Thank you so much all of you for your all good lessons. It improved me more to write a story... May you all make such a nice and helpful video to improve our writing and speaking english, writing stories and composition and about hobbies, etc. next time and everyday. Gina your speaking voice was really very nice... I liked it.
Nice video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Seyrooklyn Salient Supremacy (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off product for overcoming the symptoms of multiple sclerosis without the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got amazing results with it.
At university, I have a group of best friends. We usually party together on special occasions. Last month was Mai's birthday, she is one of my friends. So we had a barbecue in Mai's garden. It was an awesome afternoon. We met at 2 PM. Then, we assigned each other to do the preparations for the party such as: decorating, buying food and cooking, etc. As a result, the food was really delicious. But I was most interested in gift-giving. Everyone prepared lovely gifts for Mai and hope she would be surprised. I also gave her a wool scaft that I knitted myself. I spent two months making it. Suddenly, I found out I brought the wrong bag which held my gift. I confused about this mistake. Then, I told Mai this matter and went back home to get the gift. Fortunately, my house is not too far from Mai's. So I quickly went back to the party. I think, here is an experience of carefulness. Hope you fixing my mistakes!
Nice, Thao! You wrote an excellent paragraph. Nice job! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...delicious, but I was most interested in gift-giving,' not, '...delicious. But I was most interested in gift-giving.' 2) '...lovely gifts for Mai and hoped she would...' not, 'hope.' 3) '...a wool scarf,' not, 'scaft.' Hope this helps you!
This is not just how to tell a story in English, but in all languages. I wish I could see this earlier. Very helpful content, which makes me confident next time I tell someone my experience. BTW, Gina is really charming, other guys are also gentlemen. I am starting to like England.
I appreciate your teaching method because it's understandable. I was conducting the storytelling from beneficiaries. Now, I understand that structure and goal are very important when conducting storytelling. Many thanks to all of you.
Thank all three teachers, teaching me the structure of the story and helping me build my own story. Here's below my practice and hope I could get some advice to correct it. Million thanks! Four years ago, in a warm winter, I traveled to the beautiful beach island, Fu Guo Island, in Vietnam with my friend. I had a chance to go because my friend invited me and he said he hadn’t taken a long break for years in order to make money. Therefore, he let me prepare a traveling plan, and make sure we could catch the plane. It was the first time I organized everything. To be honest, I was nervous. However, once I thought of the beautiful beach in front of me, I was so excited to work on it and thought it was perfect for everything without double-check. As we arrived at the airport, reaching the desk to check in, the most embarrassing thing happened. I booked the wrong date of tickets. The departure date was for tomorrow! It was made me hot, and I was in a devil of a hole. My friend didn’t blame me on the scene, but he might facepalm and thought I was not a careful person. After an awkwardly long silence, I rebooked departure online tickets. I bear the ticket loss and apologized to him. Finally, we arrived at the beautiful island by domestic plane from Ho Chi Ming city. We enjoyed the yummy seafood, snorkeling trip, night fishing, etc. Actually, after returning, he was once angry with me because of the mistake of tickets. It was an unpleasant quarrel. However, I still felt grateful to him because he didn’t blame me and ruin the atmosphere during the trip.
Thanks for sharing your story! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) '...plan, and made sure we could...' not, 'make.' 2) 'It was the first time I had organized everything,' not, 'It was the first time I organized everything.' 3) '...without double-checking,' not, 'double-check.' Hope this helps you!
Hi there, I really appreciate your effort and time. From now on I'll start to writing my own story . What a wonderful youtub teachers you are !!! Best regards !
I like Gina's voice, she is so nice! All lessons are very helpful, thank you so much for that! Negotiation scene, presentation in English and much much others...Thank you
Creative thinking solved my team's problem. In the last morning Wednesday, my team was preparing the elecial equiment for the presentations in class. It is only a few minutes left before we started. "Oops!". Suddenly, we fell in panic stress. But just a few minutes later, I have an idea to deal this situation. That was using the White board market to draw the idea on the board. This can help us to present the presentation clealier. We had some trouble when we started. We gotter used it later. At the end, we also finished presenting our project. Though, it didn't look so good, at least we had a great experience. With my unusual creative thinking, we went through it successully and saved the problem of my team today.
Nice story, Thanh. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'Last Wednesday morning...' not, 'In the last morning Wednesday...' 2) 'electrical equipment,' not, 'elecial'. 3) 'There were only a few minutes until we had to start,' not, 'It is only a few minutes left before we started'. Hope this helps you!
true to be told this the kind of channel i have been looking for to improve my fluency in english, i want to tell you that you are doing a great job, please keep blessing us with this kind of lesson, Gob bless you all
Thanks for the video. You three, presenters, are bloody brilliant! That's my story - the best possible way to thank you for your hard work! I've recently had an interesting experience that happened to me. I was driving to Kiev in my truck,carrying lots of goods to a shop. In the city, one traffic warden stopped me. Because having a number plate coming from a different city isn't really a reason for stopping a driver, he started finding one. Within a few minutes later, he inspected my driving licence, made sure I had a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. He asked me for a MOT test as well as for a paper from hospital where 'hasn't drunk alcohol and hasn't got any in the blood' sign had to be. Having found nothing suspicious, he went again to the rear of the last trailer of the truck of mine. I must admit that it was snowing heavily, so that it turned out that the number plate there was covered with snow. Seeing this, he took a camera out of his pocket and took a photo of it. There were a smile on his face at last. Yeah, he did find a misdemeanor that could be noticed on the other number plates on all the roads in Kiev that afternoon as well! He went again to his police car and I followed him, clearing the snow up. 'why have you got an unreadable plate?ha?' he asked. 'I beg your pardon, sir. What do you mean by unreadable? Everything is readable' I replied. 'ahah! I know you've cleared up the mess,but I've already taken a photo!' he said, showing me a picture. 'that's not my car. I can't see any numbers or letters there! ' I said seriously , laughing inside. ' what do you mean - it's not your? Look. Here they are, all the numbers and letters.. ' said the warden in a strange voice. ' well then, if they are there and, as you've just said, you can read them, you can identified the vehicle by that number plate on your photo,can't you? ' I said, celebrating my victory without him noticing this. ' here you are' he said, mumbling to himself something impossible for me to understand.
The topic of the story could be rather complicated, I'm sorry for this. It's because of the different behaviours of traffic wardens, here in Ukraine and there, in the UK. Anyway, for everybody who speaks Russian, here you are, the original : Недавно ездил на камазе в Татарстан, в городе остановил меня тамошний гибддэшник. Так как проезд на авто с номерами чужого региона не является основанием для остановки, он начал искать причину. Несколько минут он проверял документы, аптечку, огнетушитель, требовал от меня талон техосмотра, справку от врача, что я трезвый, после чего пошел осматривать автопоезд сзади. А надо сказать, в этот день шел снег, поэтому задние номера прицепа и камаза, как оказалось, были наглухо закрыты снегом. Увидев это, доблестный гибддэшник республики Татарстан вытащил фотоаппарат и сделал несколько фотографий. Ну нашёл ведь. Пока я шел за ним, я рукой очистил номера от снега. - Почему у Вас номера не читаемы,- строго спросил он. - Как,-говорю, - все читаемо. - Это ты только, что стер снег, а у меня есть фотофиксация, - сказав это, он показывает мне фотографию. - Это не моя машина на фотографии,- отвечаю я, - номеров то не видно. - Как не твоя, вон на фотке видны буквы под снегом, - говорит. - Ну раз видны, - отвечаю, - значит номера всё же читаемы? Пробурчав что-то, вернул мне документы...
Thanks for watching and sharing this story, Alik! You used some excellent structures! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'Within a few minutes,' or, 'A few minutes later,' not, 'Within a few minutes later'. 2) '...he inspected my driving license and made sure I had a...' not, '...inspected my driving licence, made sure I had a'. 3) '...paper from a hospital where the 'hasn't drunk alcohol and hasn't got any in the blood' signature had to be,' not, '...paper from hospital where 'hasn't drunk alcohol and hasn't got any in the blood' sign had to be'. Hope this helps you, great job!
thank you very much, Iam Mozambican, here Iam live at Chokwe Distrit, Iam always watching OXFORD ONLINE ENGLISH on RUclips, then iam increasing too much my vocabulary and pronunciation in different lessons you give . finnaly I would like one day, to have direct ( online) lesson so it means that at the same time does it take part.
I was in São Paulo in 2015. It was a crazy time in my life. I get off my job in my hometown and i went to there to try make a life as an artist. I did some classes of painting, i tried new methods and i searched for a way to become a professional artist. It's not so easy like i imagined. I spend almost all my money at these days, and i didn't sell any painting. Today i look back with a good feeling. Lots of the knowledge about art that i learned at these times, i use now. I moved to another place and here i teach painting and sell some art that help me with my expenses.
Thanks for sharing your answer, Petros! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) If you stop working for a particular employer, you want to say: 'I quit my job in my hometown,' or, 'I left my job...' or, if it was your employer's decision, you could say: 'I was fired from my job'. 2) '...there to try to make a life,' not, '... there to try make a life'. 3) 'It was not so easy...I spent almost all...' not, 'It's not so easy...I spend almost all...'. Hope this is useful for you!
You are teaching good and I am very fascinating to see your video.. tomorrow i should tell my own story ..definitely tOmorrow will do my best ...before that I was terrified to comment now I broke that
When I was a teenager, I was very shy by nature. I hated mixing with other boys in my village and at my school. I always loved sitting or standing alone anywhere I liked. I could never talk to girls looking at their faces. This, 60% of my shyness, somehow disappeared when I had a great fever in the summer vacation in July. To tell you the truth, I thanked God for all that transformation in me, i.e for making me a less shy person now.
The very valuable video, with basics of writing the story To start, the middle, the goal, tension, end with reciprocation Are all explained in a very attractive manner /with appreciation
Wow wonderful ,under your instructions of storytelling ,I made a story easily , really you guys gave amazing tips. I appreciate your teaching method that is simple and slowly.
When I was a kid, I remember getting into my father's car with my brother to play. I enjoyed playing with the steering wheel and buttons on the dashboard. It was fun because it was a real car. Playing cheerfully, I saw a red button near the steering wheel, so I pushed it, and suddenly I heard a weird sound. I had started the engine, but I wasn't aware of the danger. The Beetle Volkswagen was vibrating, and I was still playing with the steering wheel. My brother was behind me in the back seat, and he was saying something to me, but I honestly don't remember what. Then I looked through the window to my father and he was running in my direction. He looked a little worried. If my father hadn't reached the car on time, perhaps I wouldn't be right now here telling my story. I think that was my first driving lesson with my father. It was fun and dangerous at the same time.
I used to go abroad many times. In each country, I also had a problem. One time, I didn’t get out a metro and must ask police to help me. Another time, I couldn’t catch the taxi to go to airport to come back home but luckily, I met a kind guy and he took me to the airport on time. I think traveling alone will make us have many experiences and we will always remember that memories.
Thanks for sharing another good answer, +mo NGUYEN. Here are a few corrections: 1) '...I didn't get out to the metro and had to ask the police to help me,' not, 'I didn’t get out a metro and must ask police to help me'. 2) '...taxi to go to the airport,' not, '...taxi to go to airport'. 3) '...always remember those memories,' not, 'that'. Hope this helps you!

Nice story, Fouzia! Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...hot in Marrakech. My daughter and I decided to...' not, '...hot in Marrakech we have decided my daugther and me to...'. 2) '...book a hotel downtown. I...' not, '...book a hôtel in downtown,i...'. 3) 'I was obviously focused on the price and it was the cheapest so...' not, 'i obviosly focused on the price ,it was the sheapest then...'. Hope this is useful for you!
Hello. Thanks for the lesson. This is a true story. It happened many years ago, when I was a University student. I lived on the campus, and in every room of our dormitory there lived two students. Once in the dead of night, the whole dormitory had been awakened by awful screamings and yellings.There was a deep terror and a great fear in those howls. Terrified, we gathered at the door of the dark room, where those terrible sounds were coming from.We could make out only one word: " A snake!.. A snake!.." Nobody could understand anything. A snake? What snake? How could it be? Snake in the middle of the winter in the snowbound Saint-Petersburg? Somebody shouted : " Turn on the light!" Well, the light was turned on, and everyone saw two scared girls, standing on their beds. And between those beds, there was a twisted rag, which the girls used for washing the floor, and left it there, obviously, in a hurry to go out. The rag looked like a snake, and, sure enough, when their bare feet touched it in the darkness, it felt like a snake, either!
I am living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. About nearly 20 years ago, I returned to my homeland on Tet's holiday times in northern Vietnam. I planned a trip to Halong Bay with three friends of mine. We went to a bus station to catch a bus to Quang Ninh province where Ha Long Bay is located. Along the journey I was car sick, eventually, we reached our destination. We took a tour around the bay and watched music performances on the water screen. In the evening, we met some of my friends' old students (they taught them to prepare for a university entrance examination some years before). They were very hospitable and still called them "teachers". They took us to a restaurant and then a disco club. The following day, they took us across the border into China. It was the first time I went to a foreign country. I bought some items as a souvenir for myself and some of my friends. Everything was smooth and exciting until we came back on the third day. We took a ship instead of a bus as a new experience. Unfortunately, the ship was broken down right on the sea. We all were very scared. We had to wait in nervous for almost an hour to mend the engine. In the end, we reached our home but discovered that we had lost our camera which recorded beautiful, dramatic sightseeings and pictures of us. We were so sad and regretted it. It is a memorable adventure that I should remember all my life because it made our friendship closer. Besides, we really feel the emotion and enthusiasm of the old students (the teacher-student bond and the respect of students to the teacher are special characteristics of Vietnamese culture), the beauty of Ha Long Bay, and quite sad for the missed camera.
Hi Nguyen. Thanks for sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) 'About 20 years ago...' or, 'Nearly 20 years ago...' not, 'About nearly 20 years ago...' 2) '...homeland during the Tet holiday...' not, '...homeland on Tet's holiday times...' 3) 'It was the first time I had been to a foreign country...' not, 'It was the first time I went to a foreign country...' Hope this helps you!

It was 12 o'clock and I was sleeping in my room.I had my exams the following day, so it was essential to get a good night's sleep. Suddenly, I saw somebody hiding in the curtains and giggling quietly! I became absolutely terrified.I've read scary stories and seen horror films for a lot of years, where ghosts, monsters and zombies lived, but I've never thought that they really exist.But, in the end, I became braver and I decided to take a look.Feeling quite scared, I opened the curtain and saw... my sister-in-law hiding there! ''You've found me!Now it's my turn to look for you.Hide!''she said, feeling joyful.I was so relieved that it was just a relative hiding, not somebody somebody from horror films!
It was an amazing course. I was able to hear English in British language. that spoke so clearly and slowly then I could understand 75 percent and also I learn how to tell the story for my friends. on top of it all. I found a nice English training group on youtube. actually, they are the very warm group. I have decided to watch their podcast 2 time each week. after hearing putting a long comment. I hope someone would be to rewrite and correct my mistakes in the comment.
Nice answer, Reza. Here are a few corrections for you: 1) 'They spoke so clearly...' not, 'that'. 2) '...I learned how to tell a story for my friends,' not, '...I learn how to tell the story for my friends'. 3) '2 times each week,' not, '2 time each week'. Hope this helps!
I consider myself as one of the poorest individuals to go all the way to finishing school. I was raised by a single mum, a typical villager in the most profound and inner villages in Zambia. There is no person in Zambia today who is poorer than I used to be who can go to school on self-sponsorship. We were in the village and our livelihood was dependent upon subsistence farming. I was very bright in school and as such, mum one day said; I did not take you to school to finish (or others may say reach grade 12) but to just learn how to write a letter in our native language. In the nutshell, she never wanted me to proceed with my education because of money woes. Being a very determined person, myself, I organised the required examination fees and paid, wrote the examinations and passed with flying colours. Secondary education was tough, but more traumatising was senior secondary. Mum one day said, "John, you do not have a father to pay for you." When we received the acceptance letter for senior secondary, she asked, "John you are now a grown-up person, where do you think we will be able to find all these monies? I pinpointed at the blueprints and today, the rest is history because three years later, I finished my grade twelve. Courage, determination, burning desire, unwavering Motivation will help you to achieve anything you desire in life. I am heading high in my life, what about you?
Nice, John! Thanks for sharing. You used some excellent phrases and vocabulary! Here are a few corrections for your story: 1) '...mum one day said: "I did not...' not, '...mum one day said; I did not...'. 2) 'In a nutshell...' not 'the'. 3) '...to find all of this money,' not, '...to find all these monies'. Hope this helps you!
I am from India and I think it was summer holidays when I was studying 5th class, after finishing my final exams I went to the my grandparents house which is located near countryside. It is a beautiful place to visit. In these days one day cousin and me went to the park which was near by my grandmother house, while we were playing the football suddenly a bull enter into the park, all people those were sitting in the garden they ran away from that place, but we were frightened and unable to run quickly and the bull hit us on our back as we both fell down on the ground and we were shouting for help . Two park watchmen were ran to us very quickly nd save use from severe injuries and I can say it was very bad story in my life.
Thanks for sharing, Sandeep! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) What does '5th class' mean? Do you mean 'studying in 5th grade'? 2) '...I went to my grandparents' house,' not, '...I went to the my grandparents house'. 3) '...located near the countryside,' not, '...located near countryside'. Hope this helps you!
Last spring I decided to travel to Egypt where I can reunion with my family. Later on, I felt I would love to stay longer with my niece and nephew, and a couple of weeks stretched to become months. I don't know how much time has passed already, but I'm sure that it flies with good company. It's been 4 months or so and every day has turned into bliss in here.
Sooner than I expected I started running out of my pocket money as my staying wasn't planned to be longer at first, so I had to find a job and that's what I actually did. I'd applied for several positions and had attended many interviews until I found one that fits my circumstances. However, I'm still getting adapted but things are going well for now.
Nice response! Here is one tip to help make your response even better: '...where I could reunite with my family,' not, '...where I can reunion with my family.' Hope this is useful for you!
Thank you very much. My speaking exams will be conducted by next week. I was worried how I would do. After watching your video, I gained my confidence and have improved my speaking skill. Thanks a lot.
Last Winter, I went to Qamishlo with my friend, Ahmed, by bus. It was a rainy day. We arrived at 9 a.m. When we get off the bus, we saw three beautiful girls wearing red dresses and looking like princess. Ahmed right away fell in love with one of them and decided to make a conversation with her, so he did that. At the time, I wasn't so brave to go and talk to strange checks, so I was amazed and surprised by Ahmed's courage and bravery.
Thank you so much all of you for your all good lessons. It improved me more to write a story... May you all make such a nice and helpful video to improve our writing and speaking english, writing stories and composition and about hobbies, etc. next time and everyday. Gina your speaking voice was really very nice... I liked it.
Nice video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Seyrooklyn Salient Supremacy (do a google search)?

Four years ago, in a warm winter, I traveled to the beautiful beach island, Fu Guo Island, in Vietnam with my friend. I had a chance to go because my friend invited me and he said he hadn’t taken a long break for years in order to make money.
Therefore, he let me prepare a traveling plan, and make sure we could catch the plane.
It was the first time I organized everything. To be honest, I was nervous.
However, once I thought of the beautiful beach in front of me, I was so excited to work on it and thought it was perfect for everything without double-check.

Creative thinking solved my team's problem. In the last morning Wednesday, my team was preparing the elecial equiment for the presentations in class. It is only a few minutes left before we started. "Oops!". Suddenly, we fell in panic stress. But just a few minutes later, I have an idea to deal this situation. That was using the White board market to draw the idea on the board. This can help us to present the presentation clealier. We had some trouble when we started. We gotter used it later. At the end, we also finished presenting our project. Though, it didn't look so good, at least we had a great experience. With my unusual creative thinking, we went through it successully and saved the problem of my team today.
Nice story, Thanh. Here are some corrections for you:
1) 'Last Wednesday morning...' not, 'In the last morning Wednesday...'
2) 'electrical equipment,' not, 'elecial'.
3) 'There were only a few minutes until we had to start,' not, 'It is only a few minutes left before we started'.
Hope this helps you!

I've recently had an interesting experience that happened to me.
I was driving to Kiev in my truck,carrying lots of goods to a shop. In the city, one traffic warden stopped me. Because having a number plate coming from a different city isn't really a reason for stopping a driver, he started finding one.
Within a few minutes later, he inspected my driving licence, made sure I had a first
aid kit and a fire extinguisher. He asked me for a MOT test as well as for a paper from hospital where 'hasn't drunk alcohol and hasn't got any in the blood' sign had to be. Having found nothing suspicious, he went again to the rear of the last trailer of the truck of mine. I must admit that it was snowing heavily, so that it turned out that the number plate there was covered with snow. Seeing this, he took a camera out of his pocket and took a photo of it. There were a smile on his face at last. Yeah, he did find a misdemeanor that could be noticed on the other number plates on all the roads in Kiev that afternoon as well!

Everything is readable' I replied. 'ahah! I know you've cleared up the mess,but I've already taken a photo!' he said, showing me a picture.
'that's not my car. I can't see any numbers or letters there! ' I said seriously , laughing inside. ' what do you mean - it's not your? Look. Here they are, all the numbers and letters.. ' said the warden in a strange voice. ' well then, if they are there and, as you've just said, you can read them, you can identified the vehicle by that number plate on your photo,can't you? ' I said, celebrating my victory without him noticing this. ' here you are' he said, mumbling to himself something impossible for me to understand.
The topic of the story could be rather complicated, I'm sorry for this. It's because of the different behaviours of traffic wardens, here in Ukraine and there, in the UK. Anyway, for everybody who speaks Russian, here you are, the original :
Недавно ездил на камазе в Татарстан, в городе остановил меня тамошний гибддэшник. Так как проезд на авто с номерами чужого региона не является основанием для остановки, он начал искать причину. Несколько минут он проверял документы, аптечку, огнетушитель, требовал от меня талон техосмотра, справку от врача, что я трезвый, после чего пошел осматривать автопоезд сзади. А надо сказать, в этот день шел снег, поэтому задние номера прицепа и камаза, как оказалось, были наглухо закрыты снегом.
Увидев это, доблестный гибддэшник республики Татарстан вытащил фотоаппарат и сделал несколько фотографий. Ну нашёл ведь. Пока я шел за ним, я рукой очистил номера от снега.
- Почему у Вас номера не читаемы,- строго спросил он.
- Как,-говорю, - все читаемо.
- Это ты только, что стер снег, а у меня есть фотофиксация, - сказав это, он показывает мне фотографию.
- Это не моя машина на фотографии,- отвечаю я, - номеров то не видно.
- Как не твоя, вон на фотке видны буквы под снегом, - говорит.
- Ну раз видны, - отвечаю, - значит номера всё же читаемы?
Пробурчав что-то, вернул мне документы...
Thanks for watching and sharing this story, Alik! You used some excellent structures! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'Within a few minutes,' or, 'A few minutes later,' not, 'Within a few minutes later'.
2) '...he inspected my driving license and made sure I had a...' not, '...inspected my driving licence, made sure I had a'.
3) '...paper from a hospital where the 'hasn't drunk alcohol and hasn't got any in the blood' signature had to be,' not, '...paper from hospital where 'hasn't drunk alcohol and hasn't got any in the blood' sign had to be'.
Hope this helps you, great job!
thank you very much, Iam Mozambican, here Iam live at Chokwe Distrit, Iam always watching OXFORD ONLINE ENGLISH on RUclips, then iam increasing too much my vocabulary and pronunciation in different lessons you give . finnaly I would like one day, to have direct ( online) lesson so it means that at the same time does it take part.
I was in São Paulo in 2015. It was a crazy time in my life. I get off my job in my hometown and i went to there to try make a life as an artist. I did some classes of painting, i tried new methods and i searched for a way to become a professional artist. It's not so easy like i imagined. I spend almost all my money at these days, and i didn't sell any painting. Today i look back with a good feeling. Lots of the knowledge about art that i learned at these times, i use now. I moved to another place and here i teach painting and sell some art that help me with my expenses.
Thanks for sharing your answer, Petros! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) If you stop working for a particular employer, you want to say: 'I quit my job in my hometown,' or, 'I left my job...' or, if it was your employer's decision, you could say: 'I was fired from my job'.
2) '...there to try to make a life,' not, '... there to try make a life'.
3) 'It was not so easy...I spent almost all...' not, 'It's not so easy...I spend almost all...'.
Hope this is useful for you!
@@Oxfordonlineenglish1 Great tips! Thank you so much!
Very useful.Thank you Oxford Online English.
Thank you so much for this amazing lesson. Now, I know all the things that a good story needs.
Many Thanks for every lessons.
The teachers, who's in one place. Great
Thank you for helping people
You are teaching good and I am very fascinating to see your video.. tomorrow i should tell my own story ..definitely tOmorrow will do my best ...before that I was terrified to comment now I broke that
When I was a teenager, I was very shy by nature. I hated mixing with other boys in my village and at my school. I always loved sitting or standing alone anywhere I liked. I could never talk to girls looking at their faces. This, 60% of my shyness, somehow disappeared when I had a great fever in the summer vacation in July. To tell you the truth, I thanked God for all that transformation in me, i.e for making me a less shy person now.
Nice, Anit!

When I was a kid, I remember getting into my father's car with my brother to play.
I enjoyed playing with the steering wheel and buttons on the dashboard. It was fun because it was a real car.
Playing cheerfully, I saw a red button near the steering wheel, so I pushed it, and suddenly I heard a weird sound. I had started the engine, but I wasn't aware of the danger.
The Beetle Volkswagen was vibrating, and I was still playing with the steering wheel.
My brother was behind me in the back seat, and he was saying something to me, but I honestly don't remember what.
Then I looked through the window to my father and he was running in my direction. He looked a little worried.
If my father hadn't reached the car on time, perhaps I wouldn't be right now here telling my story.
I think that was my first driving lesson with my father. It was fun and dangerous at the same time.
Great story, Antonio! Thanks for sharing!
Nice piece of writing
Very helpful while writing a story.
I used to go abroad many times. In each country, I also had a problem. One time, I didn’t get out a metro and must ask police to help me. Another time, I couldn’t catch the taxi to go to airport to come back home but luckily, I met a kind guy and he took me to the airport on time. I think traveling alone will make us have many experiences and we will always remember that memories.
Thanks for sharing another good answer, +mo NGUYEN. Here are a few corrections:
1) '...I didn't get out to the metro and had to ask the police to help me,' not, 'I didn’t get out a metro and must ask police to help me'.
2) '...taxi to go to the airport,' not, '...taxi to go to airport'.
3) '...always remember those memories,' not, 'that'.
Hope this helps you!
Thank you brother
I learnt a lot. Thanks

Nice story, Fouzia! Here are some corrections for you:
1) '...hot in Marrakech. My daughter and I decided to...' not, '...hot in Marrakech we have decided my daugther and me to...'.
2) '...book a hotel downtown. I...' not, '...book a hôtel in downtown,i...'.
3) 'I was obviously focused on the price and it was the cheapest so...' not, 'i obviosly focused on the price ,it was the sheapest then...'.
Hope this is useful for you!
Hello. Thanks for the lesson. This is a true story. It happened many years ago, when I was a University student. I lived on the campus, and in every room of our dormitory there lived two students.
Once in the dead of night, the whole dormitory had been awakened by awful screamings and yellings.There was a deep terror and a great fear in those howls. Terrified, we gathered at the door of the dark room, where those terrible sounds were coming from.We could make out only one word: " A snake!.. A snake!.."
Nobody could understand anything. A snake? What snake? How could it be? Snake in the middle of the winter in the snowbound Saint-Petersburg? Somebody shouted : " Turn on the light!"
Well, the light was turned on, and everyone saw two scared girls, standing on their beds. And between those beds, there was a twisted rag, which the girls used for washing the floor, and left it there, obviously, in a hurry to go out.
The rag looked like a snake, and, sure enough, when their bare feet touched it in the darkness, it felt like a snake, either!
Great story, Anna! Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful thanks Ma'am & both guys lots of love from Pakistan multan 💕
You are really good in English
I am living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. About nearly 20 years ago, I returned to my homeland on Tet's holiday times in northern Vietnam. I planned a trip to Halong Bay with three friends of mine. We went to a bus station to catch a bus to Quang Ninh province where Ha Long Bay is located. Along the journey I was car sick, eventually, we reached our destination. We took a tour around the bay and watched music performances on the water screen. In the evening, we met some of my friends' old students (they taught them to prepare for a university entrance examination some years before). They were very hospitable and still called them "teachers". They took us to a restaurant and then a disco club. The following day, they took us across the border into China. It was the first time I went to a foreign country. I bought some items as a souvenir for myself and some of my friends. Everything was smooth and exciting until we came back on the third day. We took a ship instead of a bus as a new experience. Unfortunately, the ship was broken down right on the sea. We all were very scared. We had to wait in nervous for almost an hour to mend the engine. In the end, we reached our home but discovered that we had lost our camera which recorded beautiful, dramatic sightseeings and pictures of us. We were so sad and regretted it.
It is a memorable adventure that I should remember all my life because it made our friendship closer. Besides, we really feel the emotion and enthusiasm of the old students (the teacher-student bond and the respect of students to the teacher are special characteristics of Vietnamese culture), the beauty of Ha Long Bay, and quite sad for the missed camera.
Hi Nguyen. Thanks for sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) 'About 20 years ago...' or, 'Nearly 20 years ago...' not, 'About nearly 20 years ago...'
2) '...homeland during the Tet holiday...' not, '...homeland on Tet's holiday times...'
3) 'It was the first time I had been to a foreign country...' not, 'It was the first time I went to a foreign country...'
Hope this helps you!

It was 12 o'clock and I was sleeping in my room.I had my exams the following day, so it was essential to get a good night's sleep. Suddenly, I saw somebody hiding in the curtains and giggling quietly!
I became absolutely terrified.I've read scary stories and seen horror films for a lot of years, where ghosts, monsters and zombies lived, but I've never thought that they really exist.But, in the end, I became braver and I decided to take a look.Feeling quite scared, I opened the curtain and saw... my sister-in-law hiding there!
''You've found me!Now it's my turn to look for you.Hide!''she said, feeling joyful.I was so relieved that it was just a relative hiding, not somebody somebody from horror films!
Nice story! You used some excellent phrases. Well done.
Thank you
I really enjoyed your video. nice information. I understood from this video how to tell stories in past tense. thank you .
Thank from Bangladesh
Gina Madam and oli sir both are excellent in teaching style
Thanks a lot
It was an amazing course. I was able to hear English in British language. that spoke so clearly and slowly then I could understand 75 percent and also I learn how to tell the story for my friends. on top of it all. I found a nice English training group on youtube. actually, they are the very warm group. I have decided to watch their podcast 2 time each week. after hearing putting a long comment. I hope someone would be to rewrite and correct my mistakes in the comment.
Nice answer, Reza. Here are a few corrections for you:
1) 'They spoke so clearly...' not, 'that'.
2) '...I learned how to tell a story for my friends,' not, '...I learn how to tell the story for my friends'.
3) '2 times each week,' not, '2 time each week'.
Hope this helps!
Your all amazing teachers

There are tons of good things in your all videos. Many thanks for all of your dedication to leaners❤❤
Glad you like them, Huyen! Thanks for watching!
thank you very much
I consider myself as one of the poorest individuals to go all the way to finishing school. I was raised by a single mum, a typical villager in the most profound and inner villages in Zambia.
There is no person in Zambia today who is poorer than I used to be who can go to school on self-sponsorship. We were in the village and our livelihood was dependent upon subsistence farming. I was very bright in school and as such, mum one day said; I did not take you to school to finish (or others may say reach grade 12) but to just learn how to write a letter in our native language. In the nutshell, she never wanted me to proceed with my education because of money woes. Being a very determined person, myself, I organised the required examination fees and paid, wrote the examinations and passed with flying colours.
Secondary education was tough, but more traumatising was senior secondary. Mum one day said, "John, you do not have a father to pay for you." When we received the acceptance letter for senior secondary, she asked, "John you are now a grown-up person, where do you think we will be able to find all these monies? I pinpointed at the blueprints and today, the rest is history because three years later, I finished my grade twelve.
Courage, determination, burning desire, unwavering Motivation will help you to achieve anything you desire in life. I am heading high in my life, what about you?
Nice, John! Thanks for sharing. You used some excellent phrases and vocabulary! Here are a few corrections for your story:
1) '...mum one day said: "I did not...' not, '...mum one day said; I did not...'.
2) 'In a nutshell...' not 'the'.
3) '...to find all of this money,' not, '...to find all these monies'.
Hope this helps you!

I am from India and I think it was summer holidays when I was studying 5th class, after finishing my final exams I went to the my grandparents house which is located near countryside. It is a beautiful place to visit. In these days one day cousin and me went to the park which was near by my grandmother house, while we were playing the football suddenly a bull enter into the park, all people those were sitting in the garden they ran away from that place, but we were frightened and unable to run quickly and the bull hit us on our back as we both fell down on the ground and we were shouting for help . Two park watchmen were ran to us very quickly nd save use from severe injuries and I can say it was very bad story in my life.
Thanks for sharing, Sandeep! Here are a few suggestions for you:
1) What does '5th class' mean? Do you mean 'studying in 5th grade'?
2) '...I went to my grandparents' house,' not, '...I went to the my grandparents house'.
3) '...located near the countryside,' not, '...located near countryside'.
Hope this helps you!
Thanks, it is very fruitful.
Thank you so much for lessons🤗
Last spring I decided to travel to Egypt where I can reunion with my family. Later on, I felt I would love to stay longer with my niece and nephew, and a couple of weeks stretched to become months. I don't know how much time has passed already, but I'm sure that it flies with good company. It's been 4 months or so and every day has turned into bliss in here.
Sooner than I expected I started running out of my pocket money as my staying wasn't planned to be longer at first, so I had to find a job and that's what I actually did. I'd applied for several positions and had attended many interviews until I found one that fits my circumstances. However, I'm still getting adapted but things are going well for now.
Nice response! Here is one tip to help make your response even better:
'...where I could reunite with my family,' not, '...where I can reunion with my family.'
Hope this is useful for you!

Thank you much appreciate your pointers
Last Winter, I went to Qamishlo with my friend, Ahmed, by bus. It was a rainy day. We arrived at 9 a.m. When we get off the bus, we saw three beautiful girls wearing red dresses and looking like princess. Ahmed right away fell in love with one of them and decided to make a conversation with her, so he did that. At the time, I wasn't so brave to go and talk to strange checks, so I was amazed and surprised by Ahmed's courage and bravery.
