Famous for introducing the character of the vampire Count Dracula,
the novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to relocate from
Transylvania to England, and the battle between Dracula and a small
group of men and women led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing.
Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. The novel touches on themes such as the role of women in Victorian culture, sexual conventions, immigration, colonialism, and post-colonialism.
Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, he defined its modern form,
and the novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film and television
interpretations.

Script of oral presentation about London 2012
Jordi - Hello my name is Jordi, I’m fiveteen years old and i study here in Escola Casa nostra.
Albert - Hello my name is Albert, I’m fiveteen years old and i study here in Escola Casa nostra.
Jordi
- Today we are going to talk about the the 2012 London Olympics. We are
going to talk about the story of the olympics, and about how will be
the london olympics.
Albert
- The Ancient Olympic Games were a series of competitions held between
representatives of several states and kingdoms from Ancient Greece,
which featured athletic but also combat and chariot racing events.
The
origin of these Olympics is shrouded in mystery and legend. One of the
most popular myths identifies Heracles and his father Zeus as the
progenitors of the Games.According to legend, it was Heracles who first
called the Games "Olympic" and established the custom of holding them
every four years. A legend persists that after Heracles completed his
twelve labors, he built the Olympic stadium as an honor to Zeus.
Tradition has it that Coroebus, a cook from the city of Elis, was the first Olympic champion.
Jordi
- At the bending of 20th century, the first actually games were in
Athens. These Games brought together 14 nations and 241 athletes who
competed in 43 events. Zappas and his cousin kONSTANTOS
zAPPAShad left the Greek government a trust to fund future Olympic
Games. This trust was used to help finance the 1896 Games.George Averoff contributed generously for the refurbishment of the stadium in preparation for the Games.128
The Greek government also provided funding, which was expected to be
recouped through the sale of tickets to the Games and from the sale of
the first Olympic commemorative stamp set.
The
Greek officials and public were enthusiastic about the experience of
hosting these Games. This feeling was shared by many of the athletes,
who even demanded that Athens be the host of the Olympic Games on a
permanent basis. The IOC did not approve this request. The committee
planned that the modern Olympics would rotate internationally. As such
they decided to hold theSECORD gAMES in Paris.
Albert
- Now there are many different olympics, there are the paralympics, the
winter games and since 2010 there were the youth games, a olympic games
created for the teenagers about 14 years old to 18 years old.
Jordi- The 2012 Summer Olympic Games, officially the Games of the XXX Olympiad, will take place in London, England, United Kingdom, from 27 July to 12 August 2012.
Albert - Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) are expected to participate. The Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee, which had planned to continue functioning after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, had its membership withdrawn by the IOC Executive Committee at the IOC session of June 2011.
Jordi
- The 2012 Summer Olympic programme features 26 sports and a total of
39 disciplines. The 2012 Paralympic Games programme has 20 sports and 21
disciplines. For the first time, women's boxing is included in the
programme, with 40 athletes competing in five different weight classes.There is a special dispensation to allow the various shooting events to go ahead, which would otherwise be illegal under U.K. gun law.
Albert - Thanks for listen this oral presentation! That’s all friends!
