首先开头不见得要用故事，只是故事开头比较容易读进去；另外讲个小故事也让读者从某个角度了解你一些。
所以，如果觉得自己有故事，不妨用故事来开个头。
这里要说的不是故事的内容，毕竟这个肯定是自己的比较好。这里要说的是故事开头的叙事的方式。
以下几个来自于近期读报的例子，
故事一般大致就是时间、地点、人物、事件。所以下面可以特别注意下这几个元素是怎么出来的
第一个是叙事自己的故事
# 讲自己小时候往返于两地的故事
The flights I took throughout my childhood left O’Hare at noon and lasted 13 hours. When I landed, it was afternoon in Tokyo the next day. Datelines and time zones seemed to converge in my mind as an entire day somehow evaporated. Even more mind-bending was what happened on the return. Leaving Tokyo, I arrived in Chicago the same day, only two hours earlier, like a record skipping backward. By now I know these shifts innately, never needing to do the time-zone math in my head, because I have made the round trip at least 40 times in my 29-year existence. I was born in 1993 in Nagoya, Japan, to an American father and Japanese mother. We’d fly to the United States once or twice a year, for weeks at a time, to see my American grandparents. When my parents, my sister and I moved to the U.S. in 2001, the travel continued, only in reverse. We spent multiple months each summer in Nagoya, a migration we continue to this day. For as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve flown between these two homes, and the part of the journey that I find most familiar is something most people dread and deride: the debilitating, dizzying jet lag.
下面几个是叙事别人的故事
# 一个小故事讲随机善意带来的温暖
In late August, Erin Alexander, 57, sat in the parking lot of a Target store in Fairfield, Calif., and wept. Her sister-in-law had recently died, and Ms. Alexander was having a hard day. A barista working at the Starbucks inside the Target was too. The espresso machine had broken down and she was clearly stressed. Ms. Alexander — who’d stopped crying and gone inside for some caffeine — smiled, ordered an iced green tea, and told her to hang in there. After picking up her order, she noticed a message on the cup: “Erin,” the barista had scrawled next to a heart, “your soul is golden.” “I’m not sure I even necessarily know what ‘your soul is golden’ means,” said Ms. Alexander, who laughed and cried while recalling the incident.
But the warmth of that small and unexpected gesture, from a stranger who had no inkling of what she was going through, moved her deeply.
# 一个小故事讲刚上任的英首相还是太不贴近普通人生活了
In March, Rishi Sunak was photographed filling up a car at a supermarket gas station. The purpose, of course, was self-promotion: Mr. Sunak was keen to advertise his role, as finance minister, in cutting the price of fuel. But the puff misfired.
The car, a modest red Kia Rio, wasn’t his (it belonged to a supermarket employee). Inside the garage, Mr. Sunak further embarrassed himself by showing he had no idea how to make a contactless payment. As a dramatization of Mr. Sunak’s detachment from ordinary life, it couldn’t be bettered.
