Ireland is a book in the Oxford bookworms series. It's in the Factfiles sub-series, the nonfiction counterpart of the Oxford Bookworms Library. It's a stage 2 book.The book is divided into ten chapters: A strange and interesting country, Around the island, The Irish church and people, The English come to Ireland, Death from hunger, Fighting to be free, Northern Ireland, Dublin, Stories,music and dancing, A country for young people.
The book as a whole has 19 pages, and each chapter comprises about 2 pages. The sentences are quite easy, with about 10-20 words a sentence. Most sentences are simple in structure, with few or no embedded clauses. The vocabulary is also quite simple, with few words that typical learners will need to look up in a dictionary.
The chapter that appealed to me the most are Chapter 3: The Irish church and people and Chapter 2: Around the island. The bulk of this review will be devoted to these two chapters.
In the west, people speak Gaelic. North and west of Ireland is very beautiful, but it is difficult to farm here. People are not rich.
People who live in the east of Ireland are very rich because they have a farm. There are thousands of famous horses. People sell horses to other countries.
The west and the east of Ireland are very different.
Thousands of years ago, the Celts came to Ireland. They likes Gaelic sports. So, Hurling and Gaelic are very popular sports in Ireland. Celts speak Gaelic language. It is not English. (5725/12000)
