  1. So hi everyone, today I'm going to talk about a famous monument located in Northern Ireland at Belfast which is called The sheep on the road.This monument is a life-size bronzes of six sheep and a sheperd which was sculpted in 1991.I choose this monument because me my class and my teacher are going to visit Ireland for a week and I don't know if we are going to visit this place so if some people didn't know this site, now they know it.

  2. Hello !
    I wanna speak you about the Tower Bridge.
    It’s just in front of the Tower of London. Tower Bridge is one of London’s most iconic landmarks and has sat astride the River Thames since 1894. This bridge was a feat of industrial engineering in its time. Now, it’s been opened up to the public to take a look into the bowels of the bridge, and also to walk across the top walkways featuring the new Glass walkways to look down at the river and see the pedestrians walking below. It’s a great historic building in London. I choose this monument because I think the first thing I will visit in London will be this bridge, I saw a lot of documentary of him and like I said before it’s one of London’s most iconic landmarks.
    Bye my friend !

  3. Hello !
    I am going to talk about Castlerigg stone circle, a stone circle located near the city of Keswick, in Cumbria, in the Lake District (a region in north west England). This stone circle was constructed in 4000 BC and was probably used for religious ceremonies. It is one of the most touristic prehistoric monument in this region, because it is located in a small plain between the most beautiful mountains of Cumbria. I chose this historical location because I have seen it myself and I found it very mysterious and impressive. It's hard to realize that these stones have been standing there for more than 6000 years !

  5. I think Scotland would be amazing to visit with all its mysticals lakes and the stories about them (like the Loch Ness monster)
    The Loch Ness is in the North of Scotland.
    This lake is interesting because of its legend, and it's funny to see that some people really believe that there is a monster in this lake...
    A lot of scientists scanned the lake, but found nothing. But this belief is like a tradition, so I can understand why some people still wants to believe that there is actually a monster.

  6. Hello, I choose the Guinness Storehouse off Dublin on the St James's Gate in Ushes. It's the best museum in the World where you can visit the old brewery and learn how to craft this emblematic beer.Guinness is a very special (and just unic) beer which is the emblem of Ireland.Also, because all around the World, Irish pub exists to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, with a green beard, a green four-leaf Clover in the left hand and on the other hand a pint of Guinness

  7. Hello,
    I'm going tu talk about the Stonehenge, which is a megalithic monument consisting of a set of concentric circular structures, built between 2800 BC and 11001 BC, from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. It is located thirteen kilometers north of Salisbury, and four kilometers west of Amesbury (Wiltshire County, England).
    I chose this monument among all those which exist in the British Isles, because it's may be the oldest one. Also, because there is a bit of mystery, even the researchers have trouble finding the date and use of this monument. Afterward, many researchers took over from the scientific research on this site since the beginning of the 19th century. Futhermore, the researchers found holes, with bones and charcoal inside; which dated before the construction of the monument.

  8. Hello!
    I am going to talk about the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Scotland. Which is in the city of Edinburg. It was at the beginning a monastery founded by the King David I in 1128 (king of Scotland). After, it became the residence of many king and queen. I chose that specific one because I saw a program on Netflix "Reign", about Mary Stuart queen of Scotland (and for one year queen of France). And I think her story is really interesting and I would like to visit her castle.

  9. Hello,
    In this post, I am going to talk about the Buckingham Palace, It’s situate in London, in the southern-east part of England; It’s a real palace, what I am meaning is that it’s a luxurious place where the royal family lives and we where we always have some royal guard standing and protecting it. It have been constructed around the XIV century when Henri VIII bought the Hospital of St James, at first it didn’t have this name, it was call St James Palace, changed and changed to end to be the one we all know around the world. I wanted to talk about this monument of the British Isles cause, when I went for the first time in England at London and saw it, I was captivate by this enormous building and his wonderful garden guarded by the royal guard. I think I said all I wanted to say about this place, I hope you enjoyed it.
    Bye

Buckingham Palace is whithout "the"; Situated ; What i mean is must replace "What i am meaning" ; That is where the Royal family live replace "It's a luxurious place where the royal family lives" ; "we where we always have some " must be replace with there are always some ; "It have been constructed" must be replace by It was built ; Henri VIII must be Henry VIII ; "captivate" must be replace by captivated.

    This place has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times, and controlling it has been important to controlling the country.
