Dear teacher!
Could you tell me the way to keep a diary in English? I always have problems in using the tenses. For example in Vietnamese: " Hom nay minh tinh co gap lai anh ay tren duong di cong tac". In English I write " Today I happened upon him when I was going out for business"
"TODAY" go with "SIMPLE PAST" is OK???
Please explain it to me. Thanks a lot.

We use "past tenses" to write our diary.

hì. Many people said that writing English diary can help people to improve English and try to express their ideas by English.Therefor we should make a English diary. Is it right? :)

Sorry everybody.

I have just come back to HCMC from my hometown, so i could not answer or post new entries.

I think writing diary is one of the good ways to improve your Eng. However, there are some unrevealed secret in our lives. However, you can let others read yours if is useful and necessary for others. There are a lot of diaries published. Therefore, i can correct yours about daily life, but you should send e-mals to me, and remember to send what you can share with others.

Be Con Tinh Nghich said...

haha. hehe.hihi...
Yeah, you are always a careful man,Sir! And...maybe you can post hot entry about ur trip. And... have u got spcial food(dac san?)for me? hhihi

@S.one:According to our teacher's comment, why did not u create a daily English blog to send to him. I think it is easier than send e mail to him everyday...
Is it right,teacher?

Hello teacher! I can speak English fluently but my writing skill is not good.Because I often make a little mistakes. However, It is not serious I am not confident about my English.Would you give me some experiences to improve my writing skill better?
I think that I am a patient person and I determine to master English. So , you don't hesitate to show many ways. I know that " No pain no gain "

nguyenhonganhtesol said...

You do not tell me what kinds of writing you need because every type has its own way to write: a report, a formal or informal letter, a paragraph or an essay ....

Be Con Tinh Nghich said...

Help me, Sir!!! I need write a romantic love letter,but I do not know how to make it. hihi...

dear teacher!
when do we use "road and street"?
"oversupply and over-supply" the meaning of these words are the same?
