About this listen

In this episode of 5-Minute English Talk, Bruce and Stacy teach you how to start a story naturally in English using three simple but powerful phrases: “So, guess what…” “You won’t believe this…” and “Let me tell you…”

These short expressions act like hooks — they grab attention, build curiosity, and make your conversations sound lively and engaging. You’ll hear real-life examples, repeat-after-me practice, and a fun mini-dialogue to see how these phrases sound in action.

By the end of this lesson, you’ll know how to make your English stories more interesting and confident. If you enjoy this episode, please don’t forget to comment, give us a review, and leave a rating — it helps more learners discover our show!
