How to be a female classmate who can tell stories

The goddess said, I am a man with a story.

Female nerve said, I'm a storyteller.

Beautiful female students never lack stories, because they are usually the heroines in stories. However, in this era, you can only be a vase when you are beautiful, and the vase can be seen from a distance, which is not ridiculous; Only beautiful female students who can tell stories and deceive people can be invincible for a long time. So, how to be a storyteller?

Life is made up of stories. Storytelling should be a necessary skill for everyone. How to tell a plain story vividly?

1. Why is storytelling a necessary skill for everyone?

1. Interview and meet, the story makes you colorful;

In the workplace, everyone needs to go through interviews and meetings. It is inevitable to introduce yourself in an interview. You need to impress everyone by talking about your past experiences. At this time, you can't just say what kind of person you are and use adjectives to shape yourself. You should tell the interviewer what you have experienced. At this time, storytelling has become a very important part of expression.

2. In social situations, stories make you popular;

In social life, we will go to chat with friends, or go to pick up girls (Korea). At this time, we will chat, and the purpose of chatting is to let you see your own advantages. At this time, if you just tell everyone what kind of person you are, it is inappropriate. You need to tell such a person through a vivid story.

3. Telling stories can help you shape your personal brand;

Xu Xiaoping once said, "Today's entrepreneurs must be network celebrities, and they must have personal brands to better stand on their feet." For example, Ma Yun and Lei Jun, when we think of these big men, the first thing that comes to mind is not his title, nor how powerful he is. We can remember these great men because there are many stories behind them. For example, Ma Yun, the story of his self-made. ...

You want to build your own personal brand. If you want to walk slowly to the stage and become a public figure, then what you want to leave to everyone is your story.

Storytelling can also make your brand warmer and more value-added. In this era of consumption upgrading, what people buy is not only the function, but also the feeling and sense of identity. For example, if you buy a mobile phone, first of all, its function touched us; The second is this mobile phone, and the story behind its founder can move us more. In this internet age, a brand wants to succeed, and its story is an indispensable part.

Second, how to tell stories?

1. Elements and basic structure of the story

First of all, there must be people (who), events driven by people, purposes (what they want to do) and emotional values. The purpose of telling stories is to let others gain a sense of identity and * * *. When I was young, everyone kept a diary. Why is a diary not a story? A running account is the order in which we list things. Let's give an example. For example, if you want to get up for work every morning, you should first get up, wash your face, put on makeup, change your pajamas into professional clothes, then put on your shoes, go out, buy a steamed stuffed bun in the corner of the community, and finally take the bus, subway or drive to the company. These actions are not stories because they have no purpose. What do you want your audience to get by telling them? There is no purpose, the story has no focus and no climax.

Now let's change the story a little. For example, when you arrive at the company, you want to tell a story to your colleagues. You tell your colleagues about your experience today: you just opened your eyes in the morning, looked at your mobile phone and said, "Oh, my God, it's already 8: 30." You arrive at the company at 9: 00, and you need to punch in ten minutes later. Then you get up quickly, put on makeup for two minutes, grab your clothes and go out. Your shoes are still wrong. At this time, you were still hungry, so you threw two steel spatulas at the boss's steamed stuffed bun shop. The boss looked back at you, but you ignored him, grabbed two steamed buns and ran away. I finally arrived at the company in ten minutes.

Why is this a story and not a running account? First, this story has a sense of object and purpose, because you want to tell your colleagues that you arrived at the company quickly today and spent a short time. Second, with a purpose, you will know how to tell a story before telling it. Third, a good story should have a good motive.

Specifically, a character should have desire, then start to act, hit a wall after acting, and then the character solves one difficulty after another. Finally, the characters overcome difficulties and reach a result. These structures are called heroic narratives.

2. How to grasp the details in the story?

Only the details will make the story more moving and the characters more prominent. For example, if you describe your relatives or colleagues in three sentences, I believe many people will search for many adjectives to describe your relatives or colleagues, such as "My colleagues are warm, handsome and a little tidy". Here, I suggest you replace adjectives with more details, because these adjectives are very popular and can be applied to everyone without personalization.

Now use a few examples to change it: say that your colleague is very enthusiastic. When he sees everyone, he will open his arms and jump in for a hug, although he has a higher chance of catching the air. It is said that a person loves cleanliness very much and washes sheets every day. He broke up with his ex-girlfriend because she didn't take a shower before going to bed one night. If a person is handsome, how handsome is he? Once, his mobile phone was stolen by a thief. After seeing the photos in his mobile phone album, the thief couldn't bear it any longer and returned his mobile phone to him.

Therefore, when you want to describe a person, abandon adjectives and express a person's character with a certain feature of life or one-sidedly. These characters will become very vivid, unique and vivid.

In life, whether writing or telling stories, when you have better life details and better scenes to express your views, discard those big and insensitive adjectives.

3. How to prioritize stories?

In life, we will meet such a person. When you are listening to him, you will spend a lot of time walking around and never hear what he is saying. These people just can't tell the priorities of their speeches. This kind of mistake often appears in writing and telling stories, so how should it be avoided? As mentioned above, we should be clear about the purpose of telling stories.

For example, if you go to an interview, the examiner will ask you, do you have any skills that others don't have? You replied that I have the ability to keep calm in times of crisis, and the examiner asked you to tell me where you can show calm in times of crisis. Then you said, once you were in charge of an activity, because the guest's plane was delayed for two hours because of heavy rain. At this time, you went on stage and told the audience some humorous cross talk, and the audience forgot the fact that the guests had not come yet.

If a person has no clear priorities, how can he keep calm in a crisis? He will say that he once held an event and it took him three days to invite guests before agreeing to come. Then there were some problems at the scene. The PPT of the speech was not finalized, the equipment was not ready and the computer was broken. He was in a hurry at this time, but he solved it one by one. Finally, the guest had another problem, because his plane was delayed for two hours because of the heavy rain, and he started blabla again. ...

Because the second man made too much preparation in front, he wanted to express more advantages to the interviewer, but he didn't prioritize. Finally, he said the key points of how to stay awake in the crisis. At this time, people will be disgusted.

Stories are functional. In fact, a story has many functions. Which direction to tell the story and which function to express.

Third, how to make the story interesting?

Why do some people tell interesting stories? If you look closely, you will find that his story contains a lot of rhetoric. There are many rhetorical devices, such as metaphor, personification, exaggeration, contrast and synaesthesia.

For example, when you come back to your boyfriend after work, you are very tired today, so tired and tired! But you tell your boyfriend like this, have you seen the rubber skin on the road? It collapsed limply, and I am just like it now.

1. How to make the beginning fascinating?

Many people feel insecure when expressing themselves: Is my story not attractive enough? People are not interested in my story? At this time, if your story has a good beginning, you can quickly bring everyone into your story, and then you can enhance your self-confidence.

How to make the beginning of the story fascinating? The first method is sorting; The second method is flashback. Sequence means to quickly list the time, place, characters and suspense of the story. For example, I was walking home at 0/2 last night/kloc-and suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder. Say that finish this sentence, then stop. At this time, everyone will be easily brought into the story by you. Why was I slapped on the shoulder? Who the hell is it?

The second method is flashback. For example, my biological brother who has been separated for more than 20 years has been found, and the story should start from a few days ago; For example, I lost weight from 220 kg two years ago to 120 kg now. Guess how I did it?

With this surprising result, everyone will definitely want to know how to do it. What happened in the middle?

2. How to create a humorous effect?

Compared with many discourses, humor is a very striking skill.

The first point: reversal.

Inversion is the beginning of a story that makes you think the result should be like this, but the real result surprises you. For example, the popular "click on the full text" in the circle of friends gives people an unexpected effect, which in turn makes people feel very humorous.

For example: I thought we could walk to the end together. You said you would take a taxi if you took two steps.

The second point: homophonic.

This kind of humor often appears in Spring Festival Galas and Zhao Benshan's sketches.

For example, a girl made a wish on a magic lamp that she wanted a tall and handsome boyfriend. Then she felt something was missing, and then she said, money, be rich. The magic lamp thought about it and finally gave her a tall and handsome ex-boyfriend.

The third point: strengthen the details

For example, when you are waiting for someone, you can say that I have been watching the couple across the street quarreling for half an hour.

The fourth point: make good use of the mantra.

When you form a mantra, you use it to express all kinds of things, and over time, it will form a humorous effect. Refer to various sketches and series for details.

The fifth point: values

When telling a joke, you know it's a joke. At this time, you must restrain yourself from laughing first. The more you restrain yourself and tell jokes seriously, the better the effect will be. For this example, please refer to Ma Dong in The Story of Chipa. Every time he carefully watches those humorous advertisements, the effect is very cute, which makes people laugh. If he smiles at those advertisements, the effect will be greatly reduced.

3. How to improve your imagination?

Imagination is a very important but neglected skill. Many times, the ability to work has not been greatly improved, and life has stagnated, probably because of lack of imagination.

Please say the effects of several different versions according to the following five words. Different versions are different objects, and then the effect of practicing imagination can be achieved.

For example: cello, taxi, mask, strawberry, chemistry.

Magic Edition: Strawberry took a taxi to the cello concert, but was caught by chemists on the way and turned into a mask in the laboratory.

Touching Edition: A taxi driver who leaves early and returns late, his childhood dream is to be a cellist. Fortunately, on WeChat commercial times, he made a fortune by selling strawberry masks. The first thing he did was to donate the money to the Cello Performance Association. After he donated all his money, he was reported because the strawberry mask contained chemical components and was fined a lot of money. But he said he had no regrets. Although I can't be a cellist, it is also a pleasure to help others realize their dreams and be an appreciative listener.

Simulated version: The largest chemical mask factory in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province closed down. Bastard boss Huang He owed 300 million yuan for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and took his cellist sister-in-law to take a taxi and ran away. I have no choice but to wear a mask to get paid. Yellow crane bastard, you are not human. We have worked hard for half a year, and we can't even afford strawberries. Give me back my hard-earned money.

In life, you can use such exercises to constantly improve your imagination. Open your mind in a series of ways and let your mind continue to expand.

Fourth, how to become a person with a story?

You can interview yourself as a reporter and sort out your past experiences with some questions.

Many reporters will ask some questions when interviewing stars, such as: Can you tell me one thing that influenced you the most in your childhood? When was the last time you broke down and cried? What is the most frustrating thing for you recently?

You ask yourself some questions that may not happen, but your answers to these questions are your unique values.

Every question will be arranged into a story, and every story will be superimposed, so you are a person with a story.

Everyone has a story. A person with a story includes two aspects:

First, continuous past experience (what has happened);

Second, your values (things that haven't happened yet).

Listening to stories is everyone's instinct. When you want to impress others, when you want to answer others' questions, when you want to express yourself, when you want to build a brand, give priority to stories.

Stories can make people sing quickly; Stories can quickly break down barriers; Stories can help you express a concept very clearly.

I believe everyone can be a storyteller.
