GRAMMAR
MODALS
1. Should – Ought to – Had better
* Form: should/ ought to + V(bare -inf): nên làm gì
Hình thức phủ định của should là should not (shouldn't); của ought to là ought not to (oughtn't) to; của had
better là had better not.
Chúng ta dùng should, ought to để đưa ra ý kiến của chúng ta về việc gì đó hoặc đưa ra lời khuyên cho ai
đó (give our opinions about something or advice to somebody). Trong hầu hết các trường hợp thì chúng ta
có thể dùng ought to thay thế cho should.
E.g: You should/ ought to finish your homework before you go out.
English 11
3

Tuy nhiên có sự khác biệt nhỏ giữa should và ought to:

- "Should" thường được dùng khi chúng ta muốn biểu đạt quan điểm, ý kiến cá nhân
E.g: I think you should see him. (Tôi nghĩ bạn nên gặp anh ta.)
- "Ought to" thường được dùng khi nói đến điều luật, nhiệm vụ, quy định
E.g: They ought to follow the school's policy, or they will get expelled. (Họ nên tuân theo chính sách của
trường học, hoặc là họ sẽ bị đuổi ra khỏi trường.)
- "Should" thường được dùng trong các câu hỏi hơn "ought to", đặc biệt là trong loại câu hỏi WH- questions
E.g: What should I do if I have any problems? (Tôi nên làm gì nếu tôi gặp vấn đề?)
- Should/ Ought to +have + PP: lẽ ra đã nên làm gì
Diễn tả một điều gì đó lẽ ra đã nên hoặc phải xảy ra trong quá khứ nhưng thực tế đã không xảy ra trong quá
khứ vì lý do nào đó
E.g: I should have gone to the post office this morning. (Lẽ ra sáng nay tôi phải đi bưu điện.)
 tôi đã không đi
Diễn tả sự đáng tiếc, hối hận đã không làm việc gì đó (express regret that something was not done)
I failed the exam. I should have studied harder. (Tôi đã thi trượt. Đáng lẽ ra tôi nên chăm học hơn.)
- Chúng ta có thể dùng cụm was/were supposed to V để thay thế cho should have pp
E.g: She was supposed to go/ should have gone to the party last night.
* Form: Had better + V: nên, tốt hơn nên làm gì (Had better ='d better)
- Had better: cũng dùng khi cho lời khuyên, hay diễn đạt điều gì đó tốt nhất nên làm. Had better được dùng
để cho lời khuyên về sự vật sự việc, tình huống cụ thể, còn lời khuyên chung chúng ta nên sử dụng "ought
to" hoặc "should"
E.g: It's cold today. You'd better wear a coat when you go out. (Hôm nay trời lạnh. Tốt hơn là bạn nên mặc
áo khoác khi đi ra ngoài  một tình huống đặc biệt)
- Had better đặc biệt được dùng để đưa ra lời khuyên mang tính cấp bách, cảnh báo và đe dọa
E.g: You had better be on time or you will be punished. (Bạn nên đúng giờ hoặc nếu không bạn sẽ bị trừng
phạt.)
2. Must- Have (Got) to
"Must" và "Have (got) to" đều có nghĩa là "phải": để chỉ sự bắt buộc hay cần thiết phải làm một việc gì đó
(express obligation or the need to do sth)
E.g: I must/ have to go out now.
Must và have (got) to có thể dùng để thay thế cho nhau nhưng đôi khi giữa chúng có sự khác nhau:
- Must: mang tính chất cá nhân, để diễn tả sự bắt buộc đến từ người nói, cảm giác của cá nhân mình (chủ
quan). Người nói thấy việc đó cần thiết phải làm
E.g: I really must give up smoking (Tôi thực sự phải bỏ thuốc.)
- Have (got) to: không mang tính chất cá nhân, để diễn tả sự bắt buộc đến từ các yếu tố ngoại cảnh bên
ngoài như luật lệ, quy định (sự bắt buộc mang tính khách quan- external obligation).
E.g: You can't turn right here. You have to turn left. (because of the traffic system)
Have got to ~ have to nhưng have got to thường được dùng trong ngôn ngữ nói (informal)
Have to Have got to
I/you/we/they have to I/you/we/they have got to I/you/we/they
I/you/we/they don't have to haven't got to
Do I/you/we/they have to...? Have I/you/we/they got to...?
Nếu have được tỉnh lược 've thì chúng ta phải có "got"
E.g: They've got to be changed. (không được dùng They've to be changed)

English 11
4

Trong thì quá khứ đơn, chúng ta thường dùng "had to" hơn là "had got to"
- Must có thể được dùng để nói về hiện tại và tương lai, nhưng không được dùng ở quá khứ. Thay vào đó, ta
phải dùng had to (have to dùng được ở tất cả các thì)
E.g: I must go to school now.
I must go to school tomorrow. /I will have to go to school tomorrow.
I had to go to school yesterday.
Nếu không chắc chắn nên dùng từ nào thì thông thường để "an toàn" hơn ta nên dùng have
- Must còn dùng để đưa ra sự suy luận dựa vào lập luận logic
E.g: She must be upstairs. We've looked everywhere else. (Cô ta chắc là ở trên tầng. Chúng tôi đã tìm mọi
nơi khác.)
- Must + be/ feel + adj: để bày tỏ sự thấu hiểu cảm giác của ai đó
E.g: You must be tired after that trip. (Bạn chắc hẳn rất mệt sau chuyến đi đó.)
Mustn't và Don't have to
Must not (mustn't) khác hoàn toàn với don't/ doesn't have to
+ Mustn't: không được làm gì đó (chỉ sự cấm đoán)
E.g: You mustn't tell the truth. (Bạn không được phép nói ra sự thật)
+ Don't have to = Don't need to: không cần làm gì, không phải làm gì (nhưng bạn có thể làm nếu bạn muốn)
E.g: You don't have to get up early. (Bạn không cần thức dậy sớm đâu.)
- Must + have + PP: chắc hẳn đã, hẳn là
Diễn tả sự suy đoán hay kết luận logic dựa vào thực tế ở quá khứ (to draw a conclusion about something
happened in the past)
E.g: Mary passed the exam with flying colors. She must have studied hard. (Mary đã thi đậu với kết quả
cao. Cô ấy chắc hẳn đã học chăm chỉ.)
 Must + have been + Ving: chắc hẳn lúc ấy đang
E.g: I didn't hear the doorbell. I must have been gardening behind the house. (Tôi đã không nghe thấy
chuông cửa. Chắc hẳn lúc ấy tôi đang làm vườn phía sau nhà.)

The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another,
especially between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such family
conflicts can seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small kids
and keep in mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices.
Therefore, they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the outside world.
Nevertheless, they forget that as children grow up, they want to be more independent and develop their own
identity by creating their own opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on wearing
fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value traditional clothes
believe that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society. It becomes worse when the
expensive brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education
between parents and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and that
dazzling future opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to impose their
choices of university or career on them regardless of their children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It seems that
the best way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and understanding.

they are interested in.
3. Teenagers try to please their parents by wearing traditional clothes.
4. Parents want children to follow their wishes in deciding the education and
future jobs.
5. Some parents indulge their children with expensive brand name clothes.
6. In order to bridge the gap between the old generation and the younger one,
open communication to promote mutual understanding is the vital key.
Task 2. Choose the best answers for the following questions.
1. Why do most parents still treat their teenage children like small kids?
A. Because children usually make mistakes
English 11
15

B. Because they think that children are too young to live independently.
C. Because they think that children can't protect themselves well.

6. Why do teenagers want to choose their university or career?

C. READING
I. Read the text and do the following task.
Types of Families
A family is a group of people that have a common ancestor. They usually live together in the same
house. Although it is a fact that not all families are the same, they can be categorized into different types.
A nuclear family consists of parents and their children living together. In many countries in Europe
and North American this is the most common form of family. There are three types of nuclear families. In
the first type the father works and the mother cares for the children. In the second type, the mother works
and the father stays at home with the children. In the third type of family, both parents work. This last type
of family is the most common in the USA and Canada.
In an extended family, different family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins
live together. In many areas of the world, such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and
Southern Europe, this type of family is common.
Recently in some countries, couples are choosing to have only one child. These types of families are
called single child families. Some people believe that children raised in these kinds of families are spoilt,
selfish and lonely. But research doesn't support this.
Some families have no children at all. The couples that make up these families sometimes make the
choice not to have children because they want to have more free time. Some couples choose not to have
children for financial reasons.
Families with only one parent are called single parent families. There are several causes of these
types of families. The first reason is divorce. Another reason is that the one of the parent dies, leaving the
surviving parent widowed. Additionally, some parents never get married in the first place.
When the husband or wife in a marriage brings children with them from a past marriage, this is
called a blended or reconstituted family. This type of family has become more common due to the increase
in divorces. For some children this kind of family can be good because there are two parents, instead of just
one. But there can also be some difficulties as the two new families try to become one.

English 11
21

As the basis of all societies, families of all types are very important. This is true now and will be
true in the future as well.

Match each description of a family on the left with a type of family on the right.
1. Two years ago Darrel and Tanya got married. Before they got married Childless Family
Darrel had three sons and Tanya had a daughter. Now they all live together.
2. Hiroshi's wife died several years ago of cancer. He now raises his two Blended Family
sons Tomo and Taiki by himself.

3. Jose and Maria live with their 3 children. They also live with their Single Child Family
parents, an uncle and an aunt.
4. Husband and wife Dalee and Meegung have been married for two years. Nuclear Family
They are both very successful business people and don't have any children.
5. Harry and his wife Jane have been married for six years. They have one Extended Family
daughter named Melissa.
6. Jack and Betty, who have been married for over 15 years, have two Single Parent Family
children named Daniel and Chirstine.
II. Read the text and answer the questions.
Teenagers today are undergoing lots of changes. They are between the ages of 13 to 19. Many of
them are undergoing physical and emotional changes. These are the stages in the teenagers that are
unavoidable.
The teenage life is full of happiness, sadness, enjoyment and it can be interesting too. This is
because in the teenage life that a teenager is subjected to physical growth, hormonal changes and even
dilemmas. They may be in a stage of conflict like undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.
Making friends is part and parcel of a teenager's life. The teenager should enjoy life by making
friends with peers and participate in healthy activities such as camping, picnic, kayaking, swimming and so
on. Through friends, a teenager learns to joke, laugh and play to release stress and tension. By making
friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys and even eases the bitterness of life's downtime.
Many teenagers are very conscious of their physical outlook. It is at this part of their life that beauty
strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up with the latest trends for dressing, hairstyle and even
look good with their physical image. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to slim down in order to look
attractive. Others may suffer from acne and pimples that may scar their external beauty.
Another stage in a teenager is the teenager's love life. There are chemical changes in the body and
so the teenager tends to have a sense of feelings for the opposite sex. They will experience love and
rejection. These sometimes will affect their studies.
Parents tend to play a role in a teenager's life. Parents today are overly concern over their children's
well-being. They like to control their freedom and have a say what the teenagers do. Hence, we have cases
of disagreements, disputes, quarrels and even runaways from homes among some teenage girls.
There are also negative problems that may pop out during a teenage life. A teenager is not well
guided may fall into the wrong path. Some teenagers are involved in drugs trafflicking, smoking, drinking

English 11
22

and smuggling of illegal products into the country. Others tend to vent their anger by vandalizing public
property. We have those with no regard and respect for the elders.
The mass media has an influence over the lives of many teenagers. Violent action movies, obscene
shows and pornography surfed from the Internet can bring a disastrous effect on a teenager's life. There will
be more harm than good if nothing is done.
1. From paragraph 1
(a) What is the age range of a teenager?
(b) What are the changes that a teenager undergoes?

2. From paragraph 2
(a) Why is it that a teenage life is full of ups and downs?
(b) What kind of conflict does a teenage face?

3. From paragraph 3
List activities that a teenager can get involved in.

4. From paragraph 4
What are the things that a teenager likes to keep up to date with?

5. From paragraph 8
State why parents are worried about their teenagers. Answer in your own words.

III. Read an article about how to make a list of family rules and answer reading comprehension
questions.
Family Rules

English 11
23

Would you like to have a boss who didn't specify what the rules were in your work place but
punished you if you broke these unknown rules? You would feel pretty frustrated, wouldn't you? That's
how children feel when they are punished for breaking rules that have never been explained to them.
Family rules are necessary to make clear what is expected of children and to outline punishments for
misbehavior and rewards for good behavior.
When creating a list of family rules remember to be specific both in what is expected and the
punishment or reward. Gather the family together when creating the list of family rules. Involve children in
the creation of the rules and get their input as to appropriate rewards or punishments. Explain to children
why youd like to include certain rules. They'll accept them more if they understand that they are for their
own benefit and safety.
You can create the list of rules in the form of a contract which all family members sign. Before
completing the contract make sure that all family members are in agreement as to the wording of the rules
and the punishments or rewards for each rule.
Once the rules have been created, remember to be consistent with their enforcement. The list of
rules doesn't mean anything unless it is consistently enforced.
1. Why do we need a list of family rules?

2. Why should we explain to children the reason behind the rules?

3. Who should sign the family rules contract?

4. What could happen if you don't consistently enforce the rules?

IV. Read and fill in the blanks.

individuals according along control teens
(1. ) to the results of a survey in USA WEEKEND Magazine, there isn't
really a generation gap. The magazine's "Teens & Parents" survey shows that today's generation of young
people generally get (2. _ ) well with their parents and appreciate the way they're
being raised. Most feel that their parents (3. ) them, and they believe their parents
consider family as the No. 1 priority in their lives. Although more than a third of (4. )
have something in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, it is usually nothing more
harmful than a diary or a CD.
Such results may seem surprising in the context of the violent events that people hear about in the
media. Maybe because of the things they hear, parents worry that their own kids might get out of (5.

better. The survey shows us that today's teens are loving and sensible. They are certainly happier than the
angry people in the teenage stereotypes we all know about. True, some teenagers are very angry, and we
need to (6. _) their needs, but the great majority of teens are not like that at all.
In contrast to some stereotypes, most teens believe they must be understanding about differences
among (7. ). Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged
people. When they talk about themselves, their friends and their families, they sound positive and proud.
Generally, these are very nice kids.
Is this spirit of harmony a change from the past? Only a generation ago, parent child relations were
described as the "(8. ) gap". Yet even then, things were not so bad. Most kids in the
1960s and 1970s shared their parents' basic values.
Perhaps, however, it is true that American families are growing closer at the beginning of this new
millennium. Perhaps there is less to fight about, and the (9. _) of drug abuse and other

Exercise 8. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Fathers in today families are spending more time with their children than at any point in the past 100
years. (106) the number of hours the average woman spends at home with her children has
declined since the early 1900s, as more and more women enter the workforce, there has been a
decrease in the number of children per family and an increase in (107) attention to each child.
As a result, mothers today in the United States, (108) those who work part- or full-time, spend
almost twice as much time with each child as mothers did in the 1920s. People (109) raised
children in the 1940s and 1950s typically report that their own adult children and grandchildren
communicate far better with their kids and spend more time (110) with homework than they
did.
America's children are also safer today than they've (111) been. An infant was four times more
likely to die in the 1950s than today. A parent then was 27 per cent more likely to lose an older teen
(112) death.
If we look back over the last millennium, we can see that families have always been diverse. In each
period, families have solved one set of problems only to face new (113) _ . What works for a
family in one economic and cultural setting doesn't work for a family in another. What's helpful
(114) one stage of a family's life may be (115) at the next stage. If there is one lesson to
be (116) from the last millennium of family history, it's that families always have to (117)
with a changing world.

Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the
youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother
used to do - she works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the
newspaper headlines in 1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final
show, her clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known
models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news around the world. Stella hadn't
been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time working in the fashion world
since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People said
the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and her famous parents but
Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to wear herself,
although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001
Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened stores around the world and won many
prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she
uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.
118. Which of the following is NOT true about Stella's family?
A. She has three sisters. B. One of her sisters is a photographer.
C. She is the youngest. D. Her father is a famous singer.

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
In American, although most men still do less housework than their wives, that gap has been halved
since the 1960s. Today, 41 per cent of couples say they share childcare equally, compared with 25
percent in 1985. Men's greater involvement at home is good for their relationships with their
spouses, and also good for their children. Hands-on fathers make better parents than men who let
their wives do all the nurturing and childcare. They raise sons who are more expressive and
daughters who are more likely to do well in school - especially in math and science.
In 1900, life expectancy in the United States was 47 years, and only four per cent of the population
was 65 or older. Today, life expectancy is 76 years, and by 2025, it is estimated about 20 per cent of
the U.S. population will be 65 or older. For the first time, a generation of adults must plan for the
needs of both their parents and their children. Most Americans are responding with remarkable
grace. One in four households gives the equivalent of a full day a week or more in unpaid care to an
aging relative, and more than half say they expect to do so in the next 10 years. Older people are
less likely to be impoverished or incapacitated by illness than in the past, and have more opportunity
to develop a relationship with their grandchildren.
Even some of the choices that worry people the most are turning out to be manageable. Divorce
rates are likely to remain high, and in many cases marital breakdown causes serious problems for
both adults and kids. Yet when parents minimize conflict, family bonds can be maintained. And
many families are doing this. More non-custodial parents are staying in touch with their children.
Child-support receipts are rising. A lower proportion of children from divorced families are
exhibiting problems than in earlier decades. And stepfamilies are learning to maximize children's
access to supportive adults rather than cutting them off from one side of the family.
123. Which of the following can be the most suitable heading for paragraph 1?
A. Men's involvement at home
B. Benefits of men's involvement at home
C. Drawbacks of men's involvement at home
D. Children studying math and science
124. Nowadays, of men help take care of children.
A. 50% B. 41% C. 25% D. 20%
125. According to the writer, old people in the USA .
A. are experiencing a shorter life expectancy
B. receive less care from their children than they used to
C. have better relationships with their children and grandchildren
D. may live in worst living conditions
126. Which of the following is NOT true about divorce rates in the USA?

GRAMMAR

I. LINKING VERBS
1. Định nghĩa
Động từ nối (Linking verbs) là các động từ dùng để diễn tả trạng thái / bản chất của chủ ngữ thay vì
miêu tả hành động của chủ ngữ.
2. Cấu trúc
Form: S + linking verbs + Complement (Adj/ N)
3. Ví dụ
E.g:
- Hung looks happy. ("look" là động từ nối; "happy" là tính từ làm bổ ngữ cho chủ ngữ "Hung")
- The football match was exciting. ("was" là động từ nối; "good" là tính từ làm bổ ngữ)
- Lan becomes the president of this club. ("become" là động từ nối, "the president of this club"
là
cụm danh từ làm bổ ngữ)
Những động từ nối thường gặp là:

be (thì, là, ở) become (trở nên) remain (vẫn) stay (vẫn)

appear (dường như) seem (dường như) sound (nghe có vẻ) taste (có vị)
feel (cảm thấy) look (trông có vẻ) smell (có mùi) get (trở nên)
prove (tỏ ra) grow (trở nên) turn (trở nên)
4. Lưu ý
- Phía sau động từ nối là tính từ chứ không phải trạng từ.
E. g: She feels unhappy.
- Động từ nối không được chia ở dạng tiếp diễn

English 11
39

Một số động từ ở phía trên có thể làm chức năng là động từ nối (linking verbs) hoặc là động từ thường
(ordinary verbs).
E.g 1:
- She looks angry. (Cô ấy trông có vẻ tức giận). "look" là động từ nối
- She looks at the man angrily. (Cô ấy nhìn vào người đàn ông một cách giận dữ.) "look" là động
từ thường
E.g 2:
- The food tastes delicious. (Thức ăn ngon quá.) "taste" là động từ nối
- They tasted the food. (Họ đã nếm thức ăn.) "taste" là động từ thường
E.g 3:
- This house smells musty. (Ngôi nhà có mùi mốc.) "smell" là động từ nối
- The woman is smelling the flowers gingerly. (Người phụ nữ đang ngửi hương thơm của hoa một cách
thận trọng.) "smell" là động từ thường

(that/who/which clause)
E.g: It was in 2008 that we first met each other. (Chính vào năm 2008 chúng tôi đã gặp nhau lần đầu
tiên.)
Note: Các đại từ who, which có thể được dùng để thay thế cho "that". When và where cũng có thể được
sử dụng (informal English), nhưng how và why thì không thể thay thế cho "that" trong câu chẻ.

thức số nhiều (are/ were) có thể được sử dụng trước danh từ số nhiều.

- Chúng ta có thể đặt mệnh đề what ở đầu hoặc cuối câu.
E.g: What makes me happy is his love. / His love is what makes me happy. (Điều mà làm tôi hạnh phúc

C. READING
I. Reading comprehension on Online Dating and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
It has long been seen as a less romantic way of meeting Mr Right. But finding love over the internet is
a good way of meeting a marriage partner, research has showed. It found that one in five of those who have
used dating sites to find their perfect partner have gone on to marry someone they met over the web.
The study, by consumer group Which?, also revealed that more than half of the 1,504 people
questioned had been on a date with someone they met in cyberspace. Sixty-two per cent agreed that it was
easier to meet someone on a dating site than in other ways, such as in a pub or club, or through friends. At the
same time, the under 35s were more likely to know someone who had been on a date or had a long-term
relationship with someone they met through online dating.
Jess Ross, editor of which.co.uk, said: 'Online dating is revolutionising the way people meet each
other. Switching the computer on could be the first step to success!
According to industry surveys, more than 22 million people visited dating websites in 2007, and more
than two million Britons are signed up to singles sites.
Of the 147 couples who took part in the study, 61 per cent said their relationships had high levels of
these three components. The researchers also found that men were more likely to find true love on the internet
than women.
Dr Jeff Gavin, who led the team, said: “To date, there has been no systematic study of love in the
context of relationships formed via online dating sites. “But with the popularity of online dating, it is
imperative we understand the factors that influence satisfaction in relationships formed in this way."
Charlotte Harper, of Match.com, said: 'We were thrilled to find so many of our former members have
found love. 'It supports our belief that the internet does in fact encourage old-fashioned courtship.
Statements (T) (F)
1. Online dating is seen as modern romance.
2. Research has shown that online dating is not a good way of meeting people.
3. Most people who took part in the survey said it is easier to meet people online than
elsewhere.
4. Jess Ross thinks online dating is changing the way people meet each other.
5. Less than 20 million people visited dating websites in 2007.

II. Read the passage and complete the task that follow.
In our modern life, we can watch television or surf the Internet to find out about what is happening
around the world but our neighborhood can be a place we never really know. A survey has been conducted to
find out some people's thought of talking with their neighbors. Here came the results:
A.
We had been living here for five years and had never really got to know our neighbors. Then a
tremendous hurricane came and crashed our house. Our neighbors came round to offer us food and help. When
finally recovering, we still lived in the same neighborhood and never spoke to our neighbors. I don't know
why.
B.
My neighbor went to work on the same route with me. I passed over her every morning when walking
to work but never said hello. One morning I said "hello", then a "good morning" and a friendly smile were
exchanged between us for the next week. But then, she changed her way to work. I feel that some neighbors
may prefer being left undisturbed.
C.
I think it's very nice to come up and talk with your neighbors. Take me as an example. I commute to
work every day by bus. One day, I saw Harry on the station platform. We exchanged nods and smiles and
eventually he came up to me and said hello. He told me that he had been my new neighbor for three weeks but
I didn't even know. We started chatting since then and got to know each other better. Then, guess what? We
are now engaged and are getting married next year.
Write the letter A, B or C that indicates the person next to their description/ opinion below.
1. suffered from a natural disaster.
2. is in a relationship with one of her neighbors.
3. thinks that some people may find talking with neighbors annoying

III. Read the passage and complete the tasks that follow.
Huyen Anh is introducing herself and her closest friends.
Many people consider me sociable because I am keen on taking part in community activities. I find it
easy to start a conversation and get on well with different kinds of people, so I have numerous friends. Among
them, Tram Anh, Minh and Bich are my closest ones.
Tram Anh is the tallest girl in my group. She looks beautiful with a straight nose, long black hair, fair
skin and dimples. She is interested in helping the poor and the disabled. She volunteers to teach English at the
local orphanage every Sunday. She also spends a lot of time helping other classmates to improve their English.
English 11
 53

She is so gentle and generous that her teachers and friends adore her. Besides, she is a diligent student who
always gets good marks.
Similar to Tram Anh, Minh is very outgoing and warm-hearted. He enjoys participating in social
activities, such as blood donation and environmental protection campaigns. He is quite talkative and
humorous, so he is sometimes regarded as a class clown who always makes others laugh by telling jokes and
pretending to do silly things. His jokes, however, sometimes annoy his friends. He also receives many
compliments from teachers for being so intelligent and hard-working. He is not only our class's star soccer
player but also a talented amateur singer.
Unlike Tram Anh and Minh, Bich is quite shy in public. At break time, she enjoys staying in the
classroom to finish her homework before going home. Also, she likes the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the
school library. In her free time, she prefers reading books and helping her mother prepare meals.
Although each of us has different personalities, we share a number of common hobbies and have a lot
of fun together. I find myself lucky to have them as my intimate friends.

IV. Read the passage and do the task that follows/do the tasks that follow.
Generally, friendship exists for three reasons: virtue; usefulness; or pleasure. When virtue is the reason,
friendship exists for the sake of friendship; where both like each other and cherish each other for some
creditable values in the other's personality. You know that you would even die to swear your friendship for
that person. You also know that the other would make you live than die for him/her regardless of intelligence,
handsomeness, utility or the capability of giving pleasure.

English 11
 54

A friendship of the second kind is formed for the practical value of it. How useful so and so is to me?
What can I benefit from him? Will he use his reputation and influence to fetch me a good job? Thus a person
may maintain relationship for practical, professional, and political reasons. However, once we do away with
the usefulness, the friendship eventually dies.
Friendship of the third kind is formed essentially on account of the pleasure the relationship can give.
He is a joker. The moment he enters, you forget all your worries. She is cute, intelligent and charming. The
very notion that she is your friend makes you feel proud. The point rests here: How good is he/she in giving
me pleasure physically, emotionally, mentally and materially?
Now to the question: Which of the three is good? The second type is good, yet since basing on utility,
it falls short of longevity and quality. The third type is good too, but how long one enjoys only pleasure in
life? But the first type, virtue-based friendship is fantastic for this reason: it lasts till the end of this universe.
1. From paragraph 1, we can infer that .
A. Real friendship does not count one person's cleverness, appearance, utility and his/her aptitude for
creating fun.
B. You have to die in order to prove your friendship.
C. Personality is not an important factor in choosing a friend.
D. There are two main motives for friendship.
2. Which of the following has the closet meaning to “do away with” in paragraph 2?
A. kill B. escape C. get rid of D. ask for
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the reading passage?
A. Friendship basing on the capacity for creating pleasure still possesses some uncertainty
B. Friendship requires a lot of patience and efforts from both sides
C. Friendship usually does not last long if it is built on materialistic need
D. Virtue-based friendship's core is a friend's creditable traits in his or her personality
4. Synonym(s) of utility in paragraph 4 can be found in:
A. paragraph 1 B. paragraph 2 C. paragraph 3 D. paragraph 4
5. Which kind of friendship is most unshakable?
A. The first B. The second C. The third D. Not mentioned

In many aspects of life, effective communication skills are extremely important. With good
communication skills, people can enjoy better interpersonal relationships with friends and family. The
following are some guides that can help you improve your communication skills.
Learn to listen
Listening is not the same as hearing you should learn to listen not only to the words being spoken but
also how they are being spoken and the non-verbal messages sent with them. You shouldn't think about what
to say next while listening; instead clear your mind and focus on the message being received. Your friends,
colleagues and other acquaintances will appreciate your good listening skills.
Try to understand other people's emotions
To understand other people's emotions, you should be sympathetic to other people's misfortunes and
congratulate them on their achievements. To do this, you need to be aware of what is going on in other
people's lives. It's crucial to maintain eye contact and do not be afraid to ask others for their opinions as this
will help to make them feel valued.
Encourage
It's advised that you offer words and actions of encouragement, as well as praise, to others, which make
other people feel welcome, valued and appreciated in your communications. If you let others know that they
are valued, they are much more likely to give you their best. You should also try to ensure that everyone get

Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
In a healthy relationship, both partners respect, trust and embrace (106) _ differences. Both partners
are able to communicate (107) their needs and listen to their partner, and work to resolve conflict
in a rational and (108) way. But maintaining a healthy relationship (109) for skills many
young people are never taught. A lack of these skills, and (110) up in a society that sometimes
celebrates violence or in a community that experiences a high (111) of violence, can lead to
unhealthy and even violent relationships among youth.
Dating violence (112) psychological or emotional violence, such as controlling behaviours or
jealousy; physical violence, such as hitting or punching. More than 20 per cent of all adolescents report
having experienced (113) psychological or physical violence from an intimate partner - and
underreporting remains a concern.
Adolescents, (114) older adolescents, often have romantic relationships, which are long-term,
serious, and intimate. Society has a responsibility to provide young people with the resources, skills,
and space (115) to safeguard their physical and emotional well being in these relationships.
Youth-serving professionals, educators, and parents can help young people in need access services to
(116) dating abuse victimisation. Research also has shown that programmes intended to prevent
dating violence can be (117) .

Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Let's see if you can correctly answer the following question: At what age are Latter-day Saint youth
allowed to date? Of course, you probably immediately said, "16". OK, then, how about this one: At
what age are you allowed to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? You may be thinking, “Um, 16. Didn't I
just answer that?" Well, if that was your answer, then, even though you aced the first question, you
missed the second one. Just because you can date when you turn 16 doesn't mean you should
immediately start looking for a steady boyfriend or girlfriend.

English 11
67

For decades, prophets have preached that youth who are in no position to marry should not pair off
exclusively. For instance, President Hinckley (1910-2008) said, "When you are young, do not get
involved in steady dating. When you reach an age where you think of marriage, then is the time to
become so involved. But you boys who are in high school don't need this, and neither do the girls”. So
what does this counsel really mean, and what are the reasons for it?
To begin with, there are two different types of dating: casual dating and steady (or serious) dating. The
distinction between the two has to do with exclusivity. With casual dating, there is no exclusivity. The
two people aren't “a couple” or “an item”, and they don't refer to each other as a “boyfriend” or
“girlfriend”. They don't pair off. People who are casually dating are simply friends. This is the kind of
dating the Church encourages you to do after you turn 16. You should put aside a need to find a “one
and only”. If you're dating casually, you don't expect a relationship to become a romance. You have
fun; you do a variety of things with a variety of people. On the other hand, steady dating means the
couple is exclusive with one another. They expect each other not to date anyone else or to be
emotionally or physically close with other people. Couples who date seriously consider the future,
because there is a real possibility they could stay together. This is the kind of dating the Church
encourages young adults (generally, people in their 20s) to progress toward, because that's the age
when they should be thinking of marrying.
You should avoid becoming exclusive as teenagers, because an exclusive relationship requires a high
level of commitment from both partners, and you're not in a position to make that kind of commitment
as teens – neither emotionally, physically, nor in terms of your future plans. As President Boyd K.
Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, has said to youth, “Avoid steady dating.
Steady dating is courtship, and surely the beginning of courtship ought to be delayed until you have
emerged from your teens”.
118. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .
A. dating doesn't mean having exclusive boyfriend or girlfriend
B. teenagers are supposed to have a steady boyfriend or girlfriend
C. teenagers date as many boyfriends or girlfriends as they can
D. young people shouldn't be allowed to date at 16
119. The word “aced” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. gave up B. misled C. succeeded in D. understood
120. According to the passage, what is NOT true about casual dating?
A. You can be friend with each other. B. You don't pair off exclusively.
C. You find your "one and only”. D. You meet different kinds of people.
121. It is stated in the passage that steady dating .
A. includes a variety of things with a variety of people
B. is courtship that you ought to have in your teens
C. requires hardly any commitment
D. suits people who are in their 20s
122. Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage?
A. At what age are young people allowed to date?

B. Casual dating or steady dating.

C. Make your teenage dating by keeping it casual.

Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
It has long been seen as a less romantic way of meeting Mr Right. But finding love over the Internet is
a good way of meeting a marriage partner, research has showed. It found that one in five of those who
have used dating sites to find their perfect partner have gone on to marry someone they met over the
web. The study, by consumer group Which?, also revealed that more than half of the 1,504 people
questioned had been on a date with someone they met in cyberspace. Sixty-two per cent agreed that it
was easier to meet someone on a dating site than in other ways, such as in a pub or club, or through
friends. At the same time, the under-35s were more likely to know someone who had been on a date or
had a long-term relationship with someone they met through online dating. The survey also found that
Match.com and Dating Direct were the most popular dating websites.
Jess Ross, editor of which.co.uk, said: “Online dating is revolutionising the way people meet each
other. Switching the computer on could be the first step to success.” According to industry surveys,
more than 22 million people visited dating websites in 2007, and more than two million Britons are
signed up to singles sites. Previous research has shown that couples who get to know each other via
emails are more likely to see each other again after their first date. Two years ago, a study by Bath
University revealed that those who met on dating websites were 94 per cent more likely to see each
other after their first meeting than other couples. The researchers studied relationships formed on
online dating website Match.com over a six-month period. They found that consummate love -
described as a balance of passion, intimacy and commitment - was evident at around 12 months into a
relationship. Of the 147 couples who took part in the study, 61 per cent said their relationships had
high levels of these components. The researchers also found that men were more likely to find true
love on the Internet than women. Some 67 per cent of men but just 57 per cent of women said they had
experienced consummate love with an online partner.
Companionate love - a relationship with high levels of intimacy and commitment, but lower levels of
passion - was the next most frequently experienced form of love, exhibited by 16 per cent of the study
group. Dr Jeff Gavin, who led the team, said: “To date, there has been no systematic study of love in
the context-of relationships formed via online dating sites. But with the popularity of online dating, it is
imperative we understand the factors that influence satisfaction in relationships formed in this way.”
Charlotte Harper, of Match.com, said: “We were thrilled to find so many of our former members have
found love. It supports our belief that the Internet does in fact encourage old-fashioned courtship.”
123. According to the passage, online dating is seen as .
A. a modern romantic way of dating B. an economical way of dating
C. the fastest way to find a soul mate D. a great change in the way people meet
124. The words “cyberspace” in paragraph 2 probably means .
