When my friends heard about certificate graduation, they are very happy and gave me a present. My father is very happy too and he buys me a new bike. I also tell my brother about the certificate after that he takes me to Angkor Wat temple for my success. Later, I went to my grandmother’s house. I told her about my success and she is very happy. Finally, I am very happy and grateful for my teachers, family and friends encourage me”.

One student, Van, expressed his feeling about his winning in Spelling Bee Competition with SK:” Hello teachers! My name is Van. I am 18 years old and am a student in Grade 12 at Angkor high school. I have got three brothers and two sisters. I am the fourth child.
I want to tell you about my success in Spelling Bee Competition. Salariin Kampuchea trains and coaches its students to improve their English. It was very proud of the six students who were the best of all. Among six of them, I was the first champion speller and it was the second time for me too. The reason that I got the success was coming from y working hard including the encouragement from my neighbors and teachers. Moreover, I want to know the words such as new word meanings, synonyms, part of speech and especially the pronunciations.
In that time, I wrote and read the words again and again. I also copies the words in my notebook classified by alphabet. I learnt about them all the times at home, school and other places.
Finally, I got successful and I was very satisfied. Next time, if I have an opportunity I will try my best again”.
