Hi Lee,
Why do you say that?? :):)
Some one cheated you ?? hehe :)


Its based on my experience & what my friend experienced. Even newspaper sometimes publish it.

A man killed 2 of his kids then jump off a building because his wife cheats & he doesn't want his kids to have a stepfather. This is just recent news...

henrylamcs

It's not "love" that killed him, it's stupidity.  How can a person bear to kill his own children just to vent his anger on his wife. Totally insane.

I cant answer this for you as Im not the man.:)

Maybe in his thoughts, hes not venting anger. I think he doesn't want his kids to call another man "PAPA"

At their funeral, the wife was not mourning or remorseful. She was happily talking to relatives, etc. Maybe shes hiding her guilt or sadness inside.

Lysa Tran

Ah ha,

Lee I ,think your friend's and your experience are not enought to say that all VNse Women act like this. You know, maybe in the newspaper you've have just read is very rarely about this suitation which is for the men.
You know VNse suffered more than this.About the man in newspaper, I think he is just one of the few people. How can I say? Maybe he is a weak man, he dont dare to face to the truth.(I do not insult him).Newspaper just said that his wife cheated him, so he killed his children and commited suicide  (We really dont know what happened inside his family>>No one can know exactly). Is he very selfish when took of his childen's lives??
They have right to live.
  Anyway I think know he shouldn't do that.
(Maybe you just some newspaper about foreigners , about the VNse women's fate, you never know).
If my words make you get upset, forgive please.Because today's Women's Day :):)

Correct. I always believe in not wearing a 'mask' to hide your character. I'm myself. I dont need to act good to accommodate other people.

I'm dropping by next month. Still deciding where to go.

Lysa Tran

just only you or with your friends?

For most Sing girls, seeing is believing. They dont want to hear reasons behind it.

Yes, you learn with your mind. But without seeing it, how can you learn?:lol::lol::D

The truth is when you listen to both sides of the story & understand it, not like some sing girls who only listen to 1 side.

why did me say, i have to bring note to learn. And learn by my mind and hand? Because, i have to think about it, after choose, what so good, i learn, what not good, i leave. :D:D I'll learn the good thing, bad thing, i won't learn. :P
(Henrry: Can you get me a disciple ? :D )You can not have a comparison between me and Sing girls. Because we are living 2 diffirent countrys. Every one has a own opinion. ^^ Today is women's day.^^

i'm working in a traditional theatre, So, it's free for this day. It's not busy like the office staffs. I have time to relax and make some small party with my friends. It's a happy day for me, and you? do you have a lot of flower? ^^

This is what "upsidedown" posted. What I interpreted from his/her post was I should be harsh on your comment.:):rolleyes:

Why did he tell you " should be harsh on my comment "? My comment had a wrong or sinful with you? :(:(

Maybe he/she wrote the wrong thing, hence i mis-interpreted it.

No worries, mate

henrylamcs

Hi Rose, I hope you don't mind me cutting in.

I think upsidedown has mistakenly type the wrong words (or typo error). I don't think she has this meaning, rather, I think she is trying to request Lee not to be too harsh on your comment :). Nobody means to stir trouble here.

I just felt that we should not be looking at people's fault at time, rather, we should look at the bright side of thing (pessimistic).

One example is though we knew that it is difficult to understand your sentences at time, but your courage to continuously converse with us, I think it is commendable. The way of life is not to stop learning, but rather learn to accomodate.

If everything is so smooth sailing, there won't be suffering in this world. I think to have an enduring relationship, it is not about what we expect the other parties to be, I personally think it should be how we see the difference in each other and learn to cope with it.  If we keep clinging onto the past, it will be tough to swallow. We should embrace the future :D

No worries. Nobody's laughing at your Tieng Anh. I consider you quite good roi. Just continue what you're learning & you'll be able to correct those mistakes in no time.

I have a cousin in Australia. They like to call people 'mate' as a friend. So I called you 'mate' as a friend.:)

I have a few Vietnamese friends, whose English is not as good as you lor, no joke!!!:)

Key point is to speak English everyday & you'll be able to correct those mistakes. With another person guiding you is even better...

Lysa Tran

I think that's a good way. I really wanna improve my english. However I'm so shy and not confident to talk. I also know my weakness, I try to overcome it.
  I'm finding a friend so I can talk also practice english too.

Okey, i understand. normal, about V,Adj, or N. If i have, it's more simple, because i can check it on Dics. I often have the troubles in speaking ( hear and say ) :rolleyes:
It's very bad :nothappy: How to standard pronunciation? :nothappy::sosad:

1 of the way is to break up a word if you cant pronounce.

Example :

aeroplane. Ae-ro-plane

Intelligent = In-tel-li-gent

Complicated = Com-pli-ca-ted

So on................

This is called phonics.

Enjoy.....
