Prince Charles to visit the Scottish Borders for

environmental charity
Prince Charles will visit the Scottish Borders to officially
open the new offices of an environmental charity.

The Duke of Rothesay, as he is known north of the border,

is expected to take part in a number of engagements on
Friday around Hawick, St Boswells and Melrose.

He will open the new offices of Tweed Forum - a charity

dedicated to protecting and conserving the River Tweed
and its surroundings - near Melrose.

Charles will meet those involved with the charity, which involves farmers, foresters,
landowners and ghillies working with public and private sector bodies on both sides of the
border to help restore the river, boost fish stocks and attract tourists.

A herd of sheep is also expected to be present at the event, during which Charles will unveil
a plaque to mark the official opening of the new offices.

James Hepburne Scott, Tweed Forum chairman, said: "We are delighted that His Royal
Highness will officially open Tweed Forum's new offices and are greatly looking forward to
telling him about our partnership approach to the management of the river, which is
delivering significant environmental benefits.

"Together with all of our partners, we share a passion for this important river and it will be a
privilege to tell His Royal Highness about the work we carry out to protect and conserve it."
Charles is also expected to visit Hawick town centre, where he will go to various businesses
and meet local people.

Among the landmarks to be seen is the horse statue, which commemorates the victory of
local youths over English invaders at nearby Hornshole in 1514.

Section E: Reading Comprehension

Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or
simply "Santa", is a figure which was derived from the Dutch figure of
Sinterklaas, a historical, legendary and mythological figure who in many
Western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children
during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24
or on his Feast Day, December 6 (Saint Nicholas Day).The legend is based on
the tales concerning the historical figure of gift giver Saint Nicholas.

While Saint Nicholas was originally portrayed wearing bishop's robes, today
Santa Claus is generally depicted as a plump, jolly, white-bearded man
wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and
black leather belt and boots (images of him rarely have a beard with no
mustache). This image became popular in the United States and Canada in
the 19th century due to the significant influence of caricaturist and political
cartoonist Thomas Nast. This image has been maintained and reinforced
through song, radio, television, and films. In the United Kingdom and
Europe, he is often depicted in a manner identical to the American Santa
Claus, but he is commonly called Father Christmas.
