On herself: | I am ten years old. My grandfather is the school director [Mr. Chan]. My parents are farmers. They plant eggplants, chili, and rice. I have three siblings. None of them are studying at this school. I live one kilometer from the school.

On the new building: | I am very happy now that I have the new building. The roof is made of wood and cement and covered with tiles. When I was studying at the old building, rain would disturb me. It would make my clothes and books wet.
|
Favorite Subject: | I like physical education the best. It makes me healthy. I like climbing rope and racing.
|
On her spare time: | After school, I read and go over the lessons. Afterwards, I take care of my siblings.

In the future: |
I’d like to be a teacher. If I could do anything, I would study at university.

The plasters on her face:

I put the plasters on because they help me with my headache. Their strong smell helps relieve the pain. I’ve also swallowed some pills to take away the headache. |
