Lesson 20 — Tell a short story

🎙 Speaking · A1

Tell a short story

Practice telling a short story in order: first, then, after that, finally.

You'll practice:

  • telling events in order with First, Then, After that, Finally
  • using Past Simple verbs: went, saw, met, bought
  • saying what did not happen with didn't
  • saying how you felt: happy, tired, excited

How it works

3 parts

  1. Build a four-step story

    Listen to the example, then record two short sentences about you.

  2. Reconstruct a story with Alex

    You and Alex take turns asking and answering — 4 short answers.

  3. Tell your own short story

    A short free conversation: Alex starts, you reply (about 4–7 turns). Then Miss Sunny gives you feedback.

  • Tap 🎙 and speak, then tap “■ Stop”. Miss Sunny checks what you said and gives one quick tip.
  • The first time, your browser asks to use the microphone — tap Allow.
  • If Miss Sunny can't hear you clearly, it isn't counted as a mistake — just try again.
  • Stuck? Tap “💡 Need help?” for phrases, or type your answer instead of speaking.
