Hello students!! You must watch this video about interesting information about Ireland. After watching it think about four facts that you have just discovered and record your voice in a short speaking using the free and easy-to-use audio editor for Windows AUDACITY. You have to post it on the blog.

Some of the most famous symbols of Ireland are:

The Tri-Color Flag. The Irish Flag is composed of three colored stripes : green (the Catholic population), white (harmony and unity) and orange (the Irish Protestants).

Shamrock. Shamrock is an unofficial symbol of Ireland. When asked to name some Irish symbols, the shamrock is often the first that comes to mind. Not many, however, know much about the tiny plant’s varied and complicated history. The word comes from the Irish seamróg, which translates to “little clover” (the Irish word for clover is seamair, and óg means “young” or “little”).

Guinness is synonymous with Ireland and no visit to Dublin is complete without a trip to the Guinness Storehouse – the Home of Guinness.

The Leprechaun is one of Ireland’s more famous characters from Irish folklore who have become renowned all over the world. The mischievous Leprechaun has captured the imagination of millions of people over the years and there are tales from some of how they’ve sighted these wee folk in the Irish countryside.
