Besides, if you use the computer too much, you will not have time for your family and friends. In short, computers should only be used for a limited time.

X.	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.
Answer the following questions.
1.	Does the boy like riding on the electric train in the town square?
2.	What do the children do on starry nights?
3.	Do you like to live in the countryside or in the city? Why?

B. GRAMMAR REVIEW
B. GRAMMAR:
I.Ôn tập so sánh hơn với tính từ( comparative forms of adjectives)
Ta sử dụng so sánh hơn của tính từ để so sánh giữa người(hoặc vật) này với người(hoặc vật) khác. Trong câu so sánh hơn, tính từ sẽ được chia làm 2 loại là tính từ dài và tính từ ngắn, trong đó:
Tính từ ngắn là tính từ có 1 âm tiết : Ví dụ : tall, high, big..
Tính từ dài là tính từ có từ 2 âm tiết trở lên : Ví dụ : expensive, intelligent..
II. Cấu trúc câu so sánh hơn:
Đối với tính từ ngắn
Đối với tính từ dài
S1 + to be + adj +er + than + S2
Với tính từ ngắn, thêm đuôi “er” vào sau tính từ
Với tính từ dài, thêm đuôi “more” vào trước tính từ
Ví dụ: 
China is bigger than India
Lan is shorter than Nam
My house is bigger than your house
His pen is newer than my pen
Ví dụ: 
Gold is more valuable than silver
Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa
Your book is more expensive than my book
Exercise 1 is more difficult than exercise 2
Lưu ý: Để nhấn mạnh ý trong câu so sánh hơn, ta thêm “much” hoặc “far” trước hình thức so sánh
Ví dụ: Her boyfriend is much/ far older than her
III. Cách sử dụng tính từ trong câu so sánh hơn:
1.Cách thêm đuôi –er vào tính từ ngắn
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 phụ âm àthêm đuôi –er
Old-older, near-nearer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm “e” àthêm đuôi –r
Nice-nicer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm(ueoai) +1 phụ âm à gấp đôi phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi -er
Big-bigger, hot-hotter, fat-fatter
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y” dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn àbỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “ier”
Happy-happier, 
Pretty-prettier
Lưu ý: Một số tính từ có hai âm tiết kết thúc bằng “et, ow, er, y” thì áp dụng như quy tắc thêm er ở tính từ ngắn
Ví dụ: quiet àquieter	clever à cleverer
	Simple à simpler	narrow ànarower
2.Một vài tính từ đặc biệt:
 Với một số tính từ sau, dạng so sánh hơn của chúng không theo quy tắc trên.

	For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, adopting a pastoral way of life, moving in the search of new pastures. They depend largely on their livestock for a living and sustain themselves with what they can get from the land. Today, approximately half of Mongolia’s population is still roaming the vast plains living in the ger and moving their campings several timesa year. Nomadic life thrives in summer and survives in winter. When temperatures are warm, they work hard on their farms to get milk and make airag, consuming meat from their sheeps and goats. Once winter comes, temperatures dip extremely low and they stay indoors and survive on horse meat.
	With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are almost inevitable. While they still lead their lifestyle as pastoral herders, many use motorbikes to herd cattle and horses. To move their homes, trucks have taken the place of ox carts. Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving them access to electricity without being confined to one place. The nomads use solar energy to power television sets and mobile phones.

	a.look for food for their family	b. find pastures for their livestock
	c. herd their cattle and horses	d. sell their animals and farm products
2.	How many Mongolians still live a traditional nomadic life?
	a.Close to 40 percent	b. More than 50 percent
	c. About 50 percent	d. Approximately 60 percent
3.	What is a ger?
	a.A portable, round tent	b. A thatched house
	c. A circular house made of snow	d. A wooden hut
4.	What is the Mongolian’s main food in winter?
	a.airag	b. goat meat	c. sheep meat	d. horse meat
5.	Today, Mongolian nomads _________.

B. GRAMMAR REVIEW
ÔN TẬP CÂU HỎI. (QUESTION)
Theo quy tắc ngữ pháp, khi là câu hỏi thì chúng ta cần đảo trợ động từ (auxiliray verbs) lên trước chủ ngữ
Câu hỏi Yes/No (Yes/No Questions)
Câu hỏi dạng Yes/No Questions là dạng câu hỏi đòi hỏi câu trả lời là Yes (có) hoặc No (không).
Cấu trúc
	Ví dụ
 Trợ động từ (be/ do/ does) + chủ ngữ (S) + động từ + .?
 Yes, S + trợ động từ / tobe.
Hoặc	
 No, S + trợ động từ / tobe + not
Isn’t Lan going to school today?
Hôm nay Lan đi học phải không?
Yes, she is. (đúng vậy)
Was Hung sick yesterday?
No, he wasn’t. (không, anh ấy không bệnh)
Wh-question
Trong tiếng Anh, khi chúng ta cần hỏi rõ ràng và cần có câu trả lời cụ thể, ta dùng câu hỏi với các từ để hỏi. Loại câu hỏi này được gọi là câu hỏi trực tiếp (direct questions)
Các từ dùng để hỏi trong tiếng Anh
Who (Ai) (chức năng chủ ngữ)
Whom (Ai) (chức năng tân ngữ
What (Cái gì)
Whose (Của ai)
Where (Ở đâu)
Which (cái nào) (để hỏi về sự lựa chọn)
When (Khi nào)
Why (Tại sao)
How (như thế nào)
How much (Bao nhiêu)
How many (Bao nhiêu, số lượng)
How long (Bao lâu)
How far(Bao xa)
How old (Bao nhiêu tuổi)
How often (Bao nhiêu lần)
What time (Mấy giờ)
Các cấu trúc câu hỏi WH thường gặp
Nguyên tắc đặt câu hỏi
Nếu chưa có trợ động từ thì phải mượn trợ động từ :do/ does/ did
Nếu trợ động từ có sẵn (am/is/are/can /will/shall/would/could) thì đảo chúng ra trước chủ ngữ, không mượn do/does/did nữa.
Cấu trúc thông thường của loại câu hỏi Wh-questions
Từ để hỏi thường được viết ở đầu câu hỏi.Từ để hỏi có thể làm chủ ngữ (subject) hay tân ngữ (object) và bổ ngữ.
Dạng
Cấu trúc 
Chú ý
Dạng 1:
Câu hỏi tân ngữ
Wh-word + auxiliary + S + V + object?
Từ để hỏi + trợ động từ + chủ ngữ + động từ chính + (tân ngữ)
Ví dụ:
Where do you live? (Anh sống ở đâu?)
What are you doing? (Ạnh đang làm gì thế?)
Whom do you meet this morning? (Anh gặp lại ai sáng nay?) (Whom là tân ngữ của động từ “meet”)
Who are you going with? (Bạn sẽ đi với ai?)
Object là danh từ, đại từ đứng sau động từ hoặc giới từ.
Dạng 2:
Câu hỏi bổ ngữ
Wh-word + tobe + S + complement?
(Từ để hỏi + động từ tobe + chủ ngữ + bổ ngữ)
Ví dụ.
Where is John? (John ở đâu?)
Who are you? (Bạn là ai?)
Whose is this umbrella? (Cái ô này của ai?) 
Who is the head of your school? (Hiệu trưởng của trường anh là ai?)
Bổ ngữ là danh từ hoặc tính từ
Động từ tobe chia theo chủ ngữ
Dạng 3:
Câu hỏi chủ ngữ
Wh-word + V + object?
(Từ để hỏi + động từ chính + tân ngữ)
Ví dụ.
Who lives in London with Daisy? (Ai sống ở London cùng với Daisy vậy?)
Who is opening the door? (Ai đang mở cửa đấy?)
Who teaches you English? (Ai dạy bạn Tiếng Anh?)
Which is better? (Cái/loại nào tốt hơn?)
What caused the accident? (Nguyên nhân gì đã gây ra tai nạn?)
Động từ chính luôn được chia theo ngôi thứ 3 số ít.
C.Trường hợp câu hỏi đặc biệt với WHICH
Cách dùng
Ví dụ
“Which’ được sử dụng thay thế cho What và Who khi ta muốn hỏi ai đó chính xác về người hay vật trong một số lượng nhất định. Người nghe phải chọn trong giới hạn ấy để trả lời.
Which of you can’t do this exercise? (Em nào (trong số các em) không làm được bài tập này?)
Which way to the station, please? (Cho hỏi đường nào đi đến ga ạ?)
