| On herself:
|
I have six siblings. Four of them go to school with me. Our parents are both farmers. My mother also sells snacks. We live nearly 1 km away from the school.
|
| On the new building:
|
I am very pleased with the new school. I can learn better here, because the classrooms are larger. The classrooms were very small at the old school. The whole building was also slanted to one side. The rain would sometimes cause a few of the bricks to fall from the roof.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
I like math and Khmer. They’re both easy.
|
| On her spare time:
|
When I have spare time I study at home and review class notes so that I can remember them better.
|
| If she could have one wish:
|
I would wish that I could be a farmer.
|
| If she could travel anywhere:
|
I want to travel to Battambang, because there’s a zoo there. I like animals.
