Electric Power System















Electric Power System
  + It is shocking to imagine that the world has no electricity nowadays because it influence the daily life so much such lighting, travelling, supplying factory and so on as a basic. In addition, I am a person who enthusiast and wonder how to produce an electricity since I was young, after I tool a course in high school about electromagnetic especially in part of producing electricity by rotation  flux magnetic. As a result, I have little concept of electricity that way it urges me to explore my life in Electric Power System.


Power Electronics
 + In order to decide which major I desire in the future, I clearly think that I have to possess a talent and have met its equipments whether I am enthusiastic or not. In fact, I first have experienced using voltmeter which inverts direct current (DC) into alternative current (AC) and I am really interesting, but I do know what it is. Fortunately, in high school, I have understood much concept of it. Not only convert for DC to AC but it also changes from AC to DC. In addition, it contributes to reduce waste energy and improve economic of each country. Consequently, I want to become an expert of this field.    

 Electric / Electronic Device
  + The motive that I select this field is to make the world especially Cambodia full of electronic devices. I am also the person who loves to use it for my study. It is really essential for everyone especially the students. For example the computers, the telephones, the electrical dictionaries, and all electrical equipments, all of these things, I always got benefit from these many and many. If I can study in this field so I am please with myself to produce many electric and electronic devices for people in reasonable price and truthful quality.     


12What kind of field are you planning to study in Japan?
    My desired field that I hope to study in Japan is Electric Power System because Japan is one of the countries which advance at providing high quality and safety of electricity. Japan became the third largest nuclear power user in the world over 55 nuclear reactors. I strongly believe that I can receive high technology at producing electricity, observe the excellent process at the manufacturer to improve electricity field in my county, Cambodia. Furthermore, I want to modernize the process supplying electricity in order to save energy, keep safe to the environment especially investigate new method instead of using fossil fuel. 

13. What kind of impression do you have of Japan?
I am really fascinated by Japanese people because they are hard-working, friendly, optimistic and punctual on their works. Although Japan is an island country surrounded by ocean and suffers seriously with natural disaster such as earthquake, it still develops it economic strongly to become the third rank in the world. This is due to the characteristic Japanese people. In addition, they have strong commitment to preserve their culture like traditional clothes (kimono), traditional house marked from wood and thin paper. Final but not least, I am exciting of a unique tone of Japanese, a national holiday, Children’s day.



14Description of desired employment to be taken up after returning home.

 After graduating from Japan I must come back to my beloved country, Cambodia. I first plan to work as a technician in public institution, Electricity of Cambodia, so I can devote myself to develop electricity in my country to become a high standard through what I gain knowledge in Japan. The biggest desired plan which I want to achieve in my life is to modernize my hometown to have enough electricity for supplying their life to be better after I have an adequate experience and network.

Topic: Learning about other countries’ customs has no value for us as a Cambodian.Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


In our conclusion, we disagree the idea that learning othercountries’ custom has no value for us as a Cambodian. It’s worth learning about customs because it could broader our knowledge and especially let us see the world with different vision.
Culture is the way of life of a particular group of people at a particular region. As part of cultures, there are beliefs, traditions, and especially customs. Custom refers to a way of behaving or a belief which has been established for a long time. Each custom is different from another. If we compare to one custom to others, we can’t say that one is inferior to the others because each custom of a county has its own value. Indeed, we, as a Cambodian, think it’s worth learning other countries’ custom for few reasons.
            First of all,its advantage is related to ASEAN economic community in the upcoming 2015. Its economy will be integrated so that itmeans all the 10 countries would share the whole economic growth together. Each citizen of ASEAN countries could go to work in either one among these counties. However, when other countries in SoutheastAsia have different custom from their own, there are some skills or knowledge they have to be aware of before all of these employees could work in a new environment. For example, they could learn English language before working abroad because it is used in all the countries.
Secondly, being aware of other customs would improve the process ofinvestmentagreement.Sincemost of the countries development around the world relies on economic nowadays, investment has taken an important role in the economic growth. Before investors makes decision to invest a particular country, they studies about the background, companies, law, etc. include custom in that country. After they made decision, they will put their capital and talk on agreement, but a little unawareness of greeting would be matter to the success. After all, we have to know our partners well in order to succeed in investment agreement.
Last of all, its value is avoiding culture shock. As we already mentioned above, custom is a part of culture of a particular group of people. Culture shock is the state that people approach into a new area and they find out that the way people act over there is offensive or unacceptable. Talking about two people from two different counties, they actually have two different customs. When one of them enter a new environment, they will feel shock because of the way people over there treat or behave is so different that he or she can adopt with in a very short period.

Traffic jam in Cambodia

Traffic in our country makes me crazy. I spent one hour drive to work every day. Our road not very big and not very small, but sometime it makes me stuck many hours. The problem is not all about the road, but it is also about the driver. There are many reasons that make traffic jam in our country. Firstly, the increasing number of people and transportation; nowadays the number of people living in the city has dramatically increased very quickly because some people come to do business and some others come to continue their educational study.  According to the statistic published on the website of Phnom Penh City Hall shows that, numbers of people in Phnom Penh are 1,501,725(Tuesday, 28-Jan-2014). This huge number of people generate overload vehicle on the streets. Imagine if one people have one vehicle; the traffic will be terrible, right? Secondly is disobeying of the traffic Laws and circular of city hall; breaking the traffic laws and the circular of city hall cause traffic accident and traffic jams. Some people do not know much about how to obey the traffic laws while traffic policemen are also not committed to appropriate implement the existing traffic laws. Some people do not obey the traffic light or traffic sign. Some car’s owner parking their car on street side along the road; these are the main causes of traffic jams. ​Moreover, some restaurants that are running businesses along the roads do not have parking lot for their guests so that their guests’ vehicles to park on the road sides; leading to become narrow roads and traffic jams. Truly, Traffic jams are the major concern for people because it heavily affects to people’s life in the city. Therefore, we together should obey the traffic laws and respect each other while traveling on the street in order to reduce traffic jams in our city. Last but not least is repairing and constructing the drainage system, road and bridge; many roads in Phnom Penh are narrow. Some of them are under repairing such the drainage system. Not only is that, bridges also under construction. The continuous processes of road and bridges repairing and constructing are the causes of traffic jams. Our country is the developing country so there are many roads, bridges to be built. Furthermore, majority of roads in the city are not divided or separated from each other; for instance, walking side, motor side and car side. In conclusion as a Cambodian people we should help our country. Some of this problem can be solved by us.  One person makes a big change. Love our country, Help our country!

The basic need of every child is to be able to attend school in a safe environment


The rural schools Cambodia in the middle of open fields with dirt roads, no electricity or toilets are not an ideal learning environment. There is no other equipment but blackboard and chalk in the classrooms. Often there are not enough desks and benches for children to sit. The education is free and universal, yet each child has to have a uniform and school supplies to be able to attend. One realizes that education is a prized possession when one sees most children walking 3 km (about 2 miles) in each direction on an empty stomach. The children are tiny in stature and often look three years younger than they are. The school classrooms are crowded with three children to a desk and 60 children to a class.
Being in the crowded classroom in the midst of the heat, one feels truly stifled. Yet the attention of the students and their thirst for knowledge is astounding.
The children attend either a morning or afternoon sessions with the same teacher doing a double shift for the meager pay of less than $50 a month.
Cambodian Child's Dream is currently working in 4 village schools supplying school books and stationary as well as sponsoring 250 poor children. We provide Full Time English Teachers and supplement the income of the government Khmer Teachers. We have built libraries, kitchens, toilets blocks, playgrounds, sports fields, vegetable gardens, water wells, and Tippy Taps. We regularly bring in volunteers to teach English and provide new ideas and teacher training. We organize mobile school Dental clinics and volunteer Nursing Missions.
It costs $25 for a "starter kit" to provide a child with a school uniform, shoes, books, stationery, and toothbrush and toothpaste. An additional $10 per month will help provide breakfast for the child. Cost to educate a child for a year is $135.
