| On himself: | I am fifteen years old. I have four siblings, but none of them go to school. My parents are farmers. They grow rice, eggplant, chili, cucumber, and corn. I live right by the school.
|
| On the new building: | I am very happy to have the new building. It has new walls and a new roof. The old school was leaky. Whenever it rained, I would stay at home.
|
| Favorite subject: |
I like dictation most, because I can write very well.
|
| On his spare time: |
I help parents do work at home. I dam the rice paddies, and help plant crops. I only have time to play at school. I like to play soccer with my friends.
