On himself:
|
I have four brothers and five sisters. Two of my siblings are studying with me at school. My parents are both farmers. Our house is right by the school.
|
On the new building:
|
I like it a lot. It’s so easy to study in. I also used to study at the school in the pagoda, but I didn’t like it as much as I do this school.
|
Favorite subject:
|
Math. I think that subject is very important. Math makes it easier for a person to expand his knowledge.
|
On his summer vacation
|
I will look after our cows and feed our ducks.
|
In the future:
|
I want to become a teacher, because there aren’t enough of them.
|
If he could make any wish:
|
I would wish for a car. A taxi.
|
If he could travel anywhere:
|
I’d go to Phnom Penh and see the Royal Palace.
