Cám ơn chị Maroon!
Cho em hỏi chị và các bạn:
- Majestic""s opera và Majestic"s opera khác nhau ở điểm gì?
- Dịch câu " Vừa lúc nãy" sang tiếng Anh có phải là: "A few minutes ago" không?
Step by step! I always go ahead!

1. Chị kg biết ý em hỏi là gì, nhưng theo phần highlight của em có vẻ như em thắc mắc về các dấu sở hữu cách thì phải.
Thực ra, đây là lỗi của trang web, khi em gõ một dấu [phẩy s] và nhấp vào Trả lời, thì trên bài em vừa post sẽ là [phẩy phẩy s]. Nếu em quay lại sửa lỗi thì sẽ có tới 4 dấu phẩy xuất hiện. Cứ như vậy, mỗi lần sửa lỗi sẽ xuất hiện thêm 2 dấu phẩy.
Còn nếu em hỏi vì sao chị lại sửa chỗ đó thì em xem lại đi. Chị sửa thành Majesty, chứ chị ko hề sửa dấu ''s. Và em thử nghe lại xem có đúng là Majesty hay không nhé
2. ''vừa lúc nãy'' đúng là dịch sang tiếng Anh là ''a few minutes ago''. Vd: It happened a few minutes ago.
Ngoài ra, còn có 1 idiom cũng có nghĩa này, đó là: ''just now''. Vd: I saw him just now.
Thân mến!

Vâng! Đúng là em hỏi phần sở hữu cách! Hoá ra là do lỗi của e***or. Có hỏi thì mới biết là quả thực em không chú ý chị sửa Majestic thành Majesty. Em mới chỉ biết từ Majestic! Nên lúc nghe cũng hơi thắc mắc sao họ dùng: Her Majestic Theatre. Theo em hiểu là nhà hát tráng lệ của thành phố! Bây giờ thi biet Her Majesty''''s Theatre là gì rồi!
Đi một ngày đàng học một sàng khôn!!
Step by step! I always go ahead!!!

The Bush''s Speech​

I?Tm Steve Ember with ?oIn the News? in VOA special English.
President Bush spoke to American people on Tuesday about the war in Iraq. Mr Bush did not announce any policy changes. He spoke on the first anniversary of change of power from American led Coalition to Iraqi government. He made the speech from an army base at Fort Bragg, North ? . The president called Iraq, the late battlefield in the world against terrorists who hate freedom and want to control the Middle East. He said the war reached the American source with the attack of September 11th, 2001. Mr Bush talked about image of violence in Iraq. He said ?oI know Americans asked the questions it is sacrifice worth. It is worth and it is vital to the future security about the country?. President said Iraq has taken steps to warm a democratic government through the election held in January. He noted that Iraqis are in process of writing constitution. Mr Bush also discussed American training for the members of the Iraqi security forces. In his words, today, Iraq has more than 160 thousand security forces, trained and equipped for variety of missions. Mr Bush said it would be a serious mistake to set the time limit for withdrawing American forces. He said Iraqis need to know that America will not leave before the job is done. And he said the enemy would know that all they have to do is waste. The president said he is willing to send more troops but the commander tells him they have the number they need. Some critics of the world say few Iraqi troops are able to operate independently. They say it will take at least two more years to build an effective Iraqi army. President Bush talked about an increase in internet assistances for Iraq in past year. But critics noted that a number of countries have withdrawn troops or announced plans to leave or have not yet given money promised. More than 1,700 American service members have been killed in Iraq. Critics have long accused the President of forces linking Iraq and the September 11th attack as a reason for war. However, many now agree that a number of foreign terrorists in Iraq have increased as the result of the war. They say American troops must defeat them. Still, public opinion research has shown an increase in the number of American who question the president policy on the war. 53% of those in one study done before this speech said it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq.
