Hallo ihr Lieben ,
für die Schule muss ich ein A-Z of Ireland erstellen. :roll:
Auf Englisch, versteht sich.
Ich hab jetzt schonmal ein paar Texte fertig und wollte fragen, ob ihr eventuell mal drüber schauen wolltet.
Gerne auch nur Absatzweise!
Verbesserungen bitte fett oder farbig!
Und falls ich etwas geschrieben habe, was nicht stimmt, bitte sagen, was nicht stimmt (zB Datum des Ereignisses)
Ich poste eben mehrere Texte, und nicht alle von A-Z sondern je nach dem, wie ich sie schon fertig habe.
Vielen lieben Dank, falls sich jemand findet
Alle Texte sind von MIR verfasst, nicht aus dem Internet kopiert!!

A like Animals
Animals are everyday life in Ireland. Maybe in fact of the reason that nearly everybody has a dog or that most of the ways through the castles cross a meadow. Yes, that's normal for the animals and the animals are not really interested about the people who cross the meadow.
In Ireland there are also lots of sheeps. And every single place which can be eingezäunt?? is reserved for the sheeps. It's not unnormal that there are lot's of traffic jams because the sheeps are crossing a street.
There are also much cows in Ireland. If you cross Ireland you have to cross much cow paddocks and sometimes the cows are walking with you. Most of the time there are also horses next to the meadows.
Because there are lots of rivers and seas in Ireland, there are also much frogs and amphibians. It's like a paradise for fisher.
But you'll not find much spiders and not one snake in Ireland. The saga says that St. Patrick ejected the snakes when he saw Ireland, because he didn't want that an animal, which is responsible for the relegation from the paradise live on this wonderful isle. He pushed with his stick on the ground and the snakes disappeared.
Some more exotic animals are the dolphins and the atlantic puffins.
B like Books
For such a small isle Ireland has lots of books which are also named in the world literature in all his modes. The irish literature is written in irish and also in english. But the most famous books are written in english. Some famous writers are: Oscar Wilde, James Joyce and the four writers which won a nobel prize: George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett, William Butler Yeats and Seamus Heaney.
The oldest literature traditions are in irish. Ireland has the third oldest literature in Europe (after greek and latin) and the most important body of written literature (old and new version) of any celtic language.

For a long time, Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Western Europe. This period hold on until about 1900 but ten years later everything changed. Ireland became the fastest growing company in Europe because a lot of companies started their buisness in Ireland. And also new buildings were opening all the time.
Today Ireland is a very important exporter. Yes, it's actually the largest European exporter of software and computers.
D like Dance
It's not really known when the Irish dance starts. Many people thinks that the irish dance comes from the celtics but there are referencs that the druids were the first people who explicated the irish dance. They danced in religion rituals. In this rituals they dignified the sun and the oak tree.
Today there are also pieces of this ritual dance in the irish dance today, but now there are also many other aspects in this dance.
The three maindances are:
Rince fada (or Fading) there are two lines of partners who are standing compared to each others.
The Irish Hey perhaps a kind of as figurdance ore a kind of a rounddance
The Trenchmores a kind of country dance
The modern dances began at 1893 as the Gealic League has been formed. This group comforted the irish people to reform the irish culture which has been prevented by the british people.
The first Ceili was in 1897 in London with a big crowd of people. The irish word ceili is coming from a connection from neighbours in a house to play music, dance and to tell histories. Today they prepare a Ceili to dance in groups and it's an evening for young and old.
E like Emigration
From 1848 to 1950 over 6 million adults and childs emigrated from Ireland. The most important port of emigration is Cobh where 2.5 million people emigrated from.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif] [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]All these people emigrated because of poverty, crop failures, the land system and a lack of oppertunity.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Irish emigration reached unprecedented proportions during the famine as people fled from hunger and disease.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Many of those famine emigrants went to british north america(today canada) because there were fare structures and government regulations, but most of the people later went to the United States.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The famine comes from lots of crop failures from potatoes. So the people thought that it was their last chance to escape from Ireland.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]F like Fearies[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There are many sagas in Ireland about fearies. Fearies are all creatures from the „other world“. There are friendly fearies but there are also antipathic fearies in matters of humans. Ostensible people can contact this creatures if they have all their senses by theirselves. Fearies are buisnesspeople because they prey every single fault from people to have a advantage for theirselves.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Fearies live in bigger groups which are rule by a feariequeen.These groups are wearing red and green clothes, lots of jewelery, plumes on their hats and so on.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]But there are also fearies who like coats, animal skins, flowers or moss.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The life of the fearies is like the life from the people before the industrial revolution. They have to eat, to drink, they could get ill and they could die. Even if they live much longer than humans. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]They like to make a big celebration with singing, dancing and eating. There are four big celebrations: Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnassadh and Samhain. And if they celebrate they hate to be observed by other people. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]They don't want to be known so they disguise themselves as animals and they never say they're real names.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]If you want to be friends with fearies you you shall not observe them and you should be orderly, you should keep secrets and you should be amply. People who gave water to the fearies to wash their kids, gave them milk, bread and cheese are also accepted by the fearies. If you handle unselfish if fearies are in trouble you'll be helped by them, too.[/FONT]
It's not scientifical detected that fearies are existing, but the irish people are proud of all the stories of this natty little folks.
G like Gaelic Games
Who want to see irish people in action should visit one of the Gaelic Games. There are different sports like football (with using the hands), Hurling (a bit like Hockey, with a little hard ball and wooden stocks) and Camogie (that's Hurling for women).
Hurling is a typical irish sports and almost complete played in Ireland. It's one of the fastest teamsports all over the world.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]About 70.000 people came and come to the Croke Park to watch one of the biggest Gaelic Games festival in Ireland. Old and young people, women and men, colored ore white – it's a big event for everybody and it's peaceable most of the time.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]But it wasn't popular like that every time. At the end of the 19th century the Gaelic Games died out. But this decline were stopped by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). So now the games are very popular and despite of an economic downturn in 2009 the attendances are up about 11% on 2008.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]H like History [/FONT]
Irelands lay in the Western Europe and the closeness to Greatbritain marked the history of Ireland.
Ireland is inhabited since about 7.000 years and the isle was opened for many wars. Because of that there are many different traditions and people in Ireland. The first people were hunters from greatbritain. At about 3000 before Christus followed countrymen. This people were neolithic people. At about 200 before Chr. Metalworkers came to Ireland.
In the 6th century before chr. The first celtic people came from Europe to Ireland. Until today there are tiles of celtic traditions and parts of the celtic language in Ireland.
In the 5th century after Chr. the christendom fanted out. The people think that St. Patrick (born at about 390) but it's already known that there were prosestant people before.
Ireland was not setteld by the Romans and there were no following invasions ore something like that. Probably that's the reason for the wonderful irish art, the cultural life in irish abbeys and the history.
In the 8th century after chr. the irish friars brought the christendom to many pieces of europe.
In the late 8th century there were many attacks by vikings in Ireland. But the vikings were also interested in buisness and they also impressed big cities like Dublin, Cork and Waterford.
In 1014 the irish people, which were managed by Brian Boru, the irish king, won a fight against the vikings. And after these fight of Clontarf the vikings were disappearing from Ireland more and more.
In the 12th century Ireland was ruled by the british king the first time. This happened, because the anglo-normans shooted the irish kings down and they also destroyed all the proceedings to a feudal state.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The next 400 years the anglo-normans and their kids were very important in Ireland. But most tiles of Ireland were in irish hand. Aside from that, the importance from the anglo-normans disappeared because of the gealic people and because of the irish monarchs, which came back very strong.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I like Irish Folk[/FONT]If you ask some german people what the like most of Ireland, then they often say „the music“. But music can be bands and singers like U2, Dana, Westlife and the Dubliners. So you don't really know what they mean. But if you ask them again, they say Irish Folk. But what is Irish Folk? [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]In general you have to differntiate between traditional music from unknown composists and folkloristic melodies. The traditional music has his beginning in a very unkown past and it was written down much time later. The melodies were brought to the next generation without notes and just with hearing.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]This was the beginning of a natural evolution from these melodies because from transfer to transfer parts of the melodies were changing. Like that there were many different versions of the same melody sample. The same happened with the texts. They became a regional cover or they don't really make sense any more.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Beside this traditional music there were also other songs which haven't been relly traditional any more. The word folk song just means tha tthe song is a part of the folk. It doesn't mean that there are traditional instruments ore melodies.[/FONT][/FONT]
