B. GRAMMAR
I. Dùng “It” để chỉ khoảng cách (“It” for distance)
Cấu trúc hỏi vể khoảng cách
Để hỏi về khoảng cách từ địa điểm A đến địa điểm B, chúng ta thường dùng cấu trúc sau:
Structure/ Example

How far is it from + địa điểm A + to + địa
điểm B?
E.g: How far is it from your house to the school?
(Nhà bạn cách trường bao xa?)
How far is it from here to the bus stop?
Bài tập Tiếng Anh 7 (Global Success) – U7

(Trạm xe buýt cách đây bao xa?)

Dùng “It” để chỉ khoảng cách

It's (about) + khoảng cách
E.g: It's about 300 metres.
(Khoảng 300m.)
It's 2 km from here to the bus stop. (Trạm xe buýt cách đây 2 km.)
Structure/ Example

Lưu ý:
About có thể được lược bỏ và khoảng cách có thể được thay bằng
một khoảng ước lượng.
E.g: It's very near.
(Nó rất gần.)

It's quite far.
(Nó khá xa.)
II. Dùng “should/ shouldn't” để đưa ra lời khuyên
- Chúng ta dùng Should hoặc Shouldn't để khuyên ai đó nên hay không nên làm gì.
E.g: A: I have a toothache. (Tôi bị đau răng.)
B: You should go to the dentist. (Bạn nên tới nha sỉ.)
Dạng thức
Công thức/ Ví dụ

(+) Khẳng định

S + should + V(nguyên
thể)
E.g: You should go to bed early. (Bạn nên đi ngủ sớm.)
We should help the old. (Chúng ta nên giúp đở người già.)

(-) Phủ định

S + shouldn't + V(nguyên

(?) Ghi vấn

Should + S + V(nguyên
thể)?
E.g: Should I get there? (Tôi có nên đến đó không?)
Should I take an aspirin? (Tôi có nên uống một viên aspirin không?)

C. PHONETICS
Âm /ai/ là sự kết hợp của âm /a:/ và âm /ɪ/. Để phát âm âm này,
ta mở miệng rộng, lưỡi hạ thấp đồng thời phá âm âm /a:/ sau
đó từ từ nâng quai hàm lên một chút và phát âm âm /ɪ/.
Lưu ý rằng âm /a:/ phải được phát âm dài hơn âm /ɪ/.

Bài tập Tiếng Anh 7 (Global Success) – U7

3

Âm /eɪ/ được tạo thành bởi sự kết hợp của /e/ và /ɪ/. Vì vậy, để
phát âm âm này, ta mở miệng tự nhiên, nâng lưỡi lên độ cao
vừa phải đồng thời phát âm âm /e/ sau đó từ từ nâng quai hàm
lên một chút và phát âm /ɪ/.

Reading

Exercise 1. Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Who are the best drivers? According to a recent survey, young and inexperienced drivers are the most
likely to have an accident. Older drivers are more careful. Young men have the worst accident records of
all. They often choose faster cars with bigger engines. One of the most interesting facts in the survey is that
passengers have an effect on the driver. When young male drivers have their friends in car, their driving
becomes worse. When their wife or girlfriends is in the car, however, their driving is better. But this is not
true for women. Their driving is more dangerous when their husband or boyfriend is in the car. However,
if their small children are riding in the car, they drive more slowly and safely.
