Once upon a time, there was a family from United States named the Reyes family.They have cousins there names were Angelica, Jennie, and Lee. Because it was summer, they went to the Philippines and also because they want to visit there relatives in the Philippines. When they went to the airplane the cousins said \u201cwere so excited to go to the Philippines and to visit our relatives\u201d! Then when they went to the Philippines, in mid April 2019 Lee said \u201cwow\u201d! and Jennie said \u201cthis country is wonderful because the people were kind, generous, and has a sense of humor\u201d! After that, they went to a hotel were there relatives live in a count of 3 they said \u201c 1,2,3 surprise” there relatives didn\u2019t expect that the Reyes family will come to visit. Then when Angelica said \u201clolo what can we eat in the Philippines, when it\u2019s summer\u201d? and lolo said \u201chalo-halo\u201d and Angelica said \u201chalo-halo\u201d? and lolo said \u201cyes, halo-halo because halo-halo is a kind of ice cream in the Philippines\u201d. Then when they ate halo-halo Jennie said \u201cthank you\u201d and lola said \u201cyour welcome\u201d. They went to Boracay and they dived in the water they also went to an island then when they were resting mom had an announcement and mom said \u201cJennie, Angelica, and lee because you like here in the Philippines can we stay here for 2 months\u201d? and the cousins happily said \u201cYes\u201d! Then because there relatives were happy that the Reyes Family went to the Philippines, they went to Kidzania Manila. Then once they get there, they played games and Jennie became a pilot, Angelica became a doctor, and Lee became an electrical engineer. Then while there parents and relatives were waiting they went to Mcdonalds to eat then the cousins went to SM Manila to shop then when they went to there hotel they slept. Then when they woke up there relatives said \u201cwe have a big surprise in Batangas\u201d. And they dressed up as fast as they could. Then when they went to Batangas, they were glad that they have a school in the Philippines and it was named St. Therese of the Child Jesus Multiple Intelligence School. After that there relatives were so happy because they have S.A.M. and U.E.C. but the cousins loved U.E.C. more because they can show-off there english skills. After there busy day, they played with friends but there problem was filipino language but they still talked to each other by using body language. Suddenly, they went to SM Batangas, to buy food. Then lee told Jennie that she really likes Philippines but still she respects there country which is United States. After there shop in SM Batangas they went to Manila because the cousins want to see Philippine Heroes. Once they go there they saw Dr. Jose Rizal, Lapu-Lapu, Apolinario Mabini, and much more. Then they went to a Korean Restaurant nearby. And after they ate they bought ice cream because it was very hot and its summer. After that they went to the hotel and slept. When it was morning they went to Batangas because the cousins will study. While the relatives are waiting they were story telling, chattering about someone or something, and use there phones. After the cousins class they sat on a bench for 10 minutes. When there break was over they realize that it was already 2 months the cousins cried and said \u201cwe will miss you lolo, lola, tito, tita. Then they said \u201cgoodbye\u2019 it was the time to go to United States and when they went to United States they already talked about there experience in the Philippines.<\/p>\n
