| On himself:
|
I am eleven years old and have three siblings. They are all at school. My father is a farmer, and my mother is a teacher. My house is situated almost three kilometers away from school, and it takes me thirty minutes by bike to get here.
|
| On the new building:
|
I am happy to study here. The building is new, the walls have many nice pictures, and it has door and windows to let in the fresh air when they are opened. I didn’t like studying at the old building, because it was too old. When the wind blew, the whole building would sway.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
Math. It’s important that you are able to use it when you trade.
|
| In his spare time:
|
I cut banana trees to make pig-feed. I also study.
|
| In the future:
|
I want to be a farmer to grow rice and feed my family. If I could be anything, however, I would be a teacher and pass my knowledge onto the next generation.
|
| If he could travel anywhere:
|
I would go to see my friends and relatives around my house.
