FILLER WORDS, how to fill your speaking properly
"well, I used to go shopping in this area with my mum when I was younger, and err... there were few mandems eh getting battered by bunch of lunatics you know then shout out "green army! green army!". do you know what, it was like a street justice! mobs everywhere you know. but umm... now people ended up knackered to act sort of umm... cheeky just because racial differences"
"tau gak, tadi gue jalan-jalan nih ke Kota Tua. terus gue liat ada yang jualan pernak-pernik gitulah, nah, abis itu gue liat ada ibu-ibu diteriakin eS E N S O R "woy copet, copet! itu ibu copet!". nah, yang diteriakin itu sebenarnya anu, dia sih justru abis nolongin cewek yang tasnya dijambret. eh, cuma sayangnya aja si cewek nggak liat yang jambret siapa, langsung panik gitu nuduh si ibu-ibu"
In real spoken language, people are used to say tons of pause words as you see the bolded words at the passage above, called FILLERS. It is never taught in any language course due to its nature is beyond language, it is linguistics. If you learn culture, filler words allow ones to think the next vocabs, phrases, or expressions what ones want to say spontaneously without giving impressions or body language, only a temporary fill in the next word, and it really does exist on real life globally as a part of cultural linguistic form.
In proper English, especially in IELTS test or any speaking exam, fillers should be avoided because it sounds common and the usage mostly due to lack of education on the issue. Nevertheless, in formal situation some notable educated people sometimes use fillers as well spontaneously. Although most fillers do not seem to be necessary and sometimes meaningless, but it actually has a meaning to stress the full meaning of the words you say. That is why fillers have been a common usage for native speakers but it is a trick for you to speak foreign language naturally. In British English for instance, using fillers with contraction also common. For example the word "nahmean" or sometimes spoken "dyahmean" instead of "do you know what I mean". To use this filler makes you sound more naturally.
It is, however, I must warn you that it is not proper English. Do not use filler words on formal situation, on speaking exam, on writing, if it necessary, absolutely do not! It is only required in natural informal situation when you mark in conversation a pause to think without giving the impression.
