Hi there to the students from Mr. Geiman’s class in Pennsylvania, in the USA
who are doing the Student Blogging Challenge.
We thought you might be interested to read about the differences between
the way we speak English here, in Ireland
and the way you speak it in America.
If any of you were coming to visit us here in Ireland,
the different way
we use English might make things a bit confusing.
If you asked for a scone this is what we would give you:
We would serve it with jam and cream.
By jam we mean jelly.
Mmm, this looks like raspberry.
If you asked for jelly, we would give you this;
poppet with a camera via Compfight
We call these crisps
Though we wouldn’t eat them with a knife and fork,
we might put them in a sandwich.
We call these chips:
unless we are in McDonald’s, in which case
we call them ‘french fries’.
We think it is interesting, that
although both the Irish
and the Americans speak English,
they speak if differently.
It’s Luke from the student blog challenge .
I found that piece of writing very informative. I don’t completely understand how I would get Ms.W the post. Do I put the post in a comment or do I just put a link to the post in the comment I thought I might just ask. Thank you!
PS: If you could put your response on my blog that would be very nice.
It’s me Lily Brant from Blue Ball. Sorry I haven’t responded in a while. It turns out my dog is a beagle. I’m working hard every day to do well on my blog. I hope your having a good day. I like your post. I love the wizard. Have a happy easter too. Bye.
P.S. Please see this new post I made at http://blog.elanco.org/brantlj/2017/04/10/0-ways-to-get-more-comments/ .
Hi Luke,
Thank you for your comment.
You are right. You just put a link to the post in a comment.
I will put this information on your blog also.
With every good wish

Hi Lily,
Thanks for your comment.
Beagles are a dog with a lot of character. Lucky you.
I am glad you liked the wizard.
You could have one too. I will leave the details on your blog.
I am going to take a look at your new post now.
With every good wish
