Activity 33

Although I am a Cambodian, the first language I learned was Mandarin. Back to the year when I was seven, my parents sent me to a private Mandarin school simply because I had been nagging to ride the school bus. So off I started my Mandarin school, my very first school. Fortunately (this is what I feel right now), the school incorporated a Khmer language class giving me the chance to learn the Cambodian language at the same time. However, it didn't go well at first, I sucked at the language to say the least. I remembered pretending to read by moving my lips up and down so that the teacher would assume that I was reading only my voice wasn't audible. I ended up getting my ass spanked in front of the class and I was made standing in front of the class for the entire session too.
