The final of the contest :-)

Hi there! 
I got lots of emails. Thanks for your efforts. You looked for the tips in the first chapter of our book and some of you were successful. Here you can check your answers:

Task 1:
1. After Jonathan Harker arrived at the hotel, the elderly man gave him a letter from Count Dracula.
2.The ride to the castle was not very enjoyable.

First of all the driver looked strange and behaved in an unnatural way. Besides, there was a mysterious blue flame in the dark forest. You can't also forget about a great number of wolves, howling and following Dracula's carriage. Remember? The horses were terrified - they shook with fright and jumped about. Jonathan was too afraid to speak or move.

3. Dracula didn't drink or eat anything.

As you probably remember, he said he had already eaten. What did he mean...? Ha, ha, ha...

Task 2:


1.nobleman 2.cheery-looking 3.rough 4.about 5.night 6.terribly 7.to 8.foot 9.into 10.that
...and the winners are:

The first task

Hi guys! As I promised - this is your first task. 
Have a look at the short version of the chapter we read last Wednesday. There are three things that didn't really happen. Find them! 
(Popatrzcie na krótką wersję rozdziału, który przeczytaliśmy w zeszłą środę. Są tam trzy rzeczy, które tak naprawdę się nie wydarzyły. Znajdźcie je!) 

Send your answers to my email address: wordsclub@wp.pl

"After Jonathan Harker arrived at the hotel, the landlady gave him a
letter from Count Dracula. The following day, Jonathan left on a coach
for Borgo Pass, where Dracula’s coach would meet him and take him
to the castle. The ride to the castle was very enjoyable, and Jonathan
saw a strange blue flame and heard the sound of many wolves. When
Jonathan arrived at the castle, Dracula met him at the door, took his
bags, and led him to a room where supper was waiting for him. Dracula
drank wine and later said that the sound of wolves was like beautiful
music."

What's the name of the most famous vampire in the world???

Some of you, especially girls, may say it's Edward Cullen but you're wrong of course!!! The most famous vampire is one guy from Transylvania called Count Dracula. 
Some people believe he used to live in the middle of Carpatian Mountains in his castle located on Borgo Pass
Dracula's Castle 
Well, Words Club is waiting for you! Come and meet...

Stardust

Hi everyone!

Have you ever heard of Neil Gaiman? He's one of my favourite writers. Last Thursday we watched 20 minutes of the film which was based on Neil Gaiman's book titled "Stardust". The title of the film is the same.
That's a pity we didn't have time to watch more.
I hope it'll go better next time.



Here you can watch the trailer of the film:

I really recommend you the book. I know you like reading and you read a lot. I'm sure you'll love it! Look for it in the library or in the bookshop 
Read about Neil Gaiman here: What does Wikipedia know about N. Gaiman :-)
If you are interested in the topic and want to learn more about the writer have a look at his official homepage:

May it be

Hi hobbits!
What a beautiful song! What a great film! I seriously hope you all have watched it! If not, it's an unforgivable mistake!
Unfortunately nobody guessed the title of the song. However, Ola Fitas was very near the answer.


Enjoy the video!

And this is the lyrisc of the song:
May it be an evening star

Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Mornie utulie (Darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadow's call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utulie (Darkness has come) 
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (Darkness has fallen) 
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now
