Please dont start a new thread without searching before if this isnt already covered.
As we have already an thread on acetaldehyde and this question is already answered there.
And the answer is:
Yes it is possible to make acetaldehyde from ethylene glycol but not simple by boiling with dil. H2SO4 - this yields dioxane.
