Speaker A. Although I was born in Scotland, I've been living in Birmingham for a long time. I still go to Scotland from time to time. My friends don't understand why I love going to Scotland so much. Being raised predominantly in an urban area, they don't understand how gorgeous Scottish landscapes are. Scotland has stunning rivers and lakes, and Scottish mountains can just take your breath away. You can go on a hike and admire what you see for days on end.
Speaker B. My uncle lives in Scotland, and I try to visit him whenever I can. We travel to various places of interest there. Scotland has so many of them. There are ruins of ancient castles and fields of fierce battles, and I love to wander there, imagining what it was really like back then. I close my eyes, and it seems to me I can see the Scottish knights on horseback. My uncle tells me a lot of exciting stories from the past, and I remember them much better than our school lessons.
Speaker C. I love Scotland. There are so many beautiful and mysterious stories connected with this country. Some of them are connected with kings and queens of the past, while others tell us about various mythical creatures, like Nessie. I think everybody has heard about this water monster. Some people even claim to have seen it, and I tend to think it is true. Some scientists think there is more than one monster there. Wouldn't it be great to solve this puzzle one day?
Speaker D. I think people love Scotland for different reasons. Some of them adore Scottish history while others explore its beautiful nature. As for me, I love Scotland too. My roommate comes from Scotland and I sometimes spend a day or two there at his parents’ place. We usually go to a pub or restaurant because Scottish national cuisine just makes my mouth water. My personal favorite is certainly haggis, though scones and soups are also great.
Speaker E. If you ask me, I think all those stories about Scotland as a beautiful country full of ancient castles and mysterious legends is just an exaggeration. I went on a tour to Scotland and I wasn't impressed at all. All those ruins are just ruins. Most of them are in a terrible state. I must say, Scottish food is too greasy for me. As for all those legends like the one of the water monster Nessie, well, honestly, I don't think a sensible person can believe such stuff.
Speaker F. In my opinion, going to Scotland is a must for everybody. Where else will you see so many amazing things? If you are more about art, you can go to the Scottish National Gallery. Edinburgh Castle will enable you to see many things you will see nowhere else. Finally, there are men in kilts and they play the bagpipes. It produces a lasting impression on tourists. Scottish traditions, food and architecture are unforgettable, so don't miss a chance to go there.
