Ako ay si Malik at ako ay tatlumpu’t siyam na taong gulang. Pinanganak ako sa Afghanistan. Iba ang aking relihiyon sa pangunahing relihiyon ng Afghanistan.
My name is Malik and I am 39 years old. I was born in Afghanistan. My religion is different from the main religion in Afghanistan.
Je m’appelle Malik et j’ai 39 ans. Je suis né en Afghanistan. Ma religion est différente de la religion principale en Afghanistan.
Sa loob ng maraming taon, ang mga taong kabilang sa aking relihiyon ay inuusig. Napakahirap nito para sa aking pamilya.
For many years, people who belong to my religion have been persecuted. This has been very difficult for my family.
Pendant des années, les personnes appartenant à ma religion ont été persécutées. Cela a été très difficile pour ma famille.
Ilang taon na ang nakalipas, mayroong digmaan. Natatakot ako na maaaring ako ‘y mamatay. Iniwan ko ang aking pamilya upang pumunta sa Europa at magsimula ng bagong buhay.
A few years ago there was a war. I was afraid I would be killed. I left my family to go to Europe and start a new life.
Il y a eu une guerre il y a quelques années. J’avais peur de me faire tuer. J’ai quitté ma famille pour aller en Europe et commencer une nouvelle vie.
Naglakad ako ng maraming kilometro. Minsan wala akong makain at wala matutuluyan. May ilan sa mga kasama kong naglalakbay ang namatay.
I walked for many kilometres. Sometimes I had no food and nowhere to stay. Some of the people I travelled with died.
J’ai marché beaucoup de kilomètres. Parfois, je n’avais pas de nourriture et nulle part où aller. Certaines personnes avec qui j’ai voyagé sont mortes.
Sa wakas nakarating din ako. May nakilala akong mga kababayan ko na tumulong sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko kung wala sila.
Finally I arrived. I met some people from my own country who helped me. I do not know what I would have done without them.
Enfin, je suis arrivé. J’ai rencontré des personnes de mon propre pays qui m’ont aidé. Je ne sais pas ce que j’aurais fait sans eux.
Nagsimula akong mag-aral ng wika, ngunit ito ‘y mahirap. Alam ko na mahalaga ang pagsasalita ng wika para magkaroon ng trabaho.
I started to learn the language, but it was hard. I knew that speaking the language was important to get a job.
J’ai commencé à apprendre la langue, mais c’était difficile. Je savais que parler la langue était important pour avoir un travail.
Nag-aral ako ng ilang taon, una upang matuto ng wika. Mahirap ito, ngunit nag-enjoy akong sa pag-aaral ng mga bagong bagay.
I studied for several years, at first to learn the language. It was hard, but I enjoy learning new things.
J’ai étudié pendant plusieurs années, au départ pour apprendre la langue. C’était difficile, mais j’aime apprendre de nouvelles choses.
Matapos mag-aral, nagsimula akong magtrabaho. Una, nagtrabaho ako sa isang restawran, at pagkatapos ay naging guro dahil gusto kong tumulong sa iba.
After studying I started working. First I worked in a restaurant, and then I became a teacher because I want to help others.
Après avoir étudié, j’ai commencé à travailler. Au départ j’ai travaillé dans un restaurant, puis je suis devenu un professeur parce que je veux aider les autres.
Balang araw sana makabalik ako sa Afghanistan. Maraming tao roon ang nangangailangan ng tulong at gusto ko silang tulungan.
I hope to go back to Afghanistan one day. Many people there need help, and I want to help them.
J’espère revenir en Afghanistan un jour. Beaucoup de personnes là-bas ont besoin d’aide, et je veux les aider.
