This year, it is impossible to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day  as we used to do it, singing and dancing ( like Irish people do ) but we don’t want to forget this important day for those who admire and respect Irish culture.

If you want to know something about this day, you can have  a look at three  presentations (one of them made by Ashley,our American language assistant in  2017-2018 course).

And finally, we can listen to a song by the most famous Irish Band, U2.
