    hiring fairs
    Also called statute, or mop fairs, the ultimate origin of the hiring fair dates from the time of Edward III, with his attempt to regulate the labour market at a time of acute national shortage. Successive legislation (in particular the Statute of Apprentices of 1563) provided for a particular day when the high constables of the shire would proclaim the stipulated rates of pay and conditions of employment for the coming year. As so many people, employers and employees alike, gathered at this event, it quickly turned into the major place for matching workers and bosses. Even when rates and conditions were no longer officially set, the hiring fair was too useful an institution to be allowed to lapse, especially as much employment in rural areas was by the year. Prospective employees would gather in the street or square, often with some sort of badge or tool to denote their speciality—and employers would look them over and, if all was well, strike a bargain for the coming year, handing over a shilling (variously called earnest money, fest, God's penny, arles) to seal it. Obviously, such gatherings attracted all the other trappings and attractions of a real fair, and they turned into major festivals in their own right, and also attracted condemnation for the drunkenness and immorality involved. In some places, a few weeks after the hiring fair, there would be a smaller gathering or ‘runaway mop’ to sort out any anomalies. Hiring fairs continued in some places well into the 20th century, and even up to the Second World War (Murfin, 1990: 47-8).
    A mutual fund is a professionally-managed form of collective investments that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities.
    A résumé, also known as a curriculum vitae (CV), is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job experience and education, usually for the purpose of obtaining an interview when seeking employment. Often the résumé or CV is the first item that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker, and therefore a large amount of importance is often ascribed to it.

    Tớ ở Mỹ mà đọc chẳng hiểu gì hết! Theo tớ biết:

    hiring fair: "Hội kiếm việc làm" - ở bên này cũng kêu là "Job Fair" - những đại diện từ nhiều công ty lớn tổ chức một cuộc hội, mỗi công ty một gian hàng để phân phát tin tức về công ty mình, mục đích là tìm kiếm những người đủ điều kiện để làm nhân viên. Còn những người đang kiếm việc làm mới trong vùng đó đến dự hội để tìm những công ty đang mướn người. Đại khái vậy thôi...

    mutual fund: ngân khoản đầu tư chung của nhiều người đầu tư vào thị trường (nói tổng quát thôi)

    résumé là re zơ may đấy... em đâu khùng mấy... đánh vần thế thì phát âm cũng đúng đúng chứ muốn gì nữa
    lol

    be up to: to be busy or occupied with (an activity etc)

    ý là dạo này bận bịu gì không? Có chuyện gì lạ không?

    Lately nếu dịch xát nghĩa thì phải là "gần đây" (thời gian) nhưng dạo này nghe xuôi tai hơn.

    -what are you up to lately?
    Isn't it in this sentence , "up to" means "going to" or "planning to"? if so ==> "Dạo này bạn kế hoạch gì " hoặc "dạo này bạn sẽ(đang) làm gì"?
    Thất bại lớn nhất của đời người là tự đại
    Đáng thương nhất của đời người là tự ti.
    Tự đại + Tự ti = thất bại đáng thương nhất

    No.

    To be up to means to be busy or occupied with (an activity). Source: www.dictionary.com

    It does not mean the future. In addtion to that, the word lately implies recently, not tomorrow, but today, now.

    Some of the answer you may hear for the question "What are you up to lately?"

    - I've been busy with my ....(activities) tôi đã bận làm....

    - I'm taking class at UCLA. Tôi đang học ở UCLA.

    - I got rid of my girl friend. Tôi đá đít con bồ nhí rồi.

    The first two answers may mean the activity will continue, but the last answer means end of the activity (having a girl friend).

    But one usually does not answer : I plan to go back to VN next year.

    Maybe like this: I got rid of my wife, so I plan to go back to VN looking for a new one. . But the main answer is "I got rid of my wife".
