I'm sorry, teacher. I was mistaken. ‘-ssi’ usually add after name to my co-workers or subordinate at work. I will go to my brother’s house with my mother. And I will play near it. I am excited! 1. three kinds of holidays - national holidays, special working holidays, special non-working holidays -> Right? And I have to put ‘s’ on the back of ‘holiday’, right? a kind = one kind -> Right? 2. direct speech - She said, “I will be there at 5.m.” , She called him the “Lebron James” of Korea. etc. -> Right? 3. straightened -> Can't I pronounce ‘t’ sound? possible -> Should I pronounce ‘po’ as ‘pa’ and ‘ssi’ as ‘ssu’? modify -> Should I pronounce ‘mo’ as ‘ma’ and ‘di’ as ‘ru’? 4. They are not same meaning. / It’s only called. -> This sentence structure is not correct. Right? 5. He was shot from behind as he ran away. ->Why is ‘behind’ adverb in this sentence? 6. I will spend Lunar new year and Christmas holidays abroad. ->I can't use ‘holidays’ as ‘holiday’ here. Right?

I will go to my brother’s house with my mother. And I will play near it. I am excited!
>> CORRECT

1. three kinds of holidays - national holidays, special working holidays, special non-working holidays
-> Right? And I have to put ‘s’ on the back of ‘holiday’, right?

>> CORRECT
a kind = one kind
-> Right?

>> CORRECT
2. direct speech - She said, “I will be there at 5.m.” , She called him the “Lebron James” of Korea. etc.
-> Right?

>> She said, “I will be there at 5.m.”  - direct speech ( You repeat what someone said exactly.)

>> She called him the “Lebron James” of Korea. = (Not a direct speech but "Lebron James" is used symbolically or metaphorically,not directly saying someone is Lebron James"
3. straightened -> Can't I pronounce ‘t’ sound?

> You may or may not pronounce the t sound. 
possible -> Should I pronounce ‘po’ as ‘pa’ and ‘ssi’ as ‘ssu’?

>> possible - [ pos-uh-buhl ] (you may pronounce them as pa or ssu but not too obvious. Try to make the sound more subtle)
modify -> Should I pronounce ‘mo’ as ‘ma’ and ‘di’ as ‘ru’?

>> modify - [ mod-uh-fahy ] (no, you can't pronounce mo as ma because, in this case, di is di, not ri in this word)
4. They are not same meaning. / It’s only called.
-> This sentence structure is not correct. Right?'

>> CORRECT
5. He was shot from behind as he ran away.
->Why is ‘behind’ adverb in this sentence?

>> Behind here modifies the word shot, a verb. You can use behind as a preposition like in this sentence: He was behind him at the restaurant. 
6. I will spend Lunar new year and Christmas holidays abroad.
->I can't use ‘holidays’ as ‘holiday’ here. Right?

>> Yes, because you are talking about two different holidays.
