The Power of Silence
ការប្រើប្រាស់ការផ្អាកក្នុងឃ្លា
🎯 Objective / គោលបំណង:
Stop speaking too fast. Use Chunking (groups of words) and Pauses to create authority.
💬 Scenario: The Keynote Speech
The Nervous Speaker (No Pauses)
"Wearechangingdirectionbecausethemarketisshiftingandweneedtoadaptquickly."
(Fast, breathless, lacks confidence.)
The C1 Leader (Chunked)
"We are changing direction. //"
"Why? //"
"Because the market / is shifting."
Technique: Short sentences + Dramatic pauses.
Interactive Chunking
Click a word to insert a Pause (//) after it. Listen to the difference.

Key Concepts
1. Thought Groups ការបែងចែកក្រុមគំនិត
We don't speak word-by-word. We speak in "idea blocks".
Incorrect: "I... went... to... the... store."
Correct: "I went to the store / to buy milk."
Incorrect: "I... went... to... the... store."
Correct: "I went to the store / to buy milk."
2. The Rhetorical Pause ការផ្អាកដើម្បីសង្កត់ន័យ
Pausing before a key word makes the listener wait for it. This builds suspense.
"The solution is... // innovation."
"The solution is... // innovation."
