GLOSSARY
A group of 20 students, including a film personality, has set up a Facebook page to pay tribute to teachers on Teacher’s Day, November 20.
A film personality is somebody who is famous because they have been in movies.

Led by Le Hoang Thach, 25, also Viet Nam marketing director of an international contest to make films within 48 hours, it has worked hard for a month to also create a photo album and videoclip to post on the page to solicit “thanks” from young people for their teachers.
A director is someone who is in charge of doing a job. Marketing is when you use things like advertising to make people want to buy something.
To create something means to make something from scratch.
A video clip is a short part of a longer video.
If you post something on a website page, you place it there so that others can see it.

“Thay co oi! Em cam on” (Dear teacher! Thank you) at https://www.facebook.com/ThayCoOi has got 44,000 ‘like’s’ from students who have also been exchanging and sharing memories of school besides saying thanks to their teachers.
An exchange is when you give something, and then you get something back.

An interview is when one person asks questions, and the other person answers them.
When something is touching, it makes people feel very sad or very happy.

A contest is another word for a competition.
Gratitude means to be thankful. When you express your gratitude, you show that you are thankful.
