Well it happened a few years ago. I was living in a house with my parents. One evening I had to prepare myself for an examination at school. I was working in the basement at my table when my parents went to the city to go shopping. Suddenly, I heard steps on the floor above me. I knew there was actually nobody in the house beside me. What could I do? I was terribly frightened because I knew that it must be a burglar(夜贼). We had the windows open to air the room, so it must be a burglar. What could I do? I remembered that I had a toy gun in my cupboard（壁橱）, so I decided to take the toy gun and go upstairs. Well, I took the toy gun, went out of my room, and shouted as if there was another person, “George, take the dog and go outside.” On my way upstairs, I turned on lights. The burglar must have heard me, and he rushed out of the window the way he came in. Well, I was relieved（放下心来）, and then I tried to phone my parents, but I was so terribly frightened that I wasnt able to dial the number.Conversational Tips on How to tell a story (share your experience with others) :How to start your story (故事的开头句型):l Did I ever tell you about the time I ?l That reminds me of the time I l vFunny you should mention that, because something similar happened to me once How to make your story back to the point(讲故事扯远时,言归正传的句型):l Anywayl As I was saying, l To get back to the story, How to make a quick end of your story(跳过无关紧要的细节, 快点结束故事所用的句型 ):l To make a long story short, l Anyway, what happened in the end was this How to create suspense when telling a story (讲故事制造悬念的技巧):If you want to sayYoud better sayHe fell into the river.What happened to him was that he fell into the river.He opened the letter.What he did was open the letter.Let the listeners guess what would happen next(让听众猜想下一步将要发生什么):l You can guess what he felt like.l What do you think I/he did?l Youll never guess what happened next.l Imagine my surprise when he Conversational Tips on What to say when listening to a storyHow to show your sympathy (同情) when listening to a story:l How unfortunate! （太不幸了！）l Thats a pity! / What a pity! （真可惜！）l Thats too bad! （糟糕透了！）l What bad luck! （运气真不好！）l Thats a shame. （真遗憾！/ 真糟糕！）l Poor thing!
