The Republic f Ireland, in the suth, is an independent cuntry.
In the 1840s, the main crp, ptates, were affected by disease and abut 750,000 peple died f hunger. This, and a shrtage (短缺) f wrk, frced many peple t leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada.
Fr many years, the majrity f Irish peple earned their living as farmers. Tday, many peple still wrk n the land but mre and mre peple are mving t the cities t wrk in factries and ffices. Life in the cities is very different frm life in the cuntryside, where things mve at a quieter and slwer pace.
