On herself:
|
I have a brother and
a sister. My younger brother is studying here with me, while my older sister
stays at home. My parents are both farmers. Our house is about 150 meters away
from here.

|
On the new building:
|
I'm very pleased
because I've got new and more friends here. The old school was far away from
here as well--eight kilometers. On a bike, the trip to school took about half an
hour. The old building had a tiled roof. I only had a few friends there. Nobody
liked the old building, so few came to study there.
|
|
Favorite subject:
|
Math, because it's
easy to do multiplications, additions, and subtractions.
|
|
If she could wish
for anything:
|
I would wish for
more school equipment for the students here, like rulers, pencils, pens,
notebooks, and chalk.
|
|
In the future:
|
I want to be a
farmer because I want to do what my parents are doing.
|
|
On her summer
vacation:
|
I will bring water
and cook rice. I'll also be watering the vegetables and finding food for our
pigs.
|
|
If she could travel
anywhere
|
I'd go to Pailin; I've never been there. I want
to see it once. I would visit the hanging bridge there. My cousin used to live
there and she'd told be about it.
