Hanging out 

R. Jordania

In american cities, teenagers like to spend time together – “hang out”, as they say – at drugstore, luncheonettes, or ice cream parlors.
Often, they don’t even meet inside, but gather on the sidewalk in front of the store. From time to time they go in for coffee, milk, ice cream. They also like to play the pinball machines. 
Most parents disapprove of their children’s “hanging out” that way. They consider it a waste of time, which could be better used doing homework, working at a part-time job, or helping in the house. 

Adapted from life in the USA.

Read text II and answer question.


Loch Ness is a lake (or ‘loch’ in Scottish Gaelic) located in the Highlands of Scotland, near Inverness. People say there is a monster in it, which is called Nessie.

In 1933, George Spicer described that he saw Nessie and it was a "dragon1'. It was 4 feet high, 25 feet long and had a long neck.

In 1934, Robert Kenneth Williams took the first photo of the Loch Ness Monster’s neck and head. This photo was published in the Daily Mail newspaper in April 1934. Around 1994, the photo was declared to be a hoax. 

In 1934, Edward Mountain sent an expedition to Loch Ness from 9 am to 6 pm every day, for 5 weeks. They never found any evidence of the Monster.

In 2003, the BBC TV network made a show that did a detailed search of Loch Ness. They found nothing and concluded that the Monster was a myth.

TEXT I 

There's nowhere like Scotland. Scotland is a country in a country. It is part of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), and of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).

Scotland is in the far northwest of Europe, between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. It is often cold and grey, and it often rains a lot. But the people of Scotland love their country, and many visitors to Scotland love it too. They love the beautiful hills and mountains of the north, the sea and the eight hundred islands, and the six cities: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and Stirling. The country is special, and Scottish people are special too: often warm and friendly.

There are about five million people in Scotland. Most Scots live in the south, in or near the big cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Most of the north of the country is very empty; not many people live there.

A Scottish person is also called a Scot, but you cannot talk about a Scotch person: Scotch means whisky, a drink made in Scotland. Scottish people are British, because Scotland is part of Great Britain, but you must not call Scottish people English! The Scots and the English are different.

These days everyone in Scotland speaks English. But, at one time, people in the north and west of Scotland did not speak English. They had a different language, a beautiful language called Gaelic. About 60,000 people, 1% of the people in Scotland, speak Gaelic now. But many more want Gaelic in their lives because it is part of the story of Scotland.
