ORAL PRESENTATION

IRELAND

In my oral presentation I will talk about Ireland, the island that is next to the United Kingdom.
When we think in Ireland we imagine beer, pubs of wood, the clover and the Irish gnome that wear with green.
The island is divided in the Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

HISTORY

Ireland is an ancient land with a lot of history.The ancestors of the Irish people were Celts, and they were Pagans, and we know a little bit of them because the Celts couldn't write anything about their culture. At the 4th century a. C the Irish people were converted to the Catholic religion for Saint Patrick, and today, they celebrate the day of Saint Patrick, the 17th May.
In this Island live approximately 4 million people. In 1841 the population were of 6 million people, and after the Great Irish Famine the population were of 5 million people, and came down for years, but in the 60's and 70's the population started to rise.



The official language was the Irish language, but after the conquest of England in the middle age, the official language was the English. And again, After the Irish revolution, the official language is the Irish again and the English too, but is secondary. And now is the Republic of Ireland.


Some of the traditional foods is the Irish stew, the boxty and the coddle.The Irish people are famous for drink a lot, and the most famous beer is the Guinness
