Khmer Literacy Round 2

Reading Kolab Pailin was one of the activities that we did in Khmer class. Kolab Pailin is one of the most famous Cambodia novels. This famous novel talks about how Chet who is an orphan tried to push himself up through all the challenges for his success life. As we were reading this book to the whole class, I have been a narrator. It was my first experience being a narrator for both in Khmer and English. Our facilitator encourages us to read it with a certain voice base on each scene in the story. It was a fun time reading Kolab Pailin. However, there are some challenges that can be a great experience such as we went along some of us started to laugh and confusing the script too. We also did some research about Khmer water festival, which is one of our holidays since it was close to celebrating date. The history of this celebration is, there was a war between Cambodia and other countries and Cambodia were successful by the support from Cambodia water army. That is the main reason of celebrating water festival by having boat racing every year.

This is Kolab Pailin that we’ve read in Class.
