A story is a sequence of events that can be told to others. It is a way of linking the past, present, and future. A good story can capture the attention of your audience and make them feel something for you.
A story should have an introduction, a middle part, and an end. This way it will be easier for your audience to remember what you have said to them. The introduction should include who you are as well as why you are telling this story. The middle part will include all the events that happened in order to get from where you started to where you are now. Finally, the end should summarize everything that happened in the story so far and how it has changed your life or made it better in some way.

IN CONCLUSION
I have always been fascinated by the idea of storytelling. It’s something that I’ve done for as long as I can remember. I can’t count how many times I would tell my older brother the same story over and over again until he fell asleep. Or how many times my mom would ask me to tell her a story about our family vacation, and I would make up an elaborate tale from scratch just to keep her entertained.
