“Hi, I’m Joey Pig and I’m going to tell you about my brother and sister’s story. They were all packed up to go on their foreign exchange trip to England.” (In England now, Joey Pig is not talking anymore.) “Hiya,” said Mr.Claris, “how was your areoplane trip?”

“It was nice, but I feel a little sick,” said Ima. “So what are your guys’ names?” said Mrs.Claris. “Well, I’m Ura, and this is my sister Ima.” “What's your last name?” “Pig” “ Ya and pigs might fly,” said Bill.

“This is our son Bill and this is our daughter,” said Mrs. Claris. “Well let’s go home to have some high tea, and we’ll show you around our semi detached,” said Mr. Claris.

 It took them awhile to get to their house, but when they got there, it was time to eat. “To eat we are having gammon on a bap with crisps and a fairy cake for dessert.” Then they showed Ima and Ura their bedroom. They shared a bedroom. They thought it was nice, but they weren’t use to sharing a room.

Then they unpacked their luggage and got ready for the next day. “You can put your clothes in the cupboard and you can unpack your sponge bag in the loo,” said Mrs. Claris.

/ The next morning Ima, Ura, and Bill took the crocodile to school. Bill told them about the buildings as they passed. And Ima laughed every time they walked over a zebra.

F Billy got off at infant school, and Ima and Ura went to junior school. They did pretty well the first day of school. They got to all the school classes fine and liked most of the teachers. But they didn’t like their math teacher, Mr. Tree. He sent Ura to the head master’s office when he asked him what his name was, and he said, “Ura Pig.”

 It made him really mad. They took the crocodile home where Billy was playing rugby. The next Ura tried out for rugby. He was good at it and liked it a lot.

The next day was a weekend, and the next week went pretty much the same. But then they saw some sites. They were pretty excited; they saw the Tower of London, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace. They saw a lot of rooms at Buckingham Palace. There were 600 in all. They didn't see the royal family, but Mrs. Claris said they could come back.

 In November they had Guy Fox Day. On Guy Fox Day, they take a fake person and they burn it over a bon fire. They said it was pretty fun after you got over the creepy part. On Christmas, Father Christmas came and put presents under their tree.

Then the next day was Boxing Day, it’s kind of like spring cleaning. They cleaned every thing out and donated it to charity. In January they have Saint Duynwen’s Day, it’s like a Welsh Saint Patrick's Day. In February they went on a field trip to the British Museum. Then on March 25th, it was Ima and Ura’s birthday.

We went to Exenter to see them. First we went to a fish and chips shop. All of Ima’s and Ura’s friends came too.

Then it was time to go. In April it was Easter, and they had fun with Bill and Elizabeth. On May 4th, it was time for Ima and Ura to go. They were sad to go, but they had a good time.
