ARTICLES (MẠO TỪ) "a" và "an" dùng chỉ những sự vật, hiện tượng cụ thể người nghe không biết, "The" chỉ sự việc cả người nói và người nghe đều biết. 1. Mạo từ “the” - Dùng “the” khi nói về một vật riêng hoặc một người mà cả người nghe và người nói đều biết. Ví dụ: The dog is on the chair. (Con chó ở trên ghế ấy.) - “the” cũng được dùng để nói về một vật thể hoặc địa điểm đặc biệt, duy nhất. Ví dụ: The Eiffel Tower is in Paris. (Tháp Eiffel ở Paris.) The Earth revolves around the Sun. (Trái Đất xoay xung quanh mặt trời.) - Trong một số trường hợp, “the” có thể dùng với danh từ số ít và số nhiều. Ví dụ: the cat (con mèo), the cats (những con mèo) - “the” đứng trước danh từ, xác định bằng một cụm từ hoặc một mệnh đề. Ví dụ: The girl in uniform is my sister. (Cô gái mặc đồng phục là chị của tôi.) - Mạo từ “the” đứng trước từ chỉ thứ tự của sự việc như "first" (thứ nhất), "second" (thứ nhì), "only" (duy nhất) Ví dụ: The first day (ngày đầu tiên) The best time (thời gian thuận tiện nhất) The only way (cách duy nhất) - "the" + danh từ số ít tượng trưng cho một nhóm động vật, một loài hoặc đồ vật Ví dụ: The whale is in danger of becoming extinct.

Tuy nhiên, dùng “An” khi chữ đằng sau bắt đầu bằng nguyên âm (a, o, u e,i) và dùng “A” khi chữ đằng sau bắt đầu bằng các phụ âm còn lại. Ví dụ: An hour (một giờ), a dog (một con chó) - Từ “A” và “An” dùng khi danh từ người nói nhắc đến không đặc biệt. Ví dụ: I would like an apple. (Tôi muốn một trái táo.) - “A” và “An” dùng để giới thiệu về thứ lần đầu tiên nhắc tới với người nghe (người nghe chưa biết gì về thứ này). Sau khi giới thiệu, người nói có thể dùng mạo từ “The” khi nhắc tới vật đó. Ví dụ: John has a dog and cat. The dog is called Rover, and the cat is called Fluffy. (John có một con chó và một con mèo. Chú chó tên là Rover và chú mèo tên là Fluffy.) - Trong một số trường hợp, “A”, “An” được dùng với danh từ số ít Ví dụ: A cat (một con mèo) 3.

IV. RELATIVE CLAUSES (MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ)
Mệnh đề quan hệ là mệnh đề bắt đầu bởi các đại từ quan hệ như who/whom/which/whose/that và các trạng từ quan hệ như where/when. Có hai loại mệnh đề quan hệ: Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (defining) và không xác định (non-defining). 1. Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định. Là mệnh đề cần thiết phải có để làm chức năng giới hạn, làm rõ nghĩa danh từ đứng trước nó. Mệnh đề này thường không có dấu phẩy trước và sau nó. Eg: I don’t know the girl whom/that you met yesterday. 2. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định. Là mệnh đề không cần thiết phải có để làm chức năng giới hạn danh từ đứng trước nó, nghĩa là bản thân danh từ đứng trước nó bổ nghĩa. Vì thế mệnh đề này thường dùng sau danh từ riêng hoặc các danh từ bổ nghĩa ( Mr. Pike, Mrs. Hoa, ..), thường có dấu phẩy trước và sau nó. Eg: Mr. Pike , who is my neighbor , is very nice. 3. Relative pronouns (Đại từ quan hệ) Functions Defining Non-defining ( Chức năng) (Xác định) (Không xác định) Subject Người WHO / THAT WHO ( Chủ ngữ ) Vật WHICH / THAT WHICH Object Người WHOM / THAT WHOM ( Tân ngữ ) Vật WHICH / THAT WHICH
Posessive Người WHOSE WHOSE ( Sở hữu ) Vật WHOSE WHOSE 4. Relative adverbs. - When => time Ví dụ: Monday is the day.

ĐỘNG TỪ THƯỜNG: (+): S + V-ed/ cột 2 bảng động từ bất quy tắc (-): S + did not (didn’t) + V(inf) (?): Did + S + V(inf) Notes: Qui tắc thêm ED: - Động từ tận cùng bằng “e” câm. Thì chỉ cần thêm “d”: change => changed, love => loved. - Động từ tận cùng bằng một phụ âm trước nó là nguyên âm duy nhất, trước khi thêm “ed” phải gấp đôi phụ âm cuối: stop =>stopped, rub =>rubbed; hug => hugged. - Những động từ tận cùng bằng “y” trước nó là một phụ âm thì đổi y =>i trước khi thêm “ed”: try => tried 2.

Ví dụ: He gave me a pen. => I was given a pen by him. => A pen was given to me by him. 2. Some special Passive form: a. Questions: Ex: Who wrote that play? => By whom was that play written? Have they read the letter? => Has the letter been read? b. Material agent: Ex: Smoke filled the room. => The room was filled with smoke. c.

At least 52 polar bears have been seen wandering around the town of Belushya Guba. The town is on the island of Novaya Zemlya, which is in the Arctic Ocean. The situation has become serious because the bears have chased people and entered homes and offices. Local officials have declared a “polar bear emergency". Local official Alexander Minayev said: “The people are scared. They are frightened to leave homes and their daily routines are broken. Parents are afraid to
let their children go to school or kindergarten." A local said: "I have been [here] since 1983, but there have never been so many polar bears in the vicinity." Officials say the polar bears are roaming into towns looking for food. They say that climate change is one reason for this. More sea ice is melting, which means the bears are moving into new areas to find food. They are attracted by the smell of food in bins outside people's homes. Town officials have asked for permission to kill the animals to reduce the danger to humans. However, Russia's environmental agency has refused this request.

Hurricane Who? Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North and South America. These storms go around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit in the northern part of the world. They have wind speeds of 60kph or more. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps! an eye out for hurricanes. When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a male or female name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its possible dangers. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a different letter. The first hurricane of the year gets the first name on that year's list. The second hurricane gets the next name. For example, if the first hurricane is named Abel, the second might be named Betty. The name lists do not include names beginning with the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z. There aren't many names that begin with these letters. 91 Asian countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon Committee. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals, trees, and other similar things 21. What is the main idea of this reading? A. Why tropical cyclones are named B.
