Unit 1: LOCAL ENVIRONMENT A. GRAMMAR I. COMPLEX SENTENCES 1. What is a complex sentence? (Câu phức là gì?) Câu phức là câu có ít nhất một mệnh đề phụ thuộc (dependent clause) và một mệnh đề độc lập (independent clause) liên kết với nhau thông qua sử dụng các liên từ phụ thuộc (Subordinating conjuntions). Để thành thạo dạng câu này, chúng ta phải phân biệt được mệnh đề độc lập - “independent clause” và mệnh đề phụ thuộc - “dependent clause”. Vị trí của các mệnh đề phụ rất quan trọng dù nó không làm thay đổi nghĩa của câu nhưng sẽ quyết định xem câu của chúng ta nên thêm dấu phẩy hay không, qua đó quyết định tính đúng sai về mặt văn phạm của câu. 2. Subordinating conjunctions (Các liên từ phụ thuộc) Liên từ phụ thuộc được sử dụng để bắt đầu mệnh đề phụ thuộc, liên kết mệnh đề này và mệnh đề độc lập trong câu. Mệnh đề phụ thuộc có thể đứng trước hoặc đứng sau mệnh đề độc lập nhưng phải luôn được bắt đầu bằng liên từ phụ thuộc. Một số hên từ phụ thuộc hay gặp: although (mặc dù), though (mặc dù), because (bởi vì), since (vì), when (khi), as soon as (ngay sau khi), so that (vì vậy), in order that (để mà), if (nếu), unless (trừ khi),.. Ví dụ: Although I studied hard, I couldn’t pass the exam. Mệnh đề phụ thuộc Mệnh đề độc lập (Mặc dù tớ đã học hành chăm chỉ nhưng tớ không thể qua được kì thi.) I couldn’t pass the exam although I studied hard. Mệnh đề độc lập Mệnh đề phụ thuộc (Tớ không thể đỗ kì thi mặc dù tớ đã học hành chăm chỉ.) * Lưu ý: Nguyên tắc dùng dấu phẩy (,) với liên từ phụ thuộc Nếu mệnh đề phụ thuộc đứng trước mệnh đề độc lập thì giữa hai mệnh đề phải sử dụng dấu phẩy. Tuy nhiên, khi mệnh đề độc lập đứng trước thì không cần có dấu phẩy giữa hai mệnh đề. 3. Form (Công thức): subordinating conjunctions + dependent clause, + independent clause Or Independent clause + subordinating conjunctions + dependent clause (Liên từ phụ thuộc + Mệnh đề phụ thuộc, + Mệnh đề độc lập Hoặc Mệnh đề độc lập + Liên từ phụ thuộc + Mệnh đề phụ thuộc) 4. Types of dependent clause (Các loại mệnh đề phụ thuộc) a. Dependent clause of concession (Mệnh đề phụ thuộc chỉ sự nhượng bộ) Mệnh đề này bắt đầu bằng những liên từ phụ thuộc although, though hoặc eventhough. Nó thể hiện một kết quả không mong muốn. Ví dụ: Although he is very old, he goes jogging every morning. (Mặc dù ông ấy đã cao tuổi nhưng ông ấy vẫn đi bộ vào mỗi sáng.) * Lưu ý: although/ though/ even though dùng với mệnh đề, ngoài ra có thể dùng despite và in spite of (+ cụm danh từ/ danh động từ) hoặc despite the fact that và in spite of the fact that (+ mệnh đề) để diễn đạt ý tương đương. Ví dụ: Despite his age, he goes jogging every morning. (Mặc dù tuổi cao nhưng ông ấy vẫn đi bộ vào mỗi sáng.) 2

2. Dependent clause of purpose (Mệnh đề phụ thuộc chỉ mục đích) Mệnh đề này bắt đầu bằng những liên từ phụ thuộc như so that hoặc in order that. Mệnh đề này được dùng để nói về mục đích của hành động trong mệnh đề độc lập. Ví dụ: We left early so that we wouldn’t be caught in the traffic jam. (Chúng tôi rời đi sớm để tránh bị tắc đường.) c. Dependent clause of reason (Mệnh đề phụ thuộc chỉ nguyên nhân) Mệnh đề này bắt đầu bằng những liên từ phụ thuộc because, since hoặc as. Mệnh đề này trả lời cho câu hỏi “tại sao” (Why?). Ví dụ: I didn’t go to school today because it rained so heavily. (Hôm nay, tớ không đi học bởi vì trời mưa quá to.) As this is the first time you are here, let me take you around. (Bởi vì đây là lần đầu tiên bạn đến đây, hãy để tớ đưa bạn đi thăm xung quanh.) * Lưu ý: Ngoài because/ since được dùng với mệnh đề phụ thuộc chỉ nguyên nhân, chúng ta có thể dùng because of/ due to + cụm danh từ/ V-ing để diễn đạt ý tương đương. Ví dụ: I didn’t go to school today because of the heavy rain. (Tớ không đi học hôm nay bởi vì trời mưa to.) d. Dependent clause of time (Mệnh đề phụ thuộc chỉ thời gian) Mệnh đề này bắt đầu bằng các liên từ phụ thuộc when (khi), while (trong khi), before (trước), after (sau), as soon as (ngay sau khi)... Mệnh đề này làm rõ thời điểm hành động ở mệnh đề độc lập diễn ra. Ví dụ: As soon as the teacher arrived, they started their lesson. (Ngay sau khi giáo viên đến lớp, cả lớp bắt đầu bài học.) I was washing the dishes while my sister was cleaning the floor. (Tờ đang rửa bát trong khi chị gái tớ đang lau nhà.) e. Dependent clause of condition (Mệnh đề phụ thuộc chỉ điều kiện) Mệnh đề này bắt đầu bằng các liên từ phụ thuộc if (nếu), as long as (với điều kiện), even if (thậm chí nếu) hoặc unless (= if... not)... Mệnh đề này đưa ra một điều kiện và kết quả của điều kiện đó. Ví dụ: I will lend you money as long as you pay me next month. (Tớ sẽ cho cậu vay tiền, với điều kiện là cậu trả tớ vào tháng tới.) The crop will die unless it rains soon. (Vụ mùa sẽ hỏng nếu trời không mưa sớm.) II. PHRASAL VERBS (CỤM ĐỘNG TỪ) 1. What is a phrasal verb? (Cụm động từ là gì?) Cụm động từ là một động từ được theo sau bởi tiểu từ (particles): giới từ (prepositions) hoặc trạng từ (adverbs): back, in, on, off, through, up... Sự kết hợp của động từ và tiểu từ thường tạo cho cụm động từ một ý nghĩa hoàn toàn khác so với ý nghĩa gốc của động từ. Ví dụ: If you don’t know the meaning of a word, you can look it up in the dictionary. look up = get the information (tra cứu) (Nếu bạn không biết nghĩa của từ vựng, bạn có thể tra cứu trong từ điển.) When my parents go on business, I must look after my younger brother. look after = take care of (chăm sóc, trông coi) (Khi bố mẹ tôi đi công tác, tôi phải trông coi em trai mình.) You should never look down on others just because they are poorer than you. look down on = show a lack of respect (coi thường) (Con không bao giờ được coi thường người khác chỉ vì họ nghèo khó hơn con.) Ý nghĩa của cụm động từ thường khó đoán do không phụ thuộc vào nghĩa của động từ gốc và 3

nghĩa của giới từ, do đó việc học cụm động từ thường gây nhiều khó khăn cho người học và chỉ có thể được ghi nhớ bằng cách học thuộc lòng và luyện tập. Lưu ý rằng các cụm động từ thường được dùng chủ yếu trong văn nói hoặc các văn bản viết không yêu cầu tính trang trọng, lịch sự. Nên tránh sử dụng cụm động từ trong các bài viết học thuật (trong bài viết học thuật, người ta thường có xu hướng sử dụng những động từ chuẩn tắc như “to postpone” thay vì cụm động từ “to put off”). 2. Separable phrasal verbs (Cụm động từ có thể tách rời) Cụm động từ có thể tách rời nghĩa là giữa động từ và giới từ có thể có một tân ngữ xen giữa. Ví dụ: I looked up the word in the dictionary. Hoặc I looked the word up in the dictionary. (Tớ đã tra nghĩa của từ này trong từ điển.) I need to pick up my friend at the station at 9.00 this morning. Hoặc I need to pick my friend up at the station at 9.00 this morning. (Tớ cần phải đi đón bạn tớ ở nhà ga lúc 9 giờ sáng nay.) * Lưu ý: Nếu tân ngữ là một đại từ thì tân ngữ bắt buộc phải đứng giữa động từ và giới từ. Ví dụ: I looked the number up in the phone book. → đúng I looked up the number in the phone book. → đúng I looked it up in the phone book, → đúng I looked up it in the phone book. → sai 3. Some common phrasal verbs (Các cụm động từ phổ biến.) getup (get out of bed) thức dậy find out (get information) tìm kiếm bring out (publish/ launch) xuất bản/giới thiệu look through (read) đọc pick up đón look up (get information) tra cứu break up đột nhập bring up (rear, educate a child) nuôi dưỡng, giáo dục call back (return a phone call) điện thoại lại cho ai carry on (continue) tiếp tục come across (find/ meet by chance) tình cờ bắt gặp come back (return) quay trở lại come up with (produce an idea) nảy ra, sáng tạo ra (ý tưởng) fall off (drop from) ngã, rơi xuống get along with (be in good terms with sb) hòa hợp, hòa thuận với ai get off >< get on lên >< xuống xe look after (take care of) chăm sóc look for (seek) tìm kiếm look forward to trông mong, mong chờ put off (postpone) trì hoãn put up with (accept) chịu đựng run away (escape) chạy trốn run out of hết, cạn kiệt take off (begin flight/ plane) cất cánh turn down (refuse/ reject) từ chối 4

Unit 2: CITY LIFE A. GRAMMAR I. COMPARISON OF ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS (SO SÁNH CỦA TÍNH TỪ VÀ TRẠNG TỪ) 1. Comparison of adjectives and adverbs (So sánh của tính từ và trạng từ) Khi học về so sánh của tính từ và trạng từ chúng ta cần nắm được cách sử dụng cơ bản của hai loại từ này. Tính từ (adjective) được sử dụng sau động từ “to be” và sau các động từ kết nối (linking verbs) như: become (trở nên), feel (cảm thấy), look (trông có vẻ), appear (xuất hiện), seem (dường như), sound (cỏ vẻ), smell (ngửi), taste (có vị). để mô tả đặc điểm, tính chất của sự vật hiện tượng. Ví dụ: He has become very famous recently. (Dạo này, anh ta trở nên rất nổi tiếng.) This dish tastes so delicious. Mum! (Món ăn này có vị ngon quá, mẹ à!) Trạng từ (adverbs) được sử dụng sau động từ thường (ordinary verbs) để thể hiện cách thức của các hành động như: run, drive, drink, work, study (chạy, lái xe, uống, làm việc, học tập. ..) Ví dụ: My dad always drives carefully. (Bố tớ luôn luôn lái xe rất cẩn thận.) He studies very hard this semester. (Kì này cậu ấy học rất chăm chỉ.) * Lưu ý: Khi chuyển một tính từ sang trạng từ (chỉ cách thức), ta chỉ cần thêm đuôi -ly vào sau tính từ: careful - carefully (cẩn thận), quick - quickly (nhanh), slow - slowly (chậm). ...Có một số từ vừa là tính từ, vừa là trạng từ: hard (vất cả, chăm chỉ), fast (nhanh), late (muộn), early (sớm).... a. Comparative of adjectives and adverbs (So sánh hơn của tính từ và trạng từ) * Đối với tính từ/ trạng từ ngắn (short adj/ adv) S1 + V + short adj / adv + er + than + S2 Ví dụ: She is taller than her younger sister. (Cô ấy cao hơn em gái mình.) He always studies harder than me /I am. (Anh ấy luôn luôn học hành chăm chỉ hơn tôi.) * Đối với tính từ/ trạng từ dài (long adj/ adv) S1 + V + more + long adj / adv than + S2 Ví dụ: Mrs. Lan is more beautiful than she used to. (Cô Lan bây giờ xinh hơn so với trước đây.) Women usually drive more carefully than men. (Phụ nữ thường lái xe cẩn thận hơn nam giới.) b. Superlative of adjectives and adverbs (So sánh hơn nhất của tính từ và trạng từ.) * Đối với tính từ/ trạng từ ngắn (short adj/ adv) S + V + the + short adj / adv + est + of/ in + noun/ noun phrase Ví dụ: My brother is the strongest player in the school football team. (Anh trai tôi là cầu thủ khỏe nhất trong đội bóng đá trường.) He 10

ran the fastest in the race. (Anh ta chạy nhanh nhất trong cuộc đua.) * Đối với tính từ/ trạng từ dài (long adj/ adv) S + V + the + most + long adj / adv + of/ in + noun/ noun phrase Ví dụ: My mom is the most careful in my family. (Mẹ tôi là người cẩn thận nhất trong gia đình.) He drives the most carefully of all these drivers. (Anh ấy lái xe cẩn thận nhất trong so các lái xe ở đây.) c. Some notes on comparison (Một số chú ý trong cấu trúc so sánh.) + So sánh hơn có thể được nhấn mạnh bằng cách thêm much /far / a lot / lots / a good deal/a great deal (nhiều) hoặc giảm nhẹ bằng cách thêm a bit/a little/ slightly (một chút) vào trước hình thức so sánh. Ví dụ: He is much taller than me (I am). (Anh ấy cao hơn tôi nhiều.) This TV is a lot more expensive than that one. (Chiếc TV này đắt hơn nhiều so với chiếc kia.) My sister studies a little better than me. (Chị gái tôi học tot hơn tôi một chút.) + Trong so sánh hơn nhất của tính từ, ta có thể dùng second, third, fourth.....để nói về vị trí thứ hai, thứ ba.... Ví dụ: Russian is the biggest country in the world and Canada is the second biggest one. (Nước Nga là nước lớn nhất trên thế giới và nước Canada là nước lớn thứ hai.) + So sánh hơn nhất có thể được nhấn mạnh bằng cách thêm almost (hầu như); much (nhiều); quite (tương đối); by far / far (rất nhiều) vào trước hình thức so sánh. Ví dụ: She is by far the best. (Cô ấy hơn mọi người rất nhiều.) Harry Porter is by far the most interesting storv that I have read. (Harry Porter là truyện hay nhất mà tớ đã từng đọc.) II. PHRASAL VERBS - CỤM ĐỘNG TỪ (TIẾP) Ngoài việc học nghĩa của cụm động từ, chúng ta cũng cần biết liệu động từ đó và tiểu từ hay giới từ có luôn đi cạnh nhau hay chúng có thể tách rời nhau được. Ở bài trước chúng ta đã học về cụm động từ có thể tách rời (Separable verb phrases), nghĩa là tân ngữ của động từ có thể đứng ở giữa động từ và tiểu từ hay giới từ: put sth on, turn sth/sb down... Trong bài hôm nay chúng ta sẽ học về cụm động từ không thể tách rời (Inseparable phrasal verbs), nghĩa là động từ và giới từ luôn đi cạnh nhau không bao giờ tách rời: set off, look forward to, put up with.... Ví dụ: I am looking forward to seeing her soon. (Tôi đang mong chờ gặp cô ấy.) What time will you set off tomorrow morning? (Sáng mai mấy giờ cậu khởi hành?) * Lưu ý: Một số cụm động từ không thể tách rời: turn up xuất hiện get on with hòa hợp với ai đó set off khởi hành look forward to mong đợi put up with chịu đựng 11

Unit 4: LIFE IN THE PAST A. GRAMMAR I. USED TO Form (Công thức): (+) S + used to + V-infinitive. (−) S + didn’t use to + V-infinitive. (?) Did + S + use to + V-infinitive? Yes, S + did. No, S + didn’t. Uses (Cách sử dung): Chúng ta sử dụng “used to” để nói về một sự việc, một hành động, một trạng thái hay một thói quen đã xảy ra trong quá khứ và bây giờ không còn xảy ra nữa. (Hay nói cách khác thì chúng ta sử dụng “used to ” để nói rằng ai đó trước đây thường làm việc gì và bây giờ không còn làm việc đó nữa.) Ví dụ: She used to be a long distance runner when she was younger. (Cô ấy trước đây đã từng là một người vận động viên chạy khi cô ấy còn trẻ.) I used to teach English for children when I was in Japan. (Tôi đã từng dạy tiếng Anh cho trẻ em khi tôi ở Nhật Bản.) * Lưu ý: Chỉ sử dụng “used to” để nói về thói quen trong quá khứ, còn khi nói về thói quen ở hiện tại chúng ta dùng thì hiện tại tiếp diễn cùng các trạng từ chỉ tần suất: usually, always, often, never... Ví dụ: I often play volleyball at school stadium. Người học thường nhầm lẫn giữa “used to ” và “be/ get used to” bởi vì trông chúng khá giống nhau. Tuy nhiên, chúng hoàn toàn khác nhau về ý nghĩa. be/ get used to + V-ing/ noun = be/ get accustomed to + V-ing Chúng ta sử dụng “be/ get used to + V-ing” để nói rằng ai đó quen với làm việc gì hay quen với cái gì và nó có thể được sử dụng ở tất cả các thì quá khứ, hiện tại và tương lai. Ví dụ: I’m getting used to driving on the left. (Tôi đang quen với việc lái xe ở bên trái.) I can’t get used to getting up so early. I’m tired all the time. (Tôi không thể quen với việc ngủ dậy sớm. Tôi lúc nào cũng mệt.) He is not used to the weather here yet. He’s finding it very cold. (Anh ấy chưa quen với thời tiết ở đây. Anh ấy luôn cảm thấy rất lạnh.) You might find it strange at first but you will soon get used to it. (Ban đầu bạn có thể cảm thấy lạ nhưng bạn sẽ nhanh chóng quen với nó thôi.) He wasn’t used to the heat and he caught sunstroke. (Anh ấy đã không quen với khí hậu nóng và anh ấy đã bị say nắng.) II. WISHES FOR THE PRESENT (MONG ƯỚC Ở HIỆN TẠI) Điều ước ở hiện tại được sử dụng để diễn tả một mong muốn không có thật ở hiện tại. (Mong ước cho hiện tại khác đi). Form (Công thức): S + wish + S + past simple (quá khứ đơn) S + wish + S + past continuous (quá khứ tiếp diễn) Chúng ta sử dụng thì quá khứ đơn khi chúng ta đưa ra mong ước không có thật ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai và sử dụng quá khứ tiếp diễn khi chúng ta mong ước một điều gì đó xảy ra khác với những gì đang diễn ra ngay tại thời điểm nói, thời điểm hiện tại. 29

Ví dụ: She wishes her son spent less time playing computer games and more time outdoors. (In fact, her son spends lots of time playing games.) (Cô ấy mong ước con trai cô ấy dành ít thời gian để chơi trò chơi điện tử và dành nhiều thời gian tham gia các hoạt động ở ngoài trời - thực tế con trai cô ấy đang dành nhiều thời gian chơi trò chơi điện tử). My close friend wishes that he were studying Marketing instead of tourism. (In fact, he is studying tourism.) (Bạn thân của tôi ước gì cậu ấy đang học Marketing thay vì học ngành du lịch - nhưng thực tế cậu ấy đang học ngành du lịch.) * Lưu ý: Đối với động từ to be “was” và “were” thì sau wish, chúng ta có thể sử dụng was hoặc were cho I/ she/ he/ it.

Unit 5: WONDERS OF VIET NAM A. GRAMMAR I. IMPERSONAL PASSIVE (BỊ ĐỘNG CÓ ĐỘNG TỪ TƯỜNG THUẬT) Chúng ta sử dụng câu bị động có động từ tường thuật để diễn đạt quan điểm của những người khác. Các động từ tường thuật (reporting verbs) thường được sử dụng là: say, think, believe, know, hope, expect, report, understand, claim, consider.,. Câu chủ động thường có dạng: S1 + V1 + that + S2 + V2 + O + .... Đối với câu bị động này, chủ ngữ (S1) thường là các chủ ngữ chung chung như: People / They ... Có 2 cách để biến đổi sang câu bị động có động từ tường thuật: Active: S1 + V1 + that +S2 + V2 + O + .... Passive: (C1) It + be + P2 (của V1) + that + S2 + V2 + O + .... (C2) S2 + be + P2 (của V1 ) + to + V2 + * Một số lưu ý về cách chia động từ ”be” và ”V2” trong câu bị động. (C1) - Động từ \"to be\" sẽ chia theo thì của V1 - V2 - giữ nguyên giống V2 của câu trực tiếp. (C2) - Động từ \"to be\" chia theo thì của V1 nhưng sẽ chia số ít hay nhiều thì phụ thuộc và S2. - V2 - Nếu V1 là thì hiện tại đơn → to V - Nếu V1 là thì quá khứ đơn → to have + P2 - Nếu V1 là thì hiện tại tiếp diễn → to be +V-ing Ví dụ 1: People say that Ha Long is one of the seven natural wonders in the world. (Mọi người nói rằng Hạ Long là một trong 7 kì quan thiên nhiên của thế giới.) → It is said that Ha Long is one of the seven natural wonders in the world. (Hạ Long được cho là một trong 7 kì quan thiên nhiên của thế giới.) → Hoặc: Ha Long is said to be one of the seven natural wonders in the world. (Hạ Long được cho là một trong 7 kì quan thiên nhiên của thế giới.) Ví dụ 2: They think that he is a great student. (Họ nghĩ rằng anh ấy là một sinh viên giỏi.) → It is thought that he is a great student. (Anh ấy được nghĩ rằng là một sinh viên giỏi.) → He is thought to be a great student. (Anh ấy được nghĩ rằng là một sinh viên giỏi.) II. “SUGGEST + V-ING / (THAT) S (+ SHOULD) + V ”-INFINITIVE (GỢI Ý LÀM GÌ) Form (Công thức): S + suggest + V-ing S + suggest + (that) + S + (should) + V -infinitive Uses (Cách sử dụng): + Chúng ta sử dụng cấu trúc trên để đưa ra những gợi ý của chúng ta khuyên mọi người nên làm gì, đi đâu...
