Kids in a small town Kent across the Pacific Ocean

Hello!



My name is Jisue Kang and I go to Osong Elementary School. I am in the third class of fifth grade. Today, I would like to talk about how kids spend a year in a small town named Kent in the United States.


After a long flight over the Pacific Ocean, you get to Los Angeles on the west coast of the United States. Then, over the Rocky Mountain, to Yellowstone National Park, through the prairie, under the Gate Arch, south of the great Lake Erie, the small town Kent is located in northest Ohio.


When winter snow melts down, everything turns green, and birds fly back up from the south, there in Kent, one of the most fun things to do is go Easter Egg Hunting on the second Sunday of April. Also, families go strawberry and blueberry picking in June.


Once summer arrives at Kent, lots of things happen. At night on Independence day which is on the fourth of July, families come out together to watch awesome fireworks with their kids waving sparklers. Families go to the ball park to watch a baseball game of the Cleveland Indians. Kids big their dads to take them fishing on a lake. For summer vacation on the east coast, families spend time at the beach and go crab fishing. After that long 3 month summer break, one of the most important days comes.... BACK TO SCHOOL DAY! ON the weekend before back to school day, moms and kids go to Wal* Mart for school supply sales!!!


In the chilly fall, do you know the day kids love? HALLOWEEN! On the last day of October kids say "Trick or Treat" and get loads of candy. Families visit apple farms for their fresh apples to make apple pies and cider. And I can't forget that it's football season, the season when all families watch games on TV. Also, you have to be thankful for THANKSGIVING! Big families gather and everyone eats the basic Turkey with mashed potatoes.

Finally, in snowy winter every kid waits for Christmas. Plus, with all that snow, boys and girls in town go snow-sledding. A short break with got cocoa near the fire place is on e of the happiest moments in winter. At night, kids cheer while they watch LeBron James and his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, routing the other team. And then it starts a new year and kids are ready to star all over again.


I always miss the precious times I've had in that small town Kent, and I hope all of you here can share my wonderful experience.


Thank you for listening!
