Question

【題目】 In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 metres deep, it is one of the largest lakes in the UK. People say a big monster(怪獸) lives in its dark, cold waters.

It weighs more than 1, 000 kilos and is at least ten metres long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.

The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend(傳說). The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in the middle of the lake. Since then, a number of people have said that they have seen a monster in Loch Ness.

Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax(騙局). During the 1960s,a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster. There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn’t live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.
