Our daily discussion. A place to practise your speaking English!

[Cute_cute_baby]

Helu, I'm quite a newbie in this forum but also an oldie with the average age you guys here
Learning English is really important today but it's not that easy, especially to have a strong command in English. I hope this will be a helpful place for you to practise your English yet a pleasure place to say what you want to say.
So the point is, I think there's so many things happen in your daily life and we can discuss them friendly in public just really helpful to improve our English, so speak it up! Any problems, you're welcome!
By the way, if there's any mistakes in grammar or vocabulary, tell each other and we grow together, ok?
Hope you guys are interested in this!

Ok, so let me open it first , so here we go!
My problem is, nowadays, ppl are so open-minded in relationship. I mean they don't have a serious prejudice with love as much as in the past. But what I want to say is I haven't found it more easier to start a love with younger partner, seriously, well, I have a crush on a younger boy, LOLz, but still found it really hard!
Somebody can share with me your thought?

[nguyendieuhuong]

OK. What a pity! Nobody wants to say something. This topic, I don't like very much
But I can give you some advise: 'Never give up and always stay with your heart'
Wish you happy

Sorry if i call u a b-i-o-t-ch but ur post really proves that , imo it just a piece of crap with no developin idea 4 the topic. The author open this not for s.h.i.t talk but a serious affair Im gonna bring it on so if anyone wants to react my negative post, PEACE! I like debate lmao

Back to the main point, I open 2nd

cute_cute_baby: hm ss I think the prob is easy: if u want to chase someone, go for it nobody can obstruct that but remember one thing young boys love to have fun (haha jk)

[lonely rockie]

no one wanna chat in dis 4rum in E
it's a pity !!
maybe all most of you wanna spam and get da money to go shopping
just boring

@ Minh Phan : i've already read the Vietduc 2pic on VA
but it seems too few VDers wanna share their experience, huh ?
and wat about your project about VD Skul profile ?
Can i join it ?

[Whats_left_of_me]

the profile 's not like a project, it just a profile with over 3 pages lol i made it to give adcom a brief introduction about our school. Most VN students in application pool re from LHP, Ams blah blah so actually someone from unknown places has to stand out ( maybe not unknown coz there was someone applyin' from my school lmao). Afterwards, if 3 or 4 classes all get admitted , then we didnt have to do that anymore.
hm, its been a long time since i met sis Hien in this board, she s a mod of this box and she got admitted to some schools in US if im not mistaken, maybe she owned valuable experiences for us

[kool_boy92]

I want to take part in this topic !! I think, if u like him so much, just go 4 it, nothin' to be scared of, okay?!?!

[Cute_cute_baby]

Yo man! (sounds like a crazy school gal, rite? ok j/k)
Long time no words, but my problem is I dont know clearly 'bout his attitude, lolz, he still acts nice to me and we treat each other as friends you know, sometimes feel like he's got smt special to me, sometimes feel like kidding, man, so confused!
But he's been back to the Uk and I feel alrite to stay this way. Need time to prove smt real

Ok, seems like we gonna have to wear the protecting hats when driving a motorbike on streets, rite? (man, I dont know exactly wat da hell it called in E ) But I really hate this idea, so inconvenient!

Well, it's not quite all about the outlook problem but you know, the climate in vietnam and the traffic in vietnam is not totally suitable and yet also the narrow streets in Hanoi, too. Just imagine ppl wearing them on roads (even when they ARE very helpful to protect yourself's life) look like a line of robots, you know, I just imagine, and sorry if you find this thought as a superficial thought though
Totally I hate this new rule T_____T
May I ask mom to buy me a bicycle instead of my vehycle now?
Dont go and tell me that they force us to wear protecting hats for bicycles, too just kidding

Wish yas a good day!

@ cute_cute_baby :
I just think there is nothing to stop you loving him or at least , you can step one more step in your relationship ...
Don't think about absurd things , sis !!!
You can love him if you really do ...
What 's up when you're older than he ???
NOTHING !!!
So ... go ahead , sis !!!
He went back to UK , you two can still contact to each others ... !!!
Keep this relationship ... and why not stepping one , two or more steps ???
... ...
By the way , Thank you very much for setting up this topic ...
I love it ...
Don't care about some STUPID words from DAMN people ...
Keep this topic activating , okay sis !!!

Back to the main purpose of this topic ...
The problem I just figured out is : writing in English on this forum is so ANNOYING ... sometimes I had to write a word again and again ...
Someone knows how to write it easier ???

Oh wow, I nearly gave up this topic since not many people joined with me.
Anyway, thanks for your supports, what you said really encouraged me.
About my *relationship* thingy, I gave it a rest. I don't know whether what I'm doing is right or wrong but I know it makes me feel better.
I said I gave it a rest 'coz I disconnected to him, no contacts at all (for nearly 4 months) since I found it stressful to try so hard to pretend.
I realized I'd changed pretty much to be perfect. But the more I tried, the more crappy I became and not-so-like-me
I don't like it and sure neither does he.
I know he likes me, as a friend (pretty sure) for the way I am and who I am. But about his sentiment, or more exactly, his love, then I totally still have no idea. I think it's a "no".
But that's ok now. Seems like I moved on
As I said above, I don't know what I'm doing is right or wrong is just because what I'm doing is absolutely ruining our friendship.
I didn't want to keep connected to him since I tried to get him off my mind. So it takes time to do this, my life'd better not revolve around him so much. So disconnecting is a choice. I hope he understands it and gives me time. Then if it's ok, we can get back and be normal later. I really want to say a "sorry" to him for my decision.
Anyway, he tried to contact me a few times. All I do is just stay silent
He's a good man, anyway. I just don't want him to treat me so nicely, it just hurts me

Sounds like I just focus on my own's issue and 've been crapping too much (you guys must be yawning)
Sorry

Switch to other topic, does any of you guys know there's a library with many materials for studying English available in Hanoi for free?
Then let me tell you, there is! It's pretty great with many books for you to improve your English, besides they've also got plenty of TOEFL, SAT, GRE, GMAT books and school informations as well (if you guys are intending to go to colleges in the US). The membership is for free. You just bring your ID cards or student cards to the office and they will make member cards for you in a few minutes. That's easy, hah?
Oh, I nearly forgot to tell ya where it is
It's the library of IIE (Institute of International Education) at C9 Giang Vo. IIE office and library is at the same place.
Just want to share with you (in case you guys don't know). Hope that the sharing is helpful for your study

[jerry_le]

I didn't realize that there was a new post in this topic ...
Sorry for making you wait so long sis ...
SORRY !!!

Maybe you don't want to hear this , but now , recent days , I want to talk about LOVE I don't know why , just my interest ...
Ahh , don't forget him sis , because he's a nice guy , I meant He's a very good guy , right ???
So , what you should do now is just forget about liking him , if you think it's ruining your friendship ...
Keep contacting him , sis !!!
If you don't answer , He might think that you don't wanna talk to him anymore , so it really ruin your friendship ...
So .. please answer him , even just one time in a long time ...
Keep a friend , especially such a good guy ...
Look forward for your happy ending !!!

About the library in Hanoi ...
It can't help me , because I'm so far away
But I'm sure it can help everyone who is still in Hanoi ...
Absolutely !!!

About my problem ,
I don't know how to turn off the Vietnamese typing mode ...

[Cute_cute_baby]

What you said is not wrong, but I can't make myself pretend and especially when he DOES know that I have a crush on him, man, it's tearing up me T.T
As I said, he's a good man, he tries to keep me as a friend. Not like many others, who can turn away and hang a girl out to dry if they have no interest in her, neither want to keep her when their friendship is not deep and strong enough, I can say.
We made friends like in just more than 1 week, yes I'm saying, 1 week. I met him when we were working together for Apec (as volunteers), we had so much fun and memorable time together.
It would have been more easier for me if he hadn't left that much impression on me. He's the first one who gave me an idea of a gentle man, lolz
We kept contacts and about 1 month later he left for the UK. Before he left, we made a mark which strengthened the friendship, more than a shallow social relationship but yet not that deep at all.
So what can I say? He's someone who stole my attention at the first moment we met, damn!
The time he was in the UK we still kept contacts but you know, out of sight is out of mind, there's absolutely no plus added to build up the relationship since it's meant to be just a friendship. We met each others again last summer, but he quite turned me off. I was a little disappointed by what I'd expected never came.
I'm just trying to NOT like him any more, yeah you were right, I don't want to lose a friend like him, truly. Though it's gonna hurt when it heals, too, right?
But come on, I'm moving on and sure to make things better, I won't kill what I made to make us friends
Hope that he'll understand. He's cool enough to forget it, I suppose

About the library: yeah, I know it's helpless to you, but helpful for the others who haven't known it yet
Yet the last thing is, I'm kinda low-tech so I don't know how to turn off the mode, too

P.S: I don't know what made me talk too much about my issue but it was comfortable to talk to you, hope you won't laugh at me.

[jerry_le]

Ahhh..........
What are you talking about , sis ???
I will laugh at you ??? For what ???
Your business is not funny , is it ???
I think It is not ...
So , of course there is no reason for me to laugh at you ...
My pleasure for me to share with you ...

Anyway , Out Of Sight Out Of Mind ...
Yeah , so why don't you two give each others your photos huh ???
And then it is not "Out Of Sight " anymore ...
And then there will never be "Out Of Mind " ....
Good idea , isn't is ???

1 week can tell more than we think ...
If you think it is gonna ruin your friendship , let it go ... !!!
You said he turned you off last summer ... maybe then he didn't wanna do something too much that can upset you ... he was scared like you now ... so ...
Maybe , I guess ...

It's gonna hurt when it heals ... ???
I have no idea ...
Do your best sis ...
He will understand , if he is really such a cool guy ... !!!

Glad to see you feel much better now ...
Look forward to listen to your good new ...

[Cute_cute_baby]

hey hey, hold on!
I said I'm trying NOT to love him anymore, then I do REALLY want to. Imagining I'm with him gives me a nerve and I don't know why it makes me feel uncomfortable, I just don't know why is that though
And "he turned me off last summer" doesn't mean he brought me down by saying or doing any thing wrong, the appointment was nice, but I was turned off because there was no steps further as I had expected, I meant.
About the "out of sight out of mind", if you were in my shoes then you'd understand, the "sharing pictures" doesn't help much!
It's not about you can see each other, it's not about the presence of him/her, it's about how you feel and how that one makes you feel!
When some one you love is near you and exists in front of you, being with you and sharing with you or making your emotion move , then you absolutely fall into him/her deeper and deeper. But when him/her no longer be here, doesn't make you feel anything more, then the sentiment is just fading away even when you don't mean to or don't want to. That's how I feel right now.
Plus, it's also not about the faith or how long your love for him lasts, because it keeps running dry. Let me tell you, whenever I recall the memories we had, I still feel the same feeling for him.
Ding! That's why LOVE is absolutely ultimately about "how you feel" not "what you see" like at the first time.

Hah ... you thought about stepping further huh ???
Just kidding ...
yeah you're right , how you feel , not what you see ...
Friend is okay , sometimes friend can do more than lover can ...
Friend huh ... !!!
It's still good ...

I think I shouldn't talk about this anymore , it can make you feel annoyed ...

Why don't we talk about another topic huh ???

Ahhh ... what's your favorite number , sis ???

[Cute_cute_baby]

OH, sorry guy, I was so busy that I couldn't go here. (My project sucked me up, but thank God now it's over).
...
ah, uh... about my lucky number?
I love number 6 I think it's probably my lucky number (though I don't know whether it's brought me any luck yet )
But why did you ask that? Is there any meaning behind it?

oh, by the way, I need some help! DO you know how to delete an old post? (I want to delete a post, which I posted on this forum a long time ago and when I came back here, read it and really really wanted to delete it but... well, there's no option for me)
help help help, plz, thanks in advance <3
