Dear Mary,

How are you?I saw you posted some wonderful photos of the coastline near your hometown.You’re really getting into your photography!Right now I’m taking a break from social media(媒体) to write you an email.

Remember you said you’d like to come over to the UK sometime this year?Well,I was thinking that this year you might like to come to the Edinburgh Festival with me in August.I’ve got an aunt with a flat in the city centre who could put us up.

Do you know much about the festival?It’s very famous—the biggest,most popular arts festival in the world!There are lots of things going on—art exhibitions(展览),concerts of all kinds,modern dance,a book festival,etc.The thing it’s most famous for is the newest and most exciting theatre.People come from all over the world and perform(表演) in their own language.

In Scotland you have the best of both worlds:culture and wild land.After the festival,we could hire(租) a car and go up to some of the islands off the west coast,like Skye.The weather can be changeable in August,but the landscape(风景) is beautiful,with empty beaches and rocky mountains.It’s the perfect place for you to take photos.Afterwards,we could head back to the east coast and visit my friend Rob in St.Andrews.It’s really pretty and Rob’s enjoyable to be with.You’d get on well with him.

So,why don’t you have a think about it and then get back to me?Take your time,there’s no rush.

Speak to you soon,

Sophie

Ireland is known for many things—its rich history,green hills,and St.Patrick’s Day.Celebrated on March 17 every year,the holiday is well known in the early-20th century as a religious day.However,it is now widely recognized as a celebration of Irish and Irish-American culture with fun traditions that include hunting for leprechauns(精灵),enjoying beef,and wearing bright green clothing.

While St.Patrick’s Day is one of Ireland’s holidays,the clergyman(牧师),whose death day it marks,was from the west coast of modern-day England.

Though wearing green on St.Patrick’s Day is now the tradition,it was not the color of choice from the start.When the Order of St.Patrick was set up in the 1780s,the followers wore blue.Green was only used once it became associated with Irish nationalism in the 1790s and considered as a good representation of the country’s green hills.

While most US cities hold a St.Patrick’s Day parade,New York City,which began the tradition in 1762,hosts the biggest one.Though the Dublin,Ireland parade,which started in 1998,cannot match the impressive numbers,the city makes up for it with a week-long celebration which attracts over a million people.For the ninth year,over 300 of the world’s landmarks will celebrate the occasion by turning green on March 17.

No celebration is complete without enjoying a traditional dish or two.For St.Patrick’s Day,that means enjoying corned beef,cabbage,potatoes,and carrots as much as one likes.The tradition is believed to have come from early Irish immigrants(移民) to the United States,who were only able to afford meat once a week.As beef was the cheapest one,it became the meat of choice.However,don’t expect to see the Irish in Ireland dining on the same food!They usually prefer bacon and lamb and would have most likely eaten pork and potatoes in the past.

B.It was first celebrated by hunters.

C.It is a religious and cultural celebration.
