Intro Mini-Story Text

Hi this is AJ Hoge. Welcome to the mini-story for "Introduction to Power English". Let's

get started. In the mini-story I will tell a kind of strange, funny, stupid story. Usually

actually I will ask the story. It means I will ask a lot of questions. The reason I ask

these questions is to get a lot of repetition so that the grammar structure, the grammar

pattern will go into your brain deeply because you're getting it again and again and

again.

You don't need to think about it. Just relax, listen to the story, answer the questions

quickly. If you need to you can pause your iPod, pause your computer and answer the

questions. Orif it's too fast, just listen. You don't have to speak. Speaking is optional.

If you can do it, if you want to answer the questions, great! Shout them out. If you

don't, if it's too difficult or you're in a train with other people, that's fine. Just listen and

relax, that's okay too. Okay, let's start.
