BR2-25: Ireland


Oxford Bookworms Factfiles is a sub-series in the Oxford Bookworms series. It is devoted to nonfiction , and most of the book are about countries or famous sites or environmental problems. 


Generally, the book is quite easy to read. There are few embedded clauses, and the sentence are simple in structure. The average sentence length is about 10 words. there are some much longer sentences, but most of those are lists or have simple clauses such as "because" clauses. The vocabulary is quite simple, with few unknown words that learns will need to look up in the dictionary. But the books do have quite a lot of information and the number of words is fairly large. Thus, these books are recommended for learns who are aiming to progress beyond very short and simple books such us Usborne First Reading or Oxford Reading Tree.

The book cossets of 10 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; and A country young people. 

Chapter 2, Around the island, describes the geography of Ireland. Most of the mountain in Ireland are near the sea {rewrite}, and the chapter explains that the middle of the island has many beautiful lakes and rivers. The north and west of Ireland are mountainous, so most of the farming happens in the middle and east. Ireland is famous for its meat and milk. "There are hundreds of small island in the sea around Ireland" (p.2)

Overall, the book was very interesting and useful for me. My knowledge of Ireland was very limited, and the book gave me lots of useful information and made me want to visit Ireland myself. As mentioned above, this book and other books in the Facfiles sub-series may be a useful next step for learns who have read mainly very simple books.

About Halloween


The origin of Halloween dates back to 2000 years ago in the ancient Celts. The ancient Celts set October 31 as the end of the year is the festival of the dead. This is called in Japan, what was a day like New Year’s Eve and the tray put together. The first thing I heard that Halloween images, isn’t disguise? This disguise means to surprise the demons prowl around the house. The children wear different costumes, for example witch, character, ghost etc… Trick or Treat is a word to say in the front door when the children visit the house at night.

 

Trick” mean “naughty” ,“Treat” mean “candy”, “Trick or Treat” mean you don’t give me some candy otherwise I play a trick.

 

Halloween night, the children at the front door “Trick or Treat” that you hear a voice, “Happy Halloween!”, Saying let me put the candy on the market basket.

In Japan, Halloween was known by American movie and TV.

Kawasaki Halloween parade is the most famous parade in Japan.

In Japan, still Halloween isn’t more general than Christmas and Valentine’s Day, but it spread such as, commerce facilities every year.  In Tokyo Disney land hold Disney Hallo from September. The gests are disguise as a Disney’s character

The past, a man named Jack. He was heavy drinking and a swindler.  But he couldn’t go to Heaven, because he was bad conduct and he trapped the devil. Also, he couldn’t go to hell. So, his soul wandered. The devil refused him, but the devil gave him light to wander into darkness. And to burn a little longer that day, he put it into a hollowed turnip. That’s why the first a turnip was symbol of Halloween. This is Jack O’lantern. But, it was made from abundant pumpkin by American people. Since then, pumpkin is symbol of Halloween.

Pumpkins

Candles

Knife or spoon, crayons

<Instructions>

1 Top or bottom cut

When you cutting the top of pumpkins, you have to slant it because the lid fall.


2 Hollowing the inside

You must hollow well otherwise the pumpkin will damage soon.  Once you cut a thin face to face, make it easier to work later.

 3 Draw a sketch of the eyes nose and mouth with crayons on the side
 A curve is hard to cut out, so you had better write straight line as possible.
 

 4 Cut along the design

 Be careful in work. You need strength because Pumpkin is hard..

 There is also special equipment.


5 Set the candle finished

 If the candle can put in it, you just only put in.

 

What do you think Halloween? Do you want to disguise on the day? I want to disguise the day. However, I didn’t wear costume this year so I want to disguise next year and I want to go club with my friend. I have never been to club. The club held an event when it becomes Halloween Day every year so I am going to go club with my friends who wear a cute costume. Shall we go there next year? Thank you!!
