 11. When you think of the Irish, you often picture a red-haired person dressed all in green. However, it's just a popular myth which has grown into a tradition, particularly in the United States. It's customary in Ireland to wear green clothes only on St. Patrick's Day. Lots of people are tricked by this cliche. However, originally, the colour associated with Saint Patrick was not green, but blue.

 12. In Ireland, the colour green was long considered to bring bad fortune. The reason is that in Irish folklore green is the favourite color of the Good People (the proper name for fairies). Myths run that they are likely to steal people, especially children, who wear too much of the colour. In the past, a girl would never wear anything green on her wedding day.

 13. Christmas is a very important celebration in Ireland. After dinner on Christmas Eve, it is common for families to leave milk and bread on the table as a sign of friendliness and kindness. Another custom is to leave the door unlocked. A lit candle is left in a window during the night. It represents help for any traveller who is passing by.

 14. Potatoes form the basis for many traditional Irish dishes. They are eaten boiled,mashed, fried, baked, you name it. Potatoes are mixed with cabbage or green onions to make traditional Irish dishes. They are also made into potato cakes and used in soups or stews. It’s common to find potatoes cooked in two different ways on the same dinner plate.

 15. The shamrock is still a popular sign of good fortune in Ireland. It is believed that anyone who possesses one will be blessed with fortune in everything, even in gambling, and will be saved from the evil of witches. There are certain conditions to be met so that its power remains effective: the owner of the shamrock must keep it away from the public eye and never give it to anyone else.

 16. The name Gulliver is known to everyone due to the book or the film about the fantastic trip of the English doctor. However, not all of us remember the name of the author — Jonathan Swift, an Irish writer, who was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1667. In his book Gulliver’s Travels a man went to an island where strange tiny people lived. His life there was full of adventures and dangers, he met there friends and enemies.

 17. Ireland is known as the native land of limericks — short humorous poems that have five lines. They make people laugh and are easy to remember! Lots of poets and writers were fond of limericks. The word “limerick” probably comes from the Irish town of Limerick. The short poem has made the town known all over the world.

KEYS

1. Аудирование.

Speaker A. I love sports. But I’ve never been very extreme. Recently my friend had a ski holyday it the mountains. But I chose to stay at home. First: I hate cold. I don’t enjoy staying outdoors longer than half an hour. Second: I found ski boots so heavy and uncomfortable. And the last but the main reason: is that I could fall over and hurt myself.

Speaker B. I think that winter is the best season of the year and I take every opportunity to do winter sports. I like skiing best of all. First of all it’s very exciting to ski down the slope. Lots of people from different places go to skiing and I like to meet new friends. And finally, when you ski you enjoy the wonderful nature, the beautiful landscape and the fresh air of the mountains.

Speaker C. I sometimes go to the ski resorts with my friends. However, when I first tried this sport it was a great failure. I spent about half an hour putting the boots on! They were heavy, and it was difficult to move in them. Anyway, I got to the hill and fastened the skies and started to slide down! I wasn’t able to stop! It was really frightened. At last, I fell over and stopped. Very painful.

Speaker D. I ski quite serious and I often take part in different competitions: local, national, international. Safety is very important for this sport. Apart from quality skies, good boots are important. They should be strong and high to protect the ankles. The helmet is also necessary. I also wear sport glasses and the skiing mask to protect my face from the sun, the wind and the snow.

Speaker E. When we go skiing we always stay in one and the same hotel, it’s in a very beautiful place in the mountains and sometimes even the international competitions are held there. Apart from several ski centers where we hire skies there are restaurants there and medical center, different souvenir shops and several ski-lifts that can take you up to the top of the mountains very quikly.

Speaker A. I like family celebrations, when several generations gather around the table and talk and exchange news. My grandmother and I usually make a large apple pie. Everyone in the family loves it. It’s a traditional recipe. To make the apples taste fresh and stay crispy we add some lemon juice with sugar and vanilla. It’s also important to take the pie out of the iron in time.

Speaker B. it was warm and sunny last weekend and we were glad to spend a couple of days outdoors. We went to a bus trip in a nearby town famous for its parks and a large fruit garden. The garden looks fantastic and most of the apple trees are in blossom. In a café we enjoyed some fruit tea with the delicious apple pie.

Speaker C. I used to do swimming and cycling but now I’ve got new interests in life. I start drawing. I go to the art school and I like it very much. Today we drew a still life. There are different things like fruits, flowers and other house art objects. We drew a vase with apples. I never thought it could be so difficult to make the apples look realistic on the picture.

Speaker D. my mom always says that the food we eat should be not only tasty but good for our bodies too. That’s why she includes lot’s of fruits and vegetables in our menu. She prefers local season fruits to exotic ones. And believes that there is nothing better than green apples from our garden. An apple a day keeps a doctor away, she says. And I think she is right.

Speaker E. when I was little I spent lots of time in my granny’s. she and her neighbour had large gardens which makes the village look fantastic. I wanted to be a gardener to take care of flowers, cherry and apple trees as I enjoyed it very much. I also wanted to grew some more beautiful flower and give it my grannies name – Nancy. But that never came true. I work as a sales manager in a telephone company now.
