Culture.

Northern Ireland, from fighting to friendship.

Exercise one.

One.

A hundred years ago, the whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. In nineteen twenty-one, the country was divided. The Republic of Ireland became a separate country, but Northern Ireland remained part of the United Kingdom. After this, there was a lot of violence between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. Finally, the peace process began in the nineteen nineties. But it wasn't easy. While the politicians were trying to agree, there were more terrorist attacks. But now, at last, Catholics and Protestants are working together in Northern Ireland.

Two.

Gerry and John both live in Belfast. Gerry's family are Catholics, and John is a Protestant. They're spending the weekend on a community project with twenty other young people. Today, they're visiting the beach near Ballycastle. "Everyone here is very friendly," says Gerry. "I've met lots of really nice people." John and Gerry are going to keep in touch when they return to the city. "I think everyone will live in peace in the future," says John. "It doesn't matter if we are Protestants or Catholics. Really, we're all the same."

Exercise one.

My best friend.

Irena is my next-door neighbor and my best friend. We've had some great times together. I've stayed at her house lots of times and I know her parents well. I've been on holiday with them a couple of times. Last year, we went to Poland. Irena and I don't go to the same school, but I often see her at weekends. We sometimes go to the cinema or we go shopping in town. Irena is a funny sociable person. She's a loyal friend. She often helps me with my homework and we study together before exams. We never have arguments and I think we'll be friends forever.
