PLAYSCRIPT

There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.' Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism.

English for Tourism CD

Tento kurz je volným pokračováním oblíbeného titulu American English.

Je určen jak pro samostudium, kdy české komentáře umožňují komfortní využití pro samouka, tak pro skupinovou výuku v jazykových školách.

Struktura jednotlivých učebních bloků je stejná jako v titulu American English. Vedle úvodních článků, dialogů a gramatických vysvětlení i cvičení jsou v lekcích zařazeny anekdoty doprovázené ilustracemi, reálie týkající se anglicky mluvící Severní Ameriky a další specifika americké angličtiny.
