Read the passage carefully. MY VILLAGE
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is three kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like vegetables, fruits, eggs He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in the town square. I love those trips.
On starry nights, we children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each other to find the Milky Way. We dream of faraway places.

SO SÁNH HƠN VỚI TÍNH TỪ- Comparative forms of Adjecttives 1. Ôn tập so sánh hơn với tính từ (comparative forms of adjectives) Sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người (hoặc vật) này với người (hoặc vật) khác. Trong so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm hai loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn. Trong đó: - Tính từ ngắn là những tính từ có 1 âm tiết. Ví dụ: tall, high, big,... - Tính từ dài là những tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên. Ví dụ: expensive, intelligent,... 2. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn Đối với tính từ ngắn Đối với tính từ dài S1 + to be + adj-er + than + S2/O S1 + to be + more + adj + than + S2/O Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau tính từ Với tính từ dài, thêm “more” trước tính từ Ví dụ: China is bigger than India. (Trung Quốc to lớn hơn Ấn Độ. Lan is shorter than Nam. (Lan thì thấp hơn Nam). My house is bigger than your house. (Nhà của tôi to hơn nhà của bạn). His pen is newer than my pen. (Bút của anh ấy mới hơn bút của tôi). Ví dụ: Gold is more valuable than silver. (Vàng có giá trị hơn bạc). Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa. (Hạnh thì xinh hơn Hoa). Your book is more expensive than his book. (Quyển sách của bạn đắt hơn quyển sách của anh ấy.) Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2. (Bài tập số 1 khó hơn bài tập số 2) 3. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn - Cách thêm đuôi –er vào tính từ ngắn: Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm => thêm đuôi -er old - older, near - nearer Tính từ kết thúc bởi nguyên âm “e” => chỉ cần têm đuôi “r” nice – nicer Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm (a,i,e,o,u) + 1 phụ âm => gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi –er. big – bigger, hot – hotter , fat – fatter , fit – fitter Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y”, dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn => bỏ “y” và thêm “er”, happy – happier, pretty - prettier * Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng "et, ow, le, er," thì áp dụng Quy tắc thêm đuôi -er như tính từ ngắn. Ví dụ: quiet => quieter clever – cleverer simple – simpler narrow – narrower - Một vài tính từ đặc biệt: Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên. Tính từ Dạng so sánh hơn good better bad worse far farther/further much/many more little less old older/elder 4.Viết lại câu 1.I am taller than Tuan. => Tuan isn’t as tall as I/me. => Tuan is shorter than I/me. 2.This car is more expensive than that car. => That car isn’t as expensive as this car. => That car is cheaper than this car D. SO SÁNH HƠN VỚI TRẠNG TỪ - Comparative forms of Adverbs Tương tự như tính từ, trạng từ cũng được chia làm 2 loại: - Trạng từ ngắn là những từ có 1 âm tiết Ví dụ: hard, fast, near, far, right, wrong,... - Trạng từ dài là những từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên. Ví dụ: slowly, responsibly, quickly, interestingly, tiredly,.... 1. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn với trạng từ Đối với trạng từ ngắn Đối với trạng từ dài S1 + V + adv-er + than + S2(do/does) S1+ V + more/less + adv + than S2(do/does) Với trạng từ ngắn, thường là trạng từ chỉ cách thức có hình thức giống tính từ, ta thêm đuôi "er”vào sau trạng từ. - Với trạng từ dài, hầu hết là các trạng từ chỉ cách thức có đuôi “-ly” ta thêm “more” (nhiều hơn) hoặc “less”(ít hơn) vào trước trạng từ. - less” là từ phản nghĩa của “more" được dùng để diễn đạt sự không bằng nhau ở mức độ ít hơn. Ví dụ: They work harder than I do. (Họ làm việc chăm chỉ hơn tôi) She runs faster than he does. (Cô ấy chạy nhanh hơn anh ấy) My mother gets up earlier than me. (Mẹ tôi thức dậy sớm hơn tôi.) I go to school later than my friends do. (Tôi đi học muộn hơn các bạn.) Ví dụ: My friend did the test more carefully than I did, (Bạn tôi làm bài kiểm tra cẩn thận hơn tôi) My father talks more slowly than my mother does. (Bố tôi nói chậm hơn mẹ tôi.) Hanh acts less responsibly than anyone here. : (An hoạt động ít trách nhiệm hơn bất cứ ai ở đây.) 2. Một vài trạng từ có dạng đặc biệt Trạng từ Trạng từ so sánh hơn well better badly worse far farther/further early earlier (không thêm more) Ví dụ: The little boy ran farther than his friends. (Cậu bé chạy xa hơn những người bạn.) You’re driving worse today than yesterday. (Hôm nay bạn lái xe tệ hơn hôm qua.) 3.Viết lại câu 1. She cooks better than I. => I don’t cook as well as she (does) => I cook worse than she (does) 2.He drives more carelessly than his father. His father doesn’t drive as carefully as he (does). His father drives more carefully than he (does). His father drives less carelessly than he (does). E-CÂU ĐƠN VÀ CÂU GHÉP – Simple sentences and compound sentences I.

Tinsley, a professor from the University of Florida who has developed a scale that classifies hobbies based on needs they satisfy in people. The scale can help people find more personal fulfillment by giving them insight into what they really like. “The surprising thing is that activities you might think are very different have similar effects on people. Probably no one would consider acting to have the same characteristics as roller-skating or playing baseball, but people who act as a hobby report feeling an intense sense of belonging to a group, much the same way others do in playing sports.” And activities providing the strongest sense of competition are not sports, but card and computer game, he found. Participating in soccer satisfies our desire for a sense of “belonging”, and coin collecting fulfills the need for “creativity”. With so many people in jobs they don't care for, leisure is a prized aspect of people's lives, Tinsley said. “Yet it's not something psychologists really study. Economists tell us how much money people spend skiing, but nobody explains why skiing really appeals to people.” Fishing, generally considered an outdoor recreational activity, for example, is a form of self-expression like stamp collecting, because it gives people the opportunity to express some aspect of their personality by doing something different from their daily routine, he said. 1. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Both acting and roller-skating give people a feeling of being a part of a team. B. Collecting things satisfies people's desire for making new things. C. Fishing allows you to show the type of person you are. D. Researchers know for sure why a hobby attracts a person. 2. According to the passage, outdoor recreational activity is considered as ___________. A.. a way of showing people's habits B. a method of satisfying their expectation C. a chance to show their character D. an activity to show their unity in a team 3. Taking part in sports gives you ____________. A. the strongest desire to win B. a need for creativity C. the chance to express your feelings D. a sense of being part of a team 4. The bold word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ___________. A. fishing B. an activity C. self-expression D. stamp collecting 5. Which sentence best summarizes the passage? A. Leisure activity and sport are totally different B. Leisure activities satisfy people's particular desires C. A person's personality is expressed via his hobbies D. Sports affect a person's personality The end
