How to interest your interlocutor?

Have you ever thought of… Just imagine… Did I ever tell you about… I’ve thought a lot about… There’s no denying the importance… You just won’t believe… I’ve always been keen on… I don’t mind telling you… Many people believe…

Вы когда-либо думали о… Только представьте… Я когда-либо рассказывал о… Я много думал о… Нельзя отрицать важности… Вы просто не поверите… Я всегда интересовался… Не стану скрывать… Многие люди считают…

Examples: Have you ever thought of why people read books? Just imagine that it’s dangerous to breathe. Did I ever tell you about my childhood? I’ve thought a lot about the effect of industry on nature. There’s no denying the importance of technological progress. You just won’t believe what an amusing article I’ve just read! I’ve always been keen on science fiction. I don’t mind telling you about this exciting accident. Many people believe that detective literature is not literature at all.

How to start the story? The whole thing started with… Nobody could expect… Who could have thought… The point is… Let me draw your attention to… This is the way the whole thing

happened… This particular incident came to

pass when… Beyond all doubt… If I’m not mistaken…

Все началось с… Никто не ожидал… Кто бы мог подумать… Дело в том, что… Разрешите обратить ваше

внимание на… Вот как все это происходило… Этот случай произошел как

раз тогда, когда… Вне всяких сомнений… Если я не ошибаюсь…

Examples: The whole thing started with the meeting in the cafe. Nobody could expected that he would leave school. Who could have though of such a nonsense. The point is that it has never happened before. Let me draw your attention to the main heroes’ past. This is the way the whole thing happened. This particular incident came to pass when the detective came to the city. Beyond all doubt it was an incredible incident. If I’m not mistaken this story is particularly unique.

How to spice up the story? You just imagine! Just think! What do you think he did next? You’ll never guess, what happened next! I would have never believed in it! Maybe I’m painting it too black. Have you ever heard anything like that? I suppose you expected him to act like

this.

Только представьте! Только подумайте! Что вы думаете сделал после? Вы не догадаетесь, что было дальше! Я бы никогда не поверил в это! Возможно, я слишком сгущаю краски. Вы когда-то слышали о подобном? Вы, наверно, ожидали, что он так

поступит.

How to make your story coherent?

At first Soon Before that After that At that moment Just then Immediately In an hour While Suddenly As soon as

Сначала Вскоре До того После того В тот момент Именно тогда Незамедлительн

о Через час В то время, как Внезапно Как только

By the time Until Till As long as Finally Eventually Gradually Day after day Day in and

day out

К тому времени как Пока не До тех пор пока Пока В итоге Со временем Постепенно День за днем Изо дня в день

Examples: She decided to wait till twelve o’clock. After that he decided to leave the room immediately. At first he seemed a good fellow to me! Soon the young man was far from that scary place. As soon as she saw blood, she decided to call the police immediately! The situation was becoming worse gradually. While the woman was reading, the dog was spoiling her favorite

shoes. Finally the found the way out of the forest.

Enjoy communicating!
