LỜI NÓI ĐẦU

Cuốn sách 35 đê ôn luyện thi vào lớp 6 Chất lượng cao môn Tiếng Anh được nhóm tác giả biên soạn nhằm
giúp các em học sinh luyện tập, củng cố kiến thức đã được học ở bậc Tiểu học; làm quen với cấu trúc đề thi và các
dạng bài thi thường gặp trong kì thi tuyển sinh lớp 6 của các trường THCS uy tín tại Hà Nội. Đồng thời, giáo viên,
phụ huynh cũng có thể sử dụng sách để tham khảo và cùng đồng hành với các con trong việc hướng dẫn, giảng
dạy và kiểm tra kiến thức, đánh giá năng lực học sinh thường xuyên hoặc định kì.
Cuốn sách được biên soạn bám sát các kiến thức cơ bản và nâng cao về chủ điểm, từ vựng, ngữ pháp và ngữ
âm đã được giới thiệu trong chương trình tiếng Anh bậc Tiểu học.
Nội dung cuốn sách gồm hai phần chính:
Phần 1: 15 đề luyện thi vào lớp 6 trường THCS Ngoại ngữ - Đại học Ngoại ngữ - Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội;
Phần 2: 20 đề luyện thi vào lớp 6 các trường THCS công lập, dân lập, bán công và chuyên của Hà Nội như
Trường THPT Chuyên Hà Nội - Amsterdam, Trường THCS Cầu Giấy, Trường THCS & THPT Nguyễn Tất
Thành - Đại học Sư phạm Hà Nội, Trường THCS Archimedes Academy, Trường THCS Đoàn Thị Điểm, Trường
tiểu học - THCS - THPT Nguyễn Siêu và Trường THCS & THPT Lương Thế Vinh.
Ngoài ra nhóm tác giả đã biên soạn phần Đáp án để giúp các em trong quá trình tự học và rèn luyện kĩ năng
làm bài thi.
Điểm mới và nổi bật của cuốn sách là phần ghi chú tổng hợp các cấu trúc đặc biệt xuất hiện trong mỗi đề
luyện, giúp các em củng cố và nhớ sâu hơn kiến thức.
Để việc học tập đạt kết quả tốt nhất, các em học sinh khi làm đề cần đặt thời gian, suy nghĩ kĩ và cẩn thận
trước khi đối chiếu câu trả lời của mình với phần đáp án.
Trong quá trình biên soạn, mặc dù các tác giả đã rất cố gắng song cuốn sách không thể tránh khỏi những thiếu
sót nhất định. Chúng tôi rất mong nhận được những ý kiến đóng góp của Quý Thầy, Cô và các em học sinh để ấn
phẩm hoàn thiện hơn trong những lần tái bản tiếp theo.

CÁC TÁC GIẢ
CẤU TRÚC ĐỀ ÔN LUYỆN THI
GIỚI THIỆU VỀ CẤU TRÚC CUỐN SÁCH
Như đã giới thiệu ở Lời nói đầu, cuốn sách gồm 35 đề thi được xây dựng dựa theo cấu trúc đề thi tuyển sinh
lớp 6 của Trường THCS Ngoại ngữ - Đại học Ngoại ngữ - ĐHQG Hà Nội (gọi tắt là Trường THCS Ngoại ngữ) và
các trường THCS công lập, dân lập, bán công và chuyên của Hà Nội (gọi tắt là các trường THCS Chất lượng cao).
Hiện nay, đề thi tuyển sinh lớp 6 tại các trường nói trên không có cấu trúc thống nhất. Ngoại trừ Trường
THPT Chuyên Hà Nội - Amsterdam sử dụng đề thi do Sở Giáo dục & Đào tạo Hà Nội ban hành, các trường khác
thường chủ động thiết kế câu hỏi cho đề thi của trường mình. Trường THCS Ngoại ngữ, bắt đầu tổ chức tuyển sinh
từ năm học 2019 - 2020, đã công bố cấu trúc đề thi tuyển sinh lớp 6 (kèm theo Quyết định số 960/QĐ- ĐHNN
ngày 22 tháng 04 năm 2019). Theo đó, thông tin chi tiết về bài thi Đánh giá năng lực tiếng Anh đã được nêu rất cụ
thể về thời gian làm bài, số phần, tổng số câu hỏi và hình thức làm bài:
Phần Nghe 20 phút 20 câu hỏi /4 phần
Phần Đọc - Viết 50 phút 41 câu hỏi /7 phần(bao gồm 01
bài viết đoạn văn)

Cấu trúc đề tuyển sinh lớp 6 của các trường THCS Chất lượng cao, mặt khác, khá đa dạng; thời gian làm bài
cũng khác nhau.
Vì vậy, nhóm tác giả quyết định thiết kế hai nhóm đề khác nhau: nhóm thứ nhất gồm 15 đề thi tuyển sinh lớp
6 theo cấu trúc đề thi của Trường THCS Ngoại ngữ; nhóm thứ hai gồm 20 đề thi tuyển sinh lớp 6 các trường
THCS Chất lượng cao. Đối với các đề thi thuộc nhóm này, nhóm tác giả đã xây dựng một cấu trúc đề thi tổng quát
bao gồm các dạng bài tập khác nhau, thường xuất hiện trong đề tuyển sinh lớp 6 của các trường THCS Chất lượng
cao trong vòng 03 năm trở lại đây.
Trong khuôn khổ cuốn sách, nhóm tác giả sẽ tập trung vào kiến thức Từ vựng - Ngữ pháp - Ngữ âm và kĩ
năng Đọc - Viết. Đối với phần thi Nghe, nhóm tác giá đề xuất một số các tựa sách dùng để luyện tập kĩ năng nghe
như sau:

V. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
QATAR TO HOST 2022 SOCCER WORLD CUP
The tiny Middle Eastern nation of Qatar has a soccer team, but it has never played in soccer's greatest
tournament, the World Cup. However, something amazing will happen in 2022, when Qatar will become the first
nation in the Middle East to host the men's Soccer World Cup games.
Some fans were confused about this choice. Where will the athletes compete? Qatar doesn't have any stadiums
 built yet. Also, the weather in Qatar gets extremely hot in the summer. However, Qatar has plans to fix those
problems. The country has announced plans to build enough stadiums for the tournament. To keep everyone cool,
each stadium will have solar-powered air-conditioning. Qatar is also building a new airport and train system.
Because the stadiums will be so close together and connected by train, fans will be able to watch two games in
one day.
Qatar has big plans for its new stadiums. Game officials say that after the World Cup, they will take the
stadiums down. The stadiums will be taken apart and sent to countries that don't have enough money to build their
own stadiums.
Qatar is very happy to be the first Middle Eastern nation to host the tournament. As the country's Emir, Sheikh
Hamad bin Khalifa AI-Thani said to the World Cup organization, “Thank you for believing in change.... Thank
you for giving Qatar a chance."

There is a famous landmark in the desert of central Australia. European explorers saw it for the first time in

rock is huge. It is 348 metres high, 3.6 kilometres long and 1.9 kilometres wide. It is a beautiful red-brown colour,
especially when the sun shines on it early in the morning and in the evening.
When tourists want to visit Uluru, they often start 440 kilometres away in a town called Alice Springs. From
there, they organise a camping trip into the desert. People on these trips usually sleep outside under the stars, not
in tents, because it’s more exciting. A fire keeps away snakes and other animals during the night. After breakfast,
visitors often walk around the base of the rock. This walk is 9.4 kilometres long and takes two hours.
By law, Uluru belongs to the Aborigines and they still use it today for religious ceremonies. Because of this,
they ask visitors not to climb it. However, about 100,000 visitors each year ignore this request.

EATING OUT IN SF
Whatever food you’re looking for - an-all-you-can-eat breakfast, a quick lunch, a romantic dinner - you'll find
it in San Francisco. The city is home to over 4,500 restaurants and eating places. And they’re not only for tourists.
On average, San Franciscans eat out 267 times a year.
You can eat food from anywhere in the world, from Afghan to Argentinian, and from Vietnamese to
vegetarian. With Mexican fast food, Italian bakenes, hundreds of Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean
restaurants, and in-and-out Japanese noodle shops, it’s possible to eat your way round the world during a single
San Francisco weekend.
And you don't find good food only in expensive restaurants. You can try great cooking in any number of small
eating places, where prices are low and reservations aren’t needed. Portions are often large, but you can ask the
restaurant to pack up anything you don’t eat so you can take it home. But wherever you eat, if you have waiter
service, don't forget to tip.
The exact amount you leave is up to you, but 15-20 per cent of the bill is normal. An easy way to calculate
your tip is to double the sales tax (currently 8.5 per cent).

RARE AND BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS
One of the rarest flowering plants in the world, the Snowdonia hawkweed, grows wild only in Snowdonia
National Park in northern Wales. The region is rocky and mountainous, and the air is cool and damp. The
Snowdonia hawkweed prefers this habitat. In fact, it grows nowhere else in the world. It is even picky about where
it grows in the park.
Snowdonia hawkweed is about 11 inches tall. Its bright yellow blossoms have thin petals with ragged edges.
The Snowdonia hawkweed may not be the most beautiful plant in the world, but it is a favorite snack of sheep.
In 1953, the Snowdonia hawkweed disappeared. People feared that the plant was gone forever. They believed
that sheep grazing on the land had eaten the last few plants. So, the people who ran the park removed the sheep
from the area, hoping that the hawkweed might return. Forty-nine years later, a group of plant scientists found the
yellow flowers blooming in one spot in the park. The hawkweed had returned!
Scientists collected seeds from the plant in case it disappeared again. But since 2002, the rare plant has
continued to bloom in the park.

IX. Suggested answer
Dear Mr. Principal,
I am writing to suggest some simple ideas to make our campus greener more natural.
The first is establishing a club that helps to plant many trees inside and outside school. This will not only provide
shade and green spaces for students but also make students have a good habit of protecting trees.
I would like to invite your attention to a very serious environmental problem in our school. Our canteen is
selling meals and snacks in plastic boxes or bags that may take thousands of years to decay. I believe that the
canteen staff should be encouraged to replace the plastic bags with paper ones.
I hope you will consider my suggestions to make our school environmentally friendly
Yours faithfully,
Hoa

IX. Suggested answer
If I were the principal, I would organize a lot of sports and extracurricular activities like drama, music,
painting, creative writing, clay modeling, photography, horse riding, swimming, dancing. This would keep the
students interested in coming to school and they would enjoy their long hours of stay in school. I would also tell
teachers to create a friendly atmosphere in the classroom. Teachers would be friends with students, and this could
help students feel free to share anything they have in their mind their teachers.
