Keep Calm and Carry On Living Life in the UK

Keep Calm and Live Where?
When I first moved to England I was sad
and happy. Where I lived in England
before I had a house I lived in TLF. TLF
is a place that you will have to stay
when you are looking for a house or
longer because they need to move
furniture in your house until your
stuff gets to your house. When your
stuff gets to your house you can help
unpack with your Mom, or Dad, or
both. After you unpack you can invite
some kids your age then you can be
friends.

Welcome to England, extremely unpredictable, bad smelling always, and more
wet than ever with rain. So, we’ll let you know about the seasons that are never in
order, fall goes to winter, spring is literally frost all around although summer is a
heatwave of everything all together.
Okay, back on topic now, the TLF is really small and they’re off base. Good thing
is, they have a playground and if you live off base or at Mildenhall you get bigger
housing but you have to take a bus to L.E.S or L.I.S maybe L.M.S if you’re old. Okay,
onto the next topic!
So, about the people here, some of them are rude, with much emphasis on ‘some’.
Most of the time their rudeness will be mistaken because of their accent. Enough
about the people let’s move onto the language.
Their pronunciation is cool but you can barely understand them with the words
they use for everyday objects. An example is biscuits are cookies and soccer is
American football etc.

When I moved to the UK I lived off base but I didn’t like where I lived. The adults
were mean to me. The kids, I didn’t understand their accent. But when I moved on
base the adults were nice and the kids I could understand.
P.S. I’m going to be here for two more years. -Anthony, Grade 4
