Sorry friends ...
Hallo Jo&friends........!!!
First of all, I would like to say sorry that I am too busy to blog everyday. I have been too busy at work recently, at the end of the day, I feel so exhausted and I can't concentrate on blogging. I am getting sick at the moment... Headache...
Jo, sorry that I haven't finished your task of Cockney Rhyming Slang yet, and I am doing it right now. And sorry again because you are right, I don't have much time to concentrate on blogging so... I know I have made a lot of mistakes... And I will try to be careful in using tenses in the future. Thank you so much for your advice.
Let's give myself a go... I will correct the tenses for some of the sentences you found in my last blog:
1) It was very sunny all day so I just stayed at home and _slept_.
2) Tourism in Vietnam _is developing_ more and more.
3) But I hope that I _have just shown_ you an overview of my beautiful country.
Well, I don't know whether they are correct or not because my loaf of bread is not working now :))
And now, my second task is to rewrite Jo's story... I must say that Cockney Rhyming Slang is so difficult for foreigners like us... But I will try to study them to make my English more professional ^_^
And now is the story which has been rewritten:
I rushed down the STAIRS(apples and pears). The dog and bone was ringing.
‘Hello?’ I asked.
‘Where are you, you idiot?’
It was the WIFE (trouble and strife).
‘You were supposed to be at the church an hour ago!’
I’d forgotten about the wedding! Oops!
‘I don’t BELIEVE (Adam and Eve) it! For God’s sake, can’t you use your HEAD (loaf) for once? Put your SUIT (whistle and flute) on and get here straight away!’
Haha, I find these Cockney Rhyming Slang words so interesting, I will try to use it more often...
Jo, your village is so beautiful, I wish I had a chance to go there one day and visit you :)
Now some minutes to answer your comments:
Ana Paula: Thank you for reading my blog very often... Wish you a nice day!
Kürşad KÜLTÜR: Thank you, please come and visit Vietnam one day!
Sarah: We have four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. And Vietnam has the tropical climate... Welcome you to Vietnam:)

Hello Ha,I'm sorry to hear that you are so busy with your work. And I hope you had a great weekend and had a good rest, because after a busy week day, you deserve a good rest. Thanks for your invitation to visiting your beautiful country. I Adam and Eve that I will pay a visit to that amazing place in a few years. Can you speak a little Chinese? What will you learn in Beijing? If I saw you on the street in Beijing, I will not hesitate to say 'hello' to you. I'm really looking forward to it.
I see that you are too busy to blog.I think I would help you to answer Enesto's question from Arica Chile. Enesto,you believed all the educated Vietnamese ,like Ha ,can speak French for Vietnam was under the French rule. I tell a bit about Vietnamese language: Vietnam has had its own language for more than 4000 years ago.Under the Chinese rule, we had to use Chinese characters. Around the 13th century,we devised our own characters and called it "chu Nom". It looks like the Chine characters but only vietnamese could read it. Because my ancestors have independent spirit.Both writting systems were uesed simultaneously until the 20th century. Official business and scholarship were conducted in Chinese characters ( Vietnamese called it "chu Han")while "chu nom"was used for popular literature. In the 17th century, a French Jesuit scholar first used alphabet letters to write Vietnames language.the missionary first preached and wrote the Bible in vietnamese language.This new Roman-based writting system is easy to learn than the old system so it's accepted widely. During the French colonial time,the French taught French language for their indigeous administration.Vietnam had two education system.One used French, other used vietnames.Being vietnames, we always think using the colonialists'language isnot a patriot action so nowaday very little vienamese can speak French. That is why, you can see,the Roman-based scripts of Vietnam is unique among the other Asian countries' scripts. With my explain, i hope all of you,the BBC learning english bloggers and why very little vietname can speak French although this country used to be a French colony.thanks for reading it.
