There is an example at the beginning (0). Last summer, an expedition set out (0)
solve one of the world's strangest mysteries. Legend
has it that a monster lives at the bottom of Loch Ness in Scotland, a monster which (1)
have
been there ever since the last ice age - nobody knows for sure. Over the years, there have been many
sightings, but no conclusive evidence. That's why the expedition was organized, (2)
prove,
once and for all, whether 'Nessie' was real or not.
The expedition's scientists used a glass-bottomed boat (3)
that they could look deep into
the dark waters of the loch (toch is a Scottish word for lake). They also brought with them a lot of
sophisticated equipment (4)
photographing and scanning the bottom of the lake. Of course,
none of the scientists really expected to find Nessie. 'A fish as large as a monster (5)
survive in a loch this size,' said expedition leader, Mike Dart. 'And any dinosaurs in the lake (6)
have died out millions of years ago. Still, despite this doubt, the expedition went ahead.
The truth was that the story of searching for Nessie was largely an attempt (7)
create
interest and bring in sponsorship. We aren't doing this (8)
fun, said Mike, at the time.
We're mapping the loch so (9)
people will know exactly what's down there. This will help
with protecting the lake.'
Even so, many people continue to believe, with absolute certainty, that a monster (10)
living deep down at the bottom of the loch.
