information (Brown, 1994; Burns
& Joyce, 1997)

4. Telling Story
A useful skill in English is
to be able to tell a
story or an anecdote.
Anecdotes are short
stories about something
that happened to you or
to someone you know.

5. How to tell
your story
• First of all, your story
should be quite short. Try
to keep it grammatically
simple as well, so that it
is easy to follow.
• Make it easy for the
listener to understand by
using sequencing and
linking words:

6. 1. Sequencing words
These words show the chronological
sequence of events.
• First of all, I (packed my suitcase)
Secondly, I …. (made sure I had all
my documents)
Previously (before that) ….. I
changed some money.
Then… I (called a taxi for the
airport)
Later (on)… (when we were stuck in
traffic, I realised…)
But before al that… (I had double
checked my reservation)

7. 2. Linking words
Use these words to link your ideas
for the listener. Linking Word can
be used to show reason, result,
contrasting information, additional
information, and to summarize.
Example :
I booked a flight because….
As a result, I was late…
Although I had a reservation, I
hadn't checked the airport name.
I made sure I had an up-to-date
passport and I also took along my
driving licence.
