eighty-one / 81 Take 4 Scotland and Northern Ireland are separated by the sea but, at the closest point, the distance between the two countries is only 12 miles. You’ll find Northern Ireland on an island called Ireland. But pay attention, because this is a little tricky! In 1921, Ireland was divided into two parts. Northern Ireland stayed part of the UK, but Ireland became independent. We know it as the Republic of Ireland or Eire with the capital city in Dublin. English is the most commonly spoken language in Northern Ireland, but Irish is important, too. Also, other languages like Chinese, Urdu or Polish are becoming more common. Why do you think that is? The capital city in Northern Ireland is Belfast. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a chance to go there one day and visit Titanic Belfast. Maybe you already know the story about the worldfamous ship which sank after hitting an iceberg on her very first voyage, but let’s summarize quickly: Did you know? Most of the passengers who travelled third class had saved money for a long time and were hoping to find work and a new life in America. Some travelled alone, some in family groups. They slept at the bottom of the ship. First-class passengers, on the other hand, were all very rich and had access to great facilities on board, including a gym, pool, Turkish bath, a kennel for first-class dogs, and a squash court. separated aðskilið closest nálægasti pay attention takið eftir stayed hélt áfram að vera independant sjálfstætt commonly algengast already nú þegar word-famous heimsfræg/ur voyage reisa/ferð summarize draga saman slept sváfu bottom botn access aðgangur facilities aðstaða Turkish tyrkneskt
