“I like studying Khmer literature because Khmer grammar is easier to learn than other subjects. I make only small mistakes in dictation. I read a lot of Khmer legends.”
“Mathematics is the most difficult subject for me. This subject is the worst ones compared with the other three subjects in the school’s program. I think that I should spend more time on this subject to progress to the same level as the other subjects.”
“When I grow up I want to be an artist. I don’t think that an artist can earn more money than other skills, but I am good at drawing and have a talent for it.”
