“A LANGUAGE IS LEARNED IN THE COUNTRY WHERE IT IS SPOKEN”

Killarney

First Day, landed!

Day 1

Monday, 28th

In the morning Brid gave us a test to know our English level, it was very easy, there were: a description a little bit difficult and grammar. Then we had breakfast, and after that we played a long English game, but it was very funny.

 To play the game you have to say a letter and all the players have to write: an animal, a country, a food or a drink, a noun, a verb and an adjective that begins with this letter. After that, the player who has more points is the winner.

Later, we had lunch fast because we had to visit the downtown of Killarney. There we caught a jaunting car and we arrived to a castle and to the “learn luck lake” (we think it’s this the name of the lake). There is a legend of this castle, this legend is about a woman in the medium age. This woman knew that their unfriendlies were coming to destroy the castle, so she warned the knights jumping out the Tower. Now , people says that in the castle lives a ghost (the woman). The castle and the lake are beautiful. After that, we went to different shops to buy Ireland Souvenirs for the family, friends… And we saw lots of things!!!

It was a funny and fantastic day!!!

Day 2

Today we went to visit a lot of places. First we went by taxi to the national park, and we saw beautiful things. We saw a waterfall called "Torc waterfall ", to arrive, we had to walk through a mountain called "Muckross" . The vegetation was very green and the air was very clean. After the walk we went to Muckross House, we had a guide who explained us the history of the house. Then we went to have lunch and after lunch we went to visit a farm. At the farm, we saw a lot of animals and we learned how the people lived in the past. In the poor houses we saw how they made bread and in the rich houses we saw how they made butter.Today it was a great day because we learned a lot, we had a good time together and it was a sunny day.
