laddison, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. I've got a few suggestions, and if you give them a try, I'd be happy to remove this flag. I wasnt sure what was newsworthy in this story.
This post looks like a press release and for a commercial purpose. Please review What Makes News News. (You might want to check out our J-Tips for more help.)

Hello Cynthia yoo,
Thank you for your notification.
I just found the news, and posted it here so I am wondering how it can be for commercial purpose. Moreover, the website I used to hightlight is a frequently updated, that is why I bookmark and use their feed. I would appreciate you much if you tell me how to do it better..because I have no tout intension in mind.
Thank you,
Laddison

Hi Laddison,
Thank you for responding. The problem is that most of the articles you have posted are chosen from Vietnamese tour operator sites. These websites are for commercial purposes.
Rather than post pieces from these tourism websites, why don't you write about your experiences in Vietnam. It would be great if you could use your knowledge of the country and society to inform what's happening there. Please check my earlier post for links to journalism tips. Thank you for your attention.
Best,
Cynthia
