My family's life

            In a small village that had several house after we came back from Khmer Rouge. My parents, my grandma start living on a land which contain with a lot of grass and everything was not clean. From day to day all they try to clean this land until it became a real land that everyone wanna live. After, they start to build a small house. But, for the other who came to live as my parents, they no need to build a new house because they got the house already. My mother told me that, some houses that were taken away from the old landlord during Pol Pot regime, some of the landlords still alive and other were killed at that time that why they cannot come to live in their old places.

            My mother took a new cupboard from the other house in this village because in the village everyone can take a look in every house they like. At that time on one wanna get something from the other house because they think that maybe it has a new war like Khmer Rouge; therefore, they don’t wanna bring something with if they have to live away from home, like in Khmer Rouge people have to leave from the city and live in the countryside in order to do farm and no one can be the highest and the other can not be the lowest position. Everyone has the equal right to live in.

            After living in a new house my mother started to do a business and at that time she did a business outside country. Every morning she had to go to Vietnam in order to sell moto equipments. She came back home at night time. She did like this everyday in order to help my father to support my family. My father is a poor teacher, in the class he taught math subject. He loved this job because in the past he had a high salary and his salary can support two or three family. Every morning he went to school at 7am and he came back at 11am in the morning. More than these, he had to do fishing in order to reduce some money from buying food in the market. You know I used to follow him to find food outside village, and some of my older sibling also. He didn't want to stay at home when he was free. Talking about my grandma,  

My Friendly Friends

I have Two friends when i was at College. First is Linda and Second is Kunthy. They all are friendly and helpful student in the class. Linda is a person who is always help the other who have a problem, but she is also a nasty girl in my class. Kunthy is a gentle woman, kind, helpful and beautiful also. They are came from different places. Linda, came from Kampong Ror District and Svay Rieng Provieng, in the opposite Kunthy came from Kos soten District and Kampong Cham province. I love them very much. We always go out all together. Kunthy live in adormatory and Linda live at her uncle house. In recedently, i go to Linda's house becasue we have to discuss everything related to our studying.

My favourite food

Today I am going to tell you about my favourite food. Everyone must has they own favourite food, sport, dress and so on. On the other hand, i want to talk about only one thing is food that you read the whole message below:

Firstly, I want to say thank you to my mum because she is a good housewife and she always cook for us. You know the foods that she cook it was delicious and i dont wanna be away from homne. However, i still wanna live far away from home because i think that if i live independ so i will learn something new outsite and i can solve the problem that hapen in sudently.

Secondly, i want to describe about my life in the past. When i was 15 years old i start to like this kind of food very much, the name of the food is SOUP. I think it is khmer food and i would like to say sorry because i dont know how to cook only my mum and you also how to cook. Anyway, I like this kind of food becasue when we cook it we mix some vegetable, meat and something that related the soup in order to make our soup become delicious.

Thirdly, while we are eating soup we can drink wine during these time becasue it make our feel is more happy when we have a family meeting. For my family we always having dinner under the moon becasue at that time i live in a small house and we have a plenty of family's members. Sometimes, we use candle on the food table. I feel so interested in my young age becasue of the situation in that time i can see the colorfull of my house, the tree, pet, and the invironment around my house also.

In finally, i wanna thank you to all my family's member that they spent much time to look after me, especilly my grand mother, she love us so much and she is a very good woman in my life.

My visiting School

Today morning i went to High School which located to Prey Chhor district. I went there with 5 people. And we went by a car. When we arrived there i met a director of that school and he told us some information related to his school. For example: when we entered in the class which just was built in this year and this class also they have to put thirdteen computers in downstair and they not use the electricity they only use the sun shine and the other room they make a lab and they make a library in the upstair for both two classes. I think it is the good way becasue the school no neet to pay for the electricity everymoth and they can saving money for their school also. And outside class, Cookie saw a poster that made from the stone and than she ask me about the name and money on the poster that they wrote on it, and i told her that, that the doner's names, but some of the doners they no need to givepeople include me. Cookie, the one who coming from india and she have to take a look to the classroom and she going to help Mr. Channa about IT.
That school has six buildings and most of them are look too old. On the other hand, a few of them still using, but some not becasue sometimes the roof will fall down on the floor so they can not learn in the class like that. In the class i saw the picture of King Sihakmoney, Sihanok and his wife that they put on the wall in order to make students to remember well about the king of Cambodia. Outside the class is not clean becasue they have a vacation for two months and they will coming back to study on the first on october, 2010.

My work's life

In July 26, 2010 i got a new job a i work for KAPE( Kampuchean Action for Primary Education). I just finished my examination and i came here to work as an intern. I help Tom to translate from English to Khmer. He is an american man. He is old, tall, hansome and he also a kind man. In the office, it had around eight people.First, i met some problem with the stranlation. Some word in Khmer it had no in English so it hard for me to tell about the English word or sentences. I have to look at the sentences and khmer posters which describe about Khmer lesson and vocabulary. I and him had to go to Phnom Penh to ask the information from some places that run a business, he make a questionare t ask the shop owner. More than these, we have to quote the paper's price from the printing house and we had to look at the website of the posters that we have to follow them, we look at the size of the poster, the price, color, and we have to clear for all the information related to the posters and the price. Sometimes, when we came back from Phnom Penh we have to make a phone call to ask the information from the printing house, printing shop in order to make sure that they have a real price.
