On himself:
|
My father repairs bicycles. He is also a farmer, together with my mom. I have a sister and a brother; my brother studies at school with me. Our house is almost a kilometer from here.
|
On the new building:
|
I like the new school and it makes me want to study. I used to study here, but went on to another school after I passed my exam. The roof of that school was full of holes, and so were the walls. Whenever it would rain, we would get wet.
|
On his summer vacation:
|
I will help my parents with their work. I’ll look after our cows and catch fish.
|
If he could make any wish:
|
A car! So that I can be a taxi driver.
|
In the future:
|
I want to be a teacher.
Not a taxi driver? I need to earn money first before I can buy a car.
|
If he could travel anywhere:
|
I would go to Phnom Penh and see the Royal Palace.
