Day Adventures
By: María José Miranda

2. My name is Tom, and I am 12 years old. I live in
Ireland. Every March 17th Irish people go and
celebrate a holiday called Saint Patrick`s Day.
Because I am 12 years old, these year my mom is
going to take me to celebrate for the first time.

3. Saint Patrick`s Day consist in five days filled with
activities as parties and festivals. This holiday I
go to 3 different countries to know how they
celebrate Saint Patrick`s Day. First my home
Ireland ,then United States of America, and
Argentina.

4. In Ireland I go to see the parades. Everyone
wears green, and nobody go to work. I see
people from all ages and places. Some of them
come to commemorate the saint, other people
just to have a good time.

5. In the USA not everybody celebrate Saint
Patricks Day. The people that celebrate it dance
in the streets and make parades with amazing
statues. People dress with costumes. Music is
everywhere.

thousand of people and everywhere you go it
