| On herself:
|
I have seven sisters. Four of them are at school. My parents are both farmers. Our house is just down the road from school.
|
| On the new building:
|
I’m very happy with the new school. It’s much more comfortable to study here. I used to be afraid that the old school would collapse. Whenever it started raining, the wind would blow into our classroom. Sometimes the wind would also take away a few tiles. The new building is solid; we don’t have any more problems with wind or rain.

I like Khmer the most. Understanding Khmer makes me enjoy the rest of my studies more.

A doctor.
