ST PATRICK'S DAY

17th March is coming and it means that one of the most famous festivities in the world is getting closer. Today, I want to talk about St Patrick's Day.

St Patrick is the saint patron of Ireland and this particular festivity involves lots of public parades, concerts, outdoor theatre performances and fireworks.
The typical colour people wear this day is GREEN (although, originally, it was blue) and shamrock its worldwide known symbol.

I'm leaving you the official webpage of the feast. You'll like it for sure. Could you add more info about this festivity? Let's create a summary with all your ideas!

This next unit is about PAST SIMPLE. I always say that it's the easiest tense if you study irregular verbs. We have little time to practise in class, so try to do activities on the net. I suggest you this page. Try, correct and ask me all the questions you need.
