“I like to study math more than any other subject because I am good at it. I got a score of 10 out of 10 in this subject during the first semester exam.”
“I attend school in the morning, help my family by grazing the eight cows my parents own in the afternoon, and study at home in the evening by myself.”
“I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up, but I vow to continue my studies unto the university level.”
