Hello Vinh Nguyen I'm sorry about this. I would suggest you try a different web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Edge) or different device (e.g. mobile phone, tablet, computer) to see if it works there. It's working for me now using Firefox on my computer, for example. If you could tell us what device and browser version you are using, that would also help us understand what is happening. Thanks and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Best wishes Kirk The LearnEnglish Team
