Dublin

Dublin, a city over a 1,000 years old, is the cultural and historical capital of Ireland and the birthplace of many of the world’s most popular writers and musicians. James Joys and Oscar Wilde were both born here. But what’s it like?

It has always had a reputation as a vibrant and lively city, but since the economic boom of the 1990s, Dublin has got even better. Almost as famous for its lively nightlife as for its history, Dublin now looks more like other European cities, and has, in fact, become one of Europe’s most popular destinations. So, what can you do there?

The first place to go is Temple Bar. It has a great atmosphere, with shops, bars and cafes full of stylish young Europeans.

One of the best things to see is the Book of Kells. This is one of the oldest books in the world (over 1,200 years old!) and you can see it in the Trinity College Library, at the University of Dublin.

Also, you mustn’t miss the statue of Molly Molone, the city’s heroine. She was a beautiful, young fishmonger who died in 1636. Nobody knows how she died, but a famous song was written about her, and many say you can still hear the sound of her ghost walking the streets.

If you enjoy history, make sure you go to Dublin Castle. This castle, built between 1208 and 1220, lies in the heart of the city, and is surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Notes for the text:

birthplace – месторождения

lively - оживленный

Oxford

What is so special about Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest universities in England? Why do so many students want to study there?

Both of these university towns are very beautiful. They have some of the finest architecture in Britain. Some of their colleges and libraries are three, four and even five hundred years old, and are full of valuable books and precious paintings. Both towns have many lovely gardens, where the students can read and relax in the summer months.

Oxford is the older university of the two. The first of its colleges was founded in 1249. The university now has thirty-four colleges and about twelve thousand students, many of them from other countries. Oxford is, of course, famous for its first class education as well as its beautiful buildings. Some of the most intelligent men and women in the country live and work here. Oxford gives them what they need: a quiet atmosphere, friendly colleagues, and the four-hundred-year-old Bodleian library, which has about five million books.

It is not easy to get a place at Oxford University to study for a degree. But outside the university there are many smaller private colleges which offer less difficult courses and where it is easy to enroll. Many students in these private schools take business, secretarial or English language courses.
