UNIT 5 - British horror histories

British Horror Histories
People like to be stared. They love reading horror stories and watching horror movies.
Some of the most famous horror stories were written by British writes. One of them put two great horror
characters together when Frankenstein met Count Dracula. Count Dracula was a vampire created in 1897.

Bram Stoker got the idea for Dracula while he was sitting Highgate Cemetery in North London.
Sunlight fell on a crack in the lid of a tomb.
Dracula is so popular that visitors to London can go on a guided Dracula tour.

The vampire was not drinking Mina's blood. Dracula was holding Mina's face to a long cut on his chest.
The vampire turned his head. His eyes burned with a terrible red light.
Blood was dripping from his red lips and long withe teeth.
The vampire had already taken his meal of blood!

UNIT 4 - The law

The law
The most famous police station in Britain is New Scotland Yard in London., but there are police stations all over the country.
They've all got a blue light outside to show they are police stations.
For most people the police are the face of the law.
We visited a new police station in Lewisham, an area in south-east London. This is the custody room of the police station. A suspected criminal is being charged with a crime.
Next their take fingerprints to check the person's identity.

Next day he went to court. Here three magistrates listen to evidence from the police and witnesses.
They then decide if the person in guilty or not guilty.

The evidence that the police collect from a crime scene is analysed in laboratories like this.
They can examine and analyse material from the crime scene.
Fingerprints are a good of identifying people but DNA is more reliable.
