TOPIC 3: A TRIP TO THE COUNTRYSIDE A/ Grammar: 1. Giới từ chỉ thời gian: (Preposition of time) - at (lúc, vào lúc) dùng cho thời gian trong ngày và vào những ngày lễ. vd: at 5 o’clock at midnight, at Christmas - on ( vào) dùng cho ngày, ngày tháng, ngày tháng năm và các ngày cụ thể vd: on Wednesday on 20 July 1992 on Christmas day on Friday morning - in ( trong, vào): dùng cho tháng, năm, mùa, thế kỷ và các buổi trong ngày (ngoại trừ at night) vd: in 1998, in September, in the winter, in the 21st century, in the morning - after: sau, sau khi Vd: I’ll see you after the meeting - before: trước, trước khi before lunch, two days before Christmas, the day before yesterday - between ... and ..... : giữa hai khoảng thời gian. between 6 pm and 8 am Lưu ý: - không dùng các giới từ in, on, at trước every, last, next, this, tomorrow, yesterday… - till/ until: đến tận …., tới tận….

Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ kết quả: So + adverb clause of result (so + mệnh đề chỉ kết quả) By Nguyen Van Manh

“The harder you work -> The more successful you get”

- “Because” đứng trước mệnh đề chỉ nguyên nhân. “So” đứng trước mệnh đề chỉ kết quả. Tuy nhiên mệnh đề nguyên nhân nếu có “because” thì có thể đứng trước hoặc sau mệnh đề kết quả. Nhưng mđề kết quả mà có “so” thì luôn đứng sau. - Lưu ý: đã dùng “because” thì bỏ “so” và ngược lại * Ta sẽ thấy xảy ra các trường hợp sau: 1. Because + mđề nguyên nhân, mđề kết quả <=> mđề nguyên nhân, so + mđề kết quả Chỉ việc bỏ “because” vế trước và thêm “so” vế sau là xong hoặc ngược lại. 2. mđề kết quả + because + mđề nguyên nhân <=> mđề nguyên nhân, so + mđề kết quả Trường hợp này phải đảo mđề nguyên nhân lên trước, bỏ “because” đi rồi thêm “so” vào mđề kết quả như trường hợp 1. Vd1: We arrived late, so we missed the beginning of the film (dùng because) ………………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………….. Vd2: We were late for school because the bus arrived late. (dùng So) ………………………………………………………………………………………….. 3. Chuyển mệnh dề “because” sang cụm danh từ sau “because of” Khi chuyển đổi từ mệnh đề -> danh từ/ cụm danh từ sẽ xả ra 3 trường hợp sau: 3.1. Nếu thấy 2 chủ ngữ giống nhau thì bỏ chủ ngữ gần Because, động từ thêm "ing". Nếu phủ định “not + V-ing” Ví dụ: Because Nam is tall, he can reach the book on the shelf. => ………………………………………………………………………………………. 3.2. Nếu thấy có danh từ và tính từ thì đưa tính từ lên trước danh từ, còn lại bỏ hết. Ví dụ: Because the wind is strong, many houses may be damaged. => ………………………………………………………………………………………. - Sau khi bỏ "to be" (is) thấy có danh từ và tính từ nên ta chỉ việc đưa tính từ lên trước danh từ. 3.3. Nếu thấy chỉ còn lại danh từ thì chỉ việc giữ lại danh từ. Ví dụ: Because there was a storm, We had to cut down some tall trees. - Sau khi bỏ "there", bỏ "to be" (was) chỉ còn lại danh từ => chỉ việc lấy mà dùng, đổi mạo từ “a/an” -> mạo từ xác định “the”.

Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such things needs lots of practice. It is never enough simply to “know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what to know. For example, it is not enough simply to read a book on how to fly an aeroplane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The same is true of learning the piano or learning a foreign language. Can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know. 1. Learning a foreign language and learning to fly are the same in an important way. ………… 2. Information about flying from books is enough for someone to fly. …………….. 3. It is dangerous to try to fly without any real practice. …………….. 4. Talking to a native speaker can be a good way to speak English well. …………….. 5. Language learners can make their English perfect without practice. ……………..

Dạng đặc biệt It

Câu mệnh lệnh

, Will you?

Chủ ngữ everyone/ somebody/ no one

They

Let’s

, shall we?

I am

aren’t I

Chủ ngữ “every thing/ nothing”

Nguyên tắc thành lâp - trợ động từ phần hỏi đuôn luôn ngược lại với động từ ở mệnh đề chính. (m-đề chính: khẳng định => phần đuôi: phủ định và ngược lại) - trợ động từ phủ định ở phần hỏi đuôi luôn được viết tắt - chủ ngữ ở phần đuôi chỉ có thể là: “I, we, you, they, it, he, she hoặc there” tương ứng với chủ ngữ mệnh đề chính. Vd: Lan ẹnjoys watching TV after dinner, doesn’t she? Lan doesn’t enjoy watching TV after dinner, does she? Chú ý: nếu mệnh đề chính có các trạng từ “never, hardly/seldom (hiếm khi), nobody, no one, nothing” thì được hiểu theo phủ định. Vd: She is never late for school, is she? (đúng) She is never late for school, isn’t she? (sai) 2. Gerunds after some verbs. (danh động từ sau 1 số động từ) Khái niệm danh động từ: động từ nhưng mang chức năng của danh từ Cách thành lập: khi chuyển sang danh động từ chỉ việc thêm “ing” vào sau động từ Vd: speak (nói) speaking (việc nói) listen (nghe) listening (việc nghe) Các trường hợp sử dụng danh động từ: a. Theo sau các động từ: like love enjoy hate dislike begin/ start finish avoid (tránh) suggest mind prefer consider (xem xét) admit (thừa nhận) deny (phủ nhận) mention keep practice miss (bỏ lỡ) b. sau các giới từ. Vd: He’s given up smoking. Anh ấy đã bỏ hút thuốc lá c/ sau cụm từ (to be used to/ get used to ….. quen với việc gì) Vd: Cậu ấy quen dậy sớm rồi -> ……………………………………………. d. Một số cụm từ thường đòi hỏi theo sau chúng là một danh động từ Be busy: bận rộn Have good time: tận hưởng Waste time: lãng phí thời gian Have fun: thích thú Have trouble: gặp phiền toái Spend time: dành thời gian Vd: Mẹ tôi luôn bận rộn làm việc nhà.

(2, 5ms ) An unidentified flying object or a U.F.O is the name we give to something strange in the sky that we don’t recognize. For thousands of years there have been stories about strange objects in the sky. Until recently, however, nobody believed these stories. Some of them sounded just too crazy to be true. If you reported seeing a “ flying saucer ” or something like that, most people thought you are imagining things. Recently, however, there have been many more reports of U.F.O sightings. Many of these objects, too, have been seen by more than one person, so it is not easy to laugh at them. Occasionally photographs have been taken which show that there was something there. But what was it? There is still such lot we don’t understand about the world we live in. 1) A U.F.0 is a short name for an unidentified flying object. 2) There have been stories about strange objects in the sky for thousands of years 3) Until recently, most people believed in the existence of U.F.Os. 4) Photographs are not evidence for U.F.O appearance. 5) There is much that has been explained clearly about our world. ----------- The end -----------

quiet and life is slow and easy. You never have to queue in shops or banks. The village is clean – people look after it and don’t throw their rubbish in the streets.

Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There some differences, but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such things needs lots of practice. It is never enough simply to “know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what to know. For example, it is not enough simply to read a book on how to fly an aeroplane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The same is true of learning the piano or learning a foreign language. Can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know. 1.

For thousands of years there have been stories about strange objects in the sky. Until recently, however, nobody believed these stories. Some of them sounded just too crazy to be true. If you reported seeing a “ flying saucer ” or something like that, most people thought you are imagining things. Recently, however, there have been many more reports of U.F.O sightings. Many of these objects, too, have been seen by more than one person, so it is not easy to laugh at them. Occasionally photographs have been taken which show that there was something there. But what was it? There is still such lot we don’t understand about the world we live in. 1) A U.F.0 is a short name for an unidentified flying object.
