To teach English today is a hard word, it’s very difficult to motivate the students to learn a second language, they usually say expressions like:“ I don’t know English !, “Teacher, this is very difficult to me”, “Please translate into Spanish”, “ I don’t know nothing”.
English teachers do a titanic labor every day, specially when students have to write or produce a text.
Here, I show you some short stories made for students of ninth grade.

The old lady
Por: Andrea Estefania Padilla (Grado 902)

There was an old lady who lived in a castle, one day a little boy arrived there by. He was lost and hungry, he couldn`t eat something. The old lady said no get out of here and locked the door. The little boy sad and with his heart broken runs away to find someone to give you something to eat but he couldn‘t find anyone and decides to enter the forest and find a way home but he really he never found because he disappeared forever.

An evil old lady
Por: Carla Hernández (Grado 902)

There was an old lady who lived in a castle. One day a group of teenagers arrived there by accident and asked if they could use the phone. The old lady said: “Yes, come in” and smiled.
The group of teenagers came in and they were afraid when they saw a headless man sit down in an armchair that smiled and said: “You’ll never get out of here”! They ran around the castle and said; “HELP! But nobody listen to them.
The old lady said; “Ha, ha, ha, you will be my dinner and a ghost who appeared in this moment opened the door and said: “Run away quickly”. The group of teenagers ran away and escaped and they never went back there.

Thinking of you
Por: Jorge Pinzón (Grado 1101)

In a sunny day, in a dark night
i can`t get away your face of my mind
tired of this loved life i decided to change
and i want to be the one, who i was yesterday.
Walking alone in this raining morning
i`m thinking about you in this and all moments
thinking in your cold face… in your death smile
crying and screaming for all those lies.
I`m not saying good bye because I can`t
I`m not saying good bye because I don`t want
I`m just saying I love you but you don`t care that…
