1.Read the text quickly to find the description of a monster some people say they have seen.
Loch Ness Monster
In the north of Scotland there is a very famous lake – Lock Ness. It is not the largest lake in Britain, but it is thirty-five kilometers long. The water of the lake is dark and always very cold. And Loch Ness is full of fish.
There cannot be many people who have not heard of the Loch Ness monster. For many years there have been reports of unusual large animals in the lake. There are many stories about the water monster “Nessie”. One of them says, for example, that one Sunday morning a young woman looked out of the dining-room window of the house near the lake and saw in the waters of Loch Ness the “largest animal I have ever seen”. It had, she said later, a giraffe-like neck, a very small head and a great dark grey body.
Is the monster a fact or fiction?
One of the theories about the Loch Ness monster is that these animals in the North Sea, but came to the lake to produce their young in it. After volcanic action in this area, some of them could not come back to the North Sea and stayed in Loch Ness. They continued to live there.
People who say that have seen the monster describe it as an animal with a small head, a long neck and a large body.
Year after year thousands of tourists come to Lock Ness, put their tents and watch the lake in the hope that one of the animals will come up.
A lot is written and said about the monster, and for some people Nessie is good business: shirts with “Nessie” on them, books about the monster, picture postcards and souvenirs are sold to thousands of visitors every year.
The Loch Ness monster is a real attraction for people from all parts of Britain and from many other countries.
Let us hope, however, that scientist will be able to say whether the Loch Ness monster is a fact or fiction.
