Bác nào đi học rồi, cho em hỏi ý kiến, nhận xét 1 chút. Em cũng đang làm trong ngành Business & Finance, cần tiếng Anh gấp gấp.
Thanks cả nhà!!

@ Bạn có thể mail sang hòm mail của mình, mình sẽ gửi bản mẫu cho bạn tham khảo. Nếu sau khi đọc bản chương trình và gặp gỡ trao đổi trước khi học thử, bạn cảm thấy hợp với chương trình và phong cách làm việc của mình thì kết quả chắc chắn không làm bạn thất vọng. Mỗi ng học có 1 nền tảng và nhu cầu khác nhau, nên chương trình mình liên tục chỉnh sửa theo mỗi loại đối tượng nữa.
Thế nên mình cũng không khuyến khích học trò cũ vào comment tại đây. Nếu bạn muốn biết bạn có hợp với lớp của mình không bạn cứ liên hệ trực tiếp là được thôi mà ^^

The Purdue Online Writing Lab provides more than 200 free resources for writing and research. 11 February 2010

Many colleges and universities in the United States have writing centers to help students improve their skills. Some materials are available free at Web sites like the Purdue Online Writing Lab, or OWL. The site is connected to the Writing Lab at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
Writing Lab at Purdue
Writing Lab at Purdue
It includes resources that can help non-native English speakers. VOA''s Art Chimes recently spoke with the director, Linda Bergmann.
LINDA BERGMANN: "The Purdue Online Writing Lab is a sizeable collection of workshops, worksheets, instructional materials in both English language and in various genres in which students and people working in the world are expected to write."
For instance, even native speakers are often not sure when to use "lie" and when to use "lay." The site gives these example sentences: "After laying down his weapon, the soldier lay down to sleep." "Will you lay out my clothes while I lie down to rest?"
The problem is that "lie" also means to not tell the truth, as in "I lied to my mother." So you would say in the past tense "I lay on the bed because I was tired."
The Purdue Online Writing Lab also explains how to use an apostrophe correctly in possessives and other cases. People often add an apostrophe to "its" in a sentence like "The group made its decision." There should be no apostrophe because what you mean is that the decision belongs to the group. "It''s" with an apostrophe is short for "it is," as in "It''s raining."
The Purdue Online Writing Lab also explains how to organize papers and avoid plagiarizing other peoples'' work. And it provides a guide to higher education in the United States, including explanations of commonly used terms.
Director Linda Bergmann says the goal is to provide as many tools as possible.
LINDA BERGMANN: "Everything from basic language skills of agreement of subject and verb, use of commas and other punctuation, complete and incomplete sentences, so that we can move from basic writing/language skills to the more sophisticated skills that graduate students, upper level undergraduates and people in the work world use."
The Web site was started in nineteen ninety-four and has plenty of fans.
LINDA BERGMANN: "We get a lot of thank you notes from people around the world. And also some schools in other countries use it as a writing handbook, as do some schools in the United States."
In all, the Purdue Online Writing Lab offers over two hundred free resources for writing and research. The address is owl.english.purdue.edu.

Metaphor

pronounced: MET-uh-for

All the world''s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
William Shakespeare
A metaphor is a figure of speech that says that one thing is another different thing. This allows us to use fewer words and forces the reader or listener to find the similarities.
The word metaphor comes from the Greek word metapherin (meaning "transfer").
The simplest form of metaphor is: "The [first thing] is a [second thing]."
Look at this example:
õ? Her home was a prison.
In the above sentence, we understand immediately that her home had some of the characteristics of a prison. Mainly, we imagine, she could not leave her home. She was trapped inside. Why it was a prison we do not know, but that would be clear from the context--perhaps her husband forced her to stay at home, perhaps she was afraid of the outside. We don''t know, but the rest of the story would tell us. What is important here is that in five simple words we understand a lot about her environment, how she felt and how she behaved. In this sentence, "prison" is a metaphor.
Look at another example:
õ? George is a sheep.
What is one characteristic of sheep? They follow each other. So we can imagine that George is a follower, not a leader. In this sentence "sheep" is a metaphor.
* Difference Between Metaphor and Simile *
Both similes and metaphors link one thing to another. A simile usually uses "as" or "like". A metaphor is a condensed simile, a shortcut to meaning, which omits "as" or "like." A metaphor creates a relationship directly and leaves more to the imagination. With simile A is like B. With metaphor A is B.
simile - metaphor
Your eyes are like the sun. - You are my sunshine.
He eats like a pig.He lives like a pig. - He is a pig.
**** Metaphor example ******
The committee shot her ideas down one by one.
-The private detective dug up enough evidence to convince the police to act.
-He broke into her conversation.
-The new movie was very popular. People flocked to see it.
-His head was spinning with ideas.
-Reading that book kindled my interest in politics.
-Tim lost his job after a heated argument with his boss.
-The new car''s ***y design increased sales for the company.
-He was dressed rather vulgarly in a loud checked suit.
-It wasn''t long before their relationship turned sour.
