On the new building:	“I love the new building because I have never seen a building like this.”
On school subjects:	“I like mathematics best because I like numbers. When I grow up, I will be able to sell things and have my own small business.”
If I could go anywhere…:	“I would go with my family to Angkor to view the temples, because it is the most famous thing in Cambodia.”
