Author Dane Reid Goes To England
Just weeks after the Obamas’ visited England, I decided to make my own trip to the Royal Country. I found it so fascinating. One of my favorite things to do in life is to travel and this was my first trip to England. The culture is very different from America’s. The English drive on the left side of the road so I had to look right first before crossing the street. The roads are very small there and gas is really expensive so the English drive very small cars. Many of those cars are not sold in America. Also measurements are different there. Instead of using gallons, they use liters and pints. The people of the UK are very hospitable. I visited a town called Ipswich and also London. While in London, I saw Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, I didn’t spend a lot of time in London, but if time permits, I will go back one day.

Trivia Question: London is 5 hours ahead of New York. My flight left London at 8:30 AM London time and arrived in New York at 11:00 AM New York time. How long was the flight from London to New York?

Trivia Question 2: The English money is called Pounds. One Pound is equal to $1.50. While in England, I spent 120 Pounds on accommodations. How much is that equal to in dollars?

Congratulations to everyone who finished their yearly standardized test. Hope you all did great!
