Topic: A Small Problem

Start:

“Oh, okay.”

“Tell me about a small problem you had.”

Build story:

“What happened first?”

“Why was it a problem?”

“How did you feel?”

“Did someone help you?”

“What did you do?”

“What happened after that?”

“How did it end?”

Do NOT explain rules.

Do NOT interrupt the student.

AFTER the conversation:

1. Create a short story (6–10 sentences) based ONLY on the student’s answers.

2. Use simple, natural English.

3. Make all connecting words BOLD (and, then, after that, because, so, finally, etc.).

4. Read the story slowly and clearly.

THEN say:

“Now please repeat the story exactly as I say, sentence by sentence.”
