What that means ?
Telling a Story
How to start
Traditional stories often start with the phrase "Once upon a
time". However, if you are going to tell your story after
someone else has already spoken, you can say something
like:
That reminds me!
Funny you should say that. Did I ever tell you about…
Hearing your story reminds me of when…
Something similar happened to me…
.How to tell your story
First of all, your story should be quite short. Try to keep it
grammatically simple as well, so that it is easy to follow.
Make it easy for the listener to understand by using
sequencing and linking words:
Sequencing words
These words show the chronological sequence of events.
First of all, I (packed my suitcase)
Secondly, I …. (made sure I had all my documents)
Previously (before that) ….. I changed some money.
Then… I (called a taxi for the airport)
Later (on)… (when we were stuck in traffic, I realised…)
But before all that… (I had double checked my reservation)
Finally… (I arrived at the wrong check-in desk at the wrong airport for
a flight that didn't go until the next day)
Linking words
Use these words to link your ideas for the listener.
Linking words can be used to show reason, result,
contrasting information, additional information, and to
summarise.
I booked a flight because….
As a result, I was late…
Although I had a reservation, I hadn't checked the airport
name.
I made sure I had an up-to-date passport and I also took
along my driving licence.
In short, I had made a complete mess of the
holiday.However, we generally use past forms to talk
about past events. If you tell your story in chronological
order, you can use the past simple:
Tense
However, we generally use past forms to talk about past events. If you
tell your story in chronological order, you can use the past simple:
I double checked my reservation. I packed my suitcase, and then I
called a taxi.
Use the past continuous to describe activities in progress at the
time of your story, or to describe the background.
The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. We were driving
along the motorway quite steadily until we suddenly saw in front of
us the warning lights to slow down. We were heading towards a
huge tailback.
Sometimes, you might want to avoid telling your story as one
chronological event after the other. You can use the past perfect
(simple and continuous) to add more interest to your story by
talking about events that happened before the events in your story:
I double checked my reservation, which I had made three days
previously.
I wanted to visit some friends who had been living in France for the
last five years.
This is Where I’m Going
means future time
Predictions/statements of fact
The auxiliary verb( will + V or Be going to +V )is used in making
predictions or simple statements of fact about the future.
You won't pass your exams if you don't start working harder.
Will she be back in school tomorrow ?
In the 2016 all students will have their own computers in school .
he ’s going to play with Real Madrid club .
she ’s going to work for 2 hours .
Intentions
The auxiliary verb (going to +V )is used in talking about intentions.
(An intention is a plan for the future that you have already thought
about.)
• We're going to buy a new car next month.
• I'm going to work in a bank when I leave school.
• In the new year I'm going to stop eating so much junk.
• He's not going to go to the dance. He's got too much work
