Hi!! My name is Tiger. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand. I would like to talk a little about myself as an introduction to the Quad blog. I am Thai and have been studying in RIS for 8 years (quite a long time). RIS is one of the top best International School in Thailand. It is also very expensive. In Thailand, just a few weeks ago, there was a flood crisis. Our school had to close for 40 days. Right now, we have an extended schedule and we also have to learn on Saturdays.
I have 4 family members: Dad, Mom, me, and my sister. My sister is two years younger than I am. She is in grade 6 (year 7). I just turned 13 years old on October. My father is a business man. He owns a company which sells hydroponic vegetable. He is often very busy. My mother owns an apartment. I am in grade 8 (year 9) in Ms. Torie's Class. My favorite sport is volleyball and I like the football (soccer) team Manchester United. I also play the instrument Saxophone.
In Ms. Torie's class, we learn the subject Language Arts and Social Studies. Our theme for the term is "Identity" (We have 2 terms in one year). Right now, in Social Studies we are learning about the history of Europe, in the period of the Tudors and Stuarts. In Language Arts class, we are studying new vocabulary.
In Thailand, a very special event is coming up. That day is the "Father's Day" or Thailand's King Birthday. In Thailand, the king is very special because he is a very special person who helps the country in many ways.
