Veronica: Guess what? I’m going to Hue City next week. 
Mi:  That’s great! Are you excited? 
Veronica: Very! You’ve been there, haven’t you? 
Mi:   Yes, I have. Three times, actually. It’s an amazing place. How are
you getting there? 
Veronica: My father suggests we should go by air.
Mi:   That’s too expensive! I suggest going by train. You can meet
people and see a lot of beautiful sights from the train. 
Veronica: That sounds better. And do you know any good places to stay in
Hue City? 
Mi:   I’d recommend the Romance Hotel. I can give you the address if
you like. 
Veronica: Great, thanks. What’s the best way to get around? 
Mi: It’s probably best to use rickshaws. It’s said that they’re quicker
and cheaper than taxis. 
Veronica: Hmm, that’s good to know. So what are the things we shouldn’t
miss – any good museums? 
Mi:   Er no, don’t bother going to the museums. There are much better
things to see there. You should definitely see the Royal Citadel. It’s
said that this complex of monuments is one of the wonders of Viet
Nam. In fact, it’s listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 
Veronica: Yes, that’s what I’ve heard. So what else is worth seeing?

- Khi chúng ở cuối câu.
Example: What are you playing at?
Mary is the person I’m looking for.
- Khi chúng được dung để nhấn mạnh hoặc tạo tương phản.
Example: This is the place to eat.
It’s not a solution, but the solution.
- Khi dung để trích dẫn.
Example: You shouldn’t put ‘and’’ at the end of the sentence.
