Have you ever been to Ireland? If not, you should think of spending a vacation there. The Republic of 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. Falls of snow in Ireland are most unusual. 

Ireland is full of interesting things to do. You'll find restaurants and café everywhere. Most of them have a long list（清单） of Irish food and drinks. After your meal, you can take a walk along the shore（岸）. 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 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 and maybe about what you should see next. The Irish people have kept their own culture of music and literature（文学） well. Different areas have different kinds of music. In towns and villages people get together in the evening to sing and play music. They also get together to read their own poems to each other. Meeting such people is really fun, isn't it? 

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for all of the Chinese. It's like Christmas(圣诞节) in the west. It falls in January or February every year. It lasts about fifteen days. Before the festival comes, we do a lot of things for it, like doing some cleaning and shopping. Spring Festival Eve (除夕) is the night before the Spring Festival. All the family members get together and wait for the new year by watching the shows on TV. People like eating dumplings best that night because they have special meanings. People think they can bring good luck to them. The grandparents usually give lucky money to their grandchildren as a new year gift with a red envelop (红包). The festival brings a lot of happiness to kids, so they look forward to it.
