A MINI-SAGA COMPETITION
John had no choice. He turned the computer off.
(50 words)
Mini-saga to, jak sama nazwa wskazuje, opowieść w miniaturze. Ma ona swój początek, rozwinięcie i zakończenie. Może być poważna, ponura, straszna, radosna, zabawna lub romantyczna… Najważniejsze jednak, by zamknęła się w dokładnie 50 angielskich słowach.
W Wielkiej Brytanii mini-sagi co roku biorą udział w konkursie na najlepsze mini-opowiadanie organizowane przez gazetę Daily Telegraph.
W II LO organizujemy podobny konkurs w ramach Dni Języka Angielskiego. Zapoznajcie się z najlepszymi mini opowieściami autorstwa Sobieszczaków i sami spróbujcie napisać ciekawą mini-sagę.
