleep do they get?
310
Are they just kind of in the zone of wanting to have a deep conversation? For sure.
311
And I think the piece that we need to include here is having input.
312
So I know there's something going on
313
that was just in the news this week about climate change that now they're looking to, have you seen this?
314
They're looking to engineer brightening clouds where they want to shoot
315
moisture up into the clouds to try to mitigate the effects of global warming, like the warming temperature on Earth.
316
Have you seen this?
317
It's brand new.
318
They just tried it out.
319
Yeah.
320
So having that input, this is how these conversations could start is by getting this input podcasts, newspapers, TV shows, the news, right?
321
You could have this conversation instead of, oh, they were saying destructive.
322
You're like, they were saying that they're shooting moisture into the clouds.
323
They're like, wow, that's interesting.
324
It sounds wild.
325
I feel like it seems like, I'm not sure if it's going to work, but I guess the signs initially were pretty good from what I heard on the podcast.
326
So any takeaway here, Aubrey, we've got a lot of interesting stuff that came out today.
327
Yes, for sure.
328
And I think the bottom line is when tackling a controversial topic, keep in mind that you must gauge the interest in your conversation partner, right?
329
And be open-minded to their opinion, but also recognize like it's going to be sort of constantly reading the room, gauging there so that you can pivot away if needed.
330
Yes, I love it.
331
And then keep in mind that I think it's important what we also talked about.
332
You're right.
333
Sometimes people are more likely to talk about divisive issues in certain parts of the country
334
or in certain mind states that they're in during the day.
335
But I think it's true that some regions consider it impolite
336
and threatening to even bring up these topics and others consider it fair game.
337
This is how things get discussed.
338
It's fair game.
339
So think about where you are in the world and it'll be different.
340
Yeah.
341
That's a very good point.
342
Oh, so interesting.
343
There's a lot here today.
344
I'm excited for you guys to potentially have these conversations.
345
So follow these tips to gauge interest, read the room,
346
and hopefully you'll be able to have people in your life who also want to dive deep into these interesting topics.
347
Well, super interesting guys.
348
If you love our style, hit follow on the show, or if you're over on YouTube, hit subscribe.
349
All right, Aubrey, talk to you very soon.
350
Awesome.
351
See you next time.
352
Bye.
353
All right, Michelle, I loved those role plays.
354
One where the other person is interested and one where they're clearly not and you need to pivot to a new topic.
355
Yes, exactly.
356
And I mean, this is really such an important skill to just save the connection.
357
So we can eliminate that awkward feeling,
358
any awkwardness and avoid offending by reading those physical and verbal cues and pivoting to a new topic if that's needed.
359
Exactly.
360
So guys, I'm excited for you to practice these skills in your next conversation.
361
this is inevitable.
362
This happens to everyone and we need to know how to just change the topic, pivot.
363
And we need the phrases to do that.
364
We also want to make sure that you don't miss part one and two of this series.
365
So All Ears English 2673 was conversation coaching part one, how long should small talk be?

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
