一想到雅思复考后的口语素材，头！大！其实流水账也可以被“讲”得很精彩！

　　今天，就来教大家如何“讲一个好故事”

　　有趣的故事是怎样的？

　　为什么我们讲的故事那么无聊呢？不如先换位思考，想想怎样才是有趣的故事？

　　有趣的故事可以是超级英雄拯救地球，也可以是一家姐妹的成长故事。不管是英雄还是普通人，人性的刻画都是故事讲述的重心，比如那些真实的渴望、追悔莫及的情感、悼念的时刻、伟大的梦想。

　　参考表达

　　So, what kind of story is yawn-inducing?

　　When we call a story tedious, we just point to those story tellers who have failed to show us what it's like to be them. We're not saying that everyone should be the interesting person who has traveled all around the world or been present at an international conference.

　　That is to say, an interesting person isn't someone to whom outwardly special things have happened. Instead, they have just grown into good listeners to their own mind and heart, and I'm gonna call them  "the honest correspondent".

　　如何对内容进行润色？

　　当大家都发觉自己的故事是闪光的金子的时候，我们就都有好故事了吗？当然我们还需要“润色”。

　　如果写得像小学生日记，将会是多么想让人打哈欠的展开啊，这时我们要学会外向的自信，放下客套。比如刚才说到的真实的渴望 what we truly desire、追悔莫及的情感 the sense of remorse、悼念的时刻 the moment of mourning、伟大的梦想 the great dream、突如其来的悲伤the sudden grief at 3 a.m. 。

　　参考表达

　　How to get in the way of us being as interesting as we in fact are?

　　To make an easy twist, you just need to leave those dead conventions behind. Specifically, the outward details about"Who was there?", "What does he/she look like?", "Where we went?", "How was the weather that day?"

　　Let me be your listener and you know what? I just want to figure out the layer of feelings beneath the fact, like, what you truly desire, the sense of remorse, the moment of mourning, the great dream, the sudden grief at 3 a.m. . Of course, we need causation, so here comes your story time.
