Kent talks with a young poet.(in Lao)
I wrote a poem for a poetry contest. Lao translation
UPBEAT MUSIC
Kent: This is Kent Moss, the New Dynamic English Man on the Street.
I’m standing outside the Natural History Museum.
With me is Ella Schoeffer-Wolf, who is nine years old.
Ella, tell us why you’re here.
Ella: Well... I wrote a poem for a poetry contest.
The contest was called “River of Words.”
And I won a trip to Washington, D.C.
Kent: And what was your poem about?
Ella: Fish.
Kent: Fish.
Now, why did you write about fish?
Ella: Well... we had to write about something in nature, you know, like the ocean, or rain, or animals.
So I chose fish, because I want people to love fish.
Kent: You want people to love fish?
Ella: Yes, because people pollute the water that fish live in, and then the fish die.
I think if people love fish, then maybe they won’t pollute the oceans and rivers.
Kent: I hope you’re right, Ella.
Well, it’s been very nice talking with you.
Good luck in the future!
Ella: Thank you.
