Love To Learn More

Even though, there was no more English class and everyone stopped learning but I still wanted to study. I still reviewed my English lesson and tried to learn it by myself and asked my uncle whichever I did not know it.

In addition, I analyzed my weakness and looked for the way to solve it. One of my weaknesses was I did not remember all four types of alphabet. That’s why I could not read whenever I saw the big capital letter or other types of letter. Therefore, I went to talk with my father and asked him to write it for me.

Basically, my father could speak French and English a little bit. He encouraged me on that therefore he did not hesitate to write it for me. He agreed and wrote all four types of alphabet on a paper with Lao spelling or Lao translation in order to be easy for reading it.

I fold that paper and put it in my pocket. I brought it with me all the time. Whenever I had time, I would take it out and learned it. At that time, my first goal was just I was able to read all four types of alphabet. That’s enough for me and I would be very happy. Therefore, every time I walked past things like a box , a sign which there were English word on it. I would stop and tried to read it.

One day I went to take a bath in the Mekhong river. I saw a merchandise boat stopped at the village Harbor. There were lots of goods on the boat. Workers were carrying down from the boat and put on the ground. I glanced at them and saw a tank with English word. It was attractive to me.

I stopped in front of that big tank and read each letter slowly and slowly letter by letter to test myself. G-A-S-S…. I didn’t even care about its word or sentence or meaning. Unfortunately, the rest of other words or letters were hided on the ground. I could not read it. So then I pushed that tank up.

Immediately, there was a laborer seeing that. He taught that I would steal things. He came to me and shout at me loudly.. thief…thief… there were lots of people around there looking at me. I said No and tried to explain to him what I was doing but it seemed he did not believe me.

Fortunately, my friend passed by there and saw the event. They assisted me to communicate with that guy till he accepted. After that I went to take a bath with my friends and back to the temple.
