TamTungTeGieng,
I missunderstood because you typed vietnamese without sign :D Your nickname remind me of the lady that I had known from my hometown.

After she graduated from high school, she became abnormal. People in my town raised funds for her to see a psychologist since her parents could not afford it. The psychologist had not known the reason. All that the psychologist said was that she was healthy. Her parents thought that a ghost took her soul, where as some neighbors thought that she was love sick. Some kids teased her. I could not stop them because most of them were teenager boys. Plus, I was just a little girl. They were not any harm to her. Were they testing her to see how she reacted? She has not fallen into any well yet. The well that would have been the medicine to cure her.

My twenty minutes is up. I would like to reduce five years to three years, and I will increase twenty minutes up to forty minutes. :D By the way, what poem are you talking about? The poem about Tám Tững Té Giếng:D I am just teasing :D

Love and Money
Is she selfish since she loves nobody? It is normal because no one can force her to love someone even herself. If she needs money, then she can go to work. How to solve the problem if her income is change? If she cannot afford the mortgage, then she can either file foreclosure or short sale. What is the different between short sale and foreclosure? Foreclosure is that you want to give your home back to the lender. Short sale is that you list your house for sale less than what you owe the lender, and the lender accepts that amount. Some people bought the properties less than two years ago in Untied States, and most of them ended up either foreclosure or short sale. What if after you sold your house and you still cannot afford the credit cards and some other debts? You don’t have to worry. No anxious. All you can do is to bankruptcy and start over again. Life is so simple. There is always an appropriate solution out there for you to solve the problem. No need to suicide. What if no one loves you, all you can do is to love them first? What if, they are not love you back ? Right now, I don't know the answer, but I can do research.

My grandfather was a literature professor. He wrote a lot of love letters and poems about my grandmother, and he sent them to her. At that time he wasn't marry her yet. She was like a princess. Her parents were the richest in town. The bad thing is that she didn't know how to read. The first time she opened the love letter, and she saw a bunch of words in there. She said," What is this? Why this guy sent me this?" She threw it in the drawer. Day after day, a drawer was full of love letters...

I go to bed. I will reread it again whenever I have spare time.

My grandfather was a literature professor. He wrote a lot of love letters and poems about my grandmother (delete: about my grandmother), and he (delete: he) sent them to her (my grandmother). At (By) that time (add comma) he wasn't (hadn’t) marry (married) her yet. She was like a princess. Her parents were the richest in town. The bad (sad) thing is (was) that she didn't know how to read.

After the correction, the sentence “He wrote a lot of love letters and poems, and sent them to my grandmother” sounds good, but I would prefer to place “poems” before “love letters.” The sentence becomes: “He wrote a lot of poems and love letters, and sent them to my grandmother.” It sounds … easier to read, I think. Picky, huh? Sorry.

Her parents were the richest in town. The sad thing was that she didn't know how to read. The first time when she opened the letter and saw a bunch of words in there, she said, "What is this?

Rose broke her left leg, and she has been driven (driving) the car (add: with) the other leg. I told her that if in the future (suggest: delete “in the future”) I break (broke) my leg, then (delete then) I cannot (could not) drive the (a) car. (delete period) Since, (delete comma) I cannot drive a car (add: with) one leg. My habit is to drive a car with both legs (suggest, "I have a habit of driving a car with both legs" because you may have more than one habit. Either that or write, "One of my habits is to drive a car with both legs"). Rose said louder (loudly), "It is dangerous to drive a car with both feet." I replied, "I am comfortable to drive (suggest: driving) a car with both feet." Rose said, "My nephew is a policeman. I will tell my nephew (suggest: him) (add: to) come in (delete: in) here to let you know that how dangerous it is to drive a car with both feet" “Oh yeah!!!” I said, "It is not illegal to drive a car with both feet. If it is, why (add: did) I passed (pass) the driving test? If it is, (suggest: delete “If it is,”) why (add: did) they gave (give) me the driver license? It doesn't matter (add: if) your nephew is (add: either) a police (policeman) or a lawyer. I am not (don’t) really care. As long as it is not illegal, then I am fine."

Suggestion:
Look up Type II of IF clause to see why I wrote: “If I broke my leg, I could not drive a car.”

I asked, "Why do you want to know the law in the United States?" Tèo said, " Because, I want to marry native american girl. What should I say when I meet an american girl? Is there any chance blond girl fall in love with me? " I said, " Of course, I see a lot of asian guys marry american girls. Some of them are very easy to please. Plus, they're not demand too much from the guy. I mean the job you are doing. They don't ask for engineer, doctor degree something like that. Not like a few of asian girls have high school degree and ask a guy to have master degree. Whenever you meet american girl, you just say hi to her and ask her out for lunch. Good luck." By the way, if you speak english not fluent, she may leave before you finish a sentence.

Note:
You may use "engineering degree" or "engineer's degree" but not "engineer degree." Similarly, use "doctorage degree" or "doctor's degree." In the US, a person who has a doctor's degree is also a person who has a PhD degree (tiến sĩ). Many Vietnamese assume that a doctor's degree is "bác sĩ." In this case, it should be a "medical doctor's degree" or an MD.

A couple, husband and wife, argued and yelled each other, so the neighbor called the police. When the police came, a wife spoke broken in english language which the police didn't understand. She also looked at her husband and talked loudly in vietnamese language. Then, the police asked her husband, "what happened? What is going on?" The police saw a finger nail scratch on a husband's hand. His hand was bleed. A husband was quiet because he didn't speak english very well. He didn't know how to explain to the police. His wife kept talking too much and also raised her voice. Finally, the police took a wife and put her in jail for a few days. While a wife was in jail, a husband had to take care a baby. A baby cried. A baby needed milk. A baby wanted a mother. Plus, a husband could not afford for day care. How to solve this problem? A husband thought and he went to the police station paid $1000 to bail his wife out. If you want to know the law, here it is.

Old Student versus Young Student

I heard someone say that some young students pick up thing faster than some old students when they learn second language. Is it true? Asking this question is like asking between an old guy 65 years old and 18 years old boy who is run faster. What if a little five years old girl says that my grandfather run faster. Why is she says that? Because, she loves her grandfather so much, and she wants him the winner. You do not surprised when you see some an old students 60 years old enroll in college. You do not supprised when you see a 20 years old students sit next to a 55 years old students in the class, in the United States. It doesn't matter how old you are. If you pass the examination, you can register for the classes. If I am a college principal in Vietnam, then I will change the rule. I will accept all the students, who wants to learn, the one that pass the test, and I will not consider their age. As long as they pay for a tuition, why do not accept them?

Today is August 20, 2008 and I have a lump under my eyelid (Today, Aug. 20, 2008, I have a lump...). I hope it is a chalazion so that it will go away within a month or a couple of weeks. If it is not a chalazion, then it may be some kind of cancer. I am (no am, experienced) headache and dizziness. This is the signs of threatening life (These are life threatening signs). If it gets worse, then I better call the ophthalmologist for an appointment. :D Number 13 is bad luck if someone believes in superstition.:D

I see you're becoming more conscientious of mistakes, it shows in your writing. It's a very good sign di13. The few mistakes you're making now is somewhat arguable in what is known as writing style. Some techniques such as narrative or technical writing, you may prefer more commas to separate thoughts, or listing of events as you have done; others consisting of more fluid storyline to artistically describe some event:-). I congratulate you di13, don't worry about the "chalazion". If 13 is so unlucky, then 14-thap. tu' should be deadly...that's why they're superstition. Good luck on your quest :-).
