In this lesson, you can learn how to tell a story in English.
Stories are powerful. When you meet someone new, go to a job interview or take a speaking exam like IELTS, you need to tell stories, whether you realise that’s what you’re doing or not. Don't forget to write your story in the comments and we will give you feedback!

Becoming a better storyteller will make you a more convincing speaker. People are attracted to good stories—it’s a fundamental part of being human. Learning how to tell better stories in English can help you become a more effective English speaker, and a better communicator generally.
