Scotland

Do you know (1) about Scotland? I expect you know (2) but perhaps not everything! It is part of the United States although many years ago it was a separate country. The two largest cities are Edinburgh,the capital, and Glasgow. Many people live in these cities but of course not (3) . In the north of the country are the Highlands, a very wild area, which are important for sheep farming. The climate is very

harsh so not (4) can grow there, but the hills and streams are very beautiful. Some people say (5) is more beautiful than looking our over the Highlands. The Lowlands are further south where the land is more fertile and there is more industry. In Scotlands there are many lakes which are called lochs. Loch Ness is a very deep one, famous for its monster called Nessie! Although (6) has actually seen the monster, (7) has taken photographs that he says show part of the monster. Other people say this looks (8) like a monster and that no monster could possibly survive in the cold water of Loch Ness because there would be (9) for it to eat. Many tourists go to Loch Ness hoping to see (10) in the water that might be the monster. Scotland is also famous for its music, which (11) can recognize easily as it is played on bagpipes. (12) can forget the sound of bagpipes!

she he I it you they themParty Games

One of my favourite party game is ‘pass the parcel’. Before the guests arrive, you have to find a small present and wrap (1) up in many layers of wrapping paper. When all the guests have arrived, you ask (2) to sit in a circle on the floor and (3) ask someone who isn’t playing the game to play some music. While (4) is playing, the parcel is passed around. For example, if I start, (5) pass (6) to my neighbour, and

(7) or she passes (8) to his or her neighbour. When the music stops, the person who is holding the parcel, takes one layer of wrapping paper off. The music starts again and everyone passes the parcel round again. This continues until the last person takes the last layer of paper off the parcel. Then he or (9) wins the little present which is inside.Another party game with music is ‘musical chairs’. Whenthe music stops (10) must find a chair and sit on (11) . The person who has not got a chair to sit on, is out. The music starts again and another chair is removed. This is repeated until only one chairis left. The winner is the person who is sitting on (12) at the end!
