    Thăm của tôi đến Việt Nam. Tháng trước tôi đã đi Việt Nam để thăm gia đinh bạn trai tôi. Tôi đã đi Việt Nam trước, vào 2012. Khi tôi về Việt Nam, tôi và bạn trai tôi đi Bến tre từ Saigon bằng xe ô tô. Trong đêm đầu tiên ở Bến tre tôi đã đi nhà dì 2 của bạn trai tôi để ăn tối. Chị họ của bạn trai tôi định có đám cưới sang hôm sau. Khi tôi đi ngủ, tôi bị rất bệnh và không thể đi đám cưới. Tôi đã rất buồn. Tôi đã ở lại trong Bến Tre vào 2 tuần, và đi Vũng tau vào 3 ngày. Tôi cũng đi Saigon vào 3 ngày. Em rất thích Vũng tau vì rất đẹp và tôi có thể tắm và lái xe vì không có nhiều xe. Gia đình bạn trai tôi có nhiều người. Bạn trai tôi có 31 họ và nhiều hơn cháu. Tôi có thể nói chuyện một it tiếng việt với gia đình bạn trai tôi, nhưng mà nhiều gia đinh bạn trai không muốn nói chuyện vói tôi vì tôi nói chậm quá và bạn trai có thể nói nhanh. Tôi nói chuyện với trẻ con của gia đình bạn trai tôi, vì họ bịnh nhân hơn. Tôi không biết khi tôi sẽ trở lại Việt nam vì tôi định có đám cưới vào tháng 6 năm nay và tôi không biết khi tôi sẽ có con. Tôi rất thích Việt nam và muốn sớm trở lại, có lẽ 2-3 năm nữa. Last month I went to Vietnam to visit my boyfriend's family. I had been to Vietnam before, in 2012. When I arrived in Vietnam, my boyfriend and I went to Ben Tre from Saigon. That night in Ben tre, I went to my boyfriends Aunt 2's home for dinner. His cousin was planning a wedding for the next morning. When I went to bed that night I got really sick and had to miss the wedding. I was very sad. I stayed in Ben tre for 2 weeks and went to Vung tau for 3 days and Saigon for 3 days. I really liked Vung tau because it was very pretty and I could swim and drive a motorbike because there weren't a lot of cars or bikes around. My boyfriends' family has many people. He has 31 cousins and even more nieces and nephews. I could speak Vietnamese with his family a little, but many people in his family didn't want to speak with me because I talk to slow, and it was faster and easier for them to talk to my boyfriend. I did talk with the children in his family because they were more patient with me. I don't know when I will return to Vietnam because I am planning a wedding this June and don't know when I will have children. I love Vietnam and hope to return maybe in 2-3 years.

    I read the article "student lack confident to use english" on vietnamnews.vn

    In this article, they wrote "Vietnamese student face the common problem that although they spent six or seven years studying english at their school. But they can't pronounce an english sentence correctly, they are not confident enough to communicate in the language, "
    I went through this in my own experiences. I grew up in the countryside and experienced this problem as I matured. In the countryside they use a traditional system/method to teach students.  They mostly teach students grammar and they never teach students how to speak and make a conversation. They also mispronounce many words in English. Unfortunately, all the students imitated the teachers so they also have poor pronunciation. This is the reason all the students including me and my friends really hate english. As you know, in rural areas we dont have lots of means to research things.
    Now that I  have moved and I have live in a city, I know English is very important, especially if i want to develop my career. I think I have to try very hard if I want to speak english fluently and remind myself, "it's not me, it's not english, it's the method i use", I keep trying until I achieve my goal.
    One day, when I can speak english fluently, I want to help other people who want to study english, especialy all the people in my countryside.

    telephone

    My topic is about a modern piece of equipment called a telephone which is used for connecting with family and friends.
    I used to use it frequently but now I use it less often than before.  
    If you want to use it for a long time, you should not drop it into water because it will become badly damaged.
    Moever,you should perserve and protect your "mobile phone" with a leather case.
    The use of cell phone holsters to avoid scratches or hard object collision that could damage the casing and screen display. Also holsters help show your personality with many colors, designs and different materials.(đoan này nói làm thế nào để sử dung nó lâu dài em ko bít ghe cái gì nếu chị cóa ý tươq hay hơn thỳ c bổ sung vào dùm e )
    A telephone is useful for me because it's helped me keep contact with family and surf the wep to read news or play games when I have free time.

    Tôi rất vui vì tôi sẽ tốt nghiệp! Tôi đang học thạc sĩ ngành nhà trị lieu. Tôi sẽ tốt nghiệp vào ngày 20 tháng 12. Sau đó tôi sẽ tìm việc ở bệnh viện.

I want to work with adults who have a brain injury can can no longer speak. I cannot speak about my career in Vietnamese very well because I do not know enough words to express myself yet.

    Hello Mathew. I have been studying vietnamese for a little over 8 months. It is a difficult language mainly because of the tones and vowels. I would recommend focusing on pronunciation of those first because if you are unable to use them correctly people will have a hard time understanding you. Most commercially available learning products use the northern dialect as it is considered the standard dialect. I personally am trying to learn the southern dialect because that is where my fiancé is from. The main differences I've noticed are in the north they use a lot of /z/ and /q/ and in the south they use /y/ and /w/, but I'm sure there are a lot more. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions. Good luck!
