Alyssa and Nathan are nearing the end of their first year of school in England. July 20 marks the end of term and the kids are looking forward to their summer break. I have watched them adapt throughout their school year. Alyssa talks with her friends with a full British accent, but speaks to us using her usual American phrases. Nathan feels changing his accent is not true to his character, but he uses a lot of English phrases not used at home. However, what amazed me most was the writing project that Alyssa brought home from school today. It was if a British child had written it. It uses words that no American child would even know. So, I have pasted a copy of it in the blog so that you can see for yourself. If nothing else, the story is very entertaining. Amazing what a little international influence can have on a child.
