To Quanbanh97202: I can't remember the song's title, but in Vietnamese, the lyrics is like "..Em co' ba, la` em co' ma'. Ma' yeu em, nhu chinh than minh...Tu ngay sinh ra me nang nhu trung, me hung nhu hoa, me om vao long.." Does it make any sense ?
To p2p: Which assignment are you working on ? I've been driven mad recently too, cos my program got too many bugs which never ever seemed to be friendly to me...Not sure if I can help, but just let me know if you need a hand, ok ? 4 weeks is not a very long time, but it's not really short either... Stay calm, and divide your task into small pieces, then do it little by little...God couldn't do everything at once, what makes you think you can ?

I've just finished the book call "The diary of a young girl" of Anne Frank. Have you ever heard about this literary work ? It's a real diary of a little Jew girl, who had to hide in an office building with her family and another family during Great War II. Her writing style was so lively that I could picture the sight of the old, huge and secret building, of her family dinners with mashed potatoes, beans or bread, of a Mrs-pushy-and-ridiculous Van Daan or her Father, a "terrific chap". It's very hard to believe that there were many people who had to hide away from "people", never be able to breathe fresh air, play under the bright sun and live a normal life...It is even more difficult to conceive that in such a situation, a little teen girl could live with a high will, belief and optimism. Anne wrote her diary from June 1942 to August 1944, and three days after her last page, the whole family was revealed, consequently, taken away to German concentration camps. Fortunately, her father was able *****rvive until the war was over, so that he could publish the diary worldly, fulfilling his daughter's wish...
Moreover, I found the diary interesting also because there were many times that I recognized myself in Anne's image. It might be the common psychology of teenagers, I mean the innermost feelings and thinkings, which we don't normally share with a second person. There were many moments that Anne got cross with her mom and could only rely on her dad. If anyone ever read my diary when I was at Anne's age, he would also find several pages where I expressed my dissatisfaction, anger and upset with my parents (only occasionally by the way ). I giggled when Anne commented that she was so shameful, reading back pages where she wrote :"Mistress Anne is very grown-up, and understands most things completely". To be honest, my thinking was pretty much the same, more or lest, childishly and rather cheekily. There were also dreams, hopes and plans, of which several were built on castle-cloud, but still, purely, intensively and sincerely. A lot that I've learnt from Anne Frank."...I'm not intelligent, not clever as Margot (--her older sister--) and certainly I'm not beautiful either...But I'm cheerful, and I'm determined to be happy for all of my life....."

Yes , this is the book I''ve ever loved , I was amazed (cause how can a very young girl have such beautiful ,frank ,deep ,full thinking) ,I cry when finishing that book . Suppose I''m just like Peter , why she did give me( as well as the readers) the most useful advices( just through her thinking) but then I''m so weak ,as if I havent read the book ...! Cause I''ve just realized how dangerous our lives are ...I mean I was afraid for all my life... thinking that life is an arrangement that we cant defeat against...how poor I am .Yes I''m the one who lives without the soul , without thinking . OH no , my life can''t be that bad fororever I have to do Something ,no ,MUCH to change it ,I hope I''ll find my confidence my faith .Any one understand mine?

Hi Mahars, I am Quan, a new member of TTVN. For me, English have never been interesting aspect until it became a big obstacle to study at high level and to comunicate with native people. You know, after looking at what you have done for TTVN in order to help others developing English ability, I think you may be the one can give me some valuable advices improving my English skills.
Actually, I have been learning English for quite a long time, but I cannot reach the general level, as I hope. As far as I am concerned, writing, and reading are perhaps the most difficult ones, especially writing. I do believe I am able to write an essay using wide range of expressions and different style of writing. However the process usually takes very long time, actually. So it is definitely not good enough to study abroad or even further study in Vietnam. It seems that I tend to use lots of complicated sentences and think too much unnecessarily , every time when I start writing something either an email for a friend or an essay. As a result, it is probably hard to understand clearly what I wrote, sometime.
Another difficulty is that I don''t know how to explain by speaking in an easy way to let people understand my ideas. Although, I always have a plan or at least, the main points about what I am going to say, nervousness, shyness and lack of confidence led to unexpected result in term of communicating by English. As you know, study abroad highly requites self-studying and discussing abilities. Our tutors tend to expect us explaining and presenting our works in frond of people. Furthermore, it is necessary to exchange ideas with other partners in group tutorial with a view to improving those ideas and achieving the best result.
I do appreciate the limitation of my English ability. Thus, with attempt to find out the effective ways, I hope you can tell me some tips and useful methods that you used to experience. Your advices will be invaluable for me. Anyway, thanks for your consideration! Looking forward õ?Ư
