fact, its history dates beyond 3,000 B.C, when the
megalithic tombs were constructed in Newgrange.
Throughout the country’s expansive evolution, the Irish
fought time and again to maintain their independence as
a sovereign nation. Evidence of the rich history is clearly
visible through its many castles, including Leighlinbridge
Castle and Carlow Castle, two of Ireland’s oldest
establishments.

_______5. However, it would be a serious mistake to

replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and
resources are associated with less learning and more
problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs
book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on
tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand
10% less of what they read compared to people who
read the same information in print.

Now let us check your understanding on the principles of

speech writing. Kindly get a one fourth sheet of paper
