            Khmer New Year is a traditional new year day in Cambodia. It celebrates in April or sometimes in March depending on a day in the calendar of each year. It always celebrates 3 days in a year. During these 3 days, all Cambodian always go to the pagoda and bring some foods for monk. They can go not only in the morning, but also in the afternoon, as well. Some people like to go to the pagoda in the afternoon, while some of them usually go to the pagoda in the morning. Moreover, in the afternoon and evening they prefer to play popular games or go for a walk instead. On Khmer New Year many people who live in towns or places which are very far from the capital city, they often come and visit the capital city because on that day in the capital city is very happy and has a lot of fun activities to do. In contrast, many people who live in the capital city prefer to go to their hometown or visit another cities or provinces instead. Because they think that they live in the capital city every day so it’s just the same activities and not so interesting for them, while people who live in another province think that it’s really interesting. All Cambodian really love this traditional holiday and they always enjoy their holiday on that day.

My Lovely Pet

            I like pet. Especially, dogs. In my house has a lot of dogs. My dogs have different kinds of each other. Some dogs are small, big, short, and tall. Moreover, their body hair colors are not the same too. Some dogs have black body hair; some have white, some have brown, and some dogs have a mix color body hair. When I see all of my dogs, I never feel lonely, bored, or tired. However, I always happy when I  see all of them. They are very smart, lovely, and they have a good behave. For example, when I am eating something they never sit near me. However, when I am alone and do not do or eat anything they always come and play with me. On the other hand, sometime they do a terrible thing too. Sometime they defecate in the house and make the house messy. When they do like that I’m very angry, and I want to hit them, but when I want to hit them, they always run away from me. Sometime they make a putrid smell in the house, but I think animals do not know and understand everything like us as a human, so they cannot do everything perfectly as we need. However, I still love them because when I play with all of them, I feel very happy and never feel lonely.

My first week at Zaman University.

            My first time at Zaman University was on 12^th Tuesday, October, 2011. This  time was very important to me, because I needed to get some information from this  university. When I first came to this University, I was very interested and excited, but I was a little bit scared too, because I thought I was a  new student and I did not know about the University’s rules, especially I had never known anyone in the university before. However, surreal; it was different from my thinking. All of teachers and all students in the university were very friendly and kind. They explained all things that related with Zaman University to me. My favorite subject is the Integrated Main Course, because I truly want to be the best in academic English. I think that I’m a lucky guy because I have the chance to study the skill that I want, and especially I meet a lot of  professors with a qualify at teaching. I hope that to be successful in my major and become a brilliant student.
