Genre: talk/debate
Title: Northern Ireland
Practice descriptions:
Official name of "Igirisu", where English language was
born, is "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland." You may wonder why Northern Ireland has to be
attached to "Great Britain" to form the United Kingdom. Or
you may not wonder..
Northern Ireland, with land area almost same as Fukushima
prefecture and population slightly larger than Kyoto city,
is known for UNESCO world heritage of Giant's Causeway,
the world first legal whiskey distillery of Bushmills, and
the birthplace of the cruiser ship "Titanic." Or is it
Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the conflict known as "the
Troubles" that you imagine?
In practice, I give you the brief introduction of the
region, and you talk on the topics about this English
speaking region. Northern Ireland is bigger than its
actual size of land area and population in its presence in
English speaking world. So you English language lovers,
it's good for you to talk something about Northern
Ireland. No prior knowledge about Northern Ireland is
required.
