The English Village for the Nghe - EVN (Làng Anh Ngữ của Người Nghệ)

Dear Saxophone, as I said previously, your post contain some mistakes and the one pointed out by Beba is one example.
The fact IMF put a restrict rule on developing countries sometimes, it goes so far that it interferes the dosmestic affairs of those sovereign countries
1/ "The fact + a clause" is considered a noun clause (not a complete sentence) and, therefore, serves as a subject in the above-mentioned sentence. "It" in this case is not a pseudo-subject; it is wrongly redundant.
2/ "to interfere" should be followed by the preposition "in/into", ie. "to interfere in something". Hence, your sentence should be "...that it INTERFERES IN the domestic affairs of sovereign countries"
I''ll come up again with other mistakes soon.

Xu huướng hiện nay....: The trend now + clause.
- Không thể khác đưuợc : It can not be otherwise.
- Không còn cách nào khác: Having no other choices/wayouts/...
- ấy vậy mà : And yet
Ex. A few people is as beautiful as her, and yet she doesn?Tt look well in picture (ăn ảnh).
- Chẳng bao lâu: Very soon + clause.
- Tính đến...: Take something into the consideration/ account
- Theo tôi nhớ/ biết : As far as I remember/ know.
- Theo tôi : According to me/ As for me / I think that...
- Chừng nào.....: The reality shows as long as + S + would + V
Ex. The reality shows as long as the US continues to treat unfairly to Isalism countries, there would be terrorism -> Chừng nào Mỹ còn đối xử không công bằng với các nuước Hồi giáo, chừng đó vẫn còn chủ nghĩa khủng bố.
- Tin hay không thì tùy : Beleave it or not.
- Hơn bao giờ hết/ hơn ai hết : More than ever before/ more than anyone else.
- Không ai ngờ : No one could think.
- Sớm hay muộn thì.... Sooner or later...
- Cuối cùng, rốt cục : In the end/ after all/ eventually/ finally.
- Phải thừa nhận là : It should be admitted that.../ It is necessary to admit the fact that...
- Không thể không kể đến : It is impossible not to mention to...

Now that I've found you, I won't let you go away...

Trời đất, một câu mới có ... 3 lỗi thì nhằm nhò gì, các hạ đây đôi khi còn đặt câu lên đến cả chục lỗi ấy chớ. Natra thái tử quả là giỏi .... tìm lỗi, bái phục bái phục. Các hạ sẽ cố gắng sửa chữa lỗi lầm.
Phải nói là pà kon ta lên mạng không phải ai cũng có nhiều thời gian, với lại búa xua công việc ở cơ quan, học hành...vin vin. Cho nên vô mấy cái bài toàn tiếng Anh tùm lum e pà kon sẽ nản chí đọc qua loa rồi ...chạy mất. Các hạ đã cố gắng bôi màu loè loẹt để pà kon đọc đỡ ngán, nhưng không phải ai cũng hứng thú đọc một bài post chỉ bằng tiếng Anh dài dằng dặc (không nói bài của thái tử tiền bối hí), do vậy bài này các hạ cố tình viết bằng tiếng Việt. Thứ nhất để nói...như trên (nói bằng tiếng Anh e các hạ vì nội lực yếu sẽ bị loạn thần kinh, tẩu hoả nhập ma mất), thứ nhì là để cỗ vũ pà kon cố gắng kiên nhẫn đọc các bài post bằng tiếng Anh (vì sau này trong chủ đề này, các hạ sẽ chỉ post bằng tiếng Anh mà thôi) và thường xuyên có bài đáp ứng. 
Trước mắt mong chư vị pàkon đặt câu và có lỗi lầm nào của các hạ mong được hết sức lượng thứ.
PS: Welcome Britney to EVN.
Close ur eyes, give me ur lips darling, do you feel my heart breaking...I kiss you when you're sleeping...ggrrruhh, I can't bear anymore...

Góp ý thêm 1 số cái nhỉ, hì hì
- Theo tôi nhớ/ biết : As far as I remember/ know.
You could also use "To the best of my knowledge"
- Theo tôi : According to me/ As for me / I think that...
Hmmmmmz, according to me is seriously wrong, you can always say "according to him/ her/ you" but "me" is never used, bare this in mind.
As far as I''m concerned, For my part, personally.... also has the same meaning.
- Tin hay không thì tùy : Beleave it or not.
Typo, BELIEVE
- Không dám (khi không chấp nhận lời cảm ơn) : Don?Tt mention it.
What about not at all?
Hopefully you guys will get what I mean, I''m a bit busy now so cannot reply carefully.
- Chẳng trách : No wonder why/ not surprisinglly....

Now that I've found you, I won't let you go away...

Thank you very much, Britney, for your contribution!!!
To Beba: Don''t mention it!
And here are some other small mistakes made by Saxophone (maybe intentionally ):
1/ A few people is (shoud be are) as beautiful as her, and yet she doesn?Tt look well in picture (should be in plural form pictures) (ăn ảnh).
2/ Chừng nào.....: The reality shows as long as + S + would + V
In fact, "as long as" already fully conveys the meaning of "chừng nào". It is not necessary all the time for the phrase "the reality shows" to go with "as long as" to form the equivalent of the Vietnamese "chừng nào". In this case, "the reality shows..." means "thực tế cho thấy...".
eg. Miễn là/Chừng nào anh có đủ tiền thì anh có thể đi học.
= As long as you have enough money, you can go to school.
3/ The reality shows as long as the US continues to treat unfairly to Isalism countries, there would be terrorism.
Not treat unfairly to + smb, but treat smb badly/unfairly/like dirt (Đối xử ai đó một cách thậm tệ/không công bằng)
Not Isalism countries, but Islamic countries (In fact, there is no word like "Isalism" in English). Therefore, the sentence should be ".... continues to treat Islamic countries unfairly, ..."
4/ Không thể không kể đến : It is impossible not to mention to...
We have "to mention something"(Đề cập/kể đến cái gì đó), not "to mention about something" nor "to mention to something". Hence, the above structure should be "It is impossible not to mention + something (not "mention to").
Due to the limited time, I must go now and will be back soon. Good luck!

Many thanks to everybody, esp "prince" Natra. What a lucky day when receiving your valuable assistance and on time - discoverring.
By the way I''d like to ask you a question about compound nouns. To you, is the N+N structure impossibe? Defacto, I just raise the question for myself, I think such a English skilled man like you must have the answer, that is "N+N" structure is acceptable, of course in some specific cases. In that cases, two or more nouns combine with each other, form a new noun, called compound noun.
Back to your "correct-sheet", except the rest, I wonder was there something wrong in the way i used "Islamism + countries", if it was, was it due to the typing error, not grammar structure? Pls explain more clearly for me "Islamic countries" and "Islamism countries", what are the differences?
If you don''t want to take so much attention to the so-detail-error then let''s continue with new post (hope that will be full of fresh knowledges).
I''m now on a remote-business in NinhThuan post office, even I don''t want but have to say I''m quite busy, because the new billing-cycle is coming up. However I will try my best to post, post  and post... more than i can say
PS: I recognize that may be only you, Natra..... where are others (cyclo, beba.. and zulu) ??? Take a hand, pls..Hehe, it is likely that Zulu is not interested in such topics of this kind, isn''t it???
Close ur eyes, give me ur lips darling, do you feel my heart breaking...I kiss you when you're sleeping...ggrrruhh, I can't bear anymore...

Here is just something for you to me***ate and relax after hard time of English study. You can also try translating it into Vietnamese.
How a friend is different from an acquaitance.
There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.
It''s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you don''t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don''t understand because you don''t know enough about them.
On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are "in love" with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.
Friends are the people you feel safe around because you know they care about you. They call just to see how you are doing, because a friend doesn''t need an excuse. They tell you the truth, the first time, and you do the same. You know that if you have a problem, they are there to listen.
Friends are the people who won''t laugh at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt you they try hard to make it up to you. They are the people you love, regardless of whether you realize it.
Friends are the people you cried with when you got rejected from colleges and during the last song at the prom and at graduation. They are the people that when you hug them, you don''t think about how long to hug and who''s going to be the first one to let go.
Maybe they are the people that hold the rings at your wedding, or maybe they are the people who give you away at your wedding, or maybe they are the people you marry. Maybe they are the people who cry at your wedding because they are happy or because they are proud.
They are the people who stop you from making mistakes and help you when you do. They are are the people whose hand you can hold, or you can hug or give them a kiss and not have it be awkward because they understand the things you do and they love you for them.
They stick with you and stand by you. They hold your hand. They watch you live and you watch them live and you learn from them. Your life is not the same without them.
These are your friends.

Dear Saxophone,
Compound nouns are nouns that consist of two or more nouns; the modifying nouns come before the modified nouns. (note that a compound noun is considered a NOUN not a STRUCTURE). It is Ok to say "Islamism countries" with "Islamism" modifying "countries" though it is not commonly used; instead, we use "Islamic countries". However, it is not a problem of compound nouns but a problem of collocation or regular combination of words. Good luck!

Từ " theo tôi" thi các bạn có thể sử dụng: In my opinion.
