Упражнение 2. Выберите подходящий вариант.
Nessie
Have you ever heard of the Loch Ness Monster? Many people believe that there is a huge animal
(living/lived) in Loch Ness in Scotland.
The animal is about 50 metres long (including/included ) its tail. Nobody knows anything about its
(eating / eaten) habits. There are some photos of the animal (taking/ taken) by different people
(visiting/ visited) the lake, but nobody can prove that they are real.
This animal (giving/ given) the nickname Nessie has been one of the greatest tourists attractions to the
area for years. Expeditions (sent / sending) to Scotland tried very hard to find and catch Nessie. And so
did individuals (looking/ looked) for the animal. But there has been no result yet.
Nessie is still a great mystery. Very few things (knowing/ known ) about Nessie are: it has a long and
thin neck like a giraffe’s, its head is quite small and looks like a horse’s, its colour is dark yellow and its
habitat is the deepest and the coldest part of the lake.
