A FEW TIPS :
1 Use past tense
2 Ask rhetoric questions such as : can you believe this ? / you know what ?
3 Use chronology : first/then/after that / finally
4 Action verbs are key : came in/ ran into/ heard / saw
5 Talk to your audience : listen to this / listen to my story
6 Comment : it was so awful that…. I was so scared that …. I had so much fun…. I ‘ll never forget that day…
PLAN POUR L’ANECDOTE :
1 Phrase d’introduction : I’m going to talk about…./I’ll tell you about…(je vais vous raconter..)
2 Circonstances, situation : There was / There were (il y avait…)
I was …. ( where, when/ où, quand …)
I was + Verb-ing ex : I was sitting in class/ I was sleeping
My mother was + Verb-ing ex : My mother was singing next to me

On peut ajouter des mots de chronologie ou des adverbes de temps. First, then, after that, finally… All of a sudden/Suddenly…

5 Les commentaires : It was so incredible/ amazing / I couldn’t believe it/ I was so scared/ We had so much fun/ I’lll never forget that moment…. (l’effet que ça vous a fait, l’importance que cela a eu pour vous)
