and abusive drugs, are also highly addictive, making it hard for people to give them up or avoid
them.
• If you have a problem with one of these substances, then diet and exercise are the least of your
worries.
• While alcohol is fine in moderation for those who can tolerate it, tobacco and abusive drugs are
bad for everyone.
• But an even more common problem today is eating unhealthy, disease-promoting junk foods. If
you want to gain optimal health, you need to minimize your consumption of these foods.

KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)


I - Read the following passage about the importance of water, then choose the best answer to each of the
following questions.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water before
doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature, neither too hot nor
too cold.
Why should you drink this water? It helps clean out your kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion.
Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out
nutrients from our food.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water in one
sitting. It’s better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to
drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are probably
drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water.

II - Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F)
Mental health refers to a person’s emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Mental health is as
important as physical health to a full, active lifestyle. It is harder to define mental health than physical health,
because, in many cases, diagnosis depends on the individual’s perception of their experience.
With improvements in testing, however, some signs of some types of mental illness are now becoming
“visible” in CT scans and genetic testing. Mental health is not only the absence of depression, anxiety, or
another disorder. It also depends on the ability to enjoy life, bounce back after difficult experiences, achieve
balance...etc.
Physical and mental health are linked. If chronic illness affects a person’s ability to complete their regular
tasks, this may lead to depression and stress, for example, due to money problems. A mental illness such as
depression or anorexia nervosa can affect body weight and function. It is Important to approach “health” as a
whole, rather than its different types.
1. Mental health is even more important than physical health. 
2. Diagnosis of mental health depends on perception of experience. 
3. Mental illness is so complex that genetic testing cannot identify its signs. 
4. Uncompleted regular tasks may lead to depression and stress. 
5. People shouldn’t approach health by understanding its different types. 

từ love – loved love – loved

i, o), ta thêm “ed” bình thường.
+ Nếu trước “y” là một phụ âm, ta đổi “y”
thành “i” + “ed” Examples: stay - stayed stay - stayed

enjoy - enjoyed enjoy - enjoyed


Động từ một âm tiết, tận cùng bằng một
nguyên âm + một phụ âm (trừ những từ kết stop – stopped stop – stopped
thúc bằng h, w, x, y), ta phải gấp đôi phụ
âm trước khi thêm “ed” Examples: plan – planned plan – planned

VOCABULARY AND PRONUNCIATION


Quy tắc và cách phát âm đuôi -ED
Có 3 cách phát âm đuôi -ED là: /ɪd/ , /t/ hay /d/. -ED sẽ được đọc là /t/ (vô thanh) hoặc /d/ (hữu thanh) phụ
thuộc vào âm kết thúc của động từ là âm vô thanh hay âm hữu thanh.
m vô thanh: Nghĩa là những âm mà cổ họng bạn không rung khi bạn nói. Bạn đặt tay lên cổ họng và phát âm
chữ P. Bạn sẽ nhận thấy âm này bật ra bằng hơi từ miệng mà không phải từ cổ họng.
Âm hữu thanh: Nghĩa là những âm mà khi nói, chúng ta sẽ sử dụng dây thanh quản và tạo ra âm trong cổ. Bạn
có thể đặt tay lên cổ họng và phát âm chữ L. Bạn sẽ nhận thấy cổ hơi rung rung. Đó chính là âm hữu thanh.

Quy tắc 1: -ED đọc là /ɪd/


Một động từ tận cùng bằng /t/ hay /d/ thì -ed sẽ được đọc là /ɪd/. Vì một chữ đã tận cùng là ‘t’ và ‘d’ thì chúng
ta không thể đọc là /t/ hoặc /d/ được. Bởi lẽ người nghe sẽ rất khó nhận biết. Hơn nữa khó có thể đọc 2 âm ‘t’
hoặc 2 âm ‘d’ kế bên nhau.
– Ví dụ: Wanted /ˈwɒn.tɪd/, Needed /ˈniː.dɪd/, Added /ædɪd/,…

48
Quy tắc 2: -ED đọc là /t/
Nếu một từ kết thúc bằng một âm vô thanh, thì -ed sẽ được đọc theo cách vô thanh. Nghĩa là chúng ta sẽ đọc
thành /t/. Cụ thể, những từ kết thúc bằng các âm: /ʧ/, /s/, /k/, /f/, /p/, /θ/, /∫/ thì -ed sẽ được đọc là /t/.
– Ví dụ: Watched /wɒtʃt/, Missed /mɪst/, Hoped /hoʊpt/, Coughed /kɔːft/, Fixed /fɪkst/,…
Quy tắc 3: -ED đọc là /d/
Nếu một từ kết thúc bằng một âm hữu thanh, thì -ed sẽ được đọc theo cách hữu thanh. Nghĩa là những âm
đuôi không thuộc quy tắc 1 và quy tắc 2 thì ta sẽ đọc là /d/.
– Ví dụ: Lived /lɪvd/, Allowed /əˈlaʊd/,…
Các trường hợp ngoại lệ về phát âm đuôi ED
Đuôi -ED trong các động từ sau khi sử dụng như tính từ sẽ được phát âm là /ɪd/. Một số từ ngoại lệ như: aged,
blessed, crooked, dogged, learned, naked, ragged, wicked, wretched.
í dụ: An aged man /ɪd/, A blessed nuisance /ɪd/, A dogged persistence /ɪd/,…
Nhưng khi sử dụng như động từ, ta áp dụng quy tắc phát âm thông thường như các quy tắc ở trên nhé.
Ví dụ: He aged quickly /d/, He blessed me /t/, They dogged him /d/, He has learned well /d/.
Lưu ý:
Một số từ kết thúc bằng -ed được dùng làm tính từ/danh từ, đuôi -ed được phát âm là /id/:
1. aged /eɪdʒid/ (a): cao tuổi, lớn tuổi
aged /eɪdʒd/ (Vpast): trở nên già, làm cho già cỗi
2. blessed /blesid/ (a): thần thánh, thiêng liêng
3. crooked /krʊkid/ (a): cong, oằn, vặn vẹo

VOLUNTEERING TO HELP DESERT ANIMALS

“I love animals, so when I saw how the camels were dying, I thought I had to do something and make a
difference to save them.”
He was very excited about receiving this award. He said, “My life changed after I received the award, because it
opened a lot of doors for me. Many people contacted and helped me promote my campaign.”

impact moods and even inspire action.
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
Much of the music we listen to today is a mixture of styles from various countries and time periods. A lot of music
has roots in older traditional songs heard in many different countries around the world. Traditional, or folk music
is collected over decades. Younger generations learn these songs from their elders through practice and repetition.
Many people fear that traditional and older types of music are slowly disappearing, partly because they are less
likely to be written down or recorded. Also, younger generations may not find such music very appealing, so
once older generations pass away, the music may die out with them. Whole genres of music may go extinct.
Nowadays, there is a growing effort to preserve music in its many forms. Some researchers create field recordings
to capture live performances, others try to write out the music so that it can be studied and played by modem
musicians.

Insomnia is a serious problem that affects people of all age groups. While there are many approaches to treating

classical music can be a safe, effective, and affordable remedy.
In a study looking at college students, participants listened to classical music, an audio book, or nothing at all.

GRAMMAR
A. Cách dùng Some/Many/Any/A Few/ A Little/ A Lot Of/ Lots Of trong tiếng Anh
1. Cách dùng Some
Some là một từ định lượng rất phổ biến và được sử dung rộng rãi trong Tiếng Anh, có 3 điểm cần nhớ về cách
sử dụng từ định lượng này như sau:
 Dùng trong câu khẳng định
72
 Đứng trước danh từ đếm được số nhiều và danh từ không đếm được
 Some cũng được dùng trong câu hỏi
VD:
1. I have some friends
2. Can you give me some flowers?
3. Where can I find some water?
Lưu ý:
Some không được dùng để mô tả cả một hệ thống hoặc một nhóm lớn sự vật hiện tượng, ví dụ với câu sau:

We need to rebuild the house and get rid the old furniture.
Babbies is the most vulnerable thing in the world.

Có thể sử dụng some trước số từ cụ thể để thể hiện nghĩa “gần bằng”. Lúc này, some sẽ được phát âm là /sʌm/.
Ví dụ: Some fifty percent of all students disagree with the new rules. (=Approciatemately 50% students...)
2. Cách dùng Any
Ngược lại với Some, Any thường được dùng với nghĩa phủ định, không chắc chăn. Cách sử dụng của từ định
lượng này như sau:
 Dùng trong câu phủ định và câu hỏi
 Đứng trước danh từ đếm được số nhiều và danh từ không đếm được
 Thường được sử dụng trong các trường hợp mà tình hình không rõ ràng.
VD: There aren’t any books in the shel
Lưu ý: Any rất hay đi sau giới từ "before" hoặc trong câu so sánh.
Ví dụ:
 She is the most beautiful person than anything I have met in the world.
 Get ready for trouble before anything happens.
3. Cách dùng Many
Khác với Some và Any có thể dùng cho cả danh từ đếm được không đếm được, Many có cách sử dụng đặc biệt
hơn, như sau:
 Thường dùng trong câu hỏi và câu phủ định, câu khẳng định được dùng ít hơn
 Đi với danh từ đếm được số nhiều
 Ngoài ra, trong các trường hợp nghiêm túc, đặc biệt trong văn viết học thuật, người ta sẽ ưu tiên sử
dụng many (of).
VD:
 Do you have many cars?
 There is a rumor that she have many ex-es.
 Many peolple argued that this new policy is not suitable at this time.
4. Cách dùng A lot of/ lots of
Một cặp từ chỉ định lượng quan trọng trong Tiếng Anh khác mà bạn cần nắm được là A lot of và lots of.
 Được dùng trong câu khẳng đinh và câu nghi vấn
 Đi với danh từ không đếm được và danh từ đếm được số nhiều
 Thường mang nghĩa “informal”
Hãy chú ý đến chính tả, không ít người mắc phải lỗi viết sai với 2 từ đơn giản này, ví dụ như A lots of hay Lot
of đều là những từ được viết sai.
VD:
 We spent a lot of money on online shoping in commercial platforms.
 Should students do lots of homework?
5. Cách dùng A few
Có 1 điều bạn cần nhớ rằng : A few là 1 từ định lượng thể hiện nghĩa tích cực, ít những vẫn đủ. Nắm được điều
này sẽ giúp bạn sử dụng chính xác trong giao tiếp cũng như thi cử. 2 cách sử dụng chính của A few là:
 Dùng trong câu khẳng định
 Dùng với danh từ đếm được số nhiều
VD:
73
 She enjoys her life here. She has a few friends and they meet quite often.
-> (Cô ấy thích cuộc sống ở đây. Cô ấy có một vài người bạn và họ gặp nhau rất thường xuyên). Ở đây a few
friends nói đến số lượng người bạn mà cô ấy có là một vài người chứ không phải ám chỉ cô ấy có ít bạn.
6. Cách dùng A little
2 cách sử dụng của A little là:
 Dùng trong câu khẳng định
 Đi với danh từ không đếm được
A little giống với a few là
VD:
 Have you got any money? - Yes, a little. Do you want to borrow some? (Bạn có tiền không? Có, một ít.
Anh có muốn vay không?)
 A little ở đây hàm ý là có không nhiều nhưng đủ cho anh muợn một ít.

KỸ NĂNG
DO YOU KNOW?
BUN CHA
• Pho might be Vietnam’s most famous dish, but bun cha is the top choice when it comes to
lunchtime in the capital.
• Just look for the clouds of meaty smoke after 11 a.m. when street-side restaurants start grilling up
small balls of seasoned pork and slices of marinated pork belly over a charcoal fire.
• Once they’re charred and crispy the pieces of pork are served with a large bowl of a fish sauce-
heavy broth, a basket of herbs and a helping of rice noodles.
KỸ NĂNG ĐỌC (READING SKILLS)
I - Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).
Bun cha became an international attention overnight after US President Barack Obama and celebrity chef
Anthony Bourdain were pictured eating the dish together in Hanoi. Their choice of this dish is now surprise as
bun cha originated from the Old Quarter in Hanoi and has been one of the city’s signature dishes for hundreds of
years. What makes this dish special is the intense preparation involved in making it; minced pork must be
marinated overnight to fully absorb the flavor of herbs and shaped into balls, keeping attention to make sure the
meat is tender and juicy. The sauce is what makes the dish spectacular; a good sauce will give a balance between
the sweetness of the meat and the saltiness of the fish sauce. The Hanoi traditional dish is served only at lunchtime
and comes with rice vermicelli, fresh vegies and herbs such as basils, coriander.

5. Tourists can always find a place which serves this traditional dish at any time in a day. 
II - Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Egg coffee, called Cà Phê Trứng in Vietnamese, was first invented by Nguyen Giang in 1946. There was a
shortage of milk in Hanoi due to the French War. Mr. Nguyen creatively began adding whisked eggs to his coffee
instead.
The original version was a bit, well, eggy. But over time the recipe was modified with the addition of sugar,
condensed milk, and even Laughing Cow cheese. No one knows the recipe for sure since it’s a secret recipe.
These days Egg Coffee is a staple of Hanoi coffee culture and a must-try while in Hanoi!
What does it taste like? Well it’s incredibly thick and rich and creamy. Closer to a dessert than a beverage. Liquid
tiramisu is the most accurate description we’ve heard.
Nguyen Giang still has a café where you can try his famous recipe, or you can grab a cup of Egg Coffee at dozens
of coffee shops all over Hanoi.

GRAMMAR -PREPOSITION
Giới từ là gì?
Trong ngữ pháp, giới từ (preposition) là những từ chỉ thời gian, vị trí… chỉ sự liên quan giữa các từ khác trong
cụm, trong câu văn. Giới từ được sử dụng trong câu với vai trò gắn kết các từ, cụm từ để giúp bạn hiểu rõ hơn
câu văn, ngữ cảnh.
Ví dụ: I was born in 2000: Tôi được sinh ra vào năm 2000
Câu này có giới từ là in, và bạn không thể bỏ từ này đi được nếu muốn câu có nghĩa đúng.
Vị trí của Giới từ
Trước danh từ, ví dụ: at present, by car, for sale,…
Vài trường hợp có mạo từ ở giữa: in a hurry, at the front,…
Sau danh từ, ví dụ: reason for…, belief in…, effect on…
Sau tính từ, ví dụ: afraid of, identical to, different from, …
Sau động từ, think of, forget about, pull out,…
Giới từ chỉ thời gian và nơi chốn trong tiếng Anh
Các giới từ thường gặp

– At: vào lúc (thường đi với giờ) – I get up at 6.00


– On: vào (thường đi với ngày) – The book on the table
– In: vào (thường đi với tháng, năm, mùa, thế kỷ) – On my birthday, on Saturday
1) Giới từ chỉ
– Before: trước – Before my mother came home, my father had watered all the plants in
thời gian:
the garden
– After: sau – After David had gone home, we arrived
– During: (trong khoảng) đi với danh từ chỉ thời gian – I fell asleep during the film

-AT: Được sử dụng khi có – Một điểm: at the beginning, at the end, at the top, at the
bottom, … – Một điểm dừng chân tạm thời: at the bus stop, hotel, airport, party, …

Thơ về giới từ chỉ thời gian
bài thơ về giới từ chỉ thời gian nhằm giúp những bạn nhanh thuộc bài hơn, hãy cùng tham khảo nhé
91
“ IN ” năm, “ IN ” tháng, “ IN ” mùa
Sáng, chiều, và tối thì vừa ba “ IN ”
Đổi giờ lấy “ AT ” làm tin
Tính ngày, tính thứ phải rinh đến “ ON ”
Chính trưa, đêm tối hỏi dồn
Xin thưa “ AT ” đúng hoàn toàn cả hai
Còn như ngày tháng thêm dài
Thì “ ON ” đặt trước không sai chỗ nào
Quy tắc hình tam giác trong giới từ
Quy tắc hình tam giác được biết tới như là 1 quy tắc giúp ghi nhớ cách dùng giới từ in, on, at và cách sử
dụng của chúng.
Ba giới từ chỉ thời gian, vị trí “in”, “on”, “at” rất dễ gây nhầm lẫn. Quy tắc hình phễu được khá nhiều người sử
dụng để giúp bạn giải quyết vấn đề này. Tưởng tượng cách sử dụng “in”,”on”, “at” như một tam giác ngược,
hoặc chiếc phếu. Chiếc phễu này lọc dần các cụm từ chỉ thời gian, địa điểm với quy tắc giảm dần mức độ
chung chung, tăng dần mức độ cụ thể.

92
93
GIẢI THÍCH QUY TẮC HÌNH TAM GIÁC TRONG GIỚI TỪ
 In
To nhất của phễu là giành cho giới từ in – chỉ những thứ lớn nhất, chung chung nhất. Với thời gian, “in” dùng
trước những từ chỉ thời gian khái quát nhất như “century” (thế kỷ) cho đến “week” (tuần).
Ví dụ: in the 20th century, in the 1980’s, in March, in the third week of April, in the future.
Ngoại lệ: in + buổi: in the morning, in the evening, in the afternoon
Về địa điểm, “in” dùng cho những địa điểm lớn như country (quốc gia), cho đến village, neighborhoods (làng,
vùng).
Ví dụ: In the United States, in Miami, in my neighborhood. “In” dùng thời gian từ chung nhất cho đến week
(tuần), địa điểm từ chung nhất cho đến thị trấn, làng xóm ngoại trừ in the morning, afternoon, evening.
 On
Phần giữa của phễu giành cho “on”, tương ứng với địa điểm cụ thể hơn, thời gian chi tiết hơn so với “”in”. Về
thời gian, “on” dùng cho ngày cụ thể, hoặc một dịp nào đó.
Ví dụ: on my birthday, on Saturday, on the weekend (United States), on June 8th.
Ngoại lệ: on my lunch break. Về địa điểm, “on” dùng cho một vùng tương đối dài, rộng như đường phố, bãi
biển…
Ví dụ: on Broadway Street, on the beach, on my street.
 At
Phần chóp phễu, tương ứng với thời gian địa điểm cụ thể nhất, giành cho giới từ “at”. Về thời gian, “at” dùng
cho mốc thời gian cụ thể, thời điểm, khoảnh khắc.
Ví dụ: at 9:00 PM, at lunch, at dinner, at the start of the party, at sunrise, at the start of the movie, at the
moment.
Ngoại lệ: at night. Về địa điểm, “at” dùng cho địa chỉ, địa điểm cụ thể.
Ví dụ: at 345 broadway street, at the store, at my house. Như vậy, cách dùng giới từ về thời gian, địa điểm của
ba giới từ “in”, “on”, “at” tuân theo quy tắc hình phễu, ngoại trừ một vài ngoại lệ như trên.
