When Sophea was a ten-year-old girl she lived in a small village in the countryside. Every morning, she helped her mother before school. Then she walked to school with her friends.

Sophea liked school, and her favorite subject was English. She knew English was important for her future. She wanted to be a tour guide and talk to people from other countries.

In class, she listened carefully and learned new words. At home, she watched English videos and read small books. She also taught her little brother simple English words.
