UNIT 06: Journey

ABOUT THE PHOTO

The Stockholm metro (tàu điện
ngầm) (in Sweden’s capital) first
opened in 1950. The Stockholm
metro is well-known for the
decoration (trang hoàng) of its
stations (trạm, ga) and has been
called the longest art gallery (bảo
tàng nghệ thuật) in the world.
Several stations (especially on the
Blue Line) are left with the bedrock
(đá nền) exposed (bộc lộ), crude
(thô quánh) and unfinished (chưa
hoàn thành), or as part of the
decorations.
At one station, there is a fresco
(bích họa) about the history of
Earth’s civilizations that runs along
both sides of the platform.
Work in pairs. Discuss
the questions.

1. Look at the photo.

What kind of journey
do you think the
person is making?

2. What words can you

use to describe the
station?

3. How do you usually

feel at the start of a
journey?
 3 Make connections.
How would you
answer the questions in
Exercise 2?
 Marine /mə´ri:n/ : (thuộc) biển, hàng hải Project /n. ˈprɒdʒɛkt , ˈprɒdʒɪkt ; v. prəˈdʒɛkt/ : Đề án,
Ecologist /i'kɔləʤist/ : Nhà sinh thái học dự án; kế hoạch, công trình (nghiên cứu)
Coast /koust/ : bờ biển Reef /ri:f/ : ám tiêu, đá ngầm

Kính bảo hộ

The noun 'goggles' is

an uncountable noun, a
type of binary noun, a
word denoting
something made up of
two components; a
contraction of 'a pair
of’.

- A pair of goggles is
the singular form.

 Helmet
/ˈhel.mət/
Mũ bảo hiểm
 Life jacket
/ˈlaɪf ˌdʒæk.ɪt/
Life vest
Áo phao
 Wetsuit
/ˈwet.suːt/
Đồ bơi giữ nhiệt

•Wetsuit làm bằng Neoprene (cao su tổng hợp) với

độ đàn hồi lớn. Wetsuit không chống nước hoàn
toàn mà giúp ngăn cơ thể mất nhiệt ở môi trường
lạnh, vì thế wetsuit phải bó sát vào người, không
được có khoảng không giữa da và áo. Nếu mặc
áo rộng quá thì sẽ bị giảm tác dụng giữ ấm

•Drysuit giống như áo khoác (jacket) và chống

nước tuyệt đối. Drysuit thường rộng và có nhiều
lớp vì thế người mặc không vận động một cách
thoải mái như mặc wesuit.

•Túm lại, Wetsuit được dùng cho môi trường có

Nhiệt Độ Thấp và dùng Drysuit cho môi trường có
Nhiệt Độ Cực Thấp, bao gồm cả môi trường nước
và môi trường cạn.
Snowboard /'''´snou¸bɔ:d'‘’/ : Trượt ván trên tuyết
Paddleboard /'pædlbɔ:d/ : chèo ván đứng
 Look at the Reading
skill box. What do the
pronouns (đại từ) and
determiners (từ hạn
định) (1–10) in the
article refer to?

Pronoun là đại từ gồm

các từ, cụm từ dùng để
thay thế cho danh từ
trong câu. Đại từ có thể
đóng vai trò như là chủ
ngữ, trạng từ.

Từ hạn định, hay còn

được gọi là chỉ định từ
(Determiners) trong
tiếng Anh là từ loại đứng
trước danh từ hoặc cụm
danh từ trong một câu
dùng để xác định
người/vật/sự việc đang
được đề cập.
Answers
1 that refers to the average time it takes people to get to work (the idea and

2 these people refers to some people (Benjamin, Lucy, František and Fucao) in
the previous sentence
3 them refers to laptop, suit, shoes
4 it refers to swimming (to work)
5 she refers to Lucy
6 them refers to the toys she needs
7 his refers to Fucao’s
8 this sport refers to paddleboarding

GRAMMAR NOTES (can skip)
Pronouns and determiners are used to avoid repeating nouns or whole passages in our writing.
Subject pronouns (she, he, we, etc.) are used to replace nouns when they are subjects of a sentence,
object pronouns (her, him, us, etc.) to replace nouns when they are objects of a sentence and possessive
pronouns (mine, ours, theirs, etc.) to replace a possessive and noun (e.g. Lucy’s snowboard hers).
The label determiners covers a range of language items that are used when referring. These include
articles and numbers as well as possessives or possessive adjectives (my, his, their, etc.) and
demonstratives (this, that, these, those).
Possessive adjectives replace a noun with possessive ’s (e.g. Fucao’s laptop his laptop).
Demonstratives are often used to refer to a whole passage of writing, not just a pronoun. This could be a
phrase, sentence or even a whole paragraph or text.
Notice that 1 (That) is a demonstrative pronoun which refers to the idea contained in the whole of the
previous sentence.
Notice that 8 (this sport) is a demonstrative adjective (it describes the noun sport – it doesn’t replace it).
Here, ‘this sport’ is not just replacing ‘paddleboarding’ but using a nearsynonymous noun (sport) to avoid
repeating it.
