Why????????????

This is not a real blog but just a question to ask that why people post only a little for their goodbye? Don't they enjoy it much? Don't you want to say anything more at all? I wonder why? This is a good bye my friend. A good bye is hard for me so I'll say fare well to everyone in this class.

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.

"Time passes, things change" Yeah........that's true. We're all gonna be GEP graders next term. We all need to work harder than we did this term and it's also the right time to say "Thanks You& Good Bye" to everybody although some of them I don't even know their faces but we're still friends and classmates . Hope to see everyone again in the future . I love you all and also Kathleen, You're such a good teacher. You always give me ideas and suggestions to improve my skills . I'm gonna miss you all . Smile Up, Dudes ! :) Good Lucks !

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!!!

Goodbye....for now

I never thought I'd say this but it's time I said said..... err what was it again? Oh yes! I forgot! I never thought I'd say goodbye but it's time I do. It's been a few months since I first posted on this blog. Time flows so fast when you don't notice it. When I first got to class, I thought that three months was a long time, but I finally realised that the best treasure in the world is - time. However, now it's time to say goodbye. But you know what? This is the first blog I've ever posted and I can feel the joy and happiness when I post things on the blog. How I feel now? I just feel just plain emptiness and a bit of sadness because this is my last post. Anyways, let's get to the main point. I just want to say goodbye to all, to all my friends, to all of those who've read this blog and I appreciate all of you who have spent your precious time reading our posts.

Goodbye, young learners 15 blog, I'm going to miss you, but remember! It's only goodbye for now!

Let me tell you Goodbye

Hello, blog-mates and teacher.Who knows whether we will met again all together at the very next term? So, this must be my most amazing minute(a very emotional one, I supposed) to tell you how this term means to me. I would say this is the last post of mine you all will have ever read. I will never forget how much fun and challenges I have had in this term which I've learned a lot from. This term is so fantastic that I really enjoy and is now going away so fast that I 'm really gonna miss it. From normal introductive writing to essay( not quite academic,I guess), I am a risk taker and I enjoyed it.Well, I have improved and thank you, all of you, for having shown how good and how bad I am at writing skill (by anyhow), so far. It has also been a great and unforgettable experience here ,on the site. Furthermore, I think I am so lucky to have been accompanied with such great classmates and our wonderful teacher.

This may not be the most well written one that I've posted, but I just want to express it straight to you from my heart and hopefully, you will enjoy this post. I wish all of you good, peaceful lives and well, now let me tell you goodbye, but it doesn't mean forever.

And teacher, thank you so much for your kindness that you've tried so hard on teaching us and make us feel more comfortable and enjoy the class. Hope we all can keep in touch.

Farewell...

When I was planning this term, I knew I wanted to spend more time on writing.  When Phillip told me about the blog his students were doing, I thought - that sounds like a perfect way to practice both reading and writing, and have fun too.  I hope you've enjoyed it.   10 weeks is not a long time to make big changes, but I certainly have seen improvement in your writing.  When I graded the final writing essays, I knew that all of your blogging had made a difference in your writing!  I am proud of you!

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. :)

Old Memories:The Last Goodbye

Well, I hate to say it, but perhaps this is the last day of class which make this the last post I should write. I had so much fun study with my friends and my teacher but 3 months seems like a blink to me. I remember how we used to study and laugh altogether. And when a friend make a mistake we always tease one another and laugh. Usually, when studying we often mix the lessons with gags, made me forget everything I was nervous about. When working in groups some of our friends often tease the others on the other groups when they said something wrong, it might feel a little embarrass, but still if it worth a fun time a little embarrass is okay. When we have a friend who haven't his or her homework we always let them copy some parts, but when teacher arrives we took our books back and pretend like nothing have happened. But today, the last day, I'm feeling a bit nervous because if I don't get over 80 percents I might not be in the same class as them, but they told me not to be nervous, be happy for what I get, but we have came this far, I'm afraid if we would not be able to meet each other again, but if they get to go to a higher level, I'm still going to be happy for them. I guess that's it! After this far, the final day has come, if I get over 80 percents, that would be great. But a thing is going to be missing, teacher won't be in the graduation and that made things a little awkward because everyone is going to enjoy themselves but teacher won't be there. Anyway, it has been such a class I've taken...
