Hey,
today we first warmed up about cultural facts and clichés in Ireland. Here is what we said:
Ireland is divided into two parts. Northern Ireland which belongs to the UK and the Republic of Ireland which is independent. It's called the "emerauld isle" because it's green. There are many gorgeous landscapes.
The symbols of the nation are green like the three-leaf-shamrock.
Saint Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick's day is celebrated on March 17th.
Irish people are said / believed to drink a lot. Guillaume's uncle is Irish and he confirms his uncle is a drunkard. = ) They are said to fight a lot and be hooligans. They are believed to be read heads. It is said that there are more sheep than people. They are said to like beer and specially the Guiness because "Guiness is good for you". They are said to like partying.
Legend has it that / The rumour has it that / leprechauns have a pot of gold at the bottom of the rainbow.
Then Alexandre had to draw a picture thanks to your directions. Here is his work of art =) and what we said about the video we watched:
The last picture is a symbol for peace and freedom. Contrary to the other paintings, it is colourful. It's a symbol for hope in the future whereas the other murals represent events in the past. On those pictures, we could see many demonstrators.
HW: For after the holidays, you will need to have learnt the timeline I gave you. You can download it again here:
You can watch the video with sound here:
