By Duc Minh, Phan
 
* Theo lời yêu cầu cuả một số phụ huynh và cuả chính các cháu nhỏ (không đọc rành chữ Việt) trong những gia đình quen biết là: thỉnh thoảng chúng tôi nên viết:  vài câu đố vui  bằng Anh Ngữ để các cháu có thêm thì giờ giải trí và hữu ích cho sự hiểu biết về nhiều lãnh vực trong đời sống xã hội .- P.Đ.M.
 
(This item is specially reserved for my little and young friends who can speak but can’t read the Vietnamese language easily. It’s also O.K. for other people who want to participate in voluntarily).

      A.- You were born or are living in the United States with or without U.S. citizenship; Do you remember : 

          -  The States whose names  (traditional English : the names of which) begin with the letter A.  It’s so easy for you to answer, isn’t it ? Thus, I’d like to give you an additional question : What are the names of those States’ Capital Cities and their abbreviated names usually written before the Zip Code (Example : California = CA)?

      B.- You like reading newspapers or magazines, don’t you ? Surely you have seen :  ASEAN – NATO –UNESCO. Please write in full those international organizations.

      C.-  There are 12 months in a year (lunar years excepted) . The first month is Jannuary, the second February etc… January always comes before February. That’ s right ?  Now, listen or read carefully !   Where does February come before January ? Even in the United States !
