BRAM STOKER (1847-1912)

Mysterious and tormented: that's what we know about Bram Stoker, the creator of Dracula. And, indeed, that is how he must have been to imagine such a bloodthirsty creature. 104 years later, the author is perhaps not so well remembered but Dracula is certainly still as famos as ever. It's a case of a character that has "liminated" its author!

Vocabulary:

Tormented- Atormentat.

Indeed- efectivament.

Bloodthirsty- El mès senguinari.

Hi, 

My name's Bernat Díaz and I live in south London. I like the area where I live so I want to improve it.

In my opinion the young people spend all their time hanging around on the street. There isn't anywhere for young people to go, as a result there are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti.

There aren't any facilities for them. I think the comucie should do something about this. I'm sure they can build have a youth café, and this people could go.

There isn't anywhere for young poeple to go, as a resoult there are sometimes problemes with vandalism and grafitti.
