Hello everyone
Today I want to tell you a little bit about my country. I come from Ireland which is in the North West of Europe. The population of the island is slightly over 6 million, with 4.4 million in the Republic of Ireland. Our capital city is Dublin.
We speak two languages in Ireland; English and Irish (or Gaelic). The weather is warm in Summer but very cool in Winter. The west coast can be very windy and rainy because of the Atlantic Ocean.
Many famous writers and poets come from Ireland. (William Butler Yeats, Samuel Beckett, James Joyce).
Traditional music is very popular in Ireland. Most children learn how to play an instument when they go to school. Traditional Irish dancing is also a very important part of our culture. All school children learn to dance from a young age.
The most popular sports in Ireland are Gaelic Football and Hurling. (They are both Irish sports.) Every Sunday, families from all around the country go to the matches or stay home and watch their team on TV.
Ireland has many many beautiful places to visit. The views are spectacular and everywhere is so green!
People usually eat warm/hot food like soup and stews because of the cold weather. Ireland is particularly famous for its Irish stew!
Please come and visit and I promise I’ll buy you a pint of Guinness :)
