III. NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES (MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ KHÔNG XÁC ĐỊNH):

Vd:
My teacher, WHO is teaching me Geography, gives me a lot of online homework. (Cô giáo của tôi, người đang
dạy tôi môn địa lý, cho tôi rất nhiều bài tập về nhà)

E7: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Look around your classroom. Do you see students sitting at desks? Are teachers writing on a board and giving
lectures? At Southern Cross School, near the famous Kruger National Park in South Mrica, things are different.
Here, nature is the classroom.
Both the park and the school are home to wild animals such as giraffes, impalas, and warthogs. Students at the
school study the same subjects as other students in South Mrica. But at
Southern Cross, the staff and students go out into the wild to learn.
In one lesson, students apply the principles of mathematics to the study of local wildlife. Younger students count
how many kinds of animals drank at the nearby

water troughs during the night. Older students measure the amount of water the animals drank, and calculate how
much water the animals will need over weeks or months.
In language classes, a common topic is conservation. In one recent debate, students discussed an important
question: should people give water to wild animals during a drought? Another project might consist of finding out
how an animal died.
The director of the school is Ant de Boer. His aim is for students to learn the importance of caring for the
environment. De Boer says, “When they leave school, we want them to be champions of the natural
environment.” As the school motto says, Southern Cross aims to be a “School for the Planet.”

E8: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.

If you find yourself learn better by making notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses a new word, you
want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual learner. You prefer to see the
written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners often think in pictures. If you find a particular
task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit your learning style, e.g. sources with illustrations, charts,
tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you memorize something by
repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more auditory learner. You prefer to
learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud,
and by listening to audio material.
