Thank you for your attention in this matter.
This is just a short email to update you on your medical test results from your physical
examination on January 10th. Our records show that you took a blood pressure test. Your test this
time showed that your blood pressure is doing quite well for a man your age. I am very pleased
to note that your blood pressure is much lower than it was last time. It seems that the medication
you have been taking is working well. Unfortunately, we do not have a record of the name of your
medication on file. Can you remember the name of the medication that you are taking? If you
could send an email to my nurse with the name of the medicine, that would be very helpful to us.
His email address is medcenter05@huxley.com
Also, there is a note in your file stating that you want your medical test results sent to your
insurance company. Which department do you want them sent to? Please let us know as soon as
possible.

UNIT 11: RELATIVE CLAUSE
I.Kiến thức cần nhớ
A. định nghĩa mệnh đề quan hệ
a…………………………………………………………………………………………………
Có rất nhiều trường hợp cần sử dụng mệnh đề quan hệ. Ta có thể xem xét ví dụ sau:
1. Yesterday I met a man. A man works in a zoo
2. I bought a cell phone. A cell phone has internet access
3. This is the ‘magic’ tree. So many lovers kiss under the ‘magic’ tree
Về mặt ngữ pháp, những câu này đúng nhưng rất ngắn, đơn giản và lặp từ. Ta có thể sử dụng mệnh đề
quan hệ để biến câu văn trở nên dài và sinh động hơn.
1. Yesterday I met a man who works in a zoo – Tối qua tôi gặp người đàn ông, người mà làm
việc ở sở thú
2. I bought a cell phone which has internet access – Tôi mua một chiếc điện thoại có đường truyền
internet
3. This is a ‘magic’ tree where so many lovers kiss under – Đây là cây ‘ma thuật’ nơi rất nhiều
cặp đôi hôn nhau
b…………………………………………………………………………………………………
He has three sons, who are very successful doctors
danh từ mệnh đề phụ bổ sung thêm thông tin cho danh từ đứng trước
Mệnh đề quan hệ còn được gọi là mệnh đề tính ngữ – bản chất giống tính từ nhằm bổ sung thêm cho
Danh từ đứng trước cạnh, nhưng tính từ thì bị giới hạn bởi từ, trong khi đó mệnh đề quan hệ là cả câu
1. He has three smart sons
t.từ → danh từ
Cấu trúc:
Cấu trúc:

với trường hợp này, nếu trong câu phụ có giới từ đứng trước danh từ lặp lại: My boss believe in my
co-worker thì khi ta ghép lại thành mệnh đề quan hệ, .....................................................

d.từ chỉ người danh từ đ.từ
4. WHICH
- Câu chính: Yesterday she looked for a toy
- Câu phụ: A toy was new
- Từ lặp: A toy
Chúng ta ghép 2 câu lặp lại bằng cách bỏ ‘a toy’ ở câu phụ, thay thế bằng ‘which’. Lúc này ta dịch
‘which’ là ‘thứ mà’
- Ghép hai câu: Yesterday she looked for a toy. A toy was new
which
Ta vẫn giữ nguyên vị trí của mệnh đề quan hệ vì nó đã đứng ngày sau danh từ lặp mà nó muốn bổ sung
ở câu chính.
→ Ta dùng ‘which’ khi từ lặp là danh từ chỉ vật, và từ lặp câu phụ có thể đóng bất kể vị trí chủ ngữ
hay tân ngữ.
Câu trúc:
Yesterday she looked for a toy which was new
d.từ chỉ vật đ.từ
5. THAT
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Từ ‘that’ được sử dụng nhiều trong văn nói, ở những ngữ cảnh thông thường hơn.

we almost fainted! It was more than we could have - Sightseeing (n) ngắm cảnh
hoped to receive airplane tickets to France
wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only
trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to
go to the museums, but Jill wants to see some of
the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we
decided to see the churches in the morning (when
the weather is cool), and the museums in the
afternoon (because they’re air conditioned). This
allows us to get the most sightseeing done during
our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops,
too. Jill likes sitting outside and watching people,
but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell
of the coffee. French coffees are so much more
aromatic and stronger than the coffee we are used
to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We
sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back
home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel
Tower.
Love,
Freddy and Jill.
14. What did Freddy’s grandparents give him and Jill for a wedding present?

A. Freddy is an indoor person, and Jill is an outdoor person.
B. Freddy is an outdoor person, and Jill is an indoor person.
C. Both Freddy and Jill are indoor people
D. Freddy and Jill hate to travel.
16. Why did they decide to visit the museums in the afternoon?
A. They could get a discounted price in the afternoon
