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
3

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?

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:
Ví dụ:
China is bigger than India
Gold is more valuable than silver
Lan is shorter than Nam
Hanh is more beautiful than Hoa
My house is bigger than your house
Your book is more expensive than my book
His pen is newer than my pen
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 →thêm đuôi –er
Old-older, near-nearer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm “e” →thêm đuôi –r
Nice-nicer
Tính từ kết thúc bởi 1 nguyên âm(ueoai) +1 phụ âm → gấp đôi Big-bigger, hot-hotter, fat-fatter
phụ âm cuối và thêm đuôi -er
Tính từ kết thúc bởi “y” dù có 2 âm tiết vẫn là tính từ ngắn
Happy-happier,
→bỏ “y” và thêm đuôi “ier”
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 →quieter
clever → cleverer
Simple → simpler
narrow →narower
5

2.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
1. Sắp xếp các từ sau thành câu hoan chỉnh:
1.London /think/ is/ than/ more/ I/ New York/ expensive.
____________________________________________________________________________
2.Important/ is/ Health/ than/ money/ more.
____________________________________________________________________________
3.in / in/ city/ better/ the / is/ in /than / country/ convenient / than / is.
____________________________________________________________________________
4.in / health care/ city/ better/ the / is/ in / than / countryside/ the service/ the.
____________________________________________________________________________
5.living/ is/ than / in /rural/ more/ areas / living/ urban /in / comfortable/
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
IV. SO SÁNH HƠN VỚI TRẠNG TỪ (COMPARATIVE FORMS OF ADVERBS)
Tương tự như với tính từ, trang từ chia thành 2 loại:
-.Trạng từ ngắn là những trạng từ có 1 âm tiết.
Ví dụ: hard, near, far, right, wrong…………
-Trạng từ dài là những từ có từ 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
S1 +V +more / less +adv +than+ S2
Với các trạng từ ngắn, thường là trạng từ chỉ
-Với trạng từ dài, hầu hết là các trạng từ chỉ cách thức
cách thức có hình thức giống tính từ, ta thêm “er” có đuôi “ly” ta thêm “mỏe”(nhiều hơn) hoặc “less”(ít
vào sau trạng từ
hơn) vào các trước trang từ
-“Less” là từ phản nghĩa của “more” ,được dùng để
diễn đạt sự không bằng nhau ở mức độ ít hơn.
Ví dụ:
Ví dụ:
They work harder than I do.
My friend did the test more carefuly than I did.
She runs faster than he does
My father talks more slowly than my mother does.
My mother gets up earlier than me.
Hanh acts less resposibly than anyone
I go to school later than my friends do
2.Một vài trạng từ có dạng từ đặc biệt:
Tính từ
Well
Badly
Far
Early

Dạng so sánh hơn
Better
Worse
Farther/ further
Earlier

there are about 3.6 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, the busiest port in the South
Pacific and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In Sydney, the buildings are higher, the colors are
brighter and the nightlife is more exciting. There are over 20 excellent beaches close to Sydney and its warm
climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas. There are two things that
make Sydney famous: its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, which was built in 1932 and the Sydney
Opera House, which was opened in 1973.

X. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has
both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young
children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there are
fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in
the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a
result, you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the
whole, it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or
single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.
1. According to the passage, living in the country has
.
A. both good and bad points
B. only bad points
C. only good points
D. no disadvantages

B. Four
C. Three
D. No
3. Living in the country is safer for young children because
.
A. there are few shops

XII. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and impressive temples; there are a few parks
worth visiting. Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses,
rooms, shops. Long-side streets consist of
tiny houses only, and this often creates a toy-like, with small women tip-toeing along in their kimonos.
Tokyo at night is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime. Millions of neon lights are switched on
and nowhere in the world is more attractive.
A town is not its buildings alone; it is an atmosphere, its pleasure, its sadness, its madness, and above all
its people. Tokyo may lack architectural beauty but it has character and excitement; it is alive. I found it a
mysterious and lovable city.
