I am Irish, and I love my country for its natural beauty, language and people. My country is famous for its beautiful legends including the story of the Giant's Causeway. The Giant's Causeway is one of the greatest natural sights in the world. I live in Belfast which is the capital of Northern Ireland. For me, the most beautiful attraction in Belfast is Belfast Botanic Gardens* with its opera performances and concerts. I like St Patrick's Day, because we organise parades, eat Irish food and wear green-coloured clothes.
