Storytelling tips (take notes on your handbook):

TIPS

• Take time to think about the question and the story before you start talking. 
• Use narrative tenses – past simple, past continuous, and present perfect.
• Use adjectives and adverbs to make the story interesting.
• Use sequencing words: first of all, then, after that, later on, finally, in the end ...
• Give your story an introduction. Say briefly what your story is about.
• Give the background to your story. Say when and where it took place and what you were doing at that time.
• Say what happened step by step. Use words like so, because and although to connect the actions until you reach the end of the story.
• Finish your story or anecdote by saying why it is important to you or why you remember it.
