Love you guys <3
Last Farewell
3months? I thought it was a long period but that's not. At first i didn't want to enroll for this time and days because i had an idea that the study time is so long so it must be boring and when i entered the class, i felt it was not gonna be fun and joyful . Everybody seemed to be a hard-working student and yeah, it's correct that they have been working really hard . Moreover, When the teacher first told us about doing the blog, i felt tired and thought "Huh? It's gonna be complicated !" . But differently, Young Learners 15 is such a fun class , we discussed through every tiny piece of things and the teacher was so friendly and helpful . She taught us a lot of things and of course through the blog , i can feel everybody improved and me also in the writing skill. I had so much fun during each lesson , understood and got lots of experiences from the teachers and classmates . Unfortunately, finally this term has came to its end. I feel so upset and miss all the time that we were together while i'm writing this post . It was so fast just like a few seconds and regretted for my thought, I should have been more optimistic about the class . However , I enjoyed the blog , the reading circle , the games and everything that we have done through this term.
Memories
What a world! It's been 3 month already since we started this class. Time sure is fast when you're not noticing it.
For this whole term it was full of new knowledges and, of course, joys. My memorable time with my classmate especially Enix, Ati, Steven, Monineath, Nissa, Srey Len, P.2 and Tep will never be forgotten. Let me show you about a little something that I want to show them and everyone else.
First, Enix and Srey Len. I don't have the time or the guts to speak with them more. I barely know them even though I'm happy to have them around and to see their smiles. Enix is a bit funny and warm. His mother wants him to be a doctor, an architecture and a lawyer. That's a bit too much, right? But I hope he will be able to achieve his real dreams and be happy. Srey Len, I even know less about her. But one thing I know about her is that she has a very pure heart and she's a trustworthy person. She's a good friend!
Second, Ati, Tep and Steven. For Ati and Steven, I don't really know how many terms that we've spent together. For Tep, I've only known him in this term. But one thing is that I like them very much. Even, in class, we fight, argue and went through piles of competition also I'm the only girl amongs them; actually we have quite alots of things in common. I hope we stay friend forever! Keep smiling! XD
Third, Monineath and Nissa. Monineath is kind, funny, opened, and a bit talkative too. She teased me much too and she's very smart. She's a bit attractive, somehow, and also so beautiful both inside and outside. For Nissa, I'm so sorry about one thing. On one Saturday I went to Sovanna shopping center to pick a headset with my mommy. Her mother was the seller and she's recognize me, but for me and my mom, so sorry, we didn't recognize her. Although, I'm glad you too join our class.
Fourth, P.2. He's so smart and sometimes he's funny too. I've never seen someone memorizing the chemistry set like him, I think he's gonna be a scientist! I never think of him as my competitor but I like him as a friend.
Umm,...don't think that the end yet. I love Katheleen! I love our teacher the most! At first, to be honest I don't really like her because she blames me for being talkative. But after I realize I start to like her way of speaking and talking. Hope you have a good life, a good wealth, good health. Love you forever teacher.
P.S: sorry for those I haven't mention, It just that I haven't so closed to you guys
P.S.S: to P.2 Tep (especially ) Steven and Ati, my word "I Like you"please don't think it is gross, it just friendship things
P.S.S.S: I love you my class!!!

Farewell...
I've appreciated your creativity and your willingness to try new things. Some of you have gone above and beyond the requirements, and have taken risks to push yourself to a new level. Each of you has a distinct personality that comes across in your writing, and I've enjoyed your different perspectives. We have poets, philosophers, dreamers, thinkers, and creative people in this class!
My greatest hope is that you will continue expressing your thoughts and feelings after this class is finished. I hope that you won't only do what you have to do for school. Challenge yourself to go beyond what most people would be happy with. Do more. It's ok to be different from others.
Please don't lose heart when the studying gets difficult or boring. Keep yourself interested in learning by researching and reading about topics you love. Yes - please read! It will take you further than you realize. It's a great way to explore the world without a plane ticket.
You are the next generation of Cambodians to make a difference in your country, and in the world. You don't have to do be famous to make a difference. Do what you can. As E. Hale said:
I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
-Edward Everett Hale
Feel free to keep in touch with me - you have a friend in the U.S.! I wish you much happiness in your life. Thank you for welcoming me to Cambodia. My young learner classes have been a great joy to teach and I leave with those good memories.
all the best,
Kathleen

Good Bye!!!
I never expected that time's going this fast. Seems like we were just saying HELLO a few days ago and it's time to say good-bye now. It's very hard to say this piece of words but it's better than never get a chance to say it.
Well, we shared thousands of happiness together and I'll never forget those memories, for sure. Thanks so much to my dearest teacher, whom I learned lots of things from her. And, to my beloved friends, who were very kind to me.^^
A good start ends with a good end... This is a very good end.
So, Good bye!!!
Good Luck to everyone....hope to see you again. :)

#NEVERSAYNEVER(Rev)
Looking at this post’s title, you might be laughing. Your must have an idea pops out of your head that this post is about Justin Bieber’s first movie ever #NEVERSAYNEVER. But that’s not the point because here I’m writing about a very ordinary phrase “Never Say Never” and I’ll be give you explanations to this phrase , what this does really mean and of course also a life of who believes in this phrase , uses this phrase and what that guy has received so far as He never says never.
“Never Say Never” was first said by the most famous English-Novelist , Charles Dickens in 1937, but that phrase hasn’t became famous. Later on, when a 15 years old boy whose name is Justin Bieber, was invited to record a soundtrack for a movie which is named “Karate Kids”, millions of people started having interests on the phrase and soon it became a hit one that many people use it. As that phrase became famous , Justin Bieber was encouraged to made a movie in 3D about his miracle life in which unexpected things kept happening to him. "Never Say Never" is shortened from Never say or believe that things will never happen , Impossible is nothing. Future is unpredictable so why do we have to give up for what we dream for ? Giving up doesn't make any sense and once you give up, the next time when you feel tired of doing things , you may again give up. It can become your habit and that habit is bad. As his life, at first it was like losing in the middle of the huge pacific ocean , didn't know what direction to go for but he and his mother had never taken themselves down . He grew as a poor child living in Stratford, Canada that his mum only afforded to buy him 2 sets of clothes each year . He also had to take part in earning money for his family so he used to go to the town centre and played his guitar in the street for money as he is talented in guitar . He also won a song competition in the town and he was ranked 2. He got to the fame when his video singing a cover of Chris Brown's With Yougot 10 millions views in Youtube and Scooter Braun , the director of Island Def Jam Record found him and had so much interests in him . He was then flew to the US to start his career. He debut with his first album "My world" and his first song "One Time" it was a hit . But he was known the most when he released "Baby"which was featured with Ludacris and the music video of this song is the most viewed video on Youtube that has already got 570,968,030 views by the time I'm writing this post. All of his songs in his 2nd album "My World 2.0" went in to the billboard chart . One of his biggest success is his movie "Never Say Never"which earned more than 30 millions dollars on the opening week and it was a hit that also Barack Obama, president of the US, watched this movie and said this is such a great and inspiring movie .
As we see , his life can be said as a very spectacular life and i wonder to know how many exist . But i have an idea that if we follow what the phrase means , we'll be able to have this miracle life . So that I'm writing this in order to encourage every body to Never say never. Keep trying till our death , we'll be able to reach it one day in the sooner or later future . We must believe in miracles , Nothing is Impossible .

My vacation
While me and my cousin was looking at the animal’s farm we heard “BANG!” . A loud noise came from a barn. We quickly ran to the barn and we found that the person who made the noise was my father. He was carrying an axe on his shoulder. “What are you doing, dad?” I asked him. “Oh! I am preparing things to get some wood with your uncle. Do you want to go with us?” said my father. “That’ll be fun” said Oudom. “I’ll be there, how about you? Will you go there?” “Ok! But wait me a minute I have to take some water first” I replied.
So I turned and walked to the house, then suddenly I step on something. “Ewww!” it was a horse’s dung. “Ha ha ha” Oudom laughed loudly at me.
“You should be more careful next time, Nissa” said Oudum.
Then I walked to the house very embarrassed. When I came back I joined the group and enjoyed our day.

Floodland Final Project
2 Children Row to the Mainland
A 10 years old girl and an 8 years old have made a remarkably incredible success of getting to the mainland, through sea, just in a tiny derelict rowing boat. The girl, Zoe Black and her travel companion, Munchkin Porter landed in Hope and met Zoe 's parents, Mr.and Mrs. Black, in Newhome community about a week ago and now live as a family.
Therefore, an exclusive interview was brought up yesterday with Zoe and Munchkin by British Media Group in the Black's small cottage in the purpose to get everyone their true story of surviving .
"It was about a year ago when I got separated from my parents in Norwich.", answered Zoe to our first question. Since she was left behind, she kept on moving around the ruined town, especially, at the remains of warehouses until she luckily spotted the rowing boat with oars, only fit for 2 people. Zoe continued that she made her escape from the sinking land after being chased by people who were also begging for her to take them them with her. She didin't go back but went on rowing till she arrived on the called "Eel island" where she met Munchkin.
"Zoe was thought to be a spy from another tribe and was about to be killed but because of her boat, the ex-leader, Dooby decided not to.", said Munchkin as the interview was in progress. But their time there on the isle didn't last long when a deadly clash occurred. They were never expected to escape together. Zoe wanted an old man, who was said to have been her greatest helper, to go with her while she was wanted by Dooby for the second escape. "William refused so I think I 'll have to leave for my life"said Zoe. As she and Dooby were missing from the crowd during the clash, Munchkin and another boy,Spat who both knew where the boat was chased them. Dooby was distracted by the fight he was having with Spat. Seeing this, Munchkin swam to the boat and rowed away with Zoe.
Zoe added that the second escape was another situation of frustration and fear. They kept on rowing until they were swept away from the boat by a big sea storm and nearly died because of drowning. Fortunately, fishermen from Hope saved them and brought them to the hospital. Arriving on the mainland with relief, they continued their search for Zoe's parents who were believed to be in Newhome. "It was a tiring 2 days walk with not knowing where we were going but wishing for the help of God.",exclaimed Munchkin. They finally found Mr. and Mrs. Black by the help of a woman, Mrs. Clifrance. Their quest was finished with a successful result.

My magical pencil
An automatic purple with an easy grip for holding without hurting my fingers when I am writing essay or doing homework is my pencil. It is a very useful thing for me when I'm in an important situation. Examination is the thing that I must do the best to get good score.So I always use it.
I noticed that when I used my pencil during examination , I always passed my exam. I feel happy that I have this lucky pencil.I bought it perhaps 2 years ago in the bookshop.However, everybody thinks that it is expensive. But for me it's not because a useful pencil that can help me when I need help is important than everything.
If we have good score in an exam, we go to higher level. The graduation day comes we can see the good result of our ability.Finding a job is thing that people must do to support their living everyday. So it means that a small pencil can also help us to find a bright future.Pencil is a friend that every students bring it to school with them in order to help all the students to do anything that they want.
As I am a student that I have a good pencil with me every time and everywhere. I would like to advise all of you that you should buy a pencil that you really like to travel with you wherever.

My Favourite Piece of Writing
We have been doing blog through out the level, but i think there aren't enough because the number of blogs that most of us have written is below ten. Anyway I think my best piece of writing is ' My Favorite Gift ' because it reminds me a lot about my and my best friend's memories, also I've got the most compliments and comments from it. I'll try my best on giving more ideas, details and make the writing structure better. Thanks all to you guys :)

My favorite piece of writing?

One Time
We've written alot of topics lately, haven't we? But we don't know yet about what any owner favorite subject of all is. So this week blog is about "My Favorite Blog Of All Time" .
Start with me! Well, my favorite subject is, "It's me, Mickey!", my late introduction. I know my writing is not that good, that long, or that meaningful and my grammar is pretty lame; but I did try from the bottom of my tiny heart. Please understand!
The whole reason why I choose this blog?? Hmm, it's that I love to introduce myself to the whole wide world. Just to tell you, it's not like I want to be the center of attention or anything! It's just that people usually look at me in the wrong way. They would look at me,...and say this girl is a gangster, this girl is rude, this girl is cold, this girl is so childish. On the other hand, the girl that they are gossiping about is just trying to be nice also this girl doesn't get along easily with strangers.
Just to recap the information, "It's me, Mickey!" is always the best writing in my heart because it contain what is me in its' meaning. And also,
P.S: I wrote it from my heart, please understand it even if it's not that long.
P.S.S: Please help to notify any mistake(s) I've made in my paragraph.
Thank you for your reading, your enjoyment AND your thinking!

Kung Fu Panda 2
Oh! My Lady
It started when a 35 years old divorced woman, Yoon Gae Hwa just lost her job and took her new job as the house cleaner of a famous top star Sung Min Woo. She worked very hard to earn enough money to regain custody of her daughter, Min Ji, from her ex-husband. Min Woo suddenly found out that he's made his ex-girlfriend pregnant 4years ago and now the mother sent her little daughter, Ye Eun to her dad to raise the illegitimate child by himself. Firstly, he didn't accepted that Ye Eun was his child, till he saw the DNA testing result. As a famous star, Min Woo was facing a difficult charged in taking care of Ye Eun. So, he paid Gae Hwa to take care of his daughter and let Gae Hwa move into his condominium. The romantic and hilarity grew up from day to day...
What would happen next? Would Min Woo reveal the truth to his fans?
Well, Please check it out... Oh! My lady is now on DVD.

We are proud of our ancestors,but are they proud of us?
I believe that we sometimes think that this is the society we are living in and we have to adjust ourselves into it. Nonetheless, when is it going to be ended? We are the next generation to run Cambodia. Even if we are still teenagers, we can do something to prevent this tragedy from going even further. It is not too late, the Earth is still spinning, and it is time for recoveries for what have made us suffer and it is also the minute we acted if our aim is to impress the spirits of our ancestors and the next generation and especially, ourselves.As mentioned, our country is going up or down depends on us. So, we can together lead our country to a higher level if each of us turn back to our books and focus on studying as soon as you finish reading this post. Please consider everything you do, and think"Am I doing the right thing for Cambodia?"
P.S Remember, we are the original owners of Khmer culture but we are not the only ones who share it.
