1 PROFESSOR: EQUIPE DE INGLÊS BANCO DE QUESTÕES - INGLÊS 8º ANO - ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL ============================================================================================= 01- Read the text about the Lock Ness Lake and answer the questions below: Loch Ness is a lake between the Scottish towns of Inverness and Fort Augustus. The word loch is Scottish for lake. Loch Ness is about 37 km long and extremely deep, the deepest part is 226 m. Loch Ness is famous for its friendly monster, Nessie. Most people think that this is only a legend, but every year tourists from all over the world come to Loch Ness and hope that they will see the monster. The first written story of the monster is in a text written in the year 565 AD by a Celtic biographer: this writer describes how a man was attacked by a monster while he was swimming in the Loch Ness Lake. Perhaps the legend already existed in those days: it has certainly existed for many centuries in Scottish folklore. However, the story of the monster was not very well-known in England for one simple reason: Loch Ness is a very long way from the rest of Britain. Until the age of the railway, very few people ever went to the Highlands of Scotland... Except soldiers or officials from the cities of the Scottish Lowlands. No-one else had any reason to go there: the North of Scotland was wild and desolate, wet and generally cold, and inhabited more by sheep than by people. The myth became big news in 1930; three men, out in a boat on the lake, said that they had seen a monster. Immediately, several other people said that they had seen one too. In 1933, a man took the first "photo" of the monster, from a distance of about 100 metres. It was not clear, but Kodak said that the photo was real. The most famous photo of all was taken in 1934 by a London surgeon; it seems to show a long neck and a small head sticking up out of the water. "Nessie" if the photo is real looks something like a dinosaur. A lot of other photos have been taken since then, but none of them have been clear. Obviously, if there is a monster, it is a shy one! It doesn't often come to the surface, and it never does so near the shore on a sunny afternoon in summer! If it had done so, lots of people would have taken photos of it, and there would be no more mystery. Until now it has tried to avoid publicity if it exists! In 1987, some people used sonar equipment to try to discover Nessie but they found nothing. So no-one has proved that the Loch Ness monster exists; but no-one can prove that it does not exist. It's a great story. a) What is Loch Ness famous for? b) Why, in the beginning, wasn t the story of the lake so well known in England? c) What was the north of Scotland like until the age of the railway? d) When did the story of the monster become public?
