Ireland

Grammar Point: Future Tense/ Grammar Assignment: Where would you like to travel? Write a paragraph telling what you WILL or SHALL do on your next vacation.
My one sentence in the present tense for this entire paragraph: I am designing a unit for Ireland and the following describes a trip I’d like to take…here is my wild dream!
One day, I believe I will travel to Ireland. I shall travel to Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, or perhaps Eire, or the Irish Republic, which will include other provinces I’d like to visit. When in Northern Ireland, I’ll need to use the British pound, but when in the Irish Republic, I’ll use the euro to purchase necessities. That means I shall exchange currency twice! Perhaps I’ll budget the trip and do the entire exchange in the States. When I arrive in Ireland, I’ll go walking around in (the safe parts) of Dublin. Perhaps my family will come with me and we shall meet Irish step dancers, like us! One thing I’ll be sure to do is attend a concert in which reels, jigs, and hornpipes are played in traditional Irish fashion. One thing I’ll definitely need on the packing list is an umbrella, because it shall (as it always does), of course, be raining in Ireland. I’ll hopefully be planning the trip soon!
