Here is a picture about a meal we had on that day.
So what is haggis? It is a Scottish dish consisting of a mixture of the minced heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep or a calf mixed with suet, oniones, oatmeal, and seasonings and boiled in the stomach of the slaughtered animal. Some people may not like the taste of haggis, but I think it is good.
So who is Robert Burns? He was a Scottish poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a "light" Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism andsocialism.
The song named Auld Lang Syne goes like below:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne!
Chorus.-For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne.
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint stowp!
And surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.
And there's a hand, my trusty fere!
And gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.
For auld, &c.

It impressed me so much that I realized that the literature is a very important part in UK.

Wow!
回复删除That was really interesting. I didn't know anything about how to address the haggis etc. and I didn't know all the words to Auld Lang Syne. Thank you
