are true for her?
I lived in a large house. X She lived in a small house.

My mother's house is in the village of Kardiani. The house is about 100

years old. My family is big - six brothers and sisters and my mother (my
father died when I was 12). It was a small house for seven people. It's got a
big living room and two bedrooms. We slept in the bedrooms and the living
room. The bathroom was, and still is, outside. It was so cold in winter!
Now, I live in my husband's village. I'm near my mother, but not too near!
It's a new house, and it's got lots of space, a beautiful kitchen, and a large
balcony. We've got heating (which my mother's house hasn't) and a large,
comfortable bathroom inside! Unfortunately, we haven't got a very good
view. There's another house opposite us, so we can't see the mountains.

 Reading
Read this description of Scottish traditional dress and label the photograph .

I T he tartan kilt has long been the traditional dress in

Scotland. Different tartans belong to different
clans or families. The first time that everyone in a clan
started to wear the same tartan was in 1618. One of
the most famous tartans is the Black Watch Tartan,
which was designed in 1 740 especially for the Black
Watch regiment. The modern kilt that we can see
today was made in the 1800s. It i·s not as big and
heavy as the original kilt or 'philabeg', as it was
called. Nowadays, all Scots can find the tartan for
I their own clan or family.

Scotsmen traditionally wear the kilt with a jacket, a

white shirt, thick socks and black leather shoes.
Round their waists they wear a sporran (a kind of
purse) and in one sock they wear a traditional dirk (a
smalt knife). On their heads they sometimes wear a
I
beret. Women wear tartan too, but not with a
sporran or a dirk. Many wear a simple white dress
with a tartan plaid.

Nowadays, you don't see kilts every day, but men still
I
wear them for weddings, dances, and rugby matches.

Writing
What is the traditional costume in your country? Is it
different for men and women? When do people wear
these clothes? Write a short description of the costume.
