Everyone has a list of destinations to visit. My list started from Ireland. I’ve always dreamed to visit the Emerald Island and admire the stunningly charming scenery. This summer I’ve fulfilled my dream! I went to Dublin in June. It was really a trip of a lifetime!
First of all I went to Trinity College in Dublin, the oldest and the most prestigious one in Ireland. It is a fairytale-like place, which unites Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett, Chris de Burgh and Jonathan Swift.
Founded in 1592 in the heart of Dublin, this college has an interesting history. The college survived 2 wars in the 17 th century and from then it became the synonym of “good education”. A lot of wealthy families sent their sons to study there.
As a tourist I liked walking leisurely along the corridors of such a great place. I even visited its library. There are more than 4 million books! I saw the well-known Book of Kells, one of the most precious medieval books in existence.
This excursion was an ideal start for my trip around Ireland!

Corner stores and supermarkets.
The corner grocery store was an American tradition, but now it is dying out. In older times there was a small grocery store in every neighborhood. Every day a housewife went to the store to buy milk, fresh bread and other food. Now most corner stores are closing. They are losing business to large supermarkets.
Supermarkets are bigger than corner stores. The corner store is a family business. Supermarkets employ more people. They are newer, more modern, and they stay open longer. They have a greater variety of products. They buy a larger amounts of food, so they can offer lower prices.
Many people miss the old corner store. It was smaller, friendlier and closer to home. But small business can’t compete with large companies.
Grocery – бакалея
Die out – исчезать, вымрать
Neigbhourhood - соседство
Fresh - свежий
Employ – нанимать
Variety - разнообразие
Amount - количество
Compete – конкурировать
