Hello Hivers and Bibliophiles all around the block!
This time we’re doing something different. It’s a fun contest to promote reading comprehension and language learning as well as literary appreciation. We know that we have very diverse readers who speak multiple languages and We're excited to encourage you to expand your linguistic horizons.
After all, reading isn’t just about reading but also understanding the words that weave a story together. While English serves as the lingua franca in our community , we invite you to embrace the opportunity to enhance your language skills and explore the world of storytelling from a newer perspective.
For this contest, we are featuring @litguru who is known to write creative fiction and art on hive. This time his work titled The Technologies of God features complex words and is quite descriptive. You can learn so much from reading his work. If you're an ESL (English as Second Language) reader, @litguru works provide a story that will undoubtedly enhance and enrich your vocabulary. Make sure to check his works even once this contest ends!
You can find the story that you will need below!

As usual, to keep the contest organized, we will have some simple rules listed here:
- Choose 10 of the most difficult English vocabulary according to you in the story
- For each selected vocabulary word, translate it in your native language. If there’s no translation for it, then it’s called “Untranslatability” and please mention that there’s no equivalent of it in your language.
- You can use a dictionary and don’t forget to attach the link.
- Use the word that you choose and create a short story based on it.
- The minimum is 250 words and not translated.
- Include tag #lostintranslation and #hivebookclub in your post.
Prizes
The first winner will get 10 hive
The second winner will get 5 Hive
The third winner 2.5 Hive
Good luck!

Hive Book Club is a community made by book lovers, for book lovers. A place where the chaotic minds of writers may punch away words from their keyboards as they share their writing adventures. Where the passionate book collectors may rummage through their stacks of books to share and review their latest additions. Outside of our regular curation process, we may create contests for our community to participate in, and earn even more from their posts. If you have a certain theme for a future contest you would like to see, let us know! Be sure to check with us frequently in our various social media platforms to avoid missing out!
