Thanks Jim. Storytelling is an ancient tradition - nothing beats sitting round a campfire... There are stories from our own experiences but it's also good to learn some folk stories etc.

Before i started writing my very first story, believe me i watched almost all of your videos!. This really helped make my story more colorful!. I was able to gather more readers and supporters, thanks Benjamin!

I really enjoyed listening to the teacher tell such a great story , it makes learning so much more fun ! Sincerely , a learning student that tries to make the grade and if I take better notes like these . I believe more in myself . I watch a lot of different teachers on this learning channel because they really do care about students learning for the better grades . I seem to always learn something from this teacher's learning videos too . Thanks again , to this teacher for making story telling seem a bit more easier with organization and structuring ideas is what I learned from watching this video and I am going to try to constantly use them as they are organized and displayed on the learning board . A new learning tool I shall constantly try and apply to my learning objectives in reading and writing . I am a struggling learning student just trying to make better grades . Therefore I would like to say this teacher deserves five stars to for teaching with humor and care for students such as myself who tries and wants to make better grades , and if I keep watching learning videos like these . My confidence gets better with believing I can make better grades with learning techniques that is also what are great learning tools . Thanks again for the fun with learning videos 🌟🌟 🌟🌟🌟

So I have written flash fiction, short stories. Your videos are so much fun.

This was awesome Benjamin! I had been looking for a video like this for months and now I've found a great teacher doing a video on it! BUT ONE QUESTION, how I can learn the kind of words you used to exaggerate? (grid-lock, tearing my hair out, tearing down the hard shoulder, slamming [on the accelerator])

Just FYI ..took the quiz after, but messing with my score is a pop up box that says: you forgot to answer even though my answer is sitting there. Sometimes, this box skips a question and that messes with points also. Thought you would like to know. Love your videos SHOW NOT TELL, and this one are the only two I have seen so far. Am a new Subscriber.

You hope that after telling a story, someone might make a comment about it or ask you a question. If not, get the attention on someone else in the group by asking them a question or something.

How can you make sure you have stories that relate to 'usual' topics that people talk about? If your socially ackward or have a bad memory it can be difficult to always have the right stories? Is there a polite way that you can change what someone has been talking about to match the topic that you have a story about?

@engvidBenjamin

Hi Mark, thanks for this question. I think it's a bit unnatural to prepare stories for social situations but it's good to reflect after on how the storytelling went - which bits were people really listening to? Try and remember the funny stuff that happens to you...

hello mr. Benjamin. I watched the video and started practicing storytelling by writing those down. I have a humble request. can you check and critique the stories i have been practicing writing over email because my storytelling is very long winded and boring. i have nobody to turn to to check for improvement. thanks. - english literature major who wants to be able to write and narrate good stories in future. PS waiting for your reply.

Hi - this video is aimed at spoken stories. Telling a story in conversation in person is more difficult than writing down a story as you have to adapt to your audience. I think this video has some useful premises in, just try and experiment with them. Also remember that stories should emerge naturally - you don't go round to someone's house with the intention of telling a specific story.

Thanks, when will you upload video next

@@engvidBenjamin No, you don't understand my point, which is my language In that, if we show respect towards someone, then we use plural for that. But here for a human if I have to use plural Like if I want to say that "how do they know this", how will I say this sentence. Since I can't use "they" for a single person. Is there also any such rule in the English language that if I want to show respect towards someone, then we should add something specific in it , Like plural is used in my language I speak. 😄 Be sure to answer. I think to say that how do "he know this " is unformal.
