When the new school was built, I was very happy because we’ve never had a building like this. The old school would sometimes flood, and it was impossible to teach then. The new school is located on a better land. The old school grounds were small. The new school is located almost on the same spot as the old school was, but is higher up, and the school ground is much bigger. We have a lot more land given to the school this time.
It’s easier to teach the student now. Also, the students are more eager to study. At the old school, some students couldn’t come to study at all because of the floods during the rainy season. |
