C. GRAMMAR
Complex sentences with adverb clauses of me (Câu phức với mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian)
1. Complex sentences
- Câu phức là câu bao gồm 1 mệnh đề độc lập (independent clause) và ít nhất 1 mệnh đề phụ thuộc
(dependent clause) liên kết với nhau. Hai mệnh đề thường được nối với nhau bởi dấu phẩy hoặc các
liên từ phụ thuộc (subordinang conjuncons).
E.g. My father always takes me to play with me even though he is very busy.
Mệnh đề độc lập Mệnh đề phụ thuộc
(Bố của tôi luôn dành thời gian để chơi với tôi mặc dù ông rất bận rộn.)
Hoặc:
Even though my father is very busy, he always takes me to play with me.
Mệnh đề phụ thuộc Mệnh đề độc lập
(Mặc dù bố tôi rất bận rộn, nhưng ông luôn dành thời gian để chơi với tôi.)
- Trong câu phức, chúng ta thường gặp một số dạng mệnh đề phụ thuộc phổ biến sau: mệnh đề trạng
ngữ chỉ nguyên nhân lý do (adverb clause of reason), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian (adverb clause
of me), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ sự nhượng bộ (adverb clause of concession), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ
mục đích (adverb clause of purpose), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ kết quả (adverb clause of results).
2. Adverb clauses of me (Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian)
2.1. Định nghĩa
Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian là những mệnh đề bắt đầu bằng các liên từ chỉ thời gian như: when
(khi, vào lúc), while, as (trong khi), unl, ll (cho đến khi), as soon as, once (ngay khi), before, by the
me (trước khi), aer (sau khi), as long as, so long as (chừng nào mà), since (từ khi)...
E.g. I hope to pay him a visit before I go away.
(Tôi hy vọng đến thăm được anh ấy trước khi tôi đi.)
When we were in New York, we saw several plays.
(Khi chúng tôi ở New York, chúng tôi đã xem một vài vở kịch.)
As soon as you are ready, we shall go.
(Ngay khi cậu sẵn sàng, chúng ta sẽ đi.)
We stayed there unl it stopped raining.
(Chúng tôi đã ở đó cho đến khi trời ngừng mưa.)
- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian có thể đứng đầu hoặc cuối câu. Nếu mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời
gian đứng ở đầu câu sẽ ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính bằng dấu phẩy.

Exercise 12. Read the passage about Air Polluon and nd the answers to the quesons below.
AIR POLLUTION
We are nowadays becoming more aware of polluon maers that aect dramacally our lives,
especially there is growing concern about air polluon. There are some reasons that lead to this kind
of polluon. Firstly, the development of industrial zones, factories and building construcon areas is
producing a large amount of dust and poisonous air. Especially in developing countries, people don’t
pay much aenon to the air treatment process which makes the air polluon even worse. Secondly,
because of the increasing urbanizaon, it can be easily seen that there is always a lot of trac in rush
hour and dust on the road these days. The smoke from vehicles and manufacturing exhaust increases
the amount of carbon dioxide in the air which makes US feel really hard to breathe. The
consequences are very bad. Smog and dust can do serious harm to our health, especially our lungs.
We have thousands of asthma and adult respiratory distress cases each year which raise concern
about the air quality. Moreover, acid rain is becoming more and more popular which damages crops
and elds. Many people believe that air polluon is also causing global warming and it is dicult to
improve the air without the eorts of all countries around the world.
1. According to the passage, where do a large amount of dust and poisonous air come from?
___________________________________________________________________________________
2. Do developing countries take the air treatment process into careful consideraon?
___________________________________________________________________________________
3. Why is it dicult for us to breathe when travelling on the roads or streets?
___________________________________________________________________________________
4. Which parcular part of our body is seriously aected by smog and dust?
___________________________________________________________________________________
5. What is the harmful eect of acid rain?
___________________________________________________________________________________
6. According to the passage, if all countries in the world ignore the air polluon condion, will it be
easy to make the air fresher?
___________________________________________________________________________________
Exercise 13. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each queson.
Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Polluon can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from
household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw
away. What can be done to stop this polluon? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment
by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also
reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very lile eort. It is not
hard to place plasc and glass boles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking short
shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when
fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet o while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this
waste eecvely. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants.
The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by
recycling and reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.

Two of the most dangerous storms which aect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very
much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destrucon.
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and oen lives are lost. Most people who live near the
coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas unl the storm passes. Floods
are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm de that is considerably above normal
water level. The high winds, coastal ooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause
enormous damage.
Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit the land, they carry tremendous
power with driving rain and wind.
Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storms. These storms occur most oen during the summer
months and are noceable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked
up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of liing quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up
trees and cars right
into the air and even upli heavier objects such as homes and railway cars.
Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every
year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or
ignored.

Exercise 10. Read the passages below and choose the best tle for each passage. (There is one
unnecessary tle)
Title 1 - Why do “friends” websites seem dangerous?
Title 2 - How do “friends” websites work?
Title 3 - What’s the best advice for people who want to use “friends” websites?
Title 4 - Where do Millie’s friends live?
Title 5 - How can I nd “friends” websites?
Title 6 - Why are “friends” websites popular?
1. _______________ Millie is 14 years old and lives in Miami. She has 204 friends - and she makes two
or three more friends every week. About 20 of her friends also live in Miami. Some go to the same
school, and others go to the same music clubs and sports centers. She oen sees them. The others
live in other cies and other countries: England, Canada, Japan ... She never meets these friends, but
she talks to them on the Internet. They are her “My Space Friends”.
2. _______________ Because of websites like MySpace, Yahoo 360 and Bebo. people can make
friends online. These websites are very popular all over the world, especially with young people. Users
have their own homepage. They give informaon about themselves. They write leers for their
webpage, show photos and give opinions. They write about their favourite lms, music and TV
programmes.
3. _______________ For many young people, a good homepage is an important part of their image. It
says: “This is me! I have something to say. These things - and these people - are important in my life.”
And these websites are also an easy way to talk to a lot of dierent people. That is why teenagers like
these “friends” websites.
4. _______________ But some people are worried that these websites aren’t safe. For example, it is
impossible to know that the informaon on a homepage is true. Perhaps the 14-year-old girl you talk
to online is really a 40-year-old man.
5. _______________ So here is some advice. Keep your webpage private, (only friends can see a
private homepage). Do not put photos of yourself on your homepage. Do not meet people that you
only know because of the website. And nally, remember that online friends are fun, but they are not
the same as real friends.
Exercise 11. Read the text and answer the quesons.
SIGN LANGUAGE
Because deaf people cannot hear, they have special ways of communicang. For example, they can
learn to understand what someone is saying by looking at the mouth of the speaker. This is called lip-
reading. Also, speaking is very dicult for the deaf, because they cannot hear their own voices.
However, it is possible with special training. According to many deaf people all around the world, the
most praccal and popular way of communicang is with sign language.
In many ways, sign language is similar to spoken language. The words of sign language are made with
signs, which are formed with movements of the hands, face, and body. As with words, each sign has a
dierent meaning and can be combined to form sentences. Sign languages also have their own
grammar. The alphabet of sign language is special hand signs that stand for leers; they make spelling
possible. The signs combine to form a rich language that can express the same thoughts, feelings, and
ideas as any spoken language. And just as people from dierent countries speak dierent languages,
most countries have their own variety of sign languages.
1. How can deaf people communicate with others?

Exercise 12. Read the text and answer these following quesons.
Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more than a hundred
years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone is one that needs to be connected
by a wire to a network of other telephones. Because of the wires, people could not take those
telephones with them when they le their homes or oces.
What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had to nd a pay phone. Pay
phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay phones are on the street. You can make a call
from inside a glass or metal space called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins
into a slot in the phone to make a call.
Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell phones. Cell phones do not
need to be connected with wires. They can be used almost anywhere and can t in an adult’s hand.
Many cell phones sold today are smartphones. A smartphone is a cell phone that has lots of
computer-style features. For example, people use smartphones to check e-mail and go on the
Internet. And all that can be done using something small enough to carry in a pocket!
1. Does a landline need to be connected by a wire to a network of other telephones?
___________________________________________________________________________________
2. Why weren’t people able to take the landline with them to work?

C. GRAMMAR
Reported speech (statement) – Lời nói gián ếp (câu trần thuật)
1. Phân biệt lời nói trực ếp và lời nói gián ếp.
a. Lời nói trực ếp, là sự lặp lại chính xác những từ của người nói. Lời nói trực ếp được đặt trong
dấu ngoặc kép và sau động từ chính có dấu phẩy (,) hoặc dấu hai chấm (:).
- Đôi khi mệnh đề chính cũng có thể đặt sau lời nói trực ếp.
E.g. “I don’t like this party.” Bill said.
b. Lời nói gián ếp (indirect/reported speech) là lời tường thuật lại ý của người nói, đôi khi không cần
phải sử dụng chính xác những từ của người nói.
E.g. Bill said that he didn’t like that party.
2. Quy tắc chuyển đổi từ câu trực ếp sang câu gián ếp
Để chuyển một câu từ trực ếp sang gián ếp chúng ta phải ến hành một số biến đổi sau:
Bước 1: Thay đổi về đại từ nhân xưng, đại từ sở hữu, nh từ sở hữu:

Gián ếp
mine
his / hers
ours
theirs
yours
theirs/ his/ hers
Bước 2: Thay đổi động từ: Thì của các động từ trong lời nói gián ếp phải LÙI MỘT THÌ so với câu trực

* Chú ý: Một số trường hợp không đổi thì của động từ trong câu gián ếp:
- Nếu động từ ở mệnh đề giới thiệu được dùng ở thì hiện tại đơn, hiện tại ếp diễn, hiện tại hoàn
thành hoặc tương lai đơn, thì của động từ trong câu gián ếp vẫn không thay đổi
E.g. He says/ he is saying/ he has said/ he will say, “the text is dicult”.
→ He says/ is saying/ has said/ will say (that) the text is dicult.
- Khi câu nói trực ếp thể hiện một chân lý hoặc một hành động lặp lại thường xuyên, thì của động từ
trong câu gián ếp vẫn không thay đổi
E.g. My teacher said “The Sun rises in the East”.
→ My teacher said (that) the Sun rises in the East.
He said, ‘My father always drinks coee aer dinner’.
→ He said (that) his father always drinks coee aer dinner.
- Nếu lúc tường thuật, điểm thời gian được đưa ra trong lời nói gián ếp vẫn chưa qua, thì của động

E.g. He said, “I will come to your house tomorrow”.
→ He said (that) he will come to my house tomorrow.
- Câu trực ếp có dạng câu điều kiện loại 2 hoặc loại 3:

→ She said (that) if she had enough money, she would buy a new bicycle.
E.g. The teacher said, “If John had studied harder, he wouldn’t have failed his exam.”
→ The teacher said (that) if John had studied harder, he wouldn’t have failed his exam.
- Tuy nhiên nếu lời nói trực ếp là câu điều kiện loại 1 thì được chuyển sang loại 2 ở lời nói gián ếp.
E.g. The adversement said, “If you answer the quesons correctly, you may win one million dollars”.
→ The adversement said that I might win one million dollars if I answered the quesons correctly.
- Không thay đổi thì của mệnh đề sau “wish”
E.g. He said, “I wish I had a lot of money”.
→ He wishes (that) he had a lot of money.

- Không thay đổi thì của mệnh đề đi sau "would rather, would sooner”
E.g. She said, “I would rather you stayed at home”.
→ She said that she would rather I stayed at home.
- Không thay đổi thì của:

- Động từ trong câu nói trực ếp có thời gian xác định:
E.g. He said, “I was bom in 1980”.

- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian trong câu phức có thì quá khứ đơn và quá khứ ếp diễn
E.g. “I saw him when he was going to the cinema”.
→ She said she saw him when she was going to the cinema.
Bước 3: Thay đổi về từ chỉ thời gian và nơi chốn:
Trực ếp
Gián ếp
today/ tonight
that day/ that night
yesterday
the day before/ the previous day
last month/ night...
the month before / the previous month/ the night before/ the

1.3. Statements in reported speech (Câu trần thuật trong lời nói gián ếp)
Để chuyển một câu trần thuật trực ếp sang lời nói gián ếp ta ến hành 3 bước như đã nêu ở trên.
Chú ý: động từ dẫn trong câu trần thuật sẽ là: said, told, announced, explained...
Cấu trúc: S + said (to + O)/ told + O that S’ + V (lùi thì)
E.g. “We will have a test tomorrow”, my teacher said.
→ My teacher said (that) they would have a test the next day. (chuyển We

they, tomorrow —> the
next day, và động từ ở thì tươmg lai đơn will have
→
would have)
E.g. “I’m going to study abroad next year”, she said.
→ She said that she was going to study abroad the following year, (đổi I
→
she, động từ am going to
→
was going to, next year
→
the following year)

Marie Curie
Marie Curie is the rst and only woman in the world to be honored twice with the Nobel Prize in two
dierent elds. She is regarded as the most outstanding female scienst in the world. It was Marie
Curie who found a way to ght cancer and X-ray technology...
During scienc research, Marie Curie and her husband discovered two important elements in the
periodic table: Polonium and Radium. This work paved the way for the advent of X-rays, which led to
many advances in medicine.
Today, advances have been made in X-ray technology allowing disease to be suspected, and radiaon
therapy is also used in the treatment of cancer.
Curie’s research has helped develop radiaon as a tool to treat cancer cells - the cornerstone of
radiaon therapy in modem medicine today, although radiaon therapy has improved. At that me,
she inserted small glass tubes with Radon (a radioacve gas) into areas of the tumor causing them to
shrink.

Exercise 12. Read and decide T (true) or F (false) for each statement.
Today our bookshop would like to introduce you a new book wrien by J.H. James. The book’s tle is
“Future world”. It is all about how new technologies will change our world in 2050. According to the
book, the an-aging drugs will help human live healthy lives over 120 years old. Another advanced
technology in health care is 3D prinng of human organs and body parts. This will be a good news to
diabetes paents because new muscles, bones and even organs will be rebuilt and replace the
damaged ones. About the technologies in environment protecon, solar power will be the main
energy source of the world in 2050. Solar panel will be more popular and help us reduce a large
amount of carbon dioxide emission. In addion, a new method of sewage treatment will solve
problems of water polluon. Industrial sewage will be treated to become clean water and minerals.
There is also some new advanced technology in transportaon. Cruise control will reduce the
accidents. This device will be very helpful especially for drunk drivers. In the future, a transponder will
also be installed in a bicycle and will reduce the crash. Read the book now and we can see that many
advanced technologies will bring us a safer and more convenient life.

C. GRAMMAR
1. Reported speed (quesons) - Lòi nói gián ếp (câu nghi vấn)
Khi chuyển câu hỏi trực ếp thành giản ếp cũng cần áp dụng quy tắc chuyển đổi 3 bước giong như
câu trần thuật.
Bước 1: Đổi ngôi
Bước 2: Lùi thì
Bước 3: Chuyển các cụm từ chỉ thời gian, noi chốn
Tuy nhiên trong câu hỏi có một số thay đổi sau:
- Động từ tường thuật câu hỏi gián ếp là asked/ wanted to know/ wondered...
- Trật tự từ chuyển về dạng trần thuật tức là chủ ngữ đứng trước động từ, câu không còn đảo ngữ
nữa.
- Không dùng liên từ “that’, dấu được bỏ đi.
a. Yes/no quesons:
S + asked + (O) + if / whether + clause (S’ + V
lùi thì
)
E.g. Tuan asked Ba “Are you fond of watching television?”
Tuan asked Ba if/whether he was fond of watching television.
E.g. “Do you like listening to music?” she asked me.
She asked me if I liked listening to music.
b. Wh-quesons:
S + asked + (O) + wh - word + clause (S’ + V
lùi thì
)
E.g. He said to me, “Why did you go with her mother last week?”
He asked me why I had gone with her mother the week before.
E.g. “Where did you go last night?”, her mother asked.
Her mother wanted to know where she had gone the night before.
Chú ý: Trong trường hợp câu trực ếp có cả câu trần thuật và câu hỏi khi đổi sang câu gián ếp dạng
câu nào sẽ đổi theo quy tắc dạng câu đó.
E.g. “I have le my watch at home. Can you tell me the me?”
He said that he had le his watch at home and asked me if I could tell him the me.
D. PRONUNCIATION
Intonaon for making lists - Ngữ điệu trong câu liệt kê
Trong câu liệt kê, ngữ điệu sẽ lên cao ở những từ đầu và xuống thấp vào từ cuối để chỉ ra rằng danh sách hoặc
sự liệt kê đã kết thúc.
E.g. We like playing football , basketball , volleyball and tennis .
(Chúng tôi thích chơi bóng đá, bóng rổ, bóng chuyền và quần vợt.)
E.g. I le work , came home , took a shower , had dinner , watched TV , and went to bed .
(Tôi tan làm, trở về nhà, đi tắm, ăn tối, xem phim và đi ngủ.)

Exercise 10. Read the passage and answer the following quesons.
MERCURY
Among eight planets in our Solar system, Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and it needs only 88
days to complete an orbit around the Sun. According to Greek mythology, Mercury is the messenger
of Gods (Hermes). Mercury is a small planer that bears a strong resemblance to the Moon with its
lile larger size rocky surface and many bowl-shaped cavies. Because of its posion in the Solar
system, the temperature on the sunny side of Mercury can reach over 800 degrees but -300 degrees
is the other side’s temperature. Being cooler than only Venus, the hoest planet, the climate on
Mercury is extremely severe which makes it hard to visit and explore. Two spacecra have been sent
to Mercury, the rst was in 1974 and sciensts had to wait three decades to visit Mercury the second
me in 2004. Some people believe that there is no water in Mercury but some informaon collected
from Radar showed that ice exists on the Northern pole of this planet. Small Mercury has no moons
and no atmosphere because of its too lile gravity (38% of the gravity of Earth). There is no report
showing life's existence in Mercury yet.
1. How long does it take Mercury to orbit the Sun?
___________________________________________________________________________________
2. In Greek mythology, who is the messenger of Gods?
___________________________________________________________________________________
3. According to the passage, why is Mercury similar to the Moon?
___________________________________________________________________________________
4. What is the highest temperature on Mercury?
___________________________________________________________________________________
5. How many spacecra have been sent to Mercury?
___________________________________________________________________________________
Exercise 11. Read the passage carefully then answer the quesons.
How many planets are there in our galaxy? That’s a tricky queson to answer. Are there other planets
that support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to discover.
NASA launched the Kepler space telescope, designed to nd habitable planets, in 2009. So far it has
discovered ve new Earth-sized planets beyond our Solar System. These planets are hoer than the
Earth - much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler team predict that they will need at least three
years to nd an Earth-like planet.
The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water so the distance from
the planet’s sun and therefore temperature is important. There also needs to be the correct amount
of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on
to air molecules. If a planet is Neptune-sized (four mes bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity
and too much air. So size maers too.
The cost of the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to observe unl
2013 but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are alone in our galaxy or happy if
we nd that we share it with other life forms?

GRAMMAR
Complex sentences with adverb clauses of time (Câu phức với mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian) 1. Complex sentences
- Câu phức là câu bao gồm 1 mệnh đề độc lập (independent clause) và ít nhất 1 mệnh đề phụ thuộc
(dependent clause) liên kết với nhau. Hai mệnh đề thường được nối với nhau bởi dấu phẩy hoặc các
liên từ phụ thuộc (subordinating conjunctions).
E.g. My father always takes time to play with me even though he is very busy. Mệnh đề độc lập Mệnh đề phụ thuộc
(Bố của tôi luôn dành thời gian để chơi với tôi mặc dù ông rất bận rộn.) Hoặc:
Even though my father is very busy, he always takes time to play with me.
Mệnh đề phụ thuộc Mệnh đề độc lập
(Mặc dù bố tôi rất bận rộn, nhưng ông luôn dành thời gian để chơi với tôi.)
- Trong câu phức, chúng ta thường gặp một số dạng mệnh đề phụ thuộc phổ biến sau: mệnh đề trạng
ngữ chỉ nguyên nhân lý do (adverb clause of reason), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian (adverb clause
of time), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ sự nhượng bộ (adverb clause of concession), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ
mục đích (adverb clause of purpose), mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ kết quả (adverb clause of results).
2. Adverb clauses of time (Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian) 2.1. Định nghĩa
Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian là những mệnh đề bắt đầu bằng các liên từ chỉ thời gian như: when
(khi, vào lúc), while, as (trong khi), until, till (cho đến khi), as soon as, once (ngay khi), before, by the
time (trước khi), after (sau khi), as long as, so long as (chừng nào mà), since (từ khi)... E.g.
I hope to pay him a visit before I go away.
(Tôi hy vọng đến thăm được anh ấy trước khi tôi đi.)
When we were in New York, we saw several plays.
(Khi chúng tôi ở New York, chúng tôi đã xem một vài vở kịch.)
As soon as you are ready, we shall go.
(Ngay khi cậu sẵn sàng, chúng ta sẽ đi.)
We stayed there until it stopped raining.
(Chúng tôi đã ở đó cho đến khi trời ngừng mưa.)
- Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian có thể đứng đầu hoặc cuối câu. Nếu mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời
gian đứng ở đầu câu sẽ ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính bằng dấu phẩy. 2.2. Cách sử dụng
a. Diễn đạt 1 hành động đang xảy ra thì hành động khác xen vào Main clause Conjunction Adverb clause of time S + V-ed while S+ was/ were + V-ing (quá khứ đơn) as
