On a sunny morning... This is a more positive and bright opening. It can be used for stories that are going to have a lighter tone, perhaps a love story or a story about new beginnings. It sets a scene of hope and freshness right from the start.
Once upon a time. This is a classic opening that immediately sets a story -telling mood and makes the reader expect a fictional or fairy - tale - like story.
An example of Shan Tianfang's opening remarks was as follows:
Hello, listeners!
I'm Shan Tianfang, and today, I'm going to tell you a story that has been told through the ages.
This story was about a hero who sacrificed everything to protect his country and people.
His story touched countless people and became a classic legend in Chinese history.
Now I will use my words and voice to pass on this wonderful story to the audience, hoping that everyone can be inspired and inspired by it.
Thank you, everyone!
One Christmas, the Christmas tree in the town square was decorated in a very strange way. The ornaments were all mixed up - big ones on the bottom and small ones on the top. A little bird flew into the tree thinking it was a very odd forest. It started chirping loudly as if to say 'What is this mess?'. The people around the square were amused by the bird's reaction and it became a really funny start to their Christmas day.
Once upon a Xmas, Santa was so tired from all the present - making that he accidentally put his boots on his hands and his gloves on his feet. When he tried to climb down the chimney, he slipped and landed right in a big bowl of Christmas pudding! His reindeer were laughing so hard that they almost didn't take off for the next delivery.
Once upon a time, in a far - away land. It's a classic opening that immediately sets a story in a different place and time, creating a sense of mystery and wonder.
A good story opening often involves introducing an interesting character with a unique problem or goal. This creates an immediate connection with the reader. Also, set the tone and atmosphere of the story clearly from the beginning.
You need to start with an interesting hook that grabs the reader's attention right away. Maybe a mystery, a thrilling action scene, or a unique character introduction.
