What do you prefer, watching TV or listening to the radio?
As for me,
Do you like watching (listening to) the news ()?
I don't mind watching (listening to) the news (), but I am fond

Мой дом-моя крепость. Этим немногословным высказыванием мы подразумеваем, огромный смысл.
Когда ты в малом возрасте, ты не желаешь жить по законам семьи. Но, повзрослев, ты понимаешь, что эти законы нужны. Это правила твоей крепости, твоей семьи, твоего дома. В каждой семье имеют место существования те или иные законы, свои традиции.
Ты растешь, воспитываешься в своей семье, возле своих родителей, брата, сестры, с их ты получаешь новое мировосприятие, по-новому воспринимаешь всё происходящее. Видишь первую мамину улыбку, улыбку счастья. В семье, ты, любишь и ненавидишь, ненавидишь и любишь. Когда становишься подростком начинаешь не любить, старшего брата и сестру. Проходит полгода, и всё опять по-старому. Ты опять их любишь и везде и всегда с ними. Затем лет через 7-8 ты уходишь из своего дома, улетаешь из гнезда, где ты вырос. И, кажется, ты рад этому. Но проходит год, другой и всё же тебя опять тянет в тот старенький домик, к родителям. Где ты жил до этого и где ты вырос, но изменить уже ничего нельзя.
Семья-это святое. В этом доме ты вырос, сделал первые шаги, сказал первое слово. И ты должен и обязан, любить и уважать свою семью, родителей. Так как именно им ты обязан своей жизнью. Твой дом-это твоя крепость и ты должен его защищать.
Перевод
My home is my fortress. By this terse statement we mean a huge meaning.
When you are a young child, you don't want to live by the laws of the family. But as you grow up, you understand that these laws are necessary. These are the rules of your fortress, your family, your home. Each family has its own laws and traditions.
You grow up, you are brought up in your family, near your parents, brother, sister, with their help you get a new perception of the world, a new perception of everything that happens. You see your mother's first smile, a smile of happiness. In the family, you, love and hate, hate and love. When you become a teenager, you start to dislike your older brother and sister. Six months pass, and everything is back to the old way. You love them again and are always with them everywhere. Then after 7-8 years you leave your home, fly away from the nest where you grew up. And you seem happy about it. But a year passes, another year, and still you are drawn back to that old house, to your parents. Where you lived before and where you grew up, but nothing can be changed.
Family is sacred. You grew up in this house, took your first steps, said your first word. And you must and must love and respect your family and parents. Since it is to them that you owe your life. Your home is your fortress and you must protect it.
1.Love for horses. In most small towns of the country, horse racing is the only entertainment, and the horses participating in them become local celebrities.
2.Receiving an unusual inheritance. The main value that a son can inherit from his father is a hat. Hinting at the humid climate of the island, the Irish often joke that a headdress in such weather is an indispensable thing.
3.Unwillingness to eat at a party. With regard to food, the Irish adhere to a strange principle – either eat what you cooked yourself, or go to the pub. It is not customary to go to a party to have dinner or at least drink a glass of whiskey here.
4.A sincere love for black humor. Even close friends in a private conversation can not resist not to let go of some kind of sharp "compliment" to each other.
5.Love of arguments. Polemic on any topic is the national weakness of the Irish. They like to provoke and provoke the interlocutor until he agrees to enter into a debate, even on a very unambiguous issue.
