答案 ★Hometown
— I grew up in a village in Thailand, just outside the capital, Bangkok.
— No, I don’t. I live here in Bangkok now, but my parents still live there and so does one of my sisters. The other sister works in Singapore as a flight attendant for Singapore Airlines.
— It’s fairly quiet, but it is very near the main road heading north out of Bangkok, so there is some noise from the traffic. Otherwise, it’s a fairly typical Thai village with small houses for the people to live in and only basic services.
— No, not much. Now, we have water and electricity from the mains, but village life hasn’t changed much. People still do the same jobs and live in the same homes. I suppose the water and electricity have made life more comfortable though.
— The peace and quiet. I hope that it stays that way, but I heard that the government wants to build another road nearby, so I might not get my wish. A new road will certainly bring more and better jobs to the village, so it won’t be all bad.
★Daily routine
— On workdays, I get up at 6 o’clock. I have to be at work at 8:30, but I like to go to the gym in my office building before work to exercise. I find that a little exercise wakes me up! I go to bed at about 11 o’clock, depending on what I do that particular evening.
— My Saturday routine is the same as my weekday routine, because I have to work six days a week, though I do get a few extra days off during the week as compensation. On Sundays, I don’t have a routine. I just do what I feel like or do what housework needs to be done. During the week, I wake up, shower, eat breakfast and go to exercise. I have lunch with colleagues. After work, I might go out for a meal with colleagues or friends or I might go shopping--shops are often open quite late in Bangkok. If I’m tired, I just go home and relax.
— Nothing. I’m very happy with it. Of course, it would be nice to work fewer hours, but that’s not going to happen.
— I like the evenings, because I can relax after work or go out with friends and have some fun. I think most people are happy when their workday is over and they can do what they like to do. I also like exercising in the morning very much.
★Time at secondary school
— I liked geography most of all. I’ve always been interested in the world, how landscapes were formed and how people use the world. I had two or three geography lessons each week when I was at secondary school. One of my biggest regrets is that I don’t use geography in my work at all, but I do find it useful when I meet foreigners, because I can usually say something about their country. As a result, they think I’m more intelligent than I really am!
— Nowadays, I think most students have to study about 12. I’m not absolutely sure. When I went to school, we studied far fewer subjects, partly because there were not so many teachers available and partly because we didn’t have the facilities for some subjects, such as computing and science. The most important subjects were Thai, math and English, because if you have good exam results in those subjects it’s pretty easy to get a decent job in Bangkok.
— I don’t know the exact number or percentage, but it is probably around a quarter of all students. The proportion is higher in the cities than in the countryside. I think that this is lower than in developed countries, but it might be higher than in other developing ones.
— Yes. I think this is true everywhere. I see all kids wear uniforms in Bangkok and the kids in my village do too. I think it’s a good idea, because it makes the students look equal.
