Michelle agrees with this and adds that at times, it can also sound too formal or may not be the right phrase to use when telling your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay and Michelle share other phrase options instead of using \u201cfor example\u2026\u201d to avoid sounding like a textbook when telling a story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be very helpful when you get to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/ielts-video-change-your-life-with-this-ielts-speaking-part-2-answer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IELTS Speaking Part 2<\/a> where the Examiner will ask you to share a story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take note and practice the phrases shared in this episode to come prepared for your IELTS exam and your everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phrases to Use Instead of \u201cFor Example\u2026\u201d <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways to talk about a longer example in your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay and Michelle list below a few phrases you can use for either school, work or regular conversations when telling a story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a good way to prepare your listeners for what you\u2019re talking about and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/listening-fast-funny-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smoothly transition through the events in your story. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here they are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Imagine <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be used when you are selling something or when you are pitching a new idea at work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay mentions that you can usually hear this in infomercials wherein it\u2019s a commercial on your television selling you random products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImagine you are trying to get your work done. Your phone won\u2019t stop ringing. Your baby won\u2019t stop crying. We have the solution.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Let\u2019s say <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be used when you are teaching something that needs imagery like Algebra or Geometry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can easily help them visualize and make your story tangible and better understand what you are talking about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s say you have two apples.

Lindsay shares that you may think this can only be used for sales but that&#8217;s not the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In life in general we are always &#8220;selling&#8221; when we try to convince people to believe in our point of view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Roleplay <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay and Michelle do a quick roleplay using the different phrases shared in this episode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the sake of this example, they used all of the phrases in a normal conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t be expected to use all of them when you\u2019re telling your story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The setting in this roleplay is Lindsay and Michelle are friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay is convincing Michelle to buy a new phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Lindsay: <\/strong>Come on, you should get it! <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Michelle:<\/strong> Why? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong>Lindsay: <\/strong>Well let\u2019s say your phone breaks.
