BR4 Ireland

I read Ireland book. There are many different Ireland. One Ireland is a country with beautiful high mountains, big empty beaches, and long deep rivers. People go to fish and swim and walk. Ireland is very quiet country so people love this country and people are very friendly. Another Ireland is a country of stories and music. Most Irish people can sing, and many famous musicians are Irish. Ireland is an island. It is higher on the outside than in the center. The center of Ireland has full of beautiful lakes and rivers. Ireland’s largest lake is Lough Neagh. Its longest river is the Shannon. This river is 260 kilometers. The highest mountain is Carrantouhill. This mountain is 1040 meters.
In1795 and 1798 the Irish, with the help of French ships and soldiers, fought the British. But the British won, and many Irishmen –mostly Catholics- were killed.
Ireland has four big cities. Cork is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland. In 820 the Vikings attacked a Christian monastery here, and then stayed to build a town by the River Lee. 123,000 people lives here today, and the city of Cock is famous for music, dancing, theatre, and film. Many visitors come here too, on their way to the beautiful south west of Ireland. In 2005 Cock was the European Capital of Culture. Londonderry, or Derry, with a population of 105,000, is the second city of Northern Ireland. Galway, with a population of 65,800 is in the west of Ireland, at the mouth of the river Corrib. In this part of the country the Irish language is very strong, and you will see it and hear it everywhere. Waterford, with a population of 45,000 is in the south east of Ireland. It was Ireland’s first city; the Viking came here in the 850s, and they came back in 914 to make the city.
I think Ireland has very big nature. I want to go to Ireland.
