Tell Me a Story

WRAP UP

A. Listen to the dialog and fill in the blanks.

Script
A : Hey, have you ever thought about what makes a good story?
B : Hmm... Well, I believe a strong opening is crucial. You need to grab the listener’s attention right from the start.
A : That’s a good point. The first few sentences can make or break a story. You need to set the stage for what’s to come.
B : Right. And using vivid language is another key aspect. Descriptive words and phrases help to bring the story to life.
A : That’s true. When you paint a vivid picture in the listener’s mind, it creates a stronger connection. It makes the story more memorable as well.
B : It’s also important to keep the listener engaged throughout the story. By employing suspense, humor, or other techniques, you can keep the listener interested.
A : Oh, and a satisfying conclusion is crucial. The ending should wrap up all loose ends and leave the listener feeling satisfied.
B : Yes, I love a well-crafted ending! It leaves me with a sense of closure and fulfillment.
A : So, it seems that we agree on a lot of points. A good story should start with a strong opening, use vivid language, keep the listener engaged, and end with a satisfying conclusion.
B : Precisely.
