Short Story

In the language class, we were asked to write a story so as to show the theory we learnt. We were asked to underline:

Five connectors
Three sequence Markens
Two examples of direct speech


Mark couldn’t believe his good luck. His real name was Markthaniel, actually. Finally, his coach of american football let him be the kicker of the team.


“Listen to me Markthaniel, you don’t have many opportunities. This is once. Take advantage of this.”


“I won’t disappoint you, coach! Neither the team.”

After this speech, Mark went to his house extremely excited. Although he could fail, he had confidence in himself. In three days, he would be playing in the super bowl, the most important final in american football. However, his team, The California Giants never won this championship and winning it would be so important that, unlike others team, they will be known all around USA.
The next two days, he worked hard and trained until he could desmay. He was prepared. The field was all for him.
The night later, through all the game, the team couldn’t do a touchdown. In consequence, Mark couldn’t kick. His team was losing in a very exciting match, with a lot of action. Fortunately, one of his partners made a touchdown. Everyone was rousing. It was Mark’s turn to kick. If he got the ball between the two sticks, his team would become champion!
Spite the confidence Mark had in himself, he was SO nervous. He failed the kick.

“And Markthaniel failed the kick! he wasn’t prepared, his team lost because he failed. We said it before: you mus’t be professional. A national disaster!” said a journalist

Mark couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t stop crying. He didn’t have to cry. Instead, he have to reflect. As a result of all the comments about him, the insults and the angriness, Mark committed suicide.
