doblamos la última consonante. Ej: stop – stopping.

Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick’s Day is the official national holiday of Ireland and is celebrated internationally.
When and where do people celebrate Saint Patrick's Day? People celebrate it on 17th March every year, obviously, in Ireland but also in many
other English-speaking countries like the USA and Australia.
But… who is Saint Patrick? He is the patron saint of Ireland. He was born
in Scotland at the end of the 4th century and died on 17th March. For this
reason, his feast day is celebrated on this day.
It lasts for five days and nights. It usually starts on 13th March and ends
on 17th March with St Patrick’s parade. During the festival, there is music
everywhere. People dress in green, dance and drink green beer. It’s great
fun!
But… why is green so important on St Patrick’s Day? Because it's one of
the colours of the Irish flag and it symbolizes the beginning of spring.
Green is also the colour of the shamrock, one of the special symbols associated with Saint Patrick.
How do people celebrate this day all over the world? On Saint Patrick's Day there are big parades in New York and Boston because
lots of Irish descendants live there. In Chicago you can even find a
green river and in Sidney people eat green hamburgers!! In Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, there is a huge fireworks display in
the evening and fun and games for the kids.
So, next 17th March, why don't you put on some green clothes, pin a
shamrock on your lapel and join in the biggest party in the Irish calendar:
Saint Patrick’s Day!
This Irish man is
wearing a green
jacket, a green hat and
a green and white tie.
He's also carrying a
green umbrella
These girls are smiling
next to a leprechaun,
the traditional elf
This Irish man is
drinking green beer
