Xin cho biết phòng vệ sinh ở đâu. Làm ơn chở tôi đến nhà hàng/khách sạn/phi trường, xin lỗi, cám ơn, đừng ôm hôn khi chào
creating a glossary that includes culture-specific terms or expressions in Vietnamese and explanations in English, for example, tết Nguyên đán, tết Trung thu, lễ Vu lan, rằm tháng Giêng, chúc mừng năm mới, trăm năm hạnh phúc
producing a booklet of Vietnamese idioms and proverbs with equivalent expressions in English, for example, xa mặt cách lòng (‘Out of sight, out of mind’), có chí thì nên (‘Where there’s a will there’s a way’), Một giọt máu đào hơn ao nước lã (‘Blood is thicker than water’)
composing bilingual texts for specific audiences and purposes, for example, a Big Book or game for young Vietnamese learners, invitations to a class/social event or posters for a performance, a program for a cultural event, or a brochure about the school for a visiting group of exchange students, recognising that meanings need to be tailored to audience, purpose and cultural perspectives
