Sorry that i''m unable to attend the discussion this week. However, i''d like to present my opinion about the topic this week.
1 I''ve never favored sport until I got here. The life style required you to do exercise *****rvive. I mean after spending 5 or more hours working on computer, if you dont take a walk, or do some stretching yourself, soon your body cant afford the work any more. In the countries like where i''m right now, sport is very important. Lots of students even get scholarship for being a good athlete in high school.
2 I dont have any ob_jections to a specific sport. However, I like badminton, breakdance and yoga. Badminton is good because i played it since i was young. Not very well though, but i still like it. My brother is obssessed with it too, eventhough he doesnt play any better (I heard he used to play at San Viet Han, but that''s for a long time, i dont know what''s going on now). As for breakdance, it''s dangerous sometimes, but if you''re a girl and you want to keep your body as a 20-s, you should practice it. It looks very simple just with several techniques, but it requires lots of movements from your body - chest, back, leg, butt,... I just begin to learn this, not too good at it too, . Yoga is good for your mind i think. You need to have your mind rest sometimes and yoga is a good exercise for it.
3 hih, doing exercise doesnt just just lengthen your life span, what it does is to provide you with a strength to face the hardship of life, both physically and mentally. So i disagree with this argument, by the way, it''s a the world cup.
7 Since i havent followed up with current sport events, and also passed the age to be obssessed with a handsome sporter, i dont idolize any one.
thankx
tks 4 ur enthusiasm

Hi,
I have an oppoturnity to write a report after joining the conference last night.
The 15th topic discuss Sports & Heath. I?Tm in Group 2, including CBC, Ky Anh, Hien Tran and me. So what happened :
Today, therê?Tre also a lot of problem but at last, we could make the conference.
The first, as the newcomer, I and Hien Tran had to introduce ourself. (See our profile to know who we are ).
All of us admit that Sports have the good affect to human health. Sports help you be stronger, more clever, have no disease and have a long life, ?
Hien Tran like football & swimming. Ky Anh & CBC also like swimming. They usually go to swimming pool at weekend. To me, I like football & Takewondo. As the football fans, CBC & Ky Anh said that they?Tre willing to go to watch any football matchs in which I and Hien Tran play as the football players ( certainly, only one goalkeeper inside the field, another must be outsite ).
Ky Anh don?Tt like running very much. He has some problem with his heart. In the otherwise, Hien Tran like running. He can run 9 kilometers in ?..24 hours.
About the sport events we like best : World Cup. Hien Tran like Zidan with his bold head, especially he like the video in which Zidan ?otouch? his head to Materazzi?Ts stomach. But actually, he like German team. I like Brazil but they made me disappointed. Ky Anh like Spain. CBC like Italian team. Although she didn?Tt admit that she like Italian football players than Italian team, we know that .
So, whô?Tre our idols :
+ Me : used to admire Henry.
+ Hien Tran : Michael Schumacher.
+ Ky Anh : Sorry, I forgot. Can you fill in ? Ah, CBC reminded me : Louis Amstrong.
+ CBC : Italian football coach and at last, she admit that she admired Cannavaro .
In summary, we had the good conference. Hope to see all of you in the next time.

Attenders : meaningless, aquarain, hamonie, litte_spiderman, kyanhpham, kiddi85 and cbc
Yest, my banana microfone didn''t work, just listening not speaking so I was outside to observe everybody. hix.
Meaningless did host role well. cheers and tks to u for helping me.
We''ll wait 4 the report written by litte_spiderman.

Yesterday, we had an online meeting and dicussed about learing languages.
I was so happy that all of our members were so great, patient( because we got some problems with skype), interesting, dymanic...They gave us many amazing ideas.
We did it so well.
I want to say thank to all of you: Rain, Hien Tran, Phuc Nguyen and one late member was Ky Anh. We came late but you did give us new things.
When we finished the topic, we 8 until about mid-night. I could not believe that we did. We talked about many things: travelling, study,...I cannot write it now because I think I should give chance to others. They may remember all of our time yesterday.
Hey, guys, I am looking forwarding to you

ec ec
yesterday i didn''t join the meeting so now I post my idea about the topic to share with you .
On my opinion , *** doesn''t effect in learning language. Young people can learn language better than old one.
They have good memory and more time to learn language. Extroverts are better because they have more change to prastice. More over
they can share with their friends about the way to learn language.And there are some characteristic and habits that I think good for learning language:
Good at logictis
Have ability to plan and can do the plan ùS.
Patient
Working hard õ?Ư.
I think you should do those things to be a good learner:
Learnig everyday
Prastice whenever you can
Seeing film and try to listen

I can speak 2 language vietnamese(native language) and english. My english is not good especialy in speaking and lisening . I think that fluency is more important than accuracy. If you want to know why, just answer my question: Can you spaek vietnamese accurately??? I think your answer will õ?onoõ? right???.
In vietnam, they way that language is taught is bad. You are taught english for 7 years and after that you couldnõ?Tt listen and speak well. But now is was changed . And I hope itõ?Tll work well.
The tourists in my country like to use our language.But Itõ?Ts hard to them. They find is hard to speak vietnamese because of our mark.And I think that when you go to a foreign country you will like to speak some common sentences in their language.
Yeah I think that you should speak a second laguage when you were a childe. Itõ?Ts easy to learn language when you were a child. The chinese children at my city can speak 2 language very well. They are taught vietnamese at school and chinese at home. So if you speak 2 language when youõ?Tre young you can speak them well easily.
And I think that chinese should be the official laguage. Because chinese is every where. More over you can search in google faster in chinese than in english .
Hope that donõ?Tt miss next meet

I don''''t mind if you write more, My Nuong. It''''s better for me because I will have a nice sleep if you do that.
So, the report. I hope it''''s not too long. I''''m sure that I missed somethings.
This is the second time I write report for the conference. I don?Tt know whether or not the old SEC members ?~re too lazy to write down so they ?opass the ball (or bomb)? ( as Ky Anh said) to the new memebers.
The conference happened last night at 10pm, topic : 101 things a bout language learning. ( I don?Tt think the number 101 is enough, it should have a thoudsands of things about language learning).
Our group : My Nuong (host), Hien Tran, Rain, Me (Clerk) and after we finished, Ky Anh also joined to talk about anything without involving to the topic. Another person, Lucke, he want to look for his in-dream girl , so he joined too.
Because My Nuong, Rain are the old members, I and Hien Tran are the new members, we have to introduce ourself again.
I was impressed by My Nuong because at first, she said that shê?Ts secondary student in University of Education, then she said that shê?Ts a English teacher & working. Very impressive, My Nuong.
The first question, all of us agreed that young people learn English better than old people. Woman learn English better than man ( because woman?Ts not lazy as man ).
We admited that wê?Tre lazy & not a good English learner, except My Nuong. She asked us which factors affect to English learning : our characteristics or English teachers. Rain & Hien Tran supposed that the reason they?Tre bad (or good) is from their characteritics. To me, I think that it?Ts from both 2 sides : me & teachers. You know, when studied in a class with good teachers, with interesting eviroment, I feel comfortable & I will learn harder. Maybe My Nuong agreed with me because she thought that she wasn?Tt a good English teacher in speaking and she quit it. But My Nuong, please remember that I have never studied in your class and raised this idea to you before.
Hien Tran could speak English, Vietnamese and German. My Nuong could speak 5 languages : English, Vietnamese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese. Rain & me could speak ??.2 languages : English & Vietnamese.
We were not sure how well we can speak them.
When we knew My Nuong could speak Russian, at once, we asked her for singing the famous Russian song : The millions of roses. ( At the latter of the conference, she sang but it?Ts very short).
All of us admited that wee can speak Vietnamese as well as the Vietnamese .
My Nuong, Rain & Hien Tran thought that, in speaking, Fluency is more important than Accuracy. I think in some cases, Accuracy is more important than Fluency so I supposed that when we can speak English fluently, we should try to fix the error while talking.
I didn?Tt here anything about the discussion of question 5 because I was sleeping.
Rain said that she have some foreign friends and they like to speak Vietnamese but the others think the tourists just really want to say something like : ?oXin chaô?, ?oCam on?, ?oAnh yeu em?, ?oEm dep lam?.
My Nuong think that the children are no need to learn to speak a second language too early. Rain also think so, she suggested they should learn at 4, 5 years old ?????
We think English should be still the official world language.
And ???..listened to the the song : The millions of roses.
Ky Anh joined.
We talked about something which is related in traveling & the meaning of our names.
My Nuong are going to go to England on business. Hien Tran advised her to buy some clothes and visit some Stores in Enland and buy some gifts for ??.. her parents. Hien Tran, how about us ????
Discuss the meaning of our names, I found that My Nuong can play piano, Ky Anh ?~s a keyboard ?.. But both of them don?Tt know what exactly the symbol of Sol ( Do re mi fa sol la si ). ( Sol or soh, hâ?ha..).
Rain left because she felt asleep.
Ah, Lucke have joined.
He asked My Nuong that should he use the correct grammar in speaking because he think hê?Ts bad at tenses (some complex tenses). He told a story and I?Tm not sure everyone can understand him (at least me although he told me again in Vietnamese ).
So I have to go to sleep now.
Any mistakes, please correct it for me ( My Nuong, Hien Tran, Rain, Ky Anh, Lucke).
Good night.

To Mr Spider Man : Good job bro. I''m sure you must be good at writing in your class . Very clear and impressive

I joined very late ''coz I had come back from Phan Thiet. When being in, they finished the topic. Sis Nuong ran the room rather well. We got a funny quarrel between "SOL" and "SOH". Have you guys now had the right answer???
SIS Nuong invited us to join in Mid Autumn Charity for children at her Church. But I have just informed that she will leave here in 23th. So, how can sis Nuong???
