Dear all,

This letter is in English because I need to practise writing. Finn is helping me.

I’m having lots of fun in Dublin. It’s a great city! The people are friendly and my host family is fantastic, especially Finn. They’ve got a very nice house in the city centre. I can see Dublin Castle from my bedroom window.

From Monday to Friday I go to school with Finn and his sister. The school isn’t in the city centre. It takes twenty minutes to go by bus, but there’s lots to see on the journey. Dublin is so beautiful! There are parks and museums. There are some incredible bridges over the river. There’s a port. And, of course, there are lots of shopping centres. Fantastic! I love shopping!

Last Saturday, I was at the sports stadium for a pop concert. The music wasn’t very good but the stadium was amazing!

My favourite place in Dublin is the botanical garden. Wow! It’s gorgeous! I love looking at all the exotic plants.

See you soon.

Best wishes,

Ana

P.S. I hope you like the photos. The use of smiley faces can help you understand

how the writer feels.

Molly MaloneThe statue of Molly Malone in Dublin is famous. But who is Molly Malone?

Molly Malone is a character from a traditional song. Almost everyone in Ireland knows the song. Almost everyone in Ireland can sing it. And there are many professional recordings of the song. It is possibly one of the most famous and popular songs in the country.

The song tells Molly’s story. She is a beautiful girl who sells fresh seafood in Dublin. She doesn’t work in a shop. She sells the seafood from a wheelbarrow.

Later in the song, Molly dies of a fever. People miss her, but they believe that her ghost continues to walk in the streets of Dublin, crying Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!

Who are the most famous characters from books

or songs in your country?

Are there any traditional songs in your country which

everyone knows?

Can you imagine your life without teChnology?

4. APPS & SMARTPHONESI’m learning French. I haven’t got much time to practise. But now I’m learning words and

expressions with an app on my smartphone. It’s great because I can use it anywhere in the city.

5. ONLINE SHOPPING

1. SATNAV 2. TABLETSWe use a tablet to go online. We look up the opening times of shops and museums. We also find out

what’s on at the cinema and what time the films start. It’s easier, cheaper and quicker than a phone call.

teChnology in the city

Technology plays an important part in our lives today. Five people from Dublin tell us how they use technology in the city.

I’m lucky. I’ve got a small laptop. I use it to send emails and to chat to my friends. I can now

do those things in the city centre because there are lots of places with free wifi zones: cafés, the library, parks, etc. I like using my laptop in the park. I can do my homework and get fresh air at the same time!

3. WIFI ZONES & LAPTOPSI’m a taxi driver in Dublin. I’ve got satnav in the taxi. I use it to find addresses in the city. It also tells me if

there are any traffic problems. Satnav technology makes my job a lot easier.

I love online shopping. I send my shopping list to the supermarket and they deliver everything to my

house. It’s so easy and it saves me lots of time.

Places to visit in

LiverpoolLiverpool is a city in the north west of England. I was there last August. Here are two places I can recommend.

Sefton Park is one of Liverpool’s largest green areas. I recommend the park because it’s the perfect place for a quiet walk or a bike ride. There are statues and fountains in the park. There’s a lake where you can

rent a boat. For sporty people, there are

areas where you can play tennis,

football and other sports. If you want to take your laptop, there are cafés with wifi zones. The park is open 24 hours a day and it’s free to go in.

Thinking skillsExplaining

The Echo Wheel is a very popular tourist

attraction in Liverpool. It’s 60 metres

tall. I recommend the wheel because

you can see incredible views of the city.

From the top of the wheel you can see

parks, museums and galleries. You can

see the river Mersey. On a clear day,

you can see the mountains in Wales.

The wheel turns 360º and the ride

lasts about 15 minutes. Check online

for ticket prices and opening times.

The wheel has got wheelchair access.

You can also present your

project in this way.
