Yes, you can store this conversation in proper corpus format (.JSON or .YML) as you can see in _site-packages/chatterbot_corpus/data/_.
You can add your conversation in _site-packages/chatterbot_corpus/data/custom/_.
I prefer .YML, as it is more human readable, as compared to .JSON

Yes using existing export feature http://chatterbot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/corpus.html?highlight=export#exporting-your-chat-bot-s-database-as-a-training-corpus

its possible to have multiple statement in one section ?
as i see in documentation :
Satement
Response
Satement
Response
Satement
Response
etc ...

and here what would i do :
Satement
Response
Statement
Statement
Response
statement
statement
statement
Response

@guangrei It won't possible with current training algorithm. But i didn't understand your usecase, if possible can with some examples with your usecase?

[guangrei]

the case look like a multiple statement with one response e.g:
when statement match one of statement 1 or statement 2 or statement 3 then will get same response

@guangrei It currently isn't possible to have more than one statement as a response. I agree this might be useful, and I've had a number of requests for this functionality. I'll look into the possibility of adding this feature (https://github.com/gunthercox/chatterbot-corpus/issues/58).
