Hi.  Everyday I wake up at 5:30 am, and I make my bed, and clean my room.  I usually eat rice for breakfast.  At 7 o'clock, I go out for a walk.  At 9 o'clock, I go to my English school ACE.  When I come back home, I help my mom sell things and I do chores.  At 1 o'clock, I go to study Khmer at my Khmer school.  I usually hang out with my friends.  My Khmer school is a very old school, but a few of the buildings are new.  In the back of the school they sell food and drink.  So I buy this food and drink for lunch, and then when the school finishes, I go home and eat dinner at 6:00 pm.  Then I go to Chinese school from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.  The study time is a little boring, but also a little fun.  At 8:00 pm, when school finishes, I hang out with my friends.  At 9:00 pm, I go home.

Now I want to describe about a typical day.  I wake up at 6 am.  I eat bread for breakfast, sometimes.  I go to school everyday.  I go to school at 7 am.  I like Sisowath high school.  I always study at school, and sometimes I talk to my best friend.  When I am at school, I always go to eat something with my friends, or I go somewhere at the end of study time.  In the evening, I go to ACE school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  When I go to ACE school, I usually arrive late because I have to wait for my sister.  Then I go to Kospich and sit there for a while.  After that I go back home.  When I am at home, I help my mother cook for dinner.  After that, I clean the dishes and take a shower, and then I go to sleep.

Hello.  In the morning I usually eat bread, cookies, and rice.  I usually wake up at 5:00 am every day, but when there is no school, I'll sleep until 7:00 or 8:00 am. I often come to school early because I always want to get to school very quickly every day.  I usually go to my grandmother's house for about 4 or 5 days a week.  I usually go to school at 6:45 am or 6:40 am, so I have to finish all my activities before going to school.  However, I hardly ever finished all my activities at my house when I was a kid.  Now, however, I am very eager to get to school on time every day.  At my school there are many things to see and watch.  Firstly, in my school, there are a lot of students, and buildings for the students to study in as well.  But the buildings are a bit too dirty, and messy.  Secondly, there are more than 200 teachers to teach the students.  Every teacher is very interesting.  And at my school there is a lovely garden, flowers, trees, a small market, and tidy bathrooms.  Thirdly, my school is so great that I want to study there forever.  But I can't.  At school I usually teach the lower students to do better than before.  I clean my classroom, and I do whatever I can to help the school environment or air pollution.  As a result, I have already finished all of my activities at school right now.  When I am with my friends, I usually helped them study and explained all the questions that they don't really know, cheer them on in their studies, invite them to the library, or go with them to eat outside or watch movies at the cinema too.  In the afternoon, I usually have rice with some vegetables and some meat.  In the evening, I sometimes go outside with my father to eat some special food that we haven't tasted in Phnom Penh, but most days we usually stay at home and watch TV.  In my house there is a nice garden, a clean kitchen, tidy bathrooms or bedrooms, and a beautiful living room.  Around my house there are some chores to be done.  There are also trees, and a beautiful garden, that looks like it is straight out of a painting.  It has colors in it that I could never have imagined.

Hello.  In the morning I usually wake up at 6:00 am.  I do exercise.  I usually drink milk and eat bacon with rice every day.  I go to Sisowath high school and also ACE school.  I usually go to Khmer school at 6:45 am, and 3:45 for English school.  My school is like paradise.  At school I write my assignments with my best friends.  I listen to my teacher when he/she is teaching me.  I ask someone questions who knows about the lesson.  When we have free time we listen to music in the classroom.  We read books in the library.  We busy some things in the market.  We hang out and go somewhere with my friends.
In the evening, when I come back home from school, I use Facebook or play video games for 15 minutes.  I take a shower, and have dinner with my happy family.  I watch TV.  I review some lessons before the exam.  I do my homework.  I write lessons.  I usually read books at night, and I usually read them every day.  I go to sleep at 9:00 pm.
As for my days off, I go to swim.  I cook food.  Sometimes I feed and walk the dog.  I wash the dishes: plates, spoons, forks, pots, pans, et cetera.  I usually clean the table, chair, car, et cetera.  I go to my grandmother's house.  I often practice songs, especially songs like Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and Korean pops.  I help my mom's shop.  I wash my father's car.
Finally, I hope I can get top marks for my studies.

Around the world, people don't clearly understand about life in other countries.  So now I'm going to tell you about life for the Cambodian people.  I study at ACE.  I always wake up at 6:00 am.  I always eat breakfast at school because my family is very busy.  My mom doesn't have time to cook breakfast for me.  I ride my bike to school.  My school starts at 9:45 am, and I get there at 9:15 am to read a book in my class.  I think my school is as popular as any other school in Cambodia.  More and more I always discuss with my friends about studying or jokes.  At 11:15 am, I leave school and go to study an extra class for about 3 hours.  Sometimes I don't have time to eat my lunch.  After that, I go to the gym in the evening to get my body slim, and for my health too.  At 8 pm, I go back home and have dinner with my family.  Before I go to bed, I always study about math or I do my homework.  When I finish my homework, I got to sleep.  I always go to sleep late at night, maybe 11:00 am.  Yeah!  It is my daily life, that I always do every day.

Student 73

I usually wake up at 6:30 in the morning, and I always eat my breakfast at home.  After I have prepared everything, I do extra studying for my math class.  But every  morning the weather is a bit cool, so it's easy for me to do some walking for exercise.  I go to school about 7:30 every day, and when it's 9:00 o'clock I go to study English at ACE.  My father drives me there on his motorcycle.  I stay in class and wait for the teacher to arrive.  We begin studying at 9:45, and the class finishes at 11:15.  When I arrive home, I start to eat my lunch, and I prepare everything, and then I wait for my school bus to arrive.  The class starts at 1:00 in the afternoon, so before class I review my lessons from the previous day.  That way it will be easier for me to understand.  I also eat some snacks during the second break time, and I enjoy talking with my friends.  When we have finished all the classes, we wait for the school bus to arrive.  After I get home, I always do my chores, and get ready for another class in the evening.  The evening class goes from 7:00--8:00 in the evening.  Then I go home  and eat my dinner, and I do all the homework that my teacher gave me.  When I'm done doing the homework, I study the lessons that I've learned that day, and I also read the lessons that I'm going to learn tomorrow.  When I'm done with all the studying, I go to bed.

Hi.  In the morning I get up at 6:30 to prepare myself to study Khmer.  My Khmer school is normal and in each room there is an air-conditioner, 15 tables, 30 chairs, and a window.  All the teachers there are friendly and helpful.  As for the students, during the break-time they mostly stay in class to ask questions or share their lessons with each other.  As for my family, we rarely have time to talk to each other because we are busy with studying, work, and doing business.  But on the weekends or holidays we always have a small party or meet to share news or joke with each other.  We are so happy when we meet up as a family because mostly we always work or study, and only sometimes can we hang out as a family and relax.  On Monday-Wednesday-and Friday from 4:00-5:30 pm I go to study at ACE.  ACE is not a large or a small school, but it is a normal school.  As for my teachers, they are friendly, helpful, and out-going.  They explain the lessons really well, and they have a schedule for us to study.  For my friends, they are friendly.  They always help each other.  Sometimes they joke in class in order to have fun when we are bored.  In my class we have chairs with tables, a desk, a computer, an air-conditioner, and a white board.  When I finish class, I go to eat something with my friends and then we go home.  When I arrive home, I always eat dinner, do homework, and then I play games or use Facebook.  After that I go to sleep.  When I have free time, I always hang out with my friends, go swimming with my family and friends, or go to watch movies and go shopping.

My typical day begins from waking up.  I don't like to wake up every morning at 6:40, but I must do it.  After that, I have a shower, put on my school uniform, and go to the kitchen.  In the kitchen I always eat Nesquik.  After breakfast I clean my teeth, take my school bag, and go outside to the taxi.  The taxi brings me to my Russian school in the embassy.  And I go to the classroom.  Every day we have about six lessons (one lesson in my school is about 40 minutes).  During the breaks I and my friends play Marvel's "Avengers".  I like to play this game.  My character is Loki.  He is the son of the King of Jotunhame--Laufey--and an Asgardian woman.  Now Loki is the King of Asgard.
After the lessons on Monday and Wednesday I go to AEON Mall and eat or do my homework.  After that I go back to school for Math class (because I'm very bad at Math) or to the music class (because I sing in my school).  But at 15:40 I go to ACE by taxi.
After ACE I go back home and do all my homework, because when I'm at AEON Mall I only do math and Russian.  After my homework I always watch films.
But on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday after school I go home.  On Tuesday and Thursday, I do my homework and watch films, but on Friday I do only ACE homework.  Then I go to ACE and after that I return home and watch films.
From Monday to Thursday and on Sunday I go to bed at 22:00, but on Friday and Saturday I don't, because I don't have lessons on Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday evening I watch films, but after the films I listen to a lot of rock music.
The only difference between Russia and Cambodia is that in Russia there is winter.

A typical day in my life: In the morning, I wake up at 6 o'clock.  I have a shower.  I get dressed in my school uniform, and go down stairs to have a glass of milk.  When I go to school, the first thing I do is buy some breakfast.  Sometimes for breakfast I eat the things that the school sells, and sometimes I go to Brown Coffee Shop, because Brown is at AEON Mall, and my school is near AEON Mall, so I can go to buy something at Brown Coffee Shop if I have time.  At school I like talking to my friends, or studying.  Actually there are only a few lessons which I don't like.  At school I meet my friends and we go to the canteen to buy something.  Because I study from 7:30 to 3:30, I go back home in the evening to have dinner and study Chinese at home.  After I study Chinese I go to my room to do my homework for the next day and prepare the books for school the next day.  Some days, if I don't have a lot of homework, I use that time to go online and use Facebook so I can know about some news or chat with my friends or my cousin and listen to my favorite music.  Actually, I'm not that busy of a girl, so I usually sleep at 11:45 or 12:00.  Oh I forgot to tell you: my school is Zaman International School.

Hello!  Every morning I always get up at 5:00 am and then take a shower, brush my teeth, and after that I put on my clothes, and then I eat breakfast.  After that I go to school.  In the afternoon, I leave school and go back to my house.  When I arrive at home, I always help my mother with her housework.  After that I go take a bath again, and then I go to lunch with my family. After I eat, I always wash the dishes.  After that, I go to school and study Khmer.  When I arrive at school I start to study and talk with my friend about the lesson that the teacher gives us.  When we have done it, it is time to take a break.  So during break time I play soccer with my friends.  When it's time to study again, some students in my class don't listen to the teacher's explanation.  They usually talk about other things.  So when they are talking about other things during the teacher's explanations, I always tell them to please listen to the teacher, and say, "You shouldn't talk when the teacher is explaining something," and then they tell me "Don't worry about us, just worry about yourself first before you worry about us."  After that, I don't have anything else to say to them. 
In the evening, I leave school and go back to my house.  I change clothes because in the evening I go to play football with my friends at the park.  When we finish playing, I go to my extra class, and then I go to football again at 6:30 pm.  When I finish playing, I go drink something like Samurai Energy Drink, green tea, or I eat ice-cream.  After that I go to my house and then take a shower, eat dinner, and watch TV.  When I finish watching TV I do my homework and do some exercises that my teacher gave me to do.  After that I go to sleep.

People always have their typical days.  But some people do different things from other people.  And I also have my typical day.  In the morning, I usually wake up at six o'clock in the morning.  Then I make my bed, and go to the bathroom to take a shower, and do some stuff.  After that I eat breakfast with my parents, but sometimes I eat alone.  When I finish my breakfast, I got to school, every day except Sunday or holidays.  I usually go to school at 7 o'clock in the morning.  And I finish my school at 11 o'clock.  When I arrive back home, I change out of my school uniform and into my normal clothes.  After that I eat lunch and take a rest.  And then, I enjoy playing games with my best friends from two o'clock until three o'clock.  And then I get my bag ready for English school, and take a shower, and change my clothes, and go to school at three o'clock, and I arrive back home at six o'clock.  After I arrive back home, I enjoy my dinner at home and sometimes my parents and I go out to eat.  And after dinner, I take a shower and then I start studying at home.  I study for one or two hours, and then I go to sleep.  This is my schedule for school days.  But my schedule for holidays is a bit different.  On the holiday morning, I usually wake up at 7 or 8 o'clock.  And I enjoy playing games with my best friend until lunch time.  At lunch time I stop playing the game to eat lunch, and then I start playing games again after lunch, and keep playing until the evening.  In the evening I go for a walk outside with my dad, and sometimes with my cousin.  At night I usually eat dinner in a restaurant with my cousin and my parents.  But I night I always sleep late because I need to prepare my school stuff for the school day.  This is the typical day in my life.

Hello!  In the morning I eat breakfast but sometimes we have no breakfast so my mom gives me some money to buy something to eat at school.  I have a lot of friends at my Khmer school and at my English school.  They love to play games.  At the weekend we go to play football or stay at home and play online games together.  In Cambodia there are a lot of traffic jams and the school starts at 7:00, so sometimes we're late.  At school I always talk with my friends, play games, listen to a story, or do something else.  At 11:00 the school ends and we go back home by school bus.  In the bus we always laugh, make jokes, or sometimes we tell the driver to stop to buy something to eat.  In the afternoon I go to ACE.  The school starts at 4:00, so I come at 3:00 or 3:30.  So I have a lot of time to eat, for example burgers or any food.  But in ACE the school has no school bus.  We we go back home I always play football with my neighborhood and do exercises with them.  Sometimes we ride a bike too.  At night I have to do my homework, but I always use Facebook or something on my phone after I finish my homework.  When I finish my homework at night, I usually eat some food and my mom tells me not to eat a lot, and she says, "Don't you know you're so fat."  I always wash dishes or wash my dad's car or something.  It is easy for me because I always do this.  All of these things I always do every day.

Cambodia is a very good country.  I wake up and I have a shower and then I have breakfast.  After breakfast I go to school.  The school is a big school, but the classes are in small rooms.  But we can study and the teacher is good, and I have a good friend.  After class we play together all the time.  In Cambodia sometimes the traffic is terrible, and sometimes it is good.  There is a supermarket funland shop, and it is a big place.  And we have a temple and many cool places too.  All the food is very good and healthy.  And in Cambodia we sell cool stuff, like ancient stuff and other cool things.  The countryside in Cambodia is very beautiful and there is a lot of seafood, which is also very good.  And then there are all the restaurants in Cambodia.  The restaurants are very clean and have good healthy in Cambodia.  The people who work at the restaurant are very kind and they forgive you if you do anything wrong.  But there are also a lot of bad people in Cambodia.  I hate the bad people.  In Cambodia the road is very well light at night.  There are airplanes in Cambodia.  The airplanes in Cambodia are small, but I've never heard of one crashing.  And finally, Cambodia has the best singers and comedians.  I want to thank my mom and dad for teaching me about Cambodia.  I really love Cambodia.  It is the best country I know, and it is very beautiful.  I want my country to be a safe one.

Hello.  In the morning I usually eat breakfast, rice and pork.  After that I take about 30 minutes to take a shower, brush my teeth, and also I go to ACE.  I never come late, and I never skip school because I need to study hard for my family and for myself too.  In the day time, I usually sleep a lot to be healthy like all my friends.  Later I go to learn Khmer in my Khmer school.  There I have so many friends, and my best friend in the whole world is there.  My friend usually likes playing games.  But as for me, I don't even care about games.  I study there for 5 hours, much longer than I study English.  I always get good grades, so my family is always happy about me, because I am good at a lot of things, have good manners, and communicate well.  Good manners are very important to me, and also communicating is the most important thing that I know, because I need to have good communication skills to be with other people.  In my free time I go to restaurants and eat something cheap, because I don't want my mom to pay a lot of money.  After that we go back to our home.  I don't really enjoy spending too much time at home, so I ask my mom if I can hang out with my friends.  In the future I want to be a doctor like my father.  He is a good doctor.  I wish I could be as good as him.  I want to help old people and poor people.  My life is very important to my family and for myself.  I love my family.

I want to talk about my daily life in Cambodia.  Every morning I wake up at 6 o’clock.  It’s not only me that wakes up at this time, but all the people in the country too, because we need to go to work or school.  Every morning there is always a traffic jam because a lot of people are driving to work or school.  In Cambodia, people use two languages, which are English and Khmer.  So every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I go to study English at ACE.  I love that school very much.  I know English because of ACE school.  I usually go and buy some drinks with my friends.  I love them.  I love their kindness and they’re so friendly to me.  When I go back home, I need to help my mom do some housework.  At 1 o’clock in the afternoon, I need to go to study Khmer.  I go back home at 5 o’clock in the evening, but sometimes the Khmer teacher does not come to teach us, so then I go back home at 4 or 4:30 in the evenings.  I take a shower and eat dinner with my family.  Cambodia people usually go to bed at 9 or 10 o’clock, but for me it’s different.  I go to bed at 11 or 12 o’clock, because I spend my time studying and doing homework.

            I love my life in Cambodia, because Cambodia people are kind and friendly.  Our country is not too big, but in Cambodia there are a lot of beautiful places.  In the future, I want to travel around the world, because I want to know what is different between my country and other countries.  Thank you for spending your time to read my writing about Cambodia.

            In another country, maybe school starts at 8:00 AM.  But in Cambodia, school starts at 7:00 AM so that I need to wake up at 6:00 or 5:30 AM when I study at Khmer school.  But if I study English, then I will wake up at 7:00 AM because ACE starts at 9:45 AM.  I often eat breakfast before I go to school.  I usually eat noodles for breakfast.  I study for 8 hours a day, so I don’t have time to go home in the afternoon.  I eat lunch at my Khmer school.  I have a group of friends who stay at school so we take food, soup, pig meat, cow meat, chicken meat, or some of the Khmer food.  We always share the food or rice.  And we have 1 hour to read books, or play something.  Next, from 12:00 to 5:00 PM we study, but we have 4 breaks during this time.  Before starting the class, we have to clean the classroom.  I study 6 days a week.  After class I always go home at 5:00 PM.  When I go home, the three things I always do are play games, watch TV, and play sports.  At 7:00 PM, my family has dinner.  Sometimes we order pizza from outsides, or sometimes we go to a restaurant to have dinner.  From 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM I do homework or study.  Of course I go to sleep late because I like to watch movies at night.  Sometimes I go to bed at 10:30, 11:30, or 12:00. This is my life in Cambodia.
