I have a sister who lives and works on a cruise ship in America. She says it is very nice there. I hope one day I can go to America. I've been to Spain and Portugal once. My favorite would have to be Portugal I really enjoyed it in Portugal. I had a few friends but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the people in Portugal and Spain had spoke English.

Ireland is a very small country, so we are very interested in other countries. I have lots of relations in Britain (England). I've been to England four times and I've been to Wales once. I have a great aunt living in America. I've never been to America though. I went to Spain once and I'm going again. I'm going to Mallorca. It was really great there I can't wait to go again. Most of the television programs I watch are from America and Britain. I would really like to go and visit America and Australia.

I have never been outside Ireland but I am going to Spain in July. My mam chose Spain because it is very hot over there. We want to go somewhere hot because it is always cold over here. When I get older I would like to live in America because when I see it on the TV It looks great. I have some relations in Australia and England. I would like to live in England because I like the accent. I have a friend in Australia and her name is Sarah I have known her since I was 9.She is 13 now, and I am12. I would love to go over to see her because we're just pen pals.

I have a brother that lives over in Australia. I also have a great auntie that lives over in England. I went over to see her when I was in England. My brother that lives over in Australia used to live in America with my other brother. I would love to emigrate to America when I am older. I have been to Spain and met some friends over there. Spain is a lot hotter than Ireland. When it rains over in Spain it is still hot. I am going to Spain again this year.

I have only been to England and around Ireland. When I was in England I went to Alton Towers amusement park and had a good time but I didn't make any friends. My aunt lives in England and so does my granddad's brother. My dad has two sisters living in England. I have family in America but I don't know them. My Nanny tells me that one of them is a police officer. When I'm older I would like to go to Spain, America, Belgium and Italy because I think they would be great. My dad just got back from Belgium with his brother and says its great.

Ireland is a small country so we like to hear about other countries. The best country I ever visited was America. I was in Florida last year. I have two Uncles in England. Some brilliant footballers are from other countries, Like Ronaldo. He is from Brazil. People in America and Australia speak the same language as us but it sounds different because they have a different accent. I follow Man United they are from England as well.

I have an aunt in America and I have a second cousin and he lives in New York but I wish they lived in Florida so I could go visit them and go to Disneyland. My favourite country in the world is Spain I have been there twice and I am going again this year. I made friends over there names are David, Craig, Lisa and John. David and Craig are from England and Lisa and John are from Scotland.

Since Ireland is a very small country I like learning about other countries like Australia, America and England. I have relatives  in England ,those relatives are my two aunts , my two uncles and my five cousins. I have been to Wales seven times and England twice. The thing that is different about people around the world  is we all speak with different accents and we do some things differently. We might even have a different religion and we all eat different food.

The best place I've ever been is Spain. I've been to the Gran Canaria and to Salou. The best was Salou.In Salou the weather was lovely and warm, the weather in ireland is starting to change. I would love if the weather in Ireland was like the weather in Spain. When I was in Salou I got into the water every morning and it was great. I had to buy ice cream and ice pops all the time because it was so hot.

When I think about different countries I think they're a lot warmer than Ireland .I have been to Spain and it is very hot. Most of my dad's side of the family lives in England. Different countries have different skin tones and languages. They also have different climates too. I have been to England and I saw Big Ben and lots of other sights. I have penpals one of them called Lauren she comes from San Francisco. We learn about different countries in Geography.

We have pen pals in America. They tell us what it is like over there and they send us pictures. Dutch people came over to our school and showed us the rain dance. The Americans told us that it is good in California. They sent us a glass bottle full of American sand. My nanny and uncles live in England. I am going over to England in the summer for a week or two. My friend went to Spain and he was in a place called Salou. He said it was good because there were water slides and carnivals with huge roller coasters. I hope I go to Spain some time in the summer.
