I'm afraid that we do not have enough time for a good preparation…Uhmmmmm.

Anyway, backup plan for the usual discussion is ready…

Your English is clear. I've NEVER had any problems understanding your written or spoken English. :)

@ Mr Hoa: Do you still in the stuck situation? Why don't we have some private conversations between contributing men in HYEC. Hopefully there will be an interesting night in Hyec tomorrow.

All for half of the world….!

Uyen, just keep up your writing..?Though you still have to pay more attention to your grammatical structures, I realise that you've had a considerable improvement in your writing skill ( of course, compared with yours previously)..

Regarding the topic, I'm still thinking of what we're gonna do then….It seems like I'm getting stuck here..:((…

Don't worry…If we can not have something special, we're still able to make it impressive…:D

You do need to enhance your writing skill as well, honey :PP. I think you have have sort of problem in constructing sentences, especially when they come to long complicated ones. Many of them are grammatically incorrect or unclear to readers ( do you often think too literally in Vietnamese when you write English?).
That can make you sound inappropriate or misunderstood in conversations. :). Frankly, I am NOT even 100% sure if I got your idea by just reading your post.

For instance, you just wrote

" And discuss the next topic is like a small writing lesson…" => "To discuss / discussing the next topic is like…."
"…and they know their study, job need to write…" => "…though ( they know ) their jobs or studies require them ( to be able ) to write in English…"

By the way, in ( written ) English, we DON'T usually use the conjunction "AND" to start a ( new ) sentence/ paragraph but "additionally", "besides", "moreover", etc.

"Practice makes perfect". Im sure you can make it through a serious practice, dear.
Hope that helps.

Discussing the next topic is like a small writing lesson. I think some guys want to write something but have nothing to share (incl me :P)., and they know their jobs or studies require them to write in English So this is the chance for them to practise their English (incl me :D). In truth, it was so long time I haven't sharing my idea in English word like this, maybe I'm good at "Chém gió" … :D.

Btwn, it's the good chance to practice writing skill, thanks Bro. A big Hug for you! (Do you want a real once?)

Why don’t we choose a topic relating VWD, for example “What do girls expect through VWD from man around them?” or “ How would you feel if your man forget doing something’s special for you?” or something like that…

We might have a special greeting but I prefer to do as usual at the beginning and do the most attractive while our activities. When all girls in Hyec focus on the topic, all men here will come to be on front of their face, singing a funny song together and give each one rose or a small special gift from Hyecians. Hope it is more than sudden .

Then, we won’t debate as usual. We might have a comedy about something funny around love and friendship at the VWD. Try to act the funniest to make our girls laugh a lot.

Hope it that is a good memory in their (woman) mind…
Let's hold hands to celebrate this special day with your lady…

There're few days left till our coming activity, I think we'll probably have a usual discussion on the topic you have prepared. Perhaps, we can make it "more special" by a greeting at the beginning and by asking more girls to stand up and "raise their voices" than the normal days. BTW, is the topic gonna be 'bout women?

One more thing, if you guys (men) wanna buy us (women) some drinks or ice-creams then, you're more than welcome, absolutely !! :PPP

Just my 2cents
Thks for your kind attention. :D

This Sunday is 18/10/2009, that is there're just 2 days left for us to welcome one of the most important days of Vietnamese women.

I'm wondering whether we would have the topic for discussion as usual or we're gonna do something a bit special then.

Though I have prepared the topic for the Sunday already, I'm just thinking of what we could do to make the day more impressive and memorable than normal days.

Everyone is welcome to contribute your idea from now till this Sunday.
Do you have any games to play together? do you wanna sing a song? or whatever you think it's interesting for a small party.

If there's no suggestion from you, I'll keep the activity as we tend to do. I'll also post the topic here and then.

@Bro Tung: An extreme pity to hear that you have been sick for fever..Please take care of yourself and be better soon to come back with us…HYEC wishes all the best for you…

Pretentious (adj): trying to be sth that you are not, in order to impress.

• "Dress" is "váy dài liền thân" and "skirt" is the part from the waist down (Vietnamese call it "jupe" which is a French loanword for skirt). In this case, I guess that you want to say "skirt" instead of "dress"? Please double check with Wikipedia or Google Image Search whenever you're in doubt.
• A few other mistakes, but they're not showstoppers so it's ok.

…such kind of uniform is considered as a snobbery of Vietnamese pupils and students for style of foreign youths, …
…
… to create appropriate customs meeting the above requirements…

I don't know what you want to say, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be "snobbery" and "customs".

…for school girls’ uniforms are as follows:
…
2. Suitable for certain sex and age.

And I'm sure that the girls' gender is never in dispute! :-) Or you want to say the uniforms must look like they're not for boys?

On 16th June, Ministry of Education and Training (MoE&T) demonstrated a law draft concerning wearing uniforms of pupils and students, including school girls all over the country.
According to that, in summer, school girls have one of the following choices for their uniform:
1. Conventional Ao Dai.
2. White T-shirt and Trousers.
3. Skirts.

Some supporting for the law say:

Banning school girls from wearing skirts which are not long enough to cover the knees is necessary. It is good for them to enhance their discipline at school. According to them, moreover, such kind of uniform is considered as a snobbery of Vietnamese pupils and students for style of foreign youths, especially through some American, Korean or Japanese films…

However, some others against the law suppose:

School girls should be allowed to wear short skirts because long ones are not beautiful.Girls can not be dynamic and show up their lovely legs. Additionally, it’s absolutely normal in other countries…

Part I:

As you can see, above are just some of hundreds of different viewpoints for and against the law draft.
How about you? Let’s together discuss to share our thinking about this…

Part II:

Criteria given by MoE&T for school girls’ uniforms are as follows:

1. Beautiful.
2. Suitable for certain age.
3. Adaptable with various climate conditions.
4. Convenient for studying.
5. Economical.

HYEC’s members will now become fashion designers to create appropriate uniforms meeting the above requirements for school girls in order for the law soon to come into force. *_*
