Rumus Chunking: Hafalkan 1 frasa secara kesuluruhan = 1 unit
Contoh: "Let me get back to you on that" (7 kata = 1 chunk)
Struktur: Opinion + Connector + Reason
Pro chunks:
"That's a fair point, however..."
"I see where you're coming from"
Kenapa diperlukan hal ini untuk latihan speaking Inggris? Otak tidak overload mencari kata satu-persatu. Frasa muncul secara otomatis seperti laykanya native. Cara percaya diri akan muncul dikarenakan "sudah memahami keseluruhan makna" bukan "menerjemahkan kata dari nol".
"Could we circle back to that later?"
"I totally agree, and I'd add..."
