    Waste treatment is one of the biggest social problem in Vietnam

    I would appreciate if you help me to revise the passage below.
    ---

    In Vietnam, one of the biggest social problems is garbage disposal. Since the technology is not developed enough, most of the garbage is reclaimed at a landfill without any treatment. Sorting of garbage is also not common. All types of waste from households are put into the same plastic bag without any sorting. In the area near the landfill, many people are suffering from the odor from the landfill. I hope these problems are solved in the near future by further development of the technology.

    The first two are fine, the last one is awkward, "during" would be a better choice there. so: "Maybe those people were the ones participating in the training in mainland China during the past few years.

    Yes, that is perfectly legal. It's covered under "fair use" law.

    "Are you gonna come tomorrow" sounds a bit immature to me, normally you would just say 'Are you coming tomorrow?," or "You coming tomorrow?" "I wanna sleep" is fine "You scared the hell outta me" is fine "I'mma ask you a question. You love her don't you." Sounds really strange. I'm not sure in what you context you would be sending this as a text, but my instincts tell me you are probably trying to say something more along the lines of "Can I ask you a question?" and if they reply "Yes," then you would say "You love her don't you?" A good rule of thumb with slang is that it should mainly be used in light, casual conversation. If you're trying to have a serious discussion with someone, it's probably best to use more grammatically correct English.

    Exactly how you wrote it is fine. The only thing I would add is in the United States, a billiard table is often called a "pool table," so you could say "There's a pool table and a foosball table in the room."

    I'm fairly certain this is a reference to a phrase a father would say to someone who is going to take his daughter out on a date, in which case the phrase means "Don't drink alcohol when you're with my daughter, don't do any drugs when you're with my daughter, and don't touch my daughter (no hands)."

    It's pronounced both ways honestly, pronouncing "until" is correct, but people are lazy. What makes it worse is that there is a word "till" in English that has a few different meanings, it can be a noun for a cash register machine "She put the money in the till," or it can be a verb meaning to cultivate land for growing crops, as in "He tilled the soil with a plow." But unless someone is talking about farming or cash registers, I would go ahead and assume whenever you hear "till" they mean to say "until" :)

     Use of Hyphen’s (“-”) is complicated, but for adjectives, a good general rule to follow to use a hypen if you are combining two or more words that come before a noun into a single idea that will be used to refer to the noun. For example.

    Finely-tuned machine
    Part-time worker
    Cold-blooded killer

    It’s a good idea to use a hyphen if you’re worried about your meaning being misunderstood. For example, if I say:

    “John gave me his little used golf clubs.” - This sentence can be confusing, because it could mean either John gave me used golf clubs that are little, or John gave me golf clubs that have been little used.

    So in this case, we can fix this problem by writing “John gave me his little-used golf clubs,” which links little and used and makes the meaning clear.

    No, the term “rain check” by definition implies that the date is unknown. The term actually derives from outdoor event ticket sales. If, for example, you paid for a ticket to a baseball game, but on the day of the game it rained and they were unable to play, you would be given a “rain check,” which would let you go to a different game on some unspecified future date.
