English ST. PATRICKS DAY Words with Alisha
A Leprechaun is a mythical small person from
Ireland, they are rainbow gold managers.
Hi, everybody! My name is Alisha, welcome
back to Holiday Words. Today’s holiday is
St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 14th
and it is a very popular holiday in America,
so let’s learn a few words about it.
Irish-Americans
So st. Patrick’s Day comes from Ireland, and
people from Ireland are called Irish people.
Irish-Americans, therefore, are people whose
families came from Ireland to America, and
now they live in America. So St. Patrick’s
Day may be an important holiday for Irish
Americans. But America is unique in that sense
that people from other countries come and
become American, but maintain their original
nationality in their original cultures, heritage
as well.
To pinch
Ok, so the next word on the list for today
is “to pinch”.
To pinch, this seems like a very strange word,
this is a verb but the reason to pinch is
on our list today is because the rule is,
at least depending on the people that you’re
surrounded by, if you are not wearing green
people are allowed to pinch you. So a pinch
is usually just a small, this motion with
your fingers. If you are wearing green I think
there’s a rule, isn’t it? Oh my gosh! Look
at what we’ve found! A rule! A set of rules!
Look how long this is! Rule number 1, must
be wearing green in your clothes, not including
green nail polish, green hair barrettes, and
green stars are all examples of things that
do not count; “do not” is in capital letters
here. Thus, you will be pinched. Generally
wear green or get pinched, these are your
two options.
St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The next item on our list is a St. Patrick’s
Day parade, so we like to do parades for holidays
and events in America, St. Patrick’s Day is
one such example.
One thing you may see in a st. Patrick’s Day
Parade is bagpipes, bagpipes are traditional
instrument.
Guinness
The next word is Guinness. Guinness is a very
popular, very well known beer all around the
world. Guinness is a stout beer. I love Guinness.
Guinness is from Ireland, and it is one of
the drinks that is commonly associated with
the St. Patrick’s Day, because it is so famous
everybody is aware of Guinness.
Let’s have a pint of Guinness together on
St. Patrick’s Day this year.
Okay, so that’s all about St. Patrick’s Day.
