During lunch break, my friend Lila always makes us laugh. She has a way of telling stories that’s full of energy and fun. One day, she told us about a time she went to a restaurant and accidentally ordered five bowls of rice instead of one. She was trying to speak English and got confused. “I said, ‘I want rice, rice, rice,’” she laughed. “The waiter thought I meant three bowls!” We all laughed so hard. It wasn’t just the story—it was how she told it. She used big hand movements, sound effects, and funny faces. Even if you didn’t understand every word, you could feel the meaning. I asked her later, “How do you tell stories so well in English?” She said, “I think about what I want to say, and I don’t worry about being perfect. I just enjoy it.” That helped me. I realized that when I relax and speak with emotion, people listen. I started sharing my own little stories—about my bus ride, my dog, or my weekend trip. I made mistakes, but people understood. Some even laughed! Telling stories is more than speaking English—it’s sharing your life. And when you do it with joy, it brings people together.
