  <abstract>This is a collection of short stories intended for classroom use. Until a  few years ago there were only two familiar types of exercise in the English lesson: the reproduction of an anecdote from memory and the writing of an essay on a prescribed theme. This book provides well-known short stories to carry out writing exercises based on them.</abstract>
