Storytelling

Have you ever had to improvise at a meeting, while giving a presentation or to entertain visitors?

This is something that is a walk in the park in your native language but how about in English?

Perhaps you have your own repertoire of tried and tested anecdotes or stories but let's imagine you have to improvise.

First of all, we will need some connectors, such as:-

• AT FIRST
• IN THE END
• JUST THEN
• HOWEVER
• WHEN
• SUDDENLY
• BECAUSE OF THIS
• EVENTUALLY
• IN ORDER TO
• BUT SOON
• SO 
• LATER
• FINALLY

So let's put this into practice, take a look at the photo below and try to tell an imaginary story/ancedote using the pictures on the dice and at least five of these connectors.

Now think about if your story has:-

1. An introduction
2. Background (context)
3. A problem or main event
4. The resolution or continuation
5. A final comment or conclusion

Feel free to leave your stories or anecdotes in the comments below!
