The young and the ald enjoy hearing and reading stories, Interesting stories particularly
appeal to everyone. Here are some important points that can help us to make a story
interesting and impressive:
1, The story should have a clear and well planned plot.
The events should follow a natural order.
It should be in simple English,
Dialogues should be impressive and worded as naturally as Possible,
it should always be in the past tense.
There should be no grammatical mistakes.
‘tshould have some suspanse for the reader, to make the story have a strong grip.
Practice makes a man perfect; holds good in the case of story writing too.
Developing a story from a given outline is easier than writing one on a heading or a moral
Whatever the case, the conclusion or the end should-be handsomely drawn and moral (if any)
should follow in a natural and clear way.
