SCOTLAND – THE LAND OF LEGENDS
Scotland is in the north of Great Britain. It is famous for its rich culture as well as its
amazing natural beauty. Visitors to this land can spend endless days exploring its
historic centuries-old castles. But be aware – legend says that some of them are
haunted by ghosts. Fun-lovers can experience its world-famous festival, the Highland

Games where they can enjoy unique Scottish activities such as the piping, drumming,
and dancing. They can also see traditional sports, or drink whisky with the local
people. Driving through vast green pastures, or boating on scenic lakes – or lochs – are
other attractions that Scottish offers.
The great people of this legendary land have also given many of the world’s important
inventions like the telephone, the television, penicillin and the raincoat. Edinburgh, the
capital, was the first city in the world to have its own fire brigade in 1824. Edinburgh
University welcomed the first female medical student in Great Britain in 1969.

Part 2: Read the paragraph and decide whether the statements are true (T) or
false (F)
There are three main kinds of pollution – air pollution, water pollution, and noise
pollution. Air, which is the most important element of our environment for our
survival, can be polluted in many ways. Smoke in the air from mills, factories, and
industry contains carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane, which are all
poisonous gases. This leads to health problems like asthma and lung diseases, and the
thinning of the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful UV rays. China, the USA,
Russia, India, Mexico, and Japan are the world leaders in air pollution emissions.
Water is also polluted by the discharge of commercial and industrial waste into surface
water. Sewage in drinking water is another cause of water pollution as it contains
germs and viruses. The noise of vehicles, mills and factories can be really unbearable.

This kind of constant sound also causes headaches, tension, mental stress, and
migraines. People living next to a building site where there is too much noise can
become sick, as they cannot sleep or relax. This is called noise pollution.
