Cấu trúc: If + S + V-ed/V2, S + would/could + V(nguyên thể) Trong câu điều kiện loại II, mệnh đề “If” chia thì quá khứ đơn (hoặc quá khứ tiếp diễn) và mệnh đề chính sử dụng cấu trúc “would/ could + động từ nguyên thể”. 2. Cách sử dụng: Câu điều kiện loại 2 dùng để giả định về một sự việc khơng thể xảy ra ở hiện tại hoặc tương lai. Ví dụ: If they had a lot of money now, they would travel around the world. (Nếu bây giờ họ cĩ nhiều tiền, họ sẽ đi du lịch vịng quanh thế giới.) Ta thấy cĩ trạng từ thời gian “now” (bây giờ) và hiểu rằng “bây giờ họ khơng cĩ nhiều tiền” nên mới đưa ra câu giả định như vậy. Vì thế ta sử dụng câu điều kiện loại II để diễn đạt một giả định về một sự việc khơng cĩ thật ở hiện tại. 3. Chú ý: Trong câu điều kiện loại II, nếu mệnh đề “if” sử dụng động từ “be” ở thì quá khứ đơn thì ta chỉ sử dụng “were” với tất cả các ngơi. Ví dụ: If I were you, I wouldn’t stay at home now. (Nếu tơi là bạn, bây giờ tơi sẽ khơng ở nhà.) Ta thấy chủ ngữ trong mệnh đề “If” là “I” nhưng ta vẫn sử dụng động từ là “were” I. RELATIVE CLAUSES (MỆNH ĐỂ QUAN HỆ) P 5

  10. Nicolas: I don't have a proper breakfast. I never have time because I always get up late. Normally, my mum buys a packet of biscuits and I have some on the school bus. At lunchtime, I'm always hungry, so I have a hamburger, a packet of crisps, and a cola. I can easily get them at the school canteen. For dinner, I like fried beef, noodles, and eggs, I don't really eat vegetables because they aren't tasty. My mum says my eating habits are unhealthy. I'm thinking about changing them. If I continue eating like this, I may become overweight. Maya: My brother doesn't have healthy eating habits, but I do. For breakfast, I usually have a bowl of cereal, a glass of milk, and a banana. It's important to start a new day with a good breakfast, so I tend to have nutritious things. I don't buy lunch at school; instead, I prepare my lunch box with two slices of bread, a boiled egg, and salad. Sometimes, my mum makes sushi for my lunch. In the evening, my mum and I cook dinner. My favourite is steamed fish. Lean grilled chicken is also a dish I like for dinner. Unit 8: Thanks to the widespread use of modern means of transport, people have more choice of holiday restination and can now visit even the remotest parts of the world. Tourism has certainly become an important factor in the development of many countries. An obvious benefit of tourism is that it plays a key role in economic growth. It contributes greatly to income of a region or country. It also brings job opportunities to all kinds of people, and therefore helps promote prosperity in diverse fields. Another positive aspect of tourism is that it helps promote international understanding and cooperation among nations. In addition, tourism can improve the standard of living of local or rural communities, so young people are encouraged to stay in their hometown to build a good life rather than move to big cities. Finally, tourism brings cultural benefits, learn about the history and culture of a place, and spread them around the world. In the other hand, the drawbacks of tourism can't be denied Unit 9: Speaker 1 (male): My first language is French, but I live near the border, so I'm reasonably good at German. I can also get by in Italian. We went to Rome last summer and I picked up the basics. Speaker 2 (female): My mother is Spanish and my father is French so I'm bilingual. I'm also fluent in English which I need for my job. I can have a conversation in Italian, but it's a bit rusty. Speaker 3 (male): I used to be quite bad at English. I knew a few words of everyday English that I learned at school, but I couldn't speak a word of anything else. Last summer, I went to England on holiday. While I was traveling around the country, I picked up enough words and phrases to get by. I was told that my pronunciation was quite good, so when I got home I decided to learn English properly. Speaker 4 (female): Last year, I got a job in a multinational company, so I had to learn English. A friend recommended an English center and I have been going there for six months. I always enjoy the lessons and the language is taught in a communicative way. I think that I've learned a lot since I started. It's not all fun, though - at the moment I'm studying for my first exam! Review 3 My tips to learn English well are not complicated. Firstly, I usually read stories and books in English. Reading them helps me widen my vocabulary and understand the context where words are used. This way I can remember vocabulary longer and know how to use the words correctly. Secondly, to practise English grammar, I do lots of exercises from different grammar books. I find Grammar in Use and Active Grammar useful because they explain grammar thoroughly, and provide learners with various types of exercise. Thirdly, I take every opportunity to speak and write English because these are my weak points, I've joined an international project which connects students from all over the world. I've made friends with four students from the USA, Australia, France, and Egypt. We write each other emails and chat on Skype. That way I can not only improve my English skills but also enrich my knowledge of different cultures. My last tip is to be self-confident. Don't be afraid of making mistakes in the process of learning. In class, you P 10
  11. should take part in the activities actively. If there are any things you don't understand, ask your teacher and classmates for help. These tips have helped me to become a successful English learner UNIT 10: SPACE TRAVEL mission /ˈmɪʃn/ (n) chuyến đi, nhiệm vụ astronaut /ˈỉstrənɔːt/ (n) phi hành gia spacewalk /ˈspeɪswɔːk/ (n) chuyến đi bộ trong khơng gian meteorite /ˈmiːtiəraɪt/ (n) thiên thạch roller-coaster /ˈrəʊlə kəʊstə(r)/ (n) tàu lượn siêu tốc telescope /ˈtelɪskəʊp/ (n) kính thiên văn spacecraft /ˈspeɪskrɑːft/ (n) tàu vũ trụ habitable /ˈhỉbɪtəbl/ (adj) [cĩ thể] ở được scuba diving /'sku:bə/ /'daiviɳ/ (n.phr) lặn biển bằng bình dưỡng khí microgravity /ˌmaɪkrəʊˈɡrỉvɪti/ (n) khơng trọng lực parabolic /ˌpỉrəˈbɒlɪk/ (adj) như hình parabon shuttle /ˈʃʌtl/ (n) con thoi altitude /ˈỉltɪtjuːd/ (n) độ cao (so với mặt biển) orbit /ˈɔːbɪt/ (v/n) xoay quanh, đi theo quỹ đạo land /lỉnd/ (v) hạ cánh train /treɪn/ (v) đào tạo launch /lɔːntʃ/ (v) phĩng atmospheric /ˌỉtməsˈferɪk/ (v) khơng khí, [thuộc] khí quyển A CLOSER LOOK 2 fruit fly /'fru:tflai/ (n) ruồi quả groundbreaking /ˈɡraʊndbreɪkɪŋ/ (adj) đột phá COMMUNICATION conduct /kənˈdʌkt/ (v) chỉ đạo, điều khiển, hướng dẫn pastime /ˈpɑːstaɪm/ (n) thời gian tiêu khiển SKILLS 1 float around fləʊt əˈraʊnd (v) trơi nổi harmoniously /hɑːˈməʊniəsli/ (adv) một cách hịa đồng SKILLS 2 client /ˈklaɪənt/ (n) khách hàng unsustainable /ˌʌnsəˈsteɪnəbl/ (adj) khơng bền vững LOOKING BACK telecommunication /,telikə,mju:ni'kei∫nz/ (n) viễn thơng unmanned /ˌʌnˈmỉnd/ (adj) khơng người lái PROJECT highlight /ˈhaɪlaɪt/ (n) Điều (nơi) thú vị, đặc sắc THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN (SIMPLE PAST TENSE) : Cơng thức : Câu khẳng định : S + V2 / V-ed Câu phủ định : S + didn’t + V-inf Câu nghi vấn : Did + S + V-inf ?
