Exercise 4: Complete the following sentences with no more than three words.
Disadvantages of watching television
Sex, crime, and violence are frequently depicted on television and may have negative effects on
impressionable children (and adults!). Kids who see violent acts are more likely to display aggressive or
violent behavior and also to believe that the world is a scary place and that something bad is going happen
to them. Ongoing studies have shown a lasting correlation between watching violence on television and
aggression that begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. Viewers sometimes imitate violent,
criminal, sexual, or other risky behavior they see on television... and end up in trouble, in jail, or in a
hospital as a result.
Watching too much television is not good for your health. Studies have shown that there is a correlation
between watching television and obesity. Excessive TV watching (more than 3 hours a day) can also
contribute to sleep difficulties, behavior problems, lower grades, and other health issues.
Television makes us antisocial, taking the place of family and friends.
It’s a waste of time. Watching television fills the time a person might have spent doing important,
enriching things like interacting socially with other human beings, being physically active, discovering
the outdoors, reading, using one’s own imagination, or accomplishing other things like working or doing
homework or chores, or spending time with enriching hobbies like art, music, etc.
Television might be addictive. For those who watch a lot, it’s very hard to quit, so it is similar to a
dependency like alcoholism or any another addiction. Recent studies have found that up to 12% percent
of TV-watchers feelunhappy about the amount of TV they watch, consider themselves addicts yet feel
incapable of stopping themselves.
1. Sex, crime, and violence may have ............................ on impressionablechildren.
2. Watching TV more than 3 hours per day can contribute to ............................ behavior problems, lower
grades, and other health issues.

❸ GRAMMAR
1. Comparative form of adjectives or adverbs (Dạng so sánh hơn của tính từ hoặc trạng từ)
1.1. Đối với tính từ/ trạng từ ngắn
Tính từ/ trạng từ ngắn là những tính từ/ trạng chỉ có 1 âm tiết hoặc những tính từ/ trạng từ có 2 âm

Cách thêm đuôi er vào sau adj/adv ngắn

•Những tính từ/ trạng từ tận cùng là “e” thì ta chỉ thêm “r”: larger, wider...
• Những tính từ/ trạng từ có tận cùng là 1 phụ âm mà trước đó là 1 nguyên
âm thì ta gấp đôi phụ âm cuối:
Ví dụ:hotter, bigger...
•Những tính từ/ trạng từ tận cùng là “y” mà trước đó là 1 phụ âm thì chuyển
“y” thành “ier”:
Ví dụ:happier, noisier
1.2. Đối với những tính từ/ trạng từ dài

Discover New Cultures Clutter-free Life
Cheaper Living The Ability to Live and Visit Anywhere
BENEFITS OF BEING NOMADIC
1. ......................................................................................
Owning a home naturally lends itself to clutter. You have so much room, why not fill it? Nomadic
life removes all this space and leaves you with the bare essentials. Backpackers trim their
belongings down to what they can fit in their packs; and RV-ers must limit their possessions to
what can fit in their RV. While your new RV is spacious and roomy, you will think twice about
loading up your old treadmill.
2. ......................................................................................
Removing a rent or mortgage payment frees up a large amount of cash. While living on the road
can make holding a traditional job difficult, many nomads are turning to the Internet to fund their
journeys. You may also be able to get work from town-to-town. Bear in mind that the nomadic life
has its own expenses. For example, nomads who live in a RV must continually fuel their home, find
campsites and pay for insurance.
3. ......................................................................................
A nomad experiences the ultimate in geographical freedom. This is one of the most attractive
benefits of nomadic living. You can follow every inclination and desire you have. Want to see the
Grand Canyon? Plot a course. Need to get your feet in the sand? Head for the coast. Nomads can
follow their fantasies and make them reality.
4. ......................................................................................
According to a study by the Kellogg School of Management, those who have lived abroad or
nomadic lifestyles were consistently more creative and able tothink outside the box. Exposing
yourself to new cultures can do wonders for your mental acuity by learning new ways of thought,
traditions and morals.
Note:
RV: ngôi nhà di động
Exercise 4: Read the text answer the questions.
VIETNAMESE FARMERS
Vietnam is an agricultural country and about 67% of Vietnamese people live in the rural areas.
Both men and women work on the fields. Rural women in Vietnam typically do hard outdoor
physical labor, which keeps them physically fit and strong. Everyday, they wake up early to get
started on their work, normally before the sun comes up. The fields are near their houses, so they
often walk to the field. The entire family helps out during planting and harvest. Each family
member has certain tasks to do. Men do heavy labor like plowing and digging. Women work
around the house, and help with the harvest, planning and weeding. The elderly do light labor.
Children, if not going to school, will help the house chores. Girls clean, cook, and work in the
vegetable garden; while boys carry water, and help the men in the field. In the countryside, almost
every house has a garden to grow vegetables, fruits for family demand or selling for more incomes.
Besides growing vegetables, they also keep cattle, pigs and poultry. The day ends up with a family
meal together. It’s a great time for all family members to share their stories and get closer to each
other.

MUONG ETHNIC GROUP CULTURAL SPACE MUSEUM IN HOA BINH
The first thing visitors see is water spilling over rock formation into a stream flanked by rice
mortars, a reflection of the unique cultural identity of the Muong people. The centuries-old Muong

culture is captured in two sections: a reenactment section and a display section. The reenactment
section contains 4 Muong stilt houses that illustrate the social stratification of feudal society. The
Muong houses are differentiated by socialstatus - the “Lang” house for the most powerful families,
the “Âu” house for the mandarins, the ‘Tạo” house for ordinary people, and the “Nõ” house for the
lowest class, such as widows and orphans. Further on are display rooms which showcase traditional
Muong handicrafts such as knitted woven and embroidered fabrics, tools for hunting and farming,
and items used in festivals, traditional observances, and religious practice. Visitor Ngo Thu Nga
from Hanoi told VOV: “I am grateful for the initiative, love of Muong culture, and effort that
created these displays and this museum.”

VIETNAMESE COSTUME
The most recognisable traditional garment you’re likely to see in Vietnam today is the ao dai, an
item of national dress consisting of a long, tight-fitting, silk tunic worn over loose trousers. The
design of the modern ao dai is a variation on more traditional forms of dress, and was perfected in
the 1950s. Though it was banned in the late 1970s, the ao dai has since seen a resurgence and many
women in Vietnam continue to wear it, often as part of a uniform for schools, universities and
public service roles.
The male equivalent of the ao dai is called the ao gam, and is a brocade tunic ordinarily worn only
on special occasions, such as birthdays or festivals. You are less likely to see the ao gam than the ao
dai in a day-to-day setting in Vietnam.
More well-known even than the ao dai, the non la is a style of Vietnamese conical hat that has
become symbolic not just of Vietnam but of East Asia in general for many Westerners. The hat,
which is usually made from bamboo or straw, appears in Vietnamese art dating from 2,500-3,000
years ago, and is considered part of modern Vietnamese national costume.
From the early twentieth century onwards, most Vietnamese have worn Western-style clothing in
day-to-day life, while members of minority ethnic groups in the north of country still commonly
wear the traditional dress of their own particular locality.

FUNERAL CEREMONY IN VIETNAM
Traditionally, Vietnamese people believe that death is one of the most solemn ceremonies as “The
sense of the dead is that of the final”. The funeral ceremony in Vietnam undergoes several steps.
First, the body will be washed and dressed; then, a pinch of rice and three coins are put in themouth
of the body, then they lay chopstick between his teeth. After that, the body is put on the ground
with the meaning that “being born from the earth, one must return back to the earth.” Next, he is
enveloped with white cloth, and put in to the coffin. Finally, the master of the funeral officially
performs the funeral ceremony. During these days, all family members have to wear coarse gauze
turbans and tunics, and hats made of straw, or dry banana fiber. Worshiping meals and music are

offered to the dead during these days. All relatives, neighbors and friends come to offer their
condolences. The funeral procession is conducted. All relatives, friends, and family members join
the procession to accompany the dead to the burial ground. After three days, there is a ritual of
opening the grave. After 49 days, the family stops offering meals for the dead to the altar. 100 days
later, the ritual of “the end of the tears” is celebrated. The mourning will end after three years.
Nowadays, although mourning ceremonies follow simple rituals, they keep traditional meaning and
solemn ceremonies to express their respect to the dead.

1.2.Compound sentences: (Câu ghép)

Câu ghép là câu được tạo nên từ 2 mệnh đề độc lập và được kết hợp với nhau bằng liên từ. Các liên
từ thường được dùng là: and (và), but (nhưng) or (hoặc), so (vì vậy), yet (tuy vậy).
Ví dụ:
1.Liên từ “and”: Dùng để nối 2 mệnh đề ngang hàng nhau.
I washed the dishes, and my wife cleaned the house.

Chú ý:
Nếu mệnh đề phụ thuộc đứng trước mệnh đề độc lập, ta sử dụng dấu phẩy để

LUNAR NEW YEAR
Lunar New Year Festival often falls between late January and early February; it is among the most
important holidays in Vietnam. Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day of January
in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese people often spend about nearly a month to celebrate this
special event.
Since Tet occupies an important role in Vietnamese’s religious beliefs, Vietnamese will begin their
preparations well in advance of the upcoming New Year. In an effort to get rid of the bad luck of
the old year, people will spend a few days cleaning their homes, polishing every utensil, or even
repaint and decorate the house with kumquat tree, branches of peach blossom, and many other
colorful flowers. The ancestral altar is especially taken care of, with careful decoration of five kinds
of fruits and votive papers, along with many religious rituals. Everybody, especially children, buy
new clothes and shoes to wear on the first days of New Year. People also try to pay all their
pending debts and resolve all the arguments among colleagues, friends or members of family.
Vietnamese believe that the color of red and yellow will bring good fortune, which may explain
why these colors can be seen everywhere in Lunar New Year. People consider what they do on the
dawn of Tet will determine their fate for the whole year, hence people always smile and behave as
nice as they can in the hope for a better year. Besides, gifts are exchanged between family members
and friends and relatives, while children receive lucky money kept in red envelope. No matter
where Tet is celebrated, it must be clarified from the beginning that Tet is not a day, but several

Normal VTo beCâu khẳng địnhS + V2/ edS + was/ wereCâu phủ địnhS +
did + not + VS + was/ were + notCâu hỏiDid + S + V?Was/ Were + S?
1.2. Cách dùng chính

a. Thì quá khứ đơn diễn tả một sự việc xảy ra tại một thời điểm cụ thể trong quá khứ và đã kết thúc
hoàn toàn.
Ví dụ:
I saw him in the bar club yesterday.
Tôi thấy anh ta trong quán rượu ngày hôm qua.
They didn’t agree to the deal.
Họ không đồng ý với hợp đồng.
b. Diễn tả một loạt hành động xảy ra kế tiếp nhau trong quá khứ
Ví dụ:
She came home, switched on the computer and checked her emails.
Cô ấy về nhà, khởi động máy tính và kiểm tra hộp thư điện tử của mình.
c.Diễn tả một hành động xen vào một hành động khác đang xảy ra trong quá khứ (hành động xen
vào ta sử dụng thì quá khứ đơn, hành động đang xảy ra ta dùng thì quá khứ tiếp diễn.)
Ví dụ:

When I was reading a book, my dad called me.
Khi tôi đang đọc sách, bố tôi đõ gọi.
d. Thì quá khứ đơn được dùng trong câu điều kiện loại 2
Ví dụ:
If I had a million dollar, I would buy that villa.
Nếu tôi có một triệu đô, tôi sẽ mua cái biệt thự đó.
1.3. Các trạng ngữ thường gặp trong thời quá khứ đơn.
Yesterday, ago, finally, at last, in the last century, in the past, last (week, month, year), in (2013,
June), in the (2000,1970s), from (March) to (April) etc.
1.4. Quy tắc thêm đuôi “ed” vào sau động từ có quy tắc.
Động từ không kết thúc bằng “e”, ta thêm “ed” vào sau động từ.
Ví dụ: happen  happened; play  played
Động từ kết thúc bằng “e”, ta chỉ thêm “d” vào sau động từ.
Ví dụ: smile  smiled; hope  hoped
Động từ kết thúc bằng “y”, ta đổi “y” thì rồi thêm “ed”.
Ví dụ: carry  carried; try  tried
Động từ một âm tiết và có một phụ âm cuối, ta gấp đôi phụ âm cuối rồi mới thêm ed
Ví dụ: stop  stopped; hug  hugged
Trường hợp từ có hai, ba phụ âm cuối thì không cần nhân phụ âm cuối mà chỉ việc thêm ed như
bình thường.
Ví dụ: climb  climbed; comb  combed
Động từ hai âm tiết trở lên, nếu trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết cuối thì ta nhân đôi phụ âm cuối rồi mới
thêm ed.
Ví dụ: prefer  preferred; permit  permitted;...

THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE
A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow.
“Do you ever get anywhere?” he asked with a mocking laugh.
“Yes,” replied the Tortoise, “and I get there sooner than you think. I’ll run
you a race and prove it.”

The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the
thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented as judge, marked the distance and started the
runners off.
The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was
for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise
should catch up.
The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where
the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the
Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in
