Hi hi, you are right, it's just for fun. There may be no problem with the intention. I just only think that we or anyone else should be more careful with something that can affect others, especially as sensitive as racism..

The subconcious is pretty...stupid. It can't tell between good or bad things, funny or serious things. If something is repeated a sufficient number of times, it can cause some kind of "stereotype". You know what I mean? For example, we Vietnamese usually call Chinese people "dog" and that is now accepted widely. Just imagine that other peoples in the world have the same perception of us? It is like a scar; once formed, never disappear.
The victims of the pranks could bring their "knowledge" on Vietnamese people back to their countries, and "confirmed" by other incidents like Vietnamese hackers or bad social and public awareness of Vietnamese residents.
I hope that the "so called" Vietnamese rascal's prank would not go viral like Bieber's Videos

Seriously. But anyway, thank you for letting me know about this clip.

Don't Be Serious.....:">:">:">

i never call chinese people "dog". They are human, just like us.

i have a chinese friend, he's pretty good.

The conversation between a vietnamese and a chinese.

Because of this video we, abroad students, are often laughed at. Some European and African fellas at my school keep saying "Some bo di" in front of our face.

This is not funny at all.

You should read the english version because I think it will explains things better than the Vietnamese version of the book. Don't worry, as long as you can read, there will be no problems understanding that book. Pick one, read it carefully, do the exercise and review it often, you will be very good at english

I think you can get a 9 in the University Entrance Exam if you practice often

ok. Thanks for your advice. I will get it as soon as possible

Nice to meet you.

Use sticker notes, they are a powerful tool to make you remember things.
Unlike numbers, dates, physics formulas which can be learned using such methods as Phenomenal Memory, grammar rules can't be learned in that way. You can only learn it by using it regularly. The more you use them, the harder to forget them

My intention is that I will spend one or two week(s) for prepairation and then take the test. Can you guys suggest me a book that I can revise my Grammar and prepair for the test please? Also how many hours a day should I spend learning?

Thanks you guys in advance.
