My best clothes are not modern or fashionable. Maybe someday they will become into fashion but I really do not care. They certainly look better I need on me than my birthday suit.

Đáng lẽ post bài sửa lên típ, mà sực nhớ ko có để bài ở nhà, thui ngày mai sẽ post lên vậy. Giờ tranh thủ tổng kết nhé, mà ko biết có ai thèm đọc ko nữa, ko khéo uổng công mình mất.

Tổng kết những lỗi thường gặp:​

Các bạn ngắt câu chưa đúng.

Tất cả (kể cả tui, ngoại trừ babyrock ?" người khiến tui thắc mắc là đã giỏi như vậy còn thgia để làm gì) đều bị vướng ở chỗ đọc nối âm.
Nhầm lẫn những từ có âm đọc giống nhau như: certainly thành suddenly, will thành would và ngược lại, nines thành knights/nights, shoe thành suit, foot thành food....
Lưu ý các bạn:
Đôi khi nghe ko ra, các bạn có thể tra từ điển, vd: be dressed to the nines hay be dressed to the teeth; đa số đều ko nghe được từ nines và teeth, nhưng các bạn có thể tra từ dress thì sẽ lần ra vấn đề thôi. Mà học như vậy thì mới nhớ lâu được.
Mới nghĩ ra được nhiu đó thoai.

Hix. Xí hổ wá! Bài em lỗi sai nhìu như nấm mọc sau mưa ý chị Maroon nhỉ? Lần sau em sẽ cố gắng hơn ạ!
Cảm ơn chị nhìu!

Great job, toad! Tuy còn sai nhưng đó là những chỗ khó và lạ. Maroon cũng sai nữa là
