M: Lily, can you talk about where you are from?
W: I’m from the second biggest city in Ireland which is Cork.
M: What does the Cork mean? Does it have something to do with wine?
W: The name "Cork" doesn’t come from wine bottle cork, it comes from the Irish word "kirkig" which is "marsh, " so you can imagine how wet Cork is. We have a lot of rain.
M: Interesting! And is Cork a big city?
W: It’s a sprawling city. Most of the city spreads outwards and the suburbs tend to be quite big. Most people live outside of the city and commute.
M: What are the people in Cork like?
W: Well, the men in my city speak with a very high-pitched voice. This may sound strange to you, but we think it’s a sign of manhood. And girls tend to speak in a lower voice because a lower voice in Ireland usually means intelligence. And most girls want to be intelligent in Ireland.
M: That’s very interesting. You actually think that keeping down the voice is a sign of intelligence?
W: Yes. However, most people love to laugh in Cork so there is a really good sense of humor: You just walk on the streets and you hear people laughing all of the time. It’s great.
M: And what would you say is the best thing about your city?
W: The best thing is the people of course, but also the food. The entertainment is just fantastic. Every night you can go out, you can have dinner.
