Mini sagas are really short stories, about 50-words long. These ones have been written by NA1-A students.   1. A BIG DAY Mark was really nervous, the next day he had an interview in a major company. Before going to sleep he had prepared his clothes carefully. As soon as the alarm clock went off, he got dressed, but when he arrived, the company was closed. He turned pale. The alarm clock had sounded two hours late.

ACTING <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">When I was a child, in the summer I used to play in the street with the children from the neighbourhood.

To choose the main character we had a competition to see who could cry first. Obviously I had to think of something very sad, like my mother had died and I was alone. After rehearsing extremely hard for two weeks, we invited our parents and friends to see our play. They had to pay a small amount as an entrance fee and with this we bought so many sweets that, unfortunately, we were all very ill the next few days.
