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.

FRANK WHITTLE AND THE INVENTION OF THE JET ENGINE:
SIX PLACES TO TRACE HIS GENIUS
It was, in many ways, a very British sort of achievement. When the turbine began to spin on the “WU” – the prototype jet engine developed by the Coventry-born engineer Frank Whittle – it was a moment which changed the world. Had you been passing through the byways of Rugby, in Warwickshire, more than 80 years ago, you might even have heard it. A thrum of mechanics in sync, building and building, growing in intensity to become a roar; a giddy howl which would permanently alter the way we journey around our planet.
And yet it might so easily not have happened. Whittle’s triumph – on April 12, 1937 – was garnered in the face of official indifference and scientific doubt, and was only pulled off by a merest financial hair’s breadth, with the Second World War crowding in on all sides.
( . . . )
Here was a visionary who began fomenting his design for a jet engine as early as 1927, and patented it in 1930, yet had to swim against the current after seeing his idea pooh-poohed by the UK's Air Ministry – which, upon seeing the blueprint in 1929, deemed it “impracticable.”
Undeterred, Whittle took his own path. In January 1936, he founded a private company, Power Jets Ltd, with aeronautical engineer Rolf Dudley Williams and retired RAF officer James Collingwood Tinling. With £2,000 of funding from O.T. Falk & Partners – an investment bank which was known for taking risks – the trio began converting what had been decried as fantasy into reality. That first blur of blades as the WU (Whittle Unit) screamed into life was followed by a series of leaps forward.
The Air Ministry placed its first order for Whittle’s brainwave in January 1940. The first jet-powered British plane took off from RAF Cranwell, Lincolnshire, on May 15, 1941. The rest is so much history.
None of this occurred in isolation. The story of the jet engine can never be told without mentions of Maxime Guillaume, who secured a French patent for a jet engine with a gas turbine in 1921 (no prototype was ever produced as it was beyond the scope of existing technology), and of Hans Von Ohain, who beat Whittle to the punch by building the first fully operational jet engine in 1939 as Germany chased advantages in the global conflict.
