<h3 style="text-align: justify;" id="reading">Reading</h3> <h4 style="text-align: justify;">1. Discuss the questions. Then read the passage.</h4> <p style="text-align: justify;">1. Where is Scotland?</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">2. What is this land famous for?</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SCOTLAND - THE LAND OF LEGENDS</strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">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 Scotland offers.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">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 1869.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/uploads/tinymce/u8-l5-1-1-hkbxekflujmtjkwi81f-1669235443.jpg.webp" width="1042" height="426" alt="hinh-anh-skills-1-2331-0" title="hinh-anh-skills-1-2331-0" loading="lazy"></p><div> <div class="ads-horizontal-wrapped" style="height: auto !important; min-height: 0px !important;">
