Makara’s Sonnet: I Want to Go to Play!
One type of poetry is called sonnets. A sonnet has a pattern. The sonnets we wrote had 14 lines with 10 syllables in each one. We had to make the first and third lines rhyme as well as the second and fourth. We wrote three four line blocks following the same rhyming pattern. The last two lines also had to rhyme.
I want to go to play with my cousins.
Oh, no I have a lot of works to do.
I need to go bake a cake and muffins.
The smell from the hot oven makes me spew.
Oh my god! the cake is burnt and turn black
I quickly take out cake from the oven.
Fire from the oven makes me dark.
I run out and it burn down the kitchen.
My mom blames me and I feel really sad.
I need to go to sweep and mop the floor.
I thought, maybe I can get help from dad.
But, he can’t because his body is sore.
Okay, that’s enough work for this morning.
Do not give me more works, I want to go to play!

I Go to an Unusual School
I go to an unusual school. My school’s name is Liger Learning Center (LLC). LLC students were selected from many schools in Cambodia. They had to pass many types of tests to come to this school. They were chosen from the families that don’t have enough money for their children to learn English, or go to a private school. LLC is a boarding school with 50 students. Each student takes an Exploration every seven weeks with one learning facilitator and 12 or 13 students. An Exploration is a project that we choose to do in order to learn about something and a project that can help to solve real problems in society. Also, within that Exploration sometimes we have field trips. If we just learn only from the internet, books, or listening to the teacher all the time that’s not the same as if we go on the trip because we can see and learn from the actual situation. I really like this school because when I was in my province, I knew no English. When I came here I learned English and I can talk with foreign people. The best part of this school is becoming a change agent in Cambodia. In the government schools they don’t focus on that. So, it makes me think of what can I do to make my country become better and better. Also, another part that I like the most is going on the field trips because it allows me to learn more from real life.
