  • Can I help you?
  • Are you looking for something?
  • Would you like some help?

    Hi there,

    To speak English well requires much practice. You should try to speak as much as possible.

    And also, next time, you should greet the person who you want to talk to before asking (eg. Dear Sir, dear teacher or dear friend, etc.) that will be better.

    Have a big success, baby!

    - To get ideas for writing, you should read more.
    - To master English grammar, you have to practice using it in your writing everyday: You should practice writing simple sentences, then compound senteces, complex sentences, a paragraph, then essays about every thing in your real life.
    - You can visit The Foreign Trade Language Center to lerarn Business English, and Tourism Training Centers to learn tourism English

    dear teacher,
    i just want to ask: when you say that "some people often say that the world has turned its back on them, it's 'cause they turned their back upon the world". can I understand it: "when they turn their back upon the world they don't know if the world turn its back on them or not, so they have no right to conclude it"??????????
    thanks for your answer(if it has)

    Dear teacher
    It's been a long time I didn't see you. I was too busy with my studying. Now I finished my entrance examination to the university and I passed. Now I am a student of USSH.
    I'm having a relaxing summer with a trip to my hometown and Ha Noi, it was really enjoyable.
    I recognize my English has become worse since I didn't spend time practicing. So I decide to come back to our class, may be in a few weeks. I hope everything will be OK.
    See you soon my teacher.
    Giang

    Hi teacher, long time no see. I'm Ngoc Han, do u remember this name? ;) I don't know your email address, just see this blog from google. Now I study in Australia, a beautiful day like today, I read your speaking book unit "Pessimism or Optimism", I remember the exciting atmosphere in class, and I miss you so much, my optimistic teacher. When you have something interesting, share with me at ngochan0702@yahoo.com or www.facebook.com/mcngochan
