💬 Scenario: The Sales Report

B2 Speaker (Panic) "The sales went up... sorry, I mean down. No wait, they went up but slowly. Sorry, my English is bad."
(Apologizing breaks confidence and flow.)
C1 Speaker (Reformulation) "The sales skyrocketed... or rather, they experienced a steady, robust climb."
(Uses "or rather" to refine the word "skyrocketed" into something more accurate, without stopping.)
C1 Speaker (Clarification) "The data is complicated... to put it another way, it requires careful interpretation."

"...or to be more precise, it was exceptional."
2. Clarification (Simplifying) ការបកស្រាយ
Use when you realize you are being unclear.
"...in other words, we need to start over."
3. Backtracking (Restarting) ការកែសម្រួល
Use when you lose your train of thought.
"...actually, let me rephrase that."
