LỜI NÓI ĐẦU
Từ vựng luôn là một trở ngại của các học viên tiếng Anh bởi sự phong phú và
đa dạng về mặt ngữ nghĩa và các hình thức biến thể của từ. Một số học viên gặp khó
khăn trong việc tìm kiếm ngữ nghĩa thích hợp cho một từ mới, hoặc từ phát sinh của
từ trong nhiều hoàn cảnh khác nhau. Một số sau khi đã tìm được ngữ nghĩa và các
dạng thức của từ, nhưng sau đó lại gặp một khó khăn tiếp theo là không biết làm thế
nào để đọc cho đúng từ đó. Xuất phát từ những khó khăn và những trở ngại đó, tác giả
đã cố gắng biên soạn cuốn từ vựng này để phục vụ các bạn để giúp các bạn thuận lợi
hơn trong việc học từ vựng.

Từ vựng được tập hợp từ mỗi đơn vị bài trong sách giáo khoa để các bạn dễ tra
cứu. Mỗi từ nếu có các dạng phát sinh khác cũng đã được trình bày đầy đủ nhằm giúp
học viên mở rộng vốn từ hơn. Nhằm giúp các bạn ghi nhớ và ôn luyện tốt hơn, tác giả
cũng đã thu âm cách đọc của từng từ một để các bạn tiện nghe và thực hành từ vựng
để dễ ghi nhớ hơn và làm quen với cách phát âm của các từ một cách thực tiễn hơn.
Bên cạnh đó, tác giả cũng đã cố gắng hết sức để soạn ra các câu ngắn để các bạn dùng
những từ đã học vào ngữ cảnh thích hợp nhằm giúp các bạn học vui hơn và nhớ sâu
hơn.
Trong quá trình thực hiện, với kiến thức còn hạn hẹp khó lòng tránh khỏi các
sai sót, câu cú còn chưa mượt mà, mong các bạn và các bậc đi trước, anh chị đồng
nghiệp, các bạn đọc học thức uyên bác bỏ qua và đóng góp cho những sai sót đó nhằm
giúp quyển sách từ vựng nhỏ này ngày càng hoàn thiện hơn.

Xin trân trọng cám ơn các bạn đã quan tâm!

28 to start off a charitable organization. I hope that more and more
people will help by d 29 money, clothes, or books which we will take to
all remote areas in my country with the hope of helping more children to persue their
proper education.

here is always moving actively with lots of modern facilities from entertainment to
education. More importantly, it o 38 me with more opportunities to have
good jobs with high salary and to develop myself all the time. Although the population
here is really d 39, I like the crowds and the noisy atmosphere of a big
city. It’s your choice to live in a big city or a small village, but city life is my option.

1The topic of this unit is life in the countryside, so today I am going to write a
passage about this. I was born and grew up in a small village where you are not
d 28 by the noise from crowded traffic, air pollution from factories, or
traffic jam in rush hours at all. I love the life in the countryside because most of the
products are h 29 from clothes to vegetables. Here, you can enjoy the
fresh air from the field with the flavor of green rice and s 30 loud
freely when you are stressed. You will be able to live with nature and participate in
community activities, too. Just experience the life in the countryside once in your life
if you have never been to such wonderful places.

2 Sometimes, when I am bored with the noise and disturbance of


u 31 life, I usually take a ride to a remote village in the countryside. I turn
to be very e 32 with the feeling of coming back to the childhood time
when I was a young child. My friends and I usually d 33 holes in the
field to capture mice. In the harvest time, we helped our parents p 34
ripe fruit and sell them in the l 35 market. Those memories will be
u 36 in my mind although I am thirty years of age now.

3 In recent years, the process of u 37 loud is increasing very fast


and dramatically. It’s a positive sign to show that our country is developing and
becoming richer. However, there are are lot of other disavantages, too. Children in big
cities have fewer places to play and have to face the d _38 from traffic
jam, noise, pollution, and social problems like violence, Internet addiction, etc. I think
we must be careful in u 39 the society so that we can enjoy the
f 40 of changes, but don’t lose traditional values l 41
customs. What do you think about this topic? Write to share your opinions.

choosing to live in a small village instead of a big city in an u 31 area.
Firstly, the atmosphere is very fresh, p 32 and relaxable. You are not
d 33 by the noise of means of transportation like cars, buses, trains, or the
underground. Secondly, life in rural areas also p 34 you with lots of fresh
and organic produce, so don’t worry about vegetables with toxic chemicals here.
Finally, there are vast p 35 and rice paddy fields where you can run
f 36 and s 37 without disturbing anyone else. What do you
think about the life in a village in the countryside? Write in English to with me.

2Although life in big cities usually provides us with a lot of c 38


and comfort, it still has some drawbacks such as traffic jam, types of pollution like
water pollution, noise pollution, and light pollution, and so on. Most of city-dwellers’
houses are fully decorated and equipped with f 39 like air-conditioners,
plants, and other e 40 aplliances. However, it seems to make them more
disappointed. They don’t have rain forests or terraced fields like people in

in the rural areas do heavy lifting things in open space like rice paddy fields without
paying any extra money to be fit and stay in shape. Moreover, people living in the

LỜI TÂM HUYẾT

Kính thưa các quý thầy cô, tác giả không giữ bản quyền những quyển sách này với
hy vọng với kiến thức ít ỏi này có thể đóng góp cho sự phát triển Anh ngữ nước nhà.
Nhìn quan một vòng, chúng ta thấy thế hệ trẻ đang rất cần những người thầy, người cô
như quý vị đây dìu dắt và giảng dạy bằng cái tâm thương yêu bình đẳng, với hy vọng
làm sao để các em ấy thành người có đức có tài, biết hiếu dưỡng cha mẹ, biết ân tổ
quốc, và kính trọng tôn sư, hơn thế nữa là yêu thương người và vạn loài như chính bản
thân các em. Chứ không phải như hiện nay, người ta cứ tranh giành nhau dạnh lợi để
gây ra biết bao điều khổ ải cho bản thân và nhiều người khác. Cho nên, đắn đo rất
nhiều, tôi đã quyết định tặng quý thầy cô chuỗi sách này mà ban đầu tôi có ý định viết
để kinh doanh. Tôi hy vọng quý thầy cô không chê kiến thức còn hạn hẹp và non kém
này mà dùng sách như một tâm huyết của một người trẻ tuổi để đồng hành với thầy cô
trên con đường giảng dạy, trên một con đường vĩ đại nhất của đời người – đó là nhà
giáo dục.
Để giáo dục được học trò mình, trước hết người làm thầy phải là gương mẫu, phải là
một bậc có đạo đức, chứ không phải là một người thầy chỉ vì danh vì lợi mà hy sinh lợi
ích của người học để chỉ đem đến lợi ích cho mình. Hy vọng nước Việt sẽ sản sinh ra
vô số những bậc thầy vĩ đại, để tiếng thơm của thầy cô cứ mãi mãi lưu truyền cho đời
đời lớp lớp học sinh kế cận.
Có thể có người sẽ đổi tên, sẽ dùng để xuất bản, tác giả cũng không phiền hà gì khi các
vị không ngại làm những điều như thế. Tác giả chỉ hy vọng, hết thảy quý thầy cô sẽ dùng
nó để đào tạo ra những con người học vấn chân chính. Nhưng để có những học trò chân
chính, quý thầy cô trước hết phải chân chính. Làm được điều ấy, cái đức ấy mới cảm
được học trò nghe theo chúng ta. Từ đó, hiền tài có đạo đức mới xuất hiện để phục vụ
chúng ta sau này.
Tác giả không tặng quý vị đáp án với dụng ý mong quý vị cũng bỏ chút thời gian
nghiên cứu thật kỹ trước khi đem đi dạy học trò mình. Có chút bất tiện, nhưng mong
thầy cô hiểu ý này mà bỏ chút tâm lực.
Trong quá trình biên soạn, không khỏi những sơ sót về lỗi chính tả hoặc ngữ pháp,
cũng mong quý thầy cô bỏ qua và xin nhận những lời đóng góp của quý thầy cô để
những quyển sách này hoàn chỉnh hơn.

Rạch Giá, 21.04.2019
