Welcome to Slow English Daily, the podcast where you learn English by listening to slow, clear and simple spoken English. This is episode sixteen, and today we talk about telling a story in English.
Nobody becomes your friend because you can order coffee. People become your friends when you tell them a story and they laugh. In this episode you will learn the ten past verbs that cover almost any story about your life, how to open a story, the "I was doing something when..." structure that is the engine of spoken English, the connecting words that hold a story together, how to end cleanly, and how to react like a native speaker when somebody tells you a story.
Key phrases from this episode: You'll never guess what happened. I was waiting for the train when... So, then, suddenly, anyway, in the end. It turned out... And that was it, really. No way. What happened then?
This is English listening practice for ESL and EFL learners at A2 and B1 level. Everything is spoken slowly, in simple words. New episodes every week.
