It was great to speak with Phuroc. He is an enthusiastic student and our conversations are always interesting. We spoke about descriptions of photographs. He expresses himself very well.

    A made-up story (No.1) It was a sunny Sunday morning. I was walking on a path way in the park near my house, enjoying the beautiful weather. Suddenly, I saw a man lying on the ground. He was sleeping with his head leaning on a wooden bench while his hand was still holding a green bottle. The bottle was empty and he stank of wine. He must had drunk too much last night. I wondered what happened to that man. At first I thought there must be something terrible happening to him lately. Shortly, I realized, however, I was totally wrong. He was the guy who won a million dollars in the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire yesterday. So there was no way he got drunk because of the sadness in life. Certainly, he was just sleeping on his victory after emptying out a bottle of wine. What a taste of happiness! Then, I realized deep inside my mind I felt jealous of him, not because of his success but his ability to get dunk so easily – just one single bottle of wine, that was all he needed. Sometimes, I want to drink to madness then falling asleep to forget the world for a while. What prevents me from doing so, however, is that I am pretty good at drinking, so if I want to get drunk, I will have to spend all of my savings buying wine. The only thing made me feel a bit better was at that moment I was the one enjoying the beautiful Sunday morning, not him. I smiled and walked away leaving him alone with the dreams he might be having.

    What a epic song! Lately, I have been addicted to a song named Star Sky by Two Steps From Hell. Its melody is so charming that I can't get rid of playing it again and again. It was last Sunday morning. I was on my room, enjoying my weekend with a cup of coffee, and surfing the Internet. Just by chance, I found a short video on Youtube about a Middle-earth battle near the Lonely Mountain, known as the Battle of Five Armies, in which the Dwarves, Elves and the Men of Dale against the Orcs and Wargs. When the video was first played, immediately I was absorbed by its background music - what a beautiful melody! The song made my day and I kept listening to it the whole morning. I don't know what the song is really about, but listening to the song, especially the chorus, makes me think of a warrior who is being torn between his honor to serve his King, his Lands and the true love of his life - something reminds me of Within Temptation with Hand of Sorrow. Looking at his own reflection in the mirror, he (the "I" in the lyrics?) wants to escape from being the man (the "you" in the lyrics?) of love and care, however it seems impossible as that man is a part of him, and his heart is torn apart. "...Burn the page for me I cannot erase the time of sleep I cannot be loved so set me free I cannot deliver your love or caress your soul so turn that page for me I cannot embrace the touch that you give I cannot find solace in your words I cannot deliver you your love and caress your soul..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEItiv4DCm8&feature=share

    Bụi? Cây? Blackberry Bush

    Tại nơi việc mình, có rất nhiều bụi cây blackberry ở xung quanh hàng rào. Cây blackberry được cao lên 3 mét, và những gốc có thể dài lên 3 mét. Gốc của cây blackberry có gai nhọn có thể cắt xuyên qua quần áo cách dễ (..sharp thorns can cut through clothes very easily). Mình chắc chắn không muốn bất ngờ bị ngả vào cây blackberry. Điều đó sẽ đau lắm, và mình sẽ bị xước nhỏ nhiều.

    Hai tháng trước, những cây blackberry bất đầu mọc lên mọng blackberries. Khi mình chọn những quả mọng để ăn bằng cách cẩn thận, mình nghĩ về nhân viên làm chọn (picking) tất cả mỗi quả mọng có phải mặc găng tay dày để bảo vệ chống xước. Tuy nhiên, mình đọc một chút về cây blackberry rồi đọc có loại blackberry không có gai đâu. Nhưng, mình tưởng tượng nó vẫn là việc làm đủ khó khăn.

    I saw that all of your friends' corrections are superb. I just modified your note in my way, hoping it may be helpful :))


    NHỮNG BỤI CÂY MÂM XÔI ĐEN


    Gần chỗ tôi/mình (mình is more friendly personal pronoun to address yourself) làm việc có rất nhiều bụi cây mâm xôi đen mọc xung quanh hàng rào. Cây mâm xôi đen có thể cao lên được tới 3 mét, và những chiếc gai nhọn của nó có thể “dễ dàng đâm xuyên qua quần áo” (~ to cut through clothes very easily). Tôi chắc chắn không muốn bất ngờ bị ngã vào một bụi (cây) mâm xôi (đen) vì sẽ rất đau, và tôi sẽ bị nhiều vết xước.


    Hai tháng trước, những cây mâm xôi đen bắt đầu cho ra/mọc ra/mọc những quả mâm xôi mọng nước (berry ~ một loại quả mọng nước) – NOTE: In Vietnamese, the sentence “cây mâm xôi mọc ra những quả mâm xôi” and the likes sometimes sound a bit naïve, to prevent that, we usually add an adjective as the modifier to make up for the sentence, and it becomes “cây mâm xôi mọc ra những quả mâm xôi chín mọng”. Khi tôi cẩn thận chọn/bứt/hái (~ pick up) những quả mâm xôi một cách rất cẩn thận, tôi nghĩ đến những người hái mâm xôi, họ chắc phải có/đeo/mang những chiếc găng tay dày để tránh bị xước tay – NOTE: đeo/mang + giầy (shoes), tất (socks), găng tay (gloves), cà vạt (cravat/tie), kính (glasses) | mặc + quần bò (jeans), quần âu (pants), áo sơ mi (shirt), áo phông (T-shirt),… | đội + mũ (hat) | quàng + khăn (scarf). Tuy nhiên tôi đã đọc một chút về cây mâm xôi đen và biết được rằng có một số loại mâm xôi đen không hề có gai. Nhưng dù sao tôi vẫn nghĩ đó là một công việc khá khó khăn.


    Also, I translated your piece of writing into English (https://www.italki.com/entry/721791). Could you take a look at my work and make some corrections? Thanks :))

    BLACKBERRY BUSHES (Translated from Kevin’s note: https://www.italki.com/notebook/2457447/entry/721531) Near my office, there are many blackberry bushes around the fence. A Blackberry trunk can grow up to 3 meters high, and its sharp thorns can cut through clothes very easily. Definitely I don’t want to suddenly be fallen into/onto/on/in (?) a blackberry bush. It will hurt, and I will get many small scratches on my skin. Two months ago, blackberry bushes started bursting into/growing blackberries. When careful to pick up berries to eat, I think/thought (which tense?) about people who pick up berries as a job, they should have/wear “a pair of thick gloves” (correct and natural?) to prevent from being scratched by the thorns. However, I read a bit about blackberry tree, and then I knew/know (again which tense?) there are (could I use “there were” instead?) some varieties of blackberry not having thorns. Anyway, I would imagine that it’s still such a difficult thing to do.

    Thành

    Tối hôm qua tớ viết về chủ đề trăng tròn và những câu chuyện liên quan với tới/đến nó.

     - A liên quan tới/đến B ~ A is related to B

    Các sự sửa chữa đã dạy cho tớ một từ mới.

     - It's correct but a bit weird. The more natural expression could be "Tớ đã học được một từ mới từ các/những (những is the better choice) sự sửa chữa" or even better "Tớ đã học được một từ mới từ những sự sửa chữa của các bạn."

      NOTE: In most cases, các and những can be interchanged. However, in some certain situations they can't play the same role, for example, I say  "các bạn của tôi rất tốt" NOT "những bạn của tôi rất tốt" to express that my friends are very kind.

    Từ đó là Thành. Tớ viết một câu dụng sử dụng/với nó: Tớ muốn đối biến đổi/biến biển thành con chim gõ kiến rồi bay ở trên/bay qua(bay qua is better in this case) những cảnh Việt Nam đẹp những cảnh đẹp của Việt Nam (~ scenery of/in Vietnam) như Sapa và sa mạc Mũi Né.

    Trước đây tớ chỉ biết dùng từ Thành liên quan với cắt/gọt rau và trái cây. Ví dụ: Cắt/gọt những ca rót những qủa cà rốt thành nửa (the alternative way to say it is "Cắt đôi những qủa cà rốt").

      NOTE: A trở thành/biến thành (intransitive) B ~ A becomes B/A changes/turns into B

                    A biến/biến đổi (transitive) B thành C ~ A change B to C

    Không liên quan, tớ đã mua online một cuốn tiểu thuyết trên smartphone. Tớ đang đọc nó nhưng tiếc là cuốn sách đó không có dấu! Từ 'tới' hay 'với' không có dấu sắc, và một số từ không có đấu nặng. Nó làm tớ thấy khá phiền phức.


    Tớ có câu hỏi này: Làm sao nói 'They are missing' trong tiếng Việt? Ví dụ: Một số dấu bị mất. ? Some tone marks are missing ==> Answer: Quyển sách có một số chỗ bị in thiếu dấu ~ Quyển sách có một số lỗi in ấn ~ A book with some tone marks missing.

    Hope it help :)) Please correct my English too.
