When my friend asked me about my holidays this year and where I was going, she was surprised by my answer. ‘I’m not going anywhere’, I told her. ‘Why would I, when I live in this beautiful country?’ I’m talking about Ireland, of course – my country.

OK, so everybody knows Ireland is not famous for its fantastic weather. It rains a lot – it sometimes rains every day in summer, and it can be cold then, too! But that helps to make the country so green. Some people say Ireland is the greenest country in the world. Anyway, a little rain isn’t a big problem. We can put on our jackets, can’t we?

Ireland has beautiful beaches. You can find these lovely beaches everywhere, and they’re usually very quiet. You see, even in summer, Ireland isn’t too busy. People visit from other countries and Irish people take their holidays, too, but there is enough beach for everyone. When you go to some beaches in Ireland, you can see only one or two people on a horse or walking with their dog.

Irish people are also great. They love talking and make everyone feel welcome. If you ask someone for help with directions, that person can even take you to where you want to go! And while you’re going there, there will be lots to talk about.

For people who enjoy going out at night, Ireland is perfect! Irish people love going out for the evening, and you can find them in bars or cafés talking to their friends and having fun. These places are always noisy and full. Sometimes there’s music, too, and people start singing or doing traditional dancing. Irish people love that, and it’s always fun to watch!

So that’s what I’m doing this year! What about you? Why don’t you come over here?

1. Question
