Humans love stories. From a young age, we hear them, tell them, write them and watch them. As we get older, they're still a big part of our lives.

We tell stories every day, whether it's at work or when we tell a friend about the things we're doing in our lives.

And stories might just be one of the secrets to giving a good business presentation. "Stories connect with people much more than statistics," says Mahnoor Sheikh from Visme, a presentation company.

And with any business presentation, you want to leave an impression on the people you're presenting to.

To do this, according to the team from jobs website Indeed, you first have to understand your audience. Who are they? What do they need to know to get excited about what you have to say?

During your presentation, you want to share your own enthusiasm with the audience and involve them with eye contact, says TED curator Chris Anderson.

To begin, the Indeed team says, you need to prepare a strong start to your presentation, which will let you form a connection with your audience.

Next, you have to keep that connection — and you have to be careful.

If you're using presentation software, keep your slides simple. They're just there to help you communicate, says Sheikh. If they're full of text, people may begin reading the slides and stop listening to you.

And don't read from a teleprompter, says Anderson. If you do, you'll lose your connection with the audience. Either memorize your presentation, or use brief points on cards or slides to guide you.

Finally, Indeed says, give the audience something to think about when they leave the room. You had a strong start — now finish telling your story in the same way!

It's also important to have done your research — because you may have to answer questions from your audience at the end!

It is recommended that you study in the following ways:
Step 1: Gist listening. Listen to get the main idea. (more times if necessary)
Step 2: Read the text to find out words you didn't get, then look up the dictionary. 
Step 3: Listen and imitate as much as you can without looking at the text.
Step 4: Write down what you hear if you want to practise writing.

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
每个人多多少少都有一些烦恼，不同年龄的人烦恼的事情可能不太一样。这个采访是从5岁到90岁的人在聊他们人生的难题。今天我们来听听50岁到90岁的烦恼。
50岁：（回答：我什么时候可以退休啊？）那按照那个法定的年龄60岁退休嘛。女同志五十周岁（55岁：听说还要延长退休时间）。我家孩子在外面北漂好几年了，我想让她回来.
60岁：你就让孩子去发展去吧，发展得好就让他在那边混，混不好他自然就回来了。我呀，才60岁，就感觉身体啊跟不上了，以后70可咋办呢？
70岁：到70啊，你就到时候把你的孙子叫过来，这孩子也皮实了，你身体也就好了。难题就是我这个老伴儿呢，怕我这个高血压。菜的里头呢，又少油又少盐又少糖，不好吃。
80岁：难吃啊？难吃上我那吃去。我现在就血压高，就经常得上医院去跑，开药去。我就有一个老同志，我春节的时候去看他，住在医院里的，躺在床上相当可怜。八十多了，好几十（朋友）了。走到尽头了。
90岁：你现在呢就说也不要太难过，你也劝劝他到公园转一转。全是咱们老同志，一块儿聊聊大天。侃侃咱们过去，在一块，年轻的时候。在这方面自己想开点，也就舒畅了。我老伴儿三年前去世了。都这么大岁数了，总得要有一个人先走，但是我也很想念她。说到这儿吧。（5岁：老爷爷，您别难过。老奶奶只是睡着了，您以后碰见她，亲她一口她就醒了）你几岁？你的人生难题是什么呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

   「空中帝国では、『好き』というきもちを持たない人は冷たいといわれる。
　 だけどキミはそうではない。キミはとてもやさしい」
  「・・・・・」
　「やっぱり ぼくたちは住む世界がちがうようだ。このさきも、いっしょになることは
　ないかもしれない。だけど ぼくらは おなじ人間だ。たとえ一瞬でも、きっとなにかで
　つながることができるはずだよ」
　「ウフフ。・・・・・あなたは阿呆ね。でも楽しそう」
「すべてをつなぐ『なにか』を さがさなきゃ」

ヨナヨナと別れ、寝どこに帰る道すがら、『森』の長老パッヘルベルとバッタリあいました。
　「おやまあ、すっかり阿呆の目をしとる。なにか あったかの？」
　「長老パッヘルベル、どうすれば世界はつながりますか？」
　「ヒッヒッヒ。いつの世も、夜明けの鐘を鳴らすのは、阿呆のしわざと決まっとる」
長老パッヘルベルはかなり酔っぱらっているようです。
　「まじめに聞いてください。空中帝国と『森』が つながることはあるのでしょうか？」
　「今夜は月が きれいじゃのう」
　「・・・はい。とてもきれいですね」
　「ほうら、つながった。月の魔法に まんまと つなげられてしまったわい。ヒッヒッヒ・・・」
魔法・・・それは ずいぶん ひさしぶりに聞いた言葉でした。
　「人間がつかえる魔法はなんですか？世界をつなげる魔法はなんですか？」
　「感動じゃよ。ヒッヒッヒ・・・」
そう言葉を のこし、長老パッヘルベルは森の奥へと消えていきました。
