3. “To-infinitive” có thể dùng làm chủ từ cho các động từ appear, be, seem và các động từ nối khác (link verbs). Ex: - To solve the traffic problems seems impossible. Tuy nhiên, trong trường hợp này, chúng ta thường dùng cách nói bắt đầu bằng chủ từ giả (unreal subject) “It” và đặt “To-infinitive” ở sau câu: - It seems impossible to solve the traffic problems. 4. “To-infinitive” được dùng sau một số tính từ (adjective + To-infinitive), và thường dùng với cấu trúc “It is + adjective (for sb.) + To-infinitive”. Ex: - His explanations were difficult to understand. - Is it convenient for you to work in the evening? 5. “To-infinitive” cũng được dùng sau động từ “cost/take + túc từ”. Ex: - It'll cost a lot of money to make a trip around the world. - It would take many years to rebuild this ancient temple. 6. “To-infinitive” còn được dùng để giản lược mệnh đề quan hệ (reduce relatives), và dùng sau các từ “the first / the second / the last / the only (+ noun)”.

(Who was the first student who found out the answer?) 7. “To-infinitive” cũng được dùng để chỉ mục đích (To-infinitive for purposes). Trong cách dùng chỉ mục đích, chúng ta cũng có thể dùng các cách nói “in order to + infinitive” hoặc “so as to + infinitive” thay cho “To-infinitive”. Ex: - They borrowed the money from the bank in order to/so as to/ to buy a car. (They borrowed the money from the bank. They wanted to buy a car.) 8. “To-infinitive” được dùng sau “Too + adjective/adverb (for sb.)”. Ex: - This job is too hard for him to do. (This job is so hard that he can’t do it.) - He spoke too quickly for me to understand. (He spoke so quickly that I couldn’t understand him.) 9. “To-infinitive” được dùng sau “adjective/adverb + enough (for sb.)”. Ex: - The sea was warm enough for us to swim in. (The sea was warm, so we could swim in it.) - He didn’t speak slowly enough for me to understand. (He didn’t speak slowly, so I couldn’t understand him.) * Chú ý: Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng “enough + noun + To-infinitive”. Ex: - I didn’t have enough time to visit my relatives. (I didn’t visit my relatives because I didn’t have time.)

10. Verbs + how / what / when / where / which / why + To-infinitive: “To-infinitive” cũng được dùng sau một số động từ + how / what / when / where / which / why. Ex: - I don’t remember when to hand in the report. * Chú ý: Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng “whether + To-infinitive” sau “want to know” hoặc “wonder”. Ex: - She wanted to know whether to stay or leave. (Cô ta muốn biết là liệu có nên ở lại hoặc ra đi.) B. Infinitive without “To” “Bare infinitive” (động từ nguyên mẫu không “To”) thường được dùng trong các trường hợp sau: 1. “Bare infinitive” được dùng sau các trợ động từ “do / don’t / does / doesn’t / did / didn’t”, và sau các trợ động từ khiếm khuyết như “can / could / would / may / might / must/ should / ought to / would rather / had better”. Ex: - She doesn’t know where to go. 2. “Bare infinitive” được dùng sau động từ “Make/Let + object”. Ex: - The robber made the cashier hand over the money. - I’ll let you borrow my car if you promise to take good care of it. Khi động từ “Make” được dùng trong câu bị động, nó phải được theo sau bằng “To- infinitive”. Ex: - The cashier was made to hand over the money by the robber. * Chú ý: Sau “help” cũng có thể dùng “Bare infinitive”: - I’ll help you clean the floor. OR: I’ll help you to clean the floor. 3. “Bare infinitive” được dùng sau một số động từ chỉ giác quan như sau:

+ object + bare infinitive

see hear watch notice find feel

Gerund and Perfect gerund I. Gerund (Danh-động từ) là hình thức "Verb-ing", nhưng được dùng như danh từ. Có nghĩa là Gerund được dùng ở các vị trí mà danh từ có thể được dùng trong câu. Như vậy, Gerund có thể dùng: 1. Làm chủ từ (Subject): - Reading can help broaden your knowledge. 2. Làm Complement sau 'Be': - My hobby is cycling. 3. Theo sau một số động từ như là túc từ (Object): - She always avoids eating fatty food. 4. Theo sau giới từ: - Jane is very good at cooking. * Xem phần Grammar của Unit 3. II. Perfect gerund là hình thức "Having + past participle" được dùng khi nói đến sự việc xảy ra trong quá khứ. Chúng ta thường dùng "Perfect gerund" sau giới từ và sau động từ "deny". Ex: - My father congratulated me on having passed the final exam. - The man denied having robbed the bank. Tuy nhiên, hình thức Gerund bình thường cũng được thay cho "Perfect gerund", nhất là trong văn nói (spoken English). Ex:

24

- My father congratulated me on passing the final exam. B. Present participle and Perfect participle I. Present participle (Hiện-tại phân-từ) cũng là hình thức "Verb+ing", nhưng không được dùng như chức năng của danh từ; trái lại, Present participle vẫn manh chức năng của động từ và được dùng trong các trường hợp sau: 1. Dùng với các thì tiếp diễn (Continuous tenses): - The children are playing in the yard. 2. Dùng như tính từ để mô tả danh từ: - Boiling water turn to steam. 3. Dùng để giản lược mệnh đề quan hệ (Reducing relative clauses): - The woman answering my phone call was very polite. (The woman who answered my phone call was very polite.) 4. Dùng sau "động từ giác quan + túc từ" (Verbs + object + V-ing). Những động từ được dùng với cấu trúc này gồm có: "see, hear, feel, smeel, notice, watch" và các động từ: "catch, find". Ex: - I saw Mr. Norris driving past my house this morning. - I found the boy hiding behind the door. 5. Dùng sau các động từ "spend/waste + time"; sau động từ "go" và "be busy". Ex: - He spends an hour walking through the park every morning. - "Where's your wife?" "She's busy preparing dinner." - Kate goes shopping once a week. Chúng ta có thể dùng "go + V-ing" với các động từ sau: Go fishing / sailing / camping / hiking / jogging / skiing / shopping... 6. Dùng Present participle trong các "Participle phrases" (Cụm phân từ) để thay thế cho một mệnh đề trong các trường hợp sau: a. Khi hai hành động xảy ra liền nhay và cùng một chủ từ, chúng ta có thể dùng "Participle phrase" cho một trong hai hành động đó. Ex: (She took some money from her purse and threw it into the bowl.) - She took some money from her purse, throwing it into the bowl. Hoặc: - Taking some money from her purse, she threw it in to the bowl. b. Có thể dùng "Participle pharse" sau các liên từ: "when, while, after, before, ...". Ex: - He had a fight while eating in a restaurant. c. "Participle phrase" cũng được dùng để diễn tả lý do cho hành dộng trong mệnh đề chính. Ex: - Being rather busy, she completely forgot the time. (Because she was rather busy, she completely forgot the time.) d. "Participle phrase" cũng có hình thức "being + past participle" để diễn tả ý nghĩa bị động (passive) Ex: - Being treated by the best doctors, the patient recovered quickly. (Because he was treated by the best doctors, the patient recovered quickly.) II. Perfect participle có hình thức "Having + past participle" được dùng để thay thế cho một mệnh đề trong đó diễn tả một hành động đã hoàn tất trước khi hành động trong mệnh đề chính xảy ta. Ex: - Having spent two hours over dinner, they left the restaurant. (They had spent two hours over dinner before they left the restaurant.) Trong cấu trúc này, chúng ta cũng dùng hình thức "Having been + past participle" khi muốn diễn tả ý nghĩa bị động (passive).

Reported questions (Revision) Chúng ta phân biệt hai loại câu hỏi khi tường thuật: Wh-questions (câu hỏi bắt đầu bằng một từ để hỏi) và Yes-No questions (câu hỏi "Yes-No"). Sau đây là những điều cần lưu ý khi tường thuật câu hỏi: a. Chúng ta thường bắt đầu câu tường thuật bằng: He/ She asked (me) ...; hoặc: He/ She wondered ..., He/ She wanted to know ... b. Không dùng thể đảo-động-từ (Inversion) khi tường thuật câu hỏi. Nghĩa là không đặt động từ trước chủ từ như câu hỏi trực tiếp.

c. Đối với câu hỏi loại Wh-questions, chúng ta phải dùng lại từ để hỏi như: what, where, when, who, why, which, how, ... trong câu tường thuật.

d. Đối với câu hỏi loại Yes-No questions, chúng ta dùng "if" hoặc "whether" để mở đầu câu tường thuật. e. Không viết dấu chấm hỏi ở cuối câu hỏi khi tường thuật. f. Làm những thay đổi thì (Tenses) và cách nói thời gian (Time expressions) như khi tường thuật câu nói thông thường (Reported statements).

Hãy so sánh cách tường thuật hai loại câu hỏi trong bảng sau đây:

Type Direct questions Reported questions

Wh-Questions

He asked me how I went to work. She asked me how long I had been there. He asked me if I was architect. She asked me if I liked reading.

Yes-No Questions

"What are you looking for?" "Where did you stay?" "When is you birthday?" "Who will you go with?" "Why didn't you answer my letter?" "How do you go to work?" "How long have you been here?" "Are you an architect?" "Do you like reading?" "Did Mark give you my message?" He asked if Mark had given me his message. "Have you ever broken a bone?" "Will you be there this weekend, Maud?" "Can you drive?" "Were you sleeping at that time?" She asked if I had ever broken a bone. He asked Maud if she would be there that weekend. She asked if I could drive. They asked if I had been sleeping at that time.

B. Reported speech with gerund Chúng ta dùng Verbs + Gerund (Verb+ing) để tường thuật khi câu nói trực tiếp mang ý nghĩa đặc biệt. Có khá nhiều động từ được dùng để tường thuật theo cách này tùy theo ý nghĩa của câu nói trực tiếp. Sau đây là một số động từ thông dụng: 1. "Accuse somebody of doing something": Buộc tội ai về việc gì. Ex:

GRAMMAR A. Conditional type 1, 2 and 3 (Revision) Câu điều kiện (Conditional sentences) thường có hai phần: If-clause (mệnh đề If) và Main clause (mệnh đề chính). Câu điều kiện thường được chia làm ba loại: Type 1, Type 2, và Type 3. Chúng ta có thể tóm tắt cách dùng và cấu trúc của ba loại câu điều kiện như sau:

FORM [If-clause: Present tenses] + [Main clause: will/ can/ may/ must + bare infinitive] TYPE 1

[If-clause: Past simple] + [Main clause: would/ could/ might + bare infinitive] TYPE 2 USE Chúng ta dùng câu điều kiện loại 1 để diễn tả hành động hoặc tình huống có thể xảy ra trong hiện tại hoặc tương lai. Chúng ta dùng câu điều kiện loại 2 để diễn tả hành động hoặc tình huống không có thật và EXAMPLE - If I find your key, I'll phone you. - If you don't set your alarm clock, you'll oversleep. - I won't wait for you if you're late. - If I had a car, I would give you a lift. - What would you do if you suddenly saw a U.F.O?

34

[If-clause: Past perfect] + [Main clause: would/ could/ might have + past participle]

- If I had seen him, I would have warned him. - He wouldn't have got angry if you had spoken more politely. TYPE 3

không thể xảy ra trong hiện tại hoặc tương lai. Chúng ta dùng câu điều kiện loại 3 để diễn tả hành động hoặc tình huống giả định. Các hành động hoặc tình huống này đã không xảy ra hoặc đã xảy ra theo một cách khác trong quá khứ.

* Những điểm cần lưu ý khi dùng câu điều kiện: I. Conditional type 1: 1. Ngoài thì hiện tại đơn (Present simple), chúng ta cũng có thể dùng thì hiện tại tiếp diễn (Present continuos) hoặc thì hiện tại hoàn thành (Present perfect) trong mệnh đề "If". Ex: - If you're waiting for the manager, he'll be here in fifteen minutes. - If you've finished your homework, you can go out. 2. Chúng ta có thể dùng câu yêu cầu với Imperative hoặc với "should" và "had better" trong mệnh đề chính. Ex: - If you need help, please let me know! - If you're tired, you should take a rest. - If you know anything about the accident, you'd better phone the police. 3. Chúng ta có thể dùng thì hiện tại đơn (Present simple) trong mệnh đề chính khi nói về tình huống xảy ra một cách tự động (automatic) thường xuyên theo thói quen (habitual), loại câu điều kiện này được gọi là "The Zero Conditional". Ex: - If water is colder than 0o Celsius, it freezes. II. Conditional type 2 1. Chúng ta thường dùng cách nói "If I were you ..." để cho lời khuyên. Ex: If I were you, I would never believe him. * Chú ý: Chúng ta thường dùng "were" đối với động từ "be" cho tất cả các ngôi trong câu điều kiện loại 2. Hình thức "was" cũng có thể được dùng với chủ từ số ít, nhưng được xem là cách dùng bình dân trong văn nói (informal). Do đó, tốt nhất là dùng "were" khi viết và nói. 2. Chúng ta dùng "might" trong mệnh đề chính khi diễn tả ý nghĩa "có lẽ", và dùng "could" khi diễn tả ý nghĩa "có khả năng". Ex: - If you sent your application, they might accept you. - If I knew her address, I could write to her. 3. Chúng ta có thể dùng "were + to-infinitive" trong mệnh đề "If" để nhấn mạnh ý không thể xảy ra. Ex: If I were to win one million dollars, I'd give up my job. III. Conditional type 3 Ngoài "would have + past participle" chúng ta cũng có thể dùng "might have + past participle" trong mệnh đề chings để diễn tả ý nghĩa "có lẽ đã xảy ra", và dùng "could have + past participle" với ý nghĩa "có khả năng xảy ra". Ex: - If you have applied for the job, you might have got it. - If you had asked him, he could have helped you. IV. Dùng cách đảo ngữ (Inversion) thay cho mệnh đề “If-clause”

35

Chúng ta có thể dùng cách đảo động từ ra trước chủ ngữ (“đảo ngữ” = inversion) thay cho mệnh đề “If- clause” khi muốn nhấn mạnh. Cách đảo động từ có thể được dùng với cả 3 loại câu điều kiện. Type 1: “Should + subject + bare infinitive”

- Should you know anything about the murder, phone the police. (If you know anything about the murder, ...) Type 2: “Were + subject + to-infinitive”

- Were I to fly in a spaceship, I would be extremely excited. (If I were to fly in a spaceship, ...) Type 3: “Had + subject + past participle”

- Had I heard about his trouble, I would have come to help him. (If I had heard about his trouble, ...) V. "Unless" có thể được dùng với ý nghĩa "If ... not":

Unless he works harder, he'll fail the exams. (If he doesn't work harder, he'll fail the exams.)

VI. Câu điều kiện pha trộn (mixed type): Câu điều kiện pha trộn có 2 loại cấu trúc như sau: 1.

If you hadn't stayed up too late last night, you wouldn’t feel so tired now. Past perfect + Main clause: would/ could + bare infinitive Chúng ta dùng loại câu pha trộn này khi muốn giả định một tình huống xảy ra trong quá khứ, nhưng kết quả lại xảy ra trong hiện tại. Ex: Tình huống thật: You stayed up too late last night, so you feel tired now. Giả định: 2. Past simple + Main clause: would/ could have + past participle

If she loved him, she would have agreed to marry him.

"If I get more information, I'll let you know", Kurt said to me.

"If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't go to work", Carol said.

Loại câu này được dùng khi chúng ta muốn nói về một hành động đã xảy ra trong quá khứ, nhưng điều kiện vẫn tồn tại trong hiện tại. Ex: Tình huống thật: She doesn’t love him, so she didn’t agree to marry him. Giả định: B. Conditional in reported speech Khi tường thuật câu điều kiện, chúng ta cần chú ý những điểm sau: 1. Tường thuật câu điều kiện loại 1: Thay đổi thì của động từ và làm những thay đổi cần thiết khác như thay đổi đại từ và thời gian. Ex: Direct: Reported: Kurt said if he got more information he would let me know. 2. Tường thuật câu điều kiện loại 2: Không thay đổi thì của động từ, nhưng vẫn làm những thay đổi cần thiết khác.

GRAMMAR

A). Pronoun “one/ ones” B). someone, anyone, no one, everyone A). Pronoun “one/ones” 1). Chúng ta có thể dùng “one” (cho số ít) và “ones” (cho số nhiều) như những đại từ bất định (indefinite pronouns) thay thế cho một danh từ đi trước trong câu. Ví dụ:

Customer: “I’d like a bottle of mineral water, please.” Shop-assistant: “Which one? A big one or a small one, sir?” Customer: “A big one, please.” Trong đoạn đối thoại trên, đại từ “one” được dùng để khỏi phải lặp lại cụm từ “a bottle of mineral water”.

2). Chúng ta có thể dùng “one” hoặc “ones” theo sau hầu hết các tính từ: như tính từ màu sắc (red, blue, green, black, white,….), tính từ chỉ kích cỡ (large, small, long, short,…), hoặc các tính từ khác (expensive, cheap, old, new,…). Ví dụ:

- These blouses are all nice, but I’d like the red one. (“the red one” = the red blouse) - I didn’t buy a calculator. They only had expensive ones. (“expensive ones” = expensive calculators) - “Which is your toothbrush?” - “The soft one.” (“The soft one” = the soft toothbrush) - We threw away the old curtains and bought some new ones. (“some new ones” = some new curtains) 3). Chúng ta có thể dùng “one/ones” sau các từ: “this, that, these, those”; sau: “which”; sau: “the”; hoặc sau: “every, each, another”. Ví dụ:

- Which is your suitcase, Madam? This one or that one over there? (“This one” = This suitcase; “that one” = that suitcase) - These flowers are fresh, but those ones are nicer. (“Those ones” = those flowers) - He has three cars. Each one has its own chauffeur. (“Each one” = each car; trong câu này chúng ta có thể bỏ “one”) 4). Không dùng “one” trong các trường hợp sau: a). Không dùng “one” sau mạo từ “a” khi không có tính từ đi kèm. Ví dụ:

- Whenever you need a phone box, you can never find one. (“one” = a phone box; không thể nói: “a one”) - “You have so many pens.” “Well. You can take one if you want.” (“one” = a pen; không thể nói: “a one”) b). Không dùng “one” để thay thế danh từ không-đếm-được (uncountable nouns). Thay vào đó, chúng ta chỉ cần dùng tính từ mà thôi, nếu không muốn lặp lại danh từ. Ví dụ:

- There was no hot water. I had to wash in cold. (“cold” = cold water; không thể nói: “cold one”)

5). Chúng ta cũng dùng “one” như một đại từ nhân xưng (personal pronoun) với ý nghĩa “người ta” nói chung (“one” = people in general, including you and me). Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng sở-hữu-cách: one’s.

Ví dụ: - One can drive a car in Britain when one is 17 years old. (“One” = people) - One can easily lose one’s way in Paris. (“One” = people, including you and me)

41

B). someone, anyone, no one, everyone 1). Thông thường chúng ta dùng “someone/somebody” trong câu khẳng định; và “anyone/anybody” trong câu phủ định và câu hỏi.

Ví dụ: - There’s someone waiting for you at the gate. - Don’t worry! Somebody will help you with this! - Do you know anyone who’s interested in buying my house? - I went to her party, but I didn’t know anybody there. Chúng ta cũng dùng “anyone/anybody” trong mệnh đề “If-clause”. Ví dụ: - If you find anyone trying to get into this place, phone the police immediately. 2). Chúng ta có thể dùng “someone/somebody” trong câu hỏi khi nó có ý nghĩa của lời yêu cầu hoặc đề nghị (a request or offer).

Ví dụ: - Would you like someone to drive you home? - Shall I ask someone to help you with this? 3). Tất cả các từ “someone, anyone, no one, everyone” đều có ý nghĩa “số ít” và dùng với động từ số ít.

Ví dụ: - Someone is responsible for this mistake. - No one was in the office yesterday morning. - Everyone has to write an essay. 4). Chúng ta thường dùng các đại từ “they, them, their” để thay thế cho các từ “someone, anyone, no one, everyone”.

Ví dụ: - Somebody forgot to lock the door, didn’t they? (“they” được dùng thay thế cho “somebody”) - If anyone phones me when I’m out, tell them I’ll phone them back later on. (“them” được dùng thay thế cho “anyone”) - Look! Someone has left their bag on this seat. (“their” được dùng thay thế cho “someone”) - Everyone was asked what they thought. (“they” được dùng thay thế cho “everyone”) - Everybody was doing their best to help. (“their” được dùng thay thế cho “everybody”)

CHÚ Ý: Người ta cũng có thể dùng các đại từ nhân xưng “he, she, him, her, his” để thay thế cho “someone, anyone, ….” nhưng không thông dụng lắm.

Ví dụ: - Someone left her/ their handbag behind. 5). Chúng ta có thể dùng tính từ hoặc từ “else” (= cái khác, người khác) theo sau “someone, anyone, no one, everyone”.

Ví dụ: - We need someone strong to move the piano. (NOT: We need strong someone …..) - Do you know anyone reliable to work with? (NOT: Do you know reliable anyone ….) - The bus hit a lamp-post, but there was no one injured. (NOT: …. There was injured no one.) - Kate avoids seeing James. She often goes out with someone else these days. (“someone else” = another person) 6). Chúng ta có thể dùng sở-hữu-cách [‘] sau “someone, anyone, no one, everyone”. Ví dụ: - Somebody’s car is blocking the road.

42

- This is nobody’s fault. - We need everyone’s name and address. 7). Chúng ta cũng dùng các từ “something, anything, nothing, everything” và “somewhere, anywhere, nowhere, everywhere” tương tự các cách dùng của “someone, anyone,…”. Nhưng ý nghĩa những từ tận cùng “thing” chỉ cho vật; và các từ tận cùng “where” chỉ nơi chốn.

Ví dụ: - There’s something in my eye. I can’t see very well. (something = a thing) - Everything is so expensive these days. (everything = all things) - Everywhere was crowded. (everywhere = all (the) places) - Shall we go somewhere quiet this summer? (somewhere quiet = a quiet place)

GRAMMAR

A) Defining relative clauses B) Non-defining relative clauses

Chúng ta có thể phân biệt hai loại mệnh đề quan hệ khác nhau: mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (defining relative clauses) và mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định (non-defining relative clauses) A) Defining relative clauses (Revision) Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (Ôn tập)

Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định được dùng để chỉ rõ người nào hoặc vật nào mà người nói muốn đề cập. Do đó, mệnh đề quan hệ xác định không thể thiếu trong câu, vì nếu không có nó thì câu sẽ không có nghĩa. Ex: The driver who caused the accident is being questioned by the police. The picture which was stolen yesterday is worth millions of dollars. CHÚ Ý: * Chúng ta không dùng dấu phẩy trước và sau mệnh đề quan hệ xác định. * Chúng ta có thể dùng tất cả các đại từ quan hệ như WHO, WHOM, WHICH, THAT, WHOSE, WHERE, và WHEN với loại mệnh đề xác định. Ex: I like books that have happy endings. Mr. Nam is the teacher whose lectures we’ve always enjoyed. This is the village where my father was born and brought up. He phoned us at a time when everyone was asleep. B) Non- defining relative clauses (Revision) Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định (Ôn tập) 1) Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định được dùng để cho thêm thông tin, khi mà mệnh đề chính đã đầy đủ ý nghĩa. Loại mệnh đề này thường được tách biệt với mệnh đề chính bằng các dấu phẩy. Ex: Pablo Picasso, who died in 1973, was a painter and sculptor. 2) Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định thường được dùng sau tên riêng, hoặc với các danh từ theo sau “this, that, these, those”, hoặc sau các tính từ sở hữu “my, your, his, her, its, our, their” Ex: Mr. Dan, who is now teaching us physics, has written several books. This company, which makes domestic appliances, was founded 20 years ago. My cousin, who has just passed the final exam, is going to study abroad. 3) Chúng ta không dùng THAT trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định. Ex: Mr. Gibson, who served us last night, is the owner of the restaurant. (WRONG: Mr. Gibson, that served us last night, is …….) 4) Chúng ta không thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ trong mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định. Ex: Mai, whom you saw this morning, is my cousin. (WRONG: Mai, you saw this morning, is my cousin.)

Before the use of adhesive paper stamps, letters were hand stamped or postmarked with ink. Postmarks were the invention of Henry Bishop and were at first called “Bishop mark” after the inventor. Bishop marks were first used in 1661 at the London General Post Office. They marked the day and month the letter was mailed.

A schoolmaster from England, Rowland Hill invented the adhesive postage stamp in 1837, an act for which he was knighted. Through his efforts, the first stamp in the world, the Penny Black, was issued in England on May 6th , 1840. The Penny Black was engraved the profile of Queen Victoria’s head, who remained on all British stamps for the next sixty years. Roland Hill also created first uniform postage rates that were based on weight rather than size. Hill’s stamps made the prepayment of mail postage possible and practical. * Write ‘T’ if the sentence is true. Write ‘F’ if the sentence is not true. 1.

Relative pronouns with prepositions (Đại từ quan hệ với các giới từ) 1). Khi kết hợp hai mệnh đề mà trong đó đại từ quan hệ thay cho một từ đứng sau giới từ, chúng ta có các cách làm khác nhau. Ví dụ: * (Karen is the schoolgirl. I told you about her.) a). Karen is the schoolgirl I told you about. b). Karen is the schoolgirl who/that/whom I told you about. c). Karen is the schoolgirl about whom I told you. (WRONG: Karen is the schoolgirl about who/ that I told you.) Trong câu (c), chỉ dùng “whom” sau giới từ “about”. Không dùng “who” hoặc “that” sau giới từ. * (The topic is Chinese cookery. Marian is interested in it.) a). The topic Marian is interested in is Chinese cookery. b). The topic that/ which Marian is interested in is Chinese cookery. c). The topic in which Marian is interested is Chinese cookery. Trong câu (c), chỉ dùng “which” sau giới từ “in”. Dùng “that” sau giới từ là sai. 2). Chúng ta cũng dùng “preposition + relative pronoun” sau dấu phẩy trong loại mệnh đề không xác định (Non-defining relative clauses). Ví dụ: - Mr. Reese, to whom we sent the letter, hasn’t given us his reply. (Or: Mr. Reese, whom we sent the letter to, hasn’t given us his reply.) - I’d like you to see my new laptop, for which I paid $2,300.

Ví dụ: * (They have four children. All of them are married.) - They have four children, all of whom are married. * (We’ve taken many tests. Most of them were difficult.) - We’ve taken many tests, most of which were difficult. Những từ chỉ số lượng sau đây có thể dùng với “of whom / which”: all/most/some/a few/many/much of whom none/ neither/any/ either of which both/ half/each/one/two/three, … Các ví dụ khác: a) (Two men came to visit me. I had met neither of them before.)

- Two men, neither of whom I had met before, came to visit me. b) (He had three cars. One of them was made in Japan.) - He had three cars, one of which was made in Japan.) 4).

Ví dụ: - The presidents of several countries are attending the meeting, the purpose of which is to strengthen the relationship between their countries. (which = the meeting) - The end of the war, the anniversary of which is on 30th April, has been commemorated throughout the country.

Relative clauses replaced by participles or to-infinitive

A). Relative clauses replaced by participles Thay thế mệnh đề quan hệ bằng các phân từ Chúng ta có thể thay thế mệnh đề quan hệ với “who, which, that” bằng cách dùng hiện tại phân từ “Verb+ing” (present participle) hoặc quá khứ phân từ “Verb+ed” (past participle). Cách dùng này cũng còn được gọi là cách giản lược mệnh đề quan hệ (Reduction of relative clauses) 1). Relatives replaced by present participles: Chúng ta dùng hiện tại phân từ “Verb+ing” để thay thế mệnh đề quan hệ khi động từ trong mệnh đề có ý nghĩa chủ động (active). Ví dụ: - The man talking to the teacher is my father. (The man who is talking to the teacher is my father) - A lorry carrying concrete pipes overturned and hit two cars. (A lorry which was carrying concrete pipes overturned and hit two cars) CHÚ Ý:

63

a). Chúng ta có thể dùng “Verb+ing” thay thế cho động từ tiếp diễn (continuous verbs) hiện tại và quá khứ như trong các ví dụ trên; hoặc cho các động từ chỉ về trạng thái (state verbs) hiện tại hoặc quá khứ. Ví dụ: - All the roads leading to the city center were crowded. (All the roads that led to the city center were crowded.) - All the equipment belonging to the club is insured. (All the equipment which belongs to the club is insured.) - Fans wanting to buy tickets started queuing early. (Fans who wanted to buy tickets started queuing early.) b). Chúng ta có thể dùng “Verb+ing” thay thế cho hành động lặp lại nhiều lần, hoặc thói quen. Ví dụ: - Students preparing for their exams usually stay up late last night. (Students who prepare for their exams usually stay up late last night.) - People traveling to the city center in rush hours are used to the traffic jams. (People who travel to the city center in rush hours are used to the traffic jams.) c). Chúng ta không thể dùng “Verb+ing” thay thế cho một hành động riêng lẻ xảy ra trong quá khứ. Thay vào đó, chúng ta phải dùng mệnh đề quan hệ đầy đủ với “who, which, that”. Ví dụ: - The people who saw the accident are reporting to the police. (WRONG: The people seeing the accident are reporting to the police.) - The gang who stole the jewels got away. (WRONG: The gang stealing the jewels got away.) - The plane which crashed had taken off at Heathrow Airport. (WRONG: The plane crashing had taken off at Heathrow Airport.) Trong ba câu trên, các động từ “who saw, who stole” và “which crashed” là những hành động riêng

lẻ quá khứ, chứ không diễn tả sự lặp lại hoặc thói quen; do đó không thể dùng “Verb+ing” thay thế. 2). Relatives replaced by past participles: Chúng ta có thể dùng quá khứ phân từ để giản lược mệnh đề quan hệ khi động từ trong mệnh đề có ý nghĩa bị động (passive). Trong trường hợp này, chúng ta thường chỉ cần bỏ bớt “who/which/that + be”. Ví dụ: - The book published last week is her first novel. (The book which was published last week is her first novel.) - President Kennedy was murdered by a man called Lee Oswald. (President Kennedy was murdered by a man who was called Lee Oswald.) - Stones thrown at the train by vandals smashed many windows. (Stones which were thrown at the train by vandals smashed many windows.) Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng “being + past participle” để giản lược mệnh đề quan hệ khi động từ được dùng với thì bị động tiếp diễn. Ví dụ: - The skyscraper being built has been designed by a French architect. (The skyscraper which is being built has been designed by a French architect.) - The prisoners being released are all women.

(The prisoners who are being released are all women.) B). Relatives replaced by to-infinitive Thay thế mệnh đề quan hệ bằng “ to-infinitive” Chúng ta cũng có thể giản lược mệnh đề quan hệ với “who, which, that” bằng cách dùng “ to- infinitive”. Cách giản lược này có thể được thực hiện trong các trường hợp sau: 1). Dùng “ to-infinitive” để giản lược “who, which, that” sau các từ “the first, the second,…., the last, the only”. Ví dụ: - Andrew was the only student to give the correct answer. (Andrew was the only student who gave the correct answer.) - Who was the last person to see the man alive? (Who was the last person that saw the man alive?) - New Zealand was the first country to give women the vote.

64

(New Zealand was the first country that gave women the vote.) - Alice was the second applicant to be interviewed. (Alice was the second applicant who was interviewed.) 2). Dùng “to-infinitive” để giản lược “who, which, that” sau tính từ so sánh nhất + danh từ (superlative+ noun). Ví dụ: - William Pitt was the youngest person to become Prime Minister. (William Pitt was the youngest person who became Prime Minister.) - Mr. Forbes was the oldest man to fly a balloon. (Mr. Forbes was the oldest man who flew a balloon.) - Ryan Giggs is the most famous footballer to play on this ground. (Ryan Giggs is the most famous footballer who has played on this ground.) 3). Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng “to-infinitive” để thay thế khi mệnh đề quan hệ có ý nghĩa chỉ mục đích hoặc sự cho phép (purpose or permission). Ví dụ: - I think she had something to say. (I think she had something that she wanted to say. ) - I can’t go out now. I have a lot of work to do. (I have a lot of work that I must do.) - The children really need a garden to play in. (The children really need a garden which they can play in.) EXERCISES EXERCISE 1: Complete the following definitions. Put in the present or past participle of one of these verbs.

The employees work in this office are able to speak at least two foreign languages. A B C D IV. Read the passage and do the exercise below.

Energy from the sun is called solar energy. It comes in the form of light or heat. Solar energy is what makes you feel hot when you sit in the sunlight. People have used solar energy for thousands of years. Houses were built with windows so that sunlight can get inside and provide heat. The sun’s energy can also be used to heat water and even food. If you own a magnifying glass, your parents have probably warned you about leaving it the sun. Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it, causing a fire. This type of energy from the sun in the form of heat is called solar thermal energy.

We can also turn sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels. Solar panels are made up for a material called silicon. The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers. When the sunlight hits the solar panel, the electrons (tiny particles) in the silicon move and flow through wires built into the solar panel. Using this technology, we can run a calculator and even power cars. * Answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. Why should we not leave a magnifying glass in the sun? …………………………………………………………….. 2. What do people call the energy coming from the sun in the form of heat? …………………………………………………………………………….. 3.

A). Relative clauses (general revision) B). Omission of relative pronouns A). Relative clauses (general revision)

Mệnh đề quan hệ (ôn tổng quát) Mệnh đề quan hệ thường được kết nối bằng các đại từ quan hệ (Relative pronouns) khác nhau, tùy theo ý nghĩa của mỗi câu. Chúng ta có thể tóm tắt cách dùng các đại từ quan hệ như sau:

Used for (Dùng cho) Examples (Ví dụ) People Relative (Đại từ) WHO

WHICH Things and animals Used as (Dùng như) Subject and object Subject and object

Reason Adverb of time Reason WHY

WHAT The things which Subject and object - She didn’t give us the reason why she was absent from class yesterday. - What we found was a box full of old coins. - What I want now is a cup of coffee.

CHÚ Ý: Cách dùng đặc biệt của “which”: Chúng ta có thể dùng “which” sau dấu phẩy để thay thế cho cả một ý tưởng trong mệnh đề đi trước nó. Ví dụ: - They had to wait for an hour, which annoyed them very much. (“which” thay thế cho cả câu “They had to wait for an hour”.) - He suddenly shouted at me, which made me very upset. (“which” thay thế cho cả câu “He suddenly shouted at me”.) - Carol helped us clear up, which was very good of her. (“which” thay thế cho cả câu “Carol helped us clear up”.) B). Omission of relative pronouns Lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ 1). Khi đại từ quan hệ “who/whom/which/that” được dùng như túc từ (object), chúng ta có thể lược bỏ nó. Cách dùng này được gọi là “Zero relative”. Ví dụ: - The woman you met yesterday was my aunt Laura. (The woman who/ whom/ that you met yesterday was my aunt Laura) - The doctor I spoke to told me not to worry. (The doctor who/ whom/ that I spoke to told me not to worry.) - The mistake I made was fortunately not very serious. (The mistake that/ which I made was fortunately not very serious. - The jacket Bob always wears was a gift from his uncles. (The jacket that/ which Bob always wears was a gift from his uncles. 2). Chúng ta không thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ khi nó làm chủ ngữ (subject); có nghĩa là nó đứng trước động từ chính trong câu. Ví dụ: - The doctor who/ that treated me told me not to worry. (WRONG: The doctor treated me told me not to worry.) - The woman who told you about your mistake was very kind. (WRONG: The woman told you about your mistake was very kind. 3). Chúng ta cũng không thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ khi nó đứng sau dấu phẩy (nghĩa là trong mệnh đề không xác định), mặc dù nó làm túc từ (object). Ví dụ: - Mr. Walker, whom I invited to dinner, didn’t come. (WRONG: Mr. Walker, I invited to dinner, didn’t come.) - This watch, which I bought ten years ago, has always kept accurate time. (WRONG: This watch, I bought ten years ago, has always kept accurate time. 4). Chúng ta cũng không thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ “whom/which” khi dùng nó theo sau giới từ. Ví dụ: - The people with whom I went on holiday were very kind. - Astronomy is a subject about which I know very little. EXERCISES EXERCISE 1: Join each idea in A with the most suitable idea in B using “which”. A B

a). It means he can’t get about very easily. b). It’s made her very depressed. c). That was very rude of him. 1. Jerry didn’t answer my letter. 2. It poured with rain all day. 3. My cousin is disabled.

Cleft sentences + Subject focus + Object focus + Adverbial focus

Cleft sentence là cách dùng “it + be + phần nhấn mạnh + mệnh đề quan hệ” để nhấn mạnh. Ví dụ: Cách nói bình thường (Neutral) Cách nói nhấn mạnh (Emphatic)

a). It was Tracy that/ who gave me this book (not Mary). b). It’s The TV program that gives me a headache (not your music). c). It’s English grammar (that) I’m studying (not English vocabulary). d). It was on Friday that Sarah’s husband died (not Thursday or Saturday). a). Tracy gave me this book b). The TV program gives me a headache. c). I’m studying English grammar. d). Sarah’s husband died on Friday.

CHÚ Ý: 1). Trong loại câu Cleft sentences, đại từ “that” thường được dùng nhiều hơn là “who” hoặc “which”. 2). Đại từ “that” có thể làm chủ từ như trong câu (a) và (b); trong trường hợp này câu Cleft sentence được gọi là “Subject focus”. Khi thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người và làm chủ từ trong câu, chúng ta có thể dùng “who” thay vì “that” như trong câu (a). Nhưng khi “that” làm chủ từ thay cho vật, chúng ta thường không thể dùng “which” thay cho “that”. 3). “That” cũng làm túc từ như trong câu (c); trong trường hợp này câu Cleft sentence được gọi là “Object focus”. Lưu ý rằng chúng ta có thể lược bỏ “that” khi nó làm túc từ trong câu. Ví dụ:

- It’s English grammar I’m studying.

4). “That” cũng được dùng thay thế cho cụm- trạng- từ (Adverbial phrases) chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn hoặc mục đích như trong câu (d); trong trường hợp này câu Cleft sentence được gọi là “Adverbial focus”. Lưu ý rằng mặc dù “where” hoặc “when” có thể được dùng, nhưng chúng ta vẫn thường dùng “that” khi thay thế cho cụm-trạng-từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn hoặc mục đích (không thể dùng “why” và “how” trong câu Cleft sentence). Các ví dụ khác: *Subject focus: - It’s speed that causes accidents, not bad roads. - It was Claire that/who phoned you last night. *Object focus: - It was wine that we ordered, not beer. (Or: It was wine we ordered, not beer.) - It’s the manager that I want to see, not the secretary. ( Or: It’s the manager I want to see, not the secretary.) *Adverbial focus: - It was to show her how much I cared for her that I bought her the necklace. (Adverbial phrase of purpose = Cụm-trạng-từ chỉ mục đích) - It was at this corner that the accident happened. (Adverbial phrase of place = Cụm-trạng-từ chỉ nơi chốn) - It’s only in the winter that it gets really cold. (Adverbial phrase of time = Cụm-trạng-từ chỉ thời gian) 5). Chúng ta cũng có thể dùng loại câu Cleft sentence bắt đầu bằng “What” hoặc “All” để nhấn mạnh. Lưu ý rằng “What” có ý nghĩa “The thing that” và “All” có ý nghĩa “The only thing that”, do đó không thể dùng thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người.

Ví dụ: - What I need is your help, not your sympathy. (The thing that I need is your help, not your sympathy.) - What we want is quality, not quantity. (The thing that we want is quality, not quantity.) - All I need is $20. (= I only need $20.) EXERCISES EXERCISE 1: Rewrite the sentences to focus attention on the underlined information using the cleft sentence “it + be + a relative”. 1. J K Rowling wrote Rabbit when she was six years old.

A B C D IV. Read the passage and do the exercise below.

My hobby is reading. I read story books, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting. This hobby got started when I was a little boy. I had always wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me. Soon they fed up and tired of having to read to me continually. Therefore, as soon as I could, I learned to read. I started with simple ABC books. Soon I could read simple fairy tales and other stories. Now I read just about anything that is available.

84

Reading enables me to learn about so many things that I would otherwise not know. I learned about how people lived in bygone days of magic and mystery. I learned about the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements, gigantic whales, tiny viruses and other fascinating things of our world.

The wonderful thing about reading is that I do not have to learn things the hard way. For example, I do not have to catch a disease to know that it can kill me. I know the danger so I can avoid it. Also I do not have to go deep into the jungle to learn about the tiger. I can read all about it in a book.

Books provide the reader with so much information and facts. They have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better equipped to cope with living. Otherwise, I would go about ignorantly learning things the hard way. So I continue to read. Besides being more informed about the world, I also spend my time profitably. It is indeed a good hobby. * Answer the following questions in complete sentences. 1. How did the author start to learn to read books? ………………………………………………….. 2. What is the wonderful thing about reading according to the author? ……………………………………………………………………… 3. How can he learn about the tiger without going into the jungle? ……………………………………………………………………. 4.

Her latest ____ of short stories was received with great enthusiasm.(collect) 6. We are full of ____ for your hard work. (admire) VI. Finish the second sentence so that it has the same meaning as the first one. 1. Qatar was the country where the 15th Asian Games were held. It was in ………………………………………………………. 2.

GRAMMAR A. “Can, could, be able to”: 1. “Can”: Chúng ta thường dùng ‘can+ bare infinitive’để diễn tả ‘một việc khả năng xảy ra’ hoặc ‘một người có khả năng làm gì’ trong hiện tại hoặc trong tương lai Ví dụ: I can see you tomorrow afternoon, not tomorrow morning . Chú ý: hình thức phủ định (negative forrm) ‘can’ là ‘can’t’ hoặc ‘cannot’ Ví dụ: I can’t/cannot cook, so we should eat out. Chúng ta cũng dùng ‘can’ với ý nghĩa ‘cho phép hoặc được phép làm gì’ Ví dụ: You can go out if you’ve finished your work 2. “Could” là hình thức quá khứ của ‘can’ thường dùng để nói về khả năng nói chung trong quá khứ. Ví dụ: she could sing very well when she was a child. 3. “Be able to+ infinitive” được dùng để nói rằng ‘một người nào đó có khả năng làm gì’, tương tự như ‘can+bare infinitive’ Ví dụ:Are you able to type 80 words a minute? Chú ý: trong tiếng Anh đàm thoại thông dụng (informal English) người ta tường dùng ‘can’ hơn là ‘be able to’ 4. Tuy nhiên, ‘can’ chỉ có hình thức hiện tại và hình thức quá khứ là ‘could’. Vậy nên trong một số trường hợp chúng ta phải dùng ‘be able to’ khi diễn tả khả năng.

86

* Diễn tả khả năng với ‘To-infinitive’: It’s difficult to be able to speak English flutently (NOT: it’s difficult English flutently) - His English is not verry good enough to be able to study able to study abroad * diễn tả khả năng sau các động từ khiếm khuyết - You must be able to make yourself understood in English. (NOT: You yourself understood in English) * diễn tả khả năng với thì hiện tại hoàn thành (present perfect); - How long have you been able to drive? (NOT: How long?) Chú ý: khi diễn tả khả năng trong tương lai, chúng ta có thể dùng ‘will be able to’ hoặc ‘can’ Ví dụ: I’ll be able to meet you tomorrow after class. 5. ‘Could’ và ‘was/were able to’: chúng ta có thể dùng ‘could’ hoặc ‘was/were able to’ khi nói về một khả năng tổng quát trong quá khứ. Ví dụ: Lisa could play/ was able to play the piano when she was. Tuy nhiên khi nói về khả năng đối với một hành động xảy ra riêng biệt chỉ một lần (particular

action) trong quá khứ, chúng ta không thể dùng ‘could’ mà chỉ dùng ‘was/were able to’ Ví dụ: The car suddenly caught fine, but they were able to escape from it. (trong trường hợp này, không thể dùng ‘they could escape from it they were able to escape’ đồng nghĩa với’ they manager to escape’ hoặc ‘they succeeded in escaping.) - He was able to get job although he didn’t have enough qualification. (NOT: He could get the job.., ‘he was able to get’ = he succeeded in getting or he managed to get’) Trong câu phủ định và câu hỏi (negative sentence and question), cả hai dùng ‘could’ và

‘was/were able to’ đều có thể được dùng như nhau mà không thay đổi ý nghĩa. Ví dụ: The weather was awful, so I couldn’t go/ wasn’t able to go sailing. Chúng ta cũng thường dùng ‘could’ (hơn là dùng ‘was/were able to’) đối với những động từ

chỉ giác quan (see, hear,…) và những động từ chỉ hoạt động trí tuệ (understand, remember,…) Ví dụ: I could smell something burning when I came into the kitchen. B. Question tags (câu hỏi đuôi): * Quy tắc: Câu phát biểu là khẳng định thì câu hỏi đuôi sẽ là phủ định và ngược lại. Cụ thể:

- Vế đằng trước là (+) thì phần đuôi là (-). Ex: You play the guitar, don’t you ?

- Vế đằng trước là (-) thì phần đuôi là (+). Ex: You didn’t do your homework, did you?

* Ví dụ về câu hỏi đuôi với các thì:

Thì Động từ “To be” Động từ thường

- He is handsome, isn't he? - They like me, don't they? - You aren't studying, are you? Hiện tại đơn, hiện tại tiếp diễn - She doesn't love you, does she? - I am late, aren't I?

- He was reading, wasn't he? - He didn't come here, did he? Quá khứ đơn, quá khứ tiếp

- They weren't surprised, were they? - You came late, did you? diễn

87

- She will be loved, won't she?

- It won't rain, will it? Thì tương lai đơn

- We shall go out tonight, shan't we?

- He hasn't been here all week, has he? Hiện tại hoàn thành, Hiện tại - They have left, haven't they? hoàn thành tiếp diễn - She has studied well, hasn't she?

- They had been working hard, hadn't they? Quá khứ hoàn thành, Quá

- He hadn't met you before, had he? khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn

* Một số lưu ý quan trọng về cách chuyển đuôi:

1. Ở phần câu hỏi đuôi phủ định, ta bắt buộc phải dùng dạng viết tắt, không được dùng ‘not’.

Ex: You are a student, aren't you? (không dùng “are not you”?

2. Câu hỏi đuôi của “I am” là “aren’t I”.

Ex: I am going to do it again, aren't I?

3. Đối với câu mệnh lệnh, thì câu hỏi đuôi sẽ là “will + you”

Ex: Close the door, will you?

4. Câu giới thiệu dùng “Let’s + V-inf”, câu hỏi đuôi là “shall we”

Ex: Let's go for a picnic, shall we?

Tuy nhiên, Let me do …, will you?

5. Chủ ngữ là "nothing, anything, everything, something ..." thì câu hỏi đuôi dùng "it".

Ex: Everything is ok, isn't it?

6. Chủ ngữ là những đại từ bất định: "everyone, someone, anyone, no one, nobody ...". câu hỏi đuôi

là "they".

Ex: Somebody wanted a drink, didn't they?

7. Trong câu có các trạng từ phủ định và bán phủ định như: "never, seldom, hardly, scarely, little …;

nothing, nobody, no one ... " thì phần hỏi đuôi sẽ ở dạng khẳng định.

Ex: He seldom drinks wine, does he?

You hardly call each other, do you?

8. Chủ ngữ là "this, that", dùng "it" trong câu hỏi đuôi. Chủ ngữ là "these those", dùng

"they" trong câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: This isn't your bag, is it?

These are 3 oranges, aren't they?

9. Chủ ngữ là mệnh đề danh từ, dùng “it” trong câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: What you have said is wrong, isn't it?

88

10. Câu đầu có: "It seems that + mệnh đề", lấy mệnh đề để hình thành câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: It seems that you are right, aren't you?

11. Câu đầu là "I wish", dùng "may" trong câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: I wish to study English, may I?

12. Chủ từ là "One", dùng "you" hoặc "one" trong câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: One can be one's master, can't you/one?

13. Với câu cảm thán, lấy danh từ trong câu đổi thành đại từ và dùng "is, am, are".

Ex: What a beautiful dress, isn't it?

How intelligent you are, aren't you?

14. Câu đầu có "Must" thì câu hỏi đuôi biến đổi như sau

* "Must" chỉ sự cần thiết => dùng "needn't".

Ex: They must study hard, needn't they?

* "Must" chỉ sự cấm đoán => dùng "mustn't"

Ex: You mustn't come late, must you?

15. Câu đầu có: "I + think, believe, suppose, figure, assume, fancy, imagine, reckon, expect, seem,

feel" + mệnh đề phụ, ta lấy mệnh đề phụ làm câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: I think he will come here, won't he?

I don't believe Mary can do it, can she?

16. Câu đầu dùng "used to", câu hỏi đuôi dùng "didn't ...".

Ex: She used to live here, didn't she?

17. Câu đầu có "had better", ta mượn trợ động từ "had" để lập câu hỏi đuôi.

Ex: He'd better stay, hadn't he?

18. Câu đầu có "would rather", ta mượn trợ động từ "would" để lập câu hỏi đuôi

Ex: You'd rather go, wouldn't you?

B. Read the passage carefully, then decide whether the following statements are true (1) or false IF).

Throughout history there have been many great explorers. Have you, for example, heard of Marco Polo, the famous Italian traveler? He was the first European to travel to China. He arrived in China in the late 13th century. About 200 years later, Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain by ship. He was looking for a new way to reach India. However, as you probably know, he didn't reach India. He landed in America. Five hundred years after Columbus in the' 1930s a famous explorer named Richard Byrd was one of the first persons to fly over both the North and the South Poles. Today we continue to explore this world and are studying to explore other worlds, too. In the 1930s Russian and American scientists sent many unmanned spacecraft to the moon. These spacecraft sent back very valuable information about the moon. Then on July 16th 1969 the first manned spaceship to the moon left earth. On that day Apollo 11 blasted off with three American astronauts on board. Four days after blast-off, two of these astronauts landed on the moon. They later explored the surface of the moon. About two days after landing on the moon, they started back to the earth. They arrived safely back on earth a few days later. Today we are sending unmanned spacecraft to other planets. In the future, we might walk on Mars or Venus the way we did on the moon. We might even travel to other galaxies. Who knows? One thing we know for sure is that we will continue to explore this world and other worlds, too. 41. Marco Polo traveled from England to China in the late 13th century. 42.

GRAMMAR * Reporting with passive verbs: “ It is said that …”; “ He is said to ….” (Câu tường thuật bị động:“ It is said that …”; “ He is said to ….” ) (Người ta nói/ đồn/ ….. rằng…..): Để chuyển từ câu chủ động với động từ tường thuật sang câu bị động, ta có 2 cách sau: - Active (chủ động):

S2 V2 O2 People (they)/ S1 + say (s)/ động từ tường thuật (hiện tại đơn) + that

=> Passive (bị động):

Cách 1: It + is + said/ động từ tường thuật ở dạng V3/ed + that + S2 V2 O2

Cách 2: S2 + is/ are O2

+ said/ động từ tường thuật ở dạng V3/ed to-inf (to V1) (nếu câu đề bài có V2 (s/es/am/is/are/ tương lai)) + that + to have + V3/ed (nếu câu đề bài có V2 (was/ were/2/ed/quá khứ/ hiện tại hoàn thành))

* Một số động từ tường thuật thường được dùng với hai cấu trúc này: say, think, believe, consider, understand, know, report, expect, allege, claim, …. Ex1: - Active (chủ động): People say that he is intelligent. => Passive (bị động): Cách 1: It is said that he is intelligent. Cách 2: He is said to be intelligent.

Ví dụ: The man is supposed to have been married before. (= That man is said to have been married before.) Ngoài ra, “be supposed to” cũng diễn tả việc làm hoặc hành động đưc dự định và chờ đợi.

94

Ví dụ: I must leave now. I’m supposed to meet the bank manager at 8.30.

B. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World.

The ruins of Angkor are d9cumented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

97

One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

B. contamination of soil D. loss of water supply

B. many theories D. there have been many theories.

B. energy derived from light D. from light, and energy derived' Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure. 41. What is the passage mainly about? A. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia. B. A possible explanation for the, decline of a civilization. C. The essential role water plays in farming. D. Religious temples of the ancient Khmer Empire. 42.
