Always (luôn luôn), usually (thường thường), often (thường), sometimes
(thỉnh thoảng), rarely (hiếm khi), seldom (hiếm khi), frequently (thường xuyên),
hardly (hiếm khi), never (không bao giờ), regularly (thường xuyên)… - Các trạng từ này thường đứng trước động từ thường, sau động từ “to be” và
trợ động từ.
Ví dụ: - He rarely goes to school by bus. (Anh ta hiếm khi đi học bằng xe buýt)
-
She is usually at home in the evening (Cô ấy thường ở nhà vào buổi tối)

-
Once (một lần), twice (hai lần), three times (ba lần), four times (bốn lần)…
-

Ví dụ: - He phones home every week (Anh ấy điện thoại về nhà mỗi tuần)
-
They go on holiday to the seaside once a year (Họ đi nghỉ hè ở bãi biển mỗi
năm một lần) 4. Cách thêm s/es vào sau động từ
Trong câu ở thì hiện tại đơn, nếu chủ ngữ là ngôi thứ ba số ít (she,he,it,danh từ số ít)
thì động từ phải thêm đuôi s/es. Dưới đây là các quy tắc khi chia động từ.
Thêm “s” vào đằng sau hầu hết các Ví dụ: Work – Read – reads
động từ works
Love – See – sees
loves
Thêm “es” vào các động từ kết thúc Ví dụ: Miss – Watch – watches
bằng “ch,sh,x,s,z,o” misses
Mix – mixes Go – goes
Đối với động từ tận cùng bằng “y” Ví dụ: Play – plays Fly – flies
Buy – buys Cry – cries
7
+ Nếu trước “y” là một nguyên âm Pay – pays Fry – fries

+ Nếu trước “y” là một phụ âm ta
đổi “y” thành “I + es”

II. Read the following passage about the importance of water, then choose the
best answer to each of the following questions.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should
drink this water before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be
similar to body temperature, neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? It helps clean out your kidneys. It prepares your
stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking
water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t
drink all of that water in one sitting. It’s better to drink some in the morning and
some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not
during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is
light yellow, you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow,
you probably need to drink more water.

4. Why is it better to drink between meals?
A. You eat enough food. B. You don’t dilute stomach juices.
C. Your urine will not smell bad. D. You don’t overwork your kidneys.
5. Why is dark-colored urine a sign to drink more water?
A. It shows our body is healthy. B. It means our kidneys are working too hard.

VOLUNTEERING TO HELP DESERT ANIMALS
Cameron Oliver had a passion for the welfare of desert animals. He received the Abu
Dhabi Award as a com¬munity hero for his contributions to society. However, the
biggest reason for his fame may be that he was very small. He was only 11 years old
when he began his own campaign to save camels from eating plastic. “I found out
that camels are eating rubbish people leave behind and it’s killing them,” says the
South African boy. “I love animals, so when I saw how the camels were dying, I
