| On himself:
|
I have two brothers and two sisters. Two of my siblings are studying at school with me. I’m the second oldest after my sister. Both my parents are farmers. My father used to be in the army, but after he was demobilized and became a farmer. Our house is right next to the school.
|
| On the new building:
|
I am very happy because this school is close to my house. The old school was also useless in keeping out the rain, whereas at this school rain is never a problem.
|
| Favorite subject:
|
I like social studies because it’s easy.
|
| On his spare time:
|
I help look after our durian trees and also look after our cows.
|
| In the future:
|
I want to be a teacher.
|
| If he could travel anywhere:
|
I want to go to Siem Reap. It’s a good place, and I want to see the temples there.
