I can say without hesitation that English club is doing much better than many other boxes such as Saigon English club (I'm sorry SEC moderators, but your club is really in bad shape), Pop club (I'm sorry sis mellyvee, but it's true), So thich, and so on.... If you find English club members zany, why donâ?Tt you prove you're an exception! You know how to, right?
In ad***ion, let me tell you upfront that EC is not a kindergarten and I can say right away a child's not gonna laugh until his teeth fallen (I don't know if this is an idiom, do you mean "cuoi tung rangâ??) when he knows what we're discussing on EC TTVN. He is not old enough to talk about love, he doesn't know how to write a letter of recommendation (he even doesn't know what it is), he isn't able to write an essay for everyone to check, he can't make out complicated structures, idioms and phrasal verbs, he doesn't have enough vocabulary to translate a few short stories and songs as well. Are those enough to prove EC is not a kindergarten, friend?
As we go on, we remember all the times we had together
As our lives change, come whatever
We will still be FRIENDS FOREVER

Sorry BritBrit...,
Tôi không có ý định chê trách gì hay là ta đây...
You can be assured that It is only my practice and that saying is not implied to lessen EC club...
pls forgive and forget...ok?
