Right away, it's nearly 11:00 pm. I've just got through replying to a friend , the letter is quite long, so I it took a long time to write. She's Taiwanese, quite nice and very kind. She's extremly curious about Vietnamese culture, activity, attitude with foreigner.... She also wants to travel to Vietnam and have specialities. While I was writing, Tuan buzzed me, gave me a website and asked me to him some advice about choosing which model of shoes he should buy. I gave him my advice, and he had chosen.

I kept on writing into the day. A short while later, Huynh Anh said hi to me. I told her to wait a moment. Then, I continued my business. When I finished, she went off-line for a long time, hey.... sorry for this.

I tried to find someone to chat with, but no one was online. Today, my friend went back to his hometown. He was hoping to get some speciality from his hometown after his return. hehe.

Hmmm, let me remember whether there was any conversations which happened today to relate to you. Ah, Sea Games 24. This afternoon, after finishing the class, my friends and I went to a coffee shop to watch the football match between Vietnam and Malaysia. This match, the Vietnamese team played not very well although beating the Malaysian team. I was quite disappointed; were you ?

Well, I'm getting sleepy. Tomorrow is Sunday, and i wish everybody a beautiful weekend.

Goodnight

I am the son of two retired army soldiers. I have traveled to many wonderful places and met some great people along the way. While traveling I been all across Europe and United States; some of the place I have traveled are Germany, France, Italy, Washington, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and of course Georgia. The two places I enjoyed the most were Settle, Washington and Italy. The reason why I say Settle, Washington is because of the weather and I met some of my closes friends. The reason why I said Italy is because of the great food, such their pasta and bread. My father is a war hero; he has earned the Soldier medal along with the Purple Heart. Once he earned those medals he retried and became an Logistic Analyst. My mother is now a real estate agent.

While traveling I began to find out what my hobbies, which are playing basketball and football. I have been playing varsity basketball since the ninth grade. As I am getting older I found that basketball is my favorite of the two. With football this is my first year playing varsity. Iâve developed a passion for this sport. While playing these sports I really involved with my academics because my parents said it would help my chances of going to school. As I began doing well in school I began to receive awards which were âWhoâs Who Among American High School Studentsâ also two years straight with âThe National Honor Society of High Schoolâ and many others.

I am well involved in my community. I volunteer my free time at my church. I assist them with repairs and many other things; I am a youth leader. With me being a youth leader I help troubled youth find a good church home also have conversations and being available for them they if they ever need advise. I work the churchâs summer camp as a camp counselor. I have been a counselor at the camp for the past two summers. In this camp we take the kids across Atlanta to the in form them about the history of our great city.

As I get ready for my new transition to college life there are so things I would like to know about the school such as the sense of school sprit and a strong alumni. Also I want to know about your academics and your dentistry programs. As I graduate I would like to become an orthodontist because I have had the dream to be one since I was in the fifth grade; I have always had the desire to help people. My goals are to pursue a degree in pre-dentistry to include playing basketball foe the school.

You asked âwhy should I be chosen to receive this scholarship?â Well I believe I should be chosen is because I am a well diverse young man and well rounded. Also because you would be giving it to a hard work.

This is an odd excerpt. I'm wondering if more context would clarify the ideas better.

Thanks, Jim, for your advice.

The base sentence is part of the article "The Old College Try." It's a conversation/drama style of English, and it's for students' practice's sake. Therefore, it's difficult for me to cite more context, but I've posted most of its content in differents threads about Ken and the American football. I thought it was enough clues for you to figure out the "playing out" question, but obviously I was wrong.

Thank you everyone for your ideas.

How about 'turn'?
'He tried to turn the conversation away from the issue of football.'
Is this OK?

Also, perhaps:

He tried to deflect the conversation away from the issue of football
He tried to deviate/digress/diverge/(step aside) from the issue of football

I am looking for a verb.

Hello, everybody.
I am looking for a verb which works in the following sentence.

'He tried to VERB the conversation away from the issue of football, because the topic reminded him of his failure in a football match and made him feel guilty.'

What verb should be used in the VERB?
Please help me.

Re: preposition OF

CalifJim — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 08:03:33 GMT

of always has the 'v' sound at the end except in (typically faster) informal conversation, where the 'v' is sometimes dropped when the following word begins with a consonant, 'of' then being identical in sound to the word 'a'.

Help! Help! An alligator's got a hold of me! (a hold a me)
A friend of my sister's got a pony for Christmas. (a friend a my sister's)
That's the end of the story. (the end a the story)
A lot of the children already knew how to read. (a lot a the children)
He was the star of the show. (the star a the show)
Today's the start of football season. (start a football season)
She played the queen of spades. (queen a spades)

This form of of is sometimes written o' (but with the same pronunciation as the 'a's above) and has become a fixed part of a few words such as o'clock, jack-o'-lantern, will-o'-the-wisp, and man-o'-war.

This comment applies to American English.
