Trungleha, I have the Barron SAT II: Writing book, if you are in Hanoi and interested, just contact me to get a "photocopy" version. My number is 852-59-78. My name is La^n ( I'm a male, thought ). I gonna take SAT II this Sartuday, and I feel unready, too. Since there is no preparetion course for Writing, I'm very afraid about writing. It is bad already.

Topic: In an address to Congress in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, describing his vision for the world's future, said: "... we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression... The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way....The third is freedom from want...The fourth is freedom from fear." If you have the chance to add a fifth freedom to this list, what would it be? Feel free to invent a new freedom or to choose one that already exists in the Bill of Rights or elsewhere. Please explain the reasons for your choice. Looking for happiness is the natural tendancy of each member in society. If I had chance to add a fifth freedom to this list, I would choose the freedom of each person looking for his own happiness. Firstly, each person is a member of the society. If one person tried looking for his happiness, and got it, the others would follow him. It encourages people to make themselves stronger and happier. It leads to the result that the society will be stronger and happier. Secondly, humanbeing was born not to work, work and work. They have right to enjoy the life, to find the happiness. One of the obvious example is Vietnamese society twenty years ago. People work with fixed salary, no matter how dilligent they are, and they can never be a rich man. It results in people's laziness. Workers went to factories just for chatting. Because of that wrong policy, Vietnam became one of the poorest countries in the world. Looking for happiness is a natural and neccessary freedom of human being. That's why I would like to add it in the Bill of Rights as the fifth freedom.

Right now I need some thing about application essay as well as writing in genaral. A good collection of famous books is good, too ( such as Asimov's books )

Hi TrungLeHa, why do you recommend people using the Princeton Review? I'm using Barron and I see that it's very similar to Kaplan one. Can you tell me in details about the advances of Priceton to the others like Cliff, Barron, Cambridge...?

I almost have no idea about the SAT books. But I strongly recommend you using the 10 Real Sats from CollegeBoard. It's never a good strategy book, but the best resource for practicing. Right now I'm using the Barron one, and I satisfy with it. Until now I'm not only using the Barron, but also trying to read as much as possible articles about Scientific topic, and it's the absolutely preferential way to improve the score to me. I have a good website to practice Reading, but the articles are a litle bit easier than the SAT reading part. http://www.scientificamerica.com Have fun.

Hi, We are forming a group to learn TOEFL with Mr Manh. We welcome anyone who are living in Hanoi to join us. At the moment, we have approximately 15 members. This amount is enough for Mr Manh's class but the problem is, only some of them have Application Form ( the request of MR Manh ). We think, beside practicing with Testmagic's material, we should have more intensive study, and Mr Manh offers us those things. So If you want to join us, just e-mail me: onggiavabienca@hotmail.com. If you don't know who Mr Manh is, go to EnglishClub at the website http://www.ttvnol.com to find out. Thank you for your attention.

Everybody, I think the best book for reading comprehension ( include vocabulary ) is the Microsoft Encarta . I'm using this software and my vocabulary improves impressed . I want to share this experience to you . Hope that helps .

Yes, I think it's my question this time . Erin, I've written some essays, and my teacher said thay I wrote as I was a salesman . And I wonder . I know about the length, yet what is the purpose of a essay ? Is it completely formal form ? Can't I have some funny ideas ? And the feelings after you read a extremely good essay ? Can you answear my questions as deep as possible ? Love

No, I'm now in Singapore, so I asked that question to know surely about everything in order to have a easy and suitable time taking TOEFL . My decision coming back Vietnam is not stable if I dont have clearly information . Thank for respond me . Love

I decided to take Toefl CBT, but I dont know much about this type . I heard that I can take TOEFL CBT every month in any Toefl centre, is it right, Erin ? I already went to ETS website, but I cant find any information about Toefl CBT date and centre . Can you answear me as soon as possible, Erin . I'm very busy these days and be confuse to make a Toefl plan . Thank you . Love

Erin, I still have questions for you . When I'm reading and see a new words, after read its meaning in dictionary, what is the best things should I do next ? Write that words some times in a piece of paper or keep reading ? Anything else should I do ? Love

Dear Erin . Follow your advice, I'm trying to read some exciting books instead of using words building books . I'm using MacMillan English Dictionary, and I want to know your opinion about this book . Is it good ? Or I should buy another one as Webster Dictionary ? And is it better for me to read an America writer instead of English writer ? Love

I'm having a look at this site, yet I think it's a good site to get free resource . Do you know any good place to pratice Toefl and Sat in Vietnam, expecially in Hanoi . ( I cant go to America now ) . Love

I went to ETS site, and they recommended some practice test kits . They said that these test have a bit more difficult than the real test . Can I trust this ? Love

I've just discovered this site today, and I decided to register immediately . This is a nice and friendly site . I have a question that I've wondered for a long time : I don't know which book can provide complete learning for TOEFL ( include vocabulary, grammar and so on ) . Can you give me some advice . Love
