Good morning mr Hong Anh! I have a question: How to say "Vậy nha"/"Như vậy đi ha" in English, please? (Sorry I don't know where to put my question, so I leave it here):) Thank you.
Dear myteacher,
a nice day !
Pls help me correct the following sentence. ( i am not sure if the position of the word "APPEARED" in the sentence is correct or not )
" so that Pho Vuong has not a long time APPEARED but its name becomes more friendly with many Hanoian"
pls show me if APPEARED should be placed after HAS NOT OR after A LONG TIME.
Thank you, teacher !

Dear Mr. Hong Anh,
In Vietnamese there are "từ đơn","từ ghép","từ láy","từ phái sinh"
So, how to translate them into English? từ đơn: single word, từ ghép: compound word,are they right? How about từ láy, từ phái sinh?
Could you give some examples of "từ láy" in English?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.
- repeatead word
- lam gi co tu phat sinh. Do la "New word", hay "potential word"
Dear teacher,
far and much can be used in the comparative form. But I don't know when we should use "much" and when we should use "far". Would you help me?

"Spelling teacher quietly go about early lunch.
Each drop of sweat fall blur on paper.
For children up to the shores of dream,
Then in May river monsoon
Branches still sparkling white flowers in the old garden.
Teacher is quietly going on under the rain.
Life on the line every peaceful drift forever.
Afternoon on the street how to welcome,
River winds away now rain,
Who still remember, who forgot the old boat ...
Despite years inadvertently drift forever,
Have or how the leaves fall season.
Teacher was like as thousands of sun rays,
Cent step child in life.
Still remember when the rain falls,
Still the old dress sometimes as husband,
Teacher is away, quietly sad happy.
Despite years inadvertently drift forever,
Green hair is now fading.
Teacher still standing in the school yard he,
Watch as they step in life.
Even if I count all sky tonight,
Even if counting all the leaves fall down,
But thousands of years,
How do you count all the teacher thanks .."
THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME IN THE UNFORGETABLE PERIOD OF MY LIFE.
ALTHOUGHT IT WAS JUST A SHORT TIME, IT GAVE ME LOTS OF BENIFITS, BOTH IN MY STUDYING ENGLISH AND MY LIFE!!!
ONCE AGAIN, THANKS SO MUCH, MY TEACHER
MY RESPECT

Con chào Thầy;
Thầy ơi, thầy khỏe không Thầy? Coi xem hình chụp hình Thầy cùng với các anh chi và các bạn làm con thấy "jealous" quá. Con cũng ước gì mình được tham gia cùng cả nhà.
Nhân ngày nhà giáo Việt Nam, con mong Thầy và gia đình dồi dào sức khỏe, hạnh phúc và con kính chúc Thầy luôn thành công trên con đường sự nghiệp trồng người của mình.
Con,
