Ireland stands in the south of the island. There are about 3,470,000 people in the country and the weather is
quite wet but warm. The temperature is neither too high nor too low. Fails of snow in Ireland are most
unusual. Whenever you go there, you can hardly see them. Ireland is full of interesting things to do. You"ll find
restaurants and cafés everywhere. Most of them have a long list of Irish food and drinks. Especially, after your meal, you can take a walk along the shore. The countryside is good for horse riding. Other sports you may
want to do are sailing, boating, swimming, fishing and golfing.
Ireland is famous for its theaters and festivals. So why don"t you stay longer for a party, an opera or a
concert? The Irish people are kind and friendly. From mountains to beaches you will find people ready to stop
and talk about the weather, the local geography or history.
The Irish people have kept their own culture of music and literature (文学) well. Different areas have

when we pay attention to the words are used. Let"s look at the words about animals and plants. Most
expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example,"a homeless dog","a mad dog","a running dog" and "a dog
catching a mouse", have negative (消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest
and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive (积极的) actions. For example,"you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good
luck sometimes. To describe a person"s serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word "dog-tired" means
very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture,"cat" is often used to describe a
woman who is cruel (冷酷的). There are many other examples of how "cat" is used differently as well.
The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think
the rose stands for (代表) love, peace (和平), courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of
England, America and many other countries.
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can
learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.
