An Taigh-tasgaidh – Museum of Natural History
If you choose to do the museum tour as a listening exercise in which
you do not wish to let pupils follow the text, below is a copy of the full
transcript and questions.
Cheannaich m’ athair ticeadan air an eadar-lìon, agus mar sin cha robh
sinn a’ feitheamh fada aig an doras. Chosg na ticeadan còig notaichea n
gach duine airson faighinn a-steach.
B’ e a’ chiad taisbeanadh a chunnaic sinn, taisbeanadh nan dìneasa ir.
Chòrd seòmar nan dìneasair rium math dha-rìreabh!
Bha dìneasairean mòr agus àrd ann. Bha beul mòr air gach dìneasair
agus bha na fiaclan aca fada agus biorach! Bha na sùilean aca mòr agus
cruinn agus bha iad a’ còimhead fiadhaich. Bha an t-eagal orm!
B’ e an dara taisbeanadh a chunnaic sinn, taisbeanadh de dhiofar
bheathaichean. Bha diofar èisg, losgainn, damhain-allaidh agus
nathraichean rim faicinn. Bha tòrr de na creutairean sin puinnseanach!
Chunnaic sinn taisbeanadh air na h-Innseannaich Dhearga a bha a’
fuireach ann an Ameireaga a Tuath. Bha na daoine seo a’ marbhadh
bheathaichean airson biadh.
Chunnaic sinn cuid de na h-innealan a bha aca airson beathaichean a
mharbhadh, mar sginean, boghan agus saigheadan. Bha na daoine seo
ag ithe crodh, iasg agus diofar lusan.
Anns an t-seòmar mu dheireadh chunnaic sinn tòrr dhealain-dè. Bha
dealain-dè ann de dh’iomadh dath cuideachd le sgiathan mòr agus
brèagha.
B’ e latha trang a bh’ ann ach bha e inntinneach. Chaidh sinn
dhachaigh sgìth!
