Welcome to Easy stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from ok to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel Goodbody, your host for this show.
Today's story is for intermediate learners.
The name of the story is House of Secrets.
This is chapter one of four.

This contains the full story as well as my conversation before it.
Today's story is a story I actually wrote with one of my classes.
So thank you to all my students for being so creative and willing to take part.
We started by creating characters, so we came up with personalities, appearances, and then I revealed that all of these characters were going to be living together and they would each have a secret that would be revealed.
After that, we improvised scenes with the characters.
So we each played our own character and pretended to be them in a scene.
It was very comedic because I like making jokes, like very stupid jokes, and it was very dialogue heavy.
That's actually something I really like about this story.
It has a lot more dialogue, so a lot more talking than my other stories, which I think is a natural result of doing it through improvisation.
I'm really happy with how this story came out.
It's a bit unusual, but I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
So once again, thank you to Steven, Devi and Marta for making this story come to life.
Now let me tell you about the characters.
