III. Grammar
1. Some/any
- Both some and any are used to say unidentified amount of something when it is impossible or
not necessary to say the exact amount.
1.1. Some: Một ít, một vài
- Some is often used in affirmative sentences before countable nouns in plural forms or
uncountable nouns.
Examples:
I want some milk.
I need some eggs.
- Sometimes some is used in interrogative sentences when expecting the answer is Yes, or is used
in sentences for requesting, inviting and offering
Examples:
Did you buy some oranges?
Would you like some more coffee?
Giaoandethitienganh.info
May I go out for some drink?
1.2. Any: Một ít, một vài
- Any is often used before countable nouns in plural form or uncountable nouns in negative or
interrogative sentences.
Examples:
Do you want any sugar?
She didn't see any boys in her class.
- Any is used before uncountable nouns and countable nouns in singular form in affirmative
clauses with negative meaning or after words having negative meaning like never, hardly,
scarcely, without...
Examples:
I'm free all day. Come and see me any time you like.
He's lazy. He never does any work
If there are any letters for me, can you send them on to this address?
If you need any more money, please let me know.
Notes:
- We can use some and any without any nouns when those nouns are identified.
Examples:
Tim wanted some milk, but he couldn't find any.
(Or) If you have no stamps, I will give you some.
- Pronouns like something, anything, someone, anyone, somebody, anybody, somewhere,
anywhere... can be used in a similar way with some and any.
Examples:
I don't see anything on the table.
(Or) Is there anybody in your house now?
(Or) I want to do something to help you.
2. A cup of tea, a loaf of bread
- Tea and bread are uncountable nouns, so we cannot use article ‘a’ or numbers before them, but
we can say a cup of tea và a loaf of bread.
Giaoandethitienganh.info
- Some other examples of expression of uncountable nouns: a carton of apple juice, a tin of
paint, a bottle of milk, a box of cereal, a tube of toothpaste, a glass of coffee, a piece of wood, a
slice of bread, a sheet of paper, half a pound of butter, two littres of petrol, a bar of chocolate...
- This way of expression can also be used for plural nouns after of: a box of matches, two kilos
of tomatoes, a collection of stamps

V. Read the text and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
A cacao tree is about seven meters high and is covered with large leaves. Up to 6,000 small
pink or white flowers appear on a tree every year. Only a few of these flowers produce a pod.
Each pod is about 15 to 20 centimetres long and contains from 20 to 50 beans. A tree produces
only about 20 to 40 pods a year.
People gather these pods, break them open with large knives, take out the beans, and dry
them. After a few days, the beans are cleaned, roasted, and ground into tiny pieces. The natural
fat in the beans becomes a liquid. Chocolate is made from this liquid.
Today the largest suppliers of chocolate are Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Brazil.
Ghana got its first cacao tree from Fernando Po, a Spanish colony off the coast of Africa. A
Ghanaian who was working on Fernando Po in 1879 took a cacao pod home and planted it. It
grew into a tree. Other people slowly started growing cacao trees. Before this, there were wars in
the region for decades. When people started growing cacao trees, they stopped fighting. In this
way, chocolate brought peace to the Africans there.
Giaoandethitienganh.info
A tropical tree with an Indian name brought peace to West Africa. Chocolate brings
pleasure to all of us when we eat and drink this delicious food.
1. _________ A cacao tree is about seven meters high and covered with large pink and white
leaves.
2. _________ Each year, a cacao tree has 6,000 flowers which produce a pod of about 15 to 20
centimetres long and contains from 20 to 50 beans.
3. _________ Chocolate is made from the liquid which are the natural fat in the beans taken out
from the cacao's flower pods.
4. _________ People in Ghana started planting cacao in 1879 and cacao trees helped them stop
fighting.
5. _________ We can feel happy and comfortable when we eat and drink chocolate.
VI. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
Isn't it amazing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten ...?”
“What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And when you travel from one country to another,
you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat
is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat
potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many
things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of
orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink
large amount of beer and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is
thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New
Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat
because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is very little
common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always
been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

III. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
Indians in North and South America ate popcorn thousands of years ago. Scientists found
some ears of popcorn in New Mexico, a state in the United States. They were 5,600 years old.
Farmers probably learned to raise popcorn first before they planted other kinds of com. Farmers
now raise popcorn in the United States, Australia, Argentina, South Africa, and southern Europe.
Corn was an important food for the Indians. It was also important for their religion. When
Columbus and other Europeans visited the New World, they saw this. When the Indians and
Europeans had their first Thanksgiving, they ate popcorn. Today Thanksgiving is an important
holiday in the United States but people don't usually eat popcorn for this holiday now.
Many Europeans and Indians fought wars with each other. When a war finished, the Indians
brought popcorn as a sign of peace.
In the 1920s, people started selling popcorn at movies. Now most movie theatres in the
United States sell popcorn. Popcorn and movies go together very well. During the Second World
War, American soldiers in the army taught Europeans to eat popcorn.
Is popcorn good for you? Yes, it is. However, some people put a lot of salt and butter or

III. Grammar
1. Conditional sentences type 2
1.1. Uses
The second conditional is used to talk about things which are unreal (not true or not possible) in
the present or the future -- things which don't or won't happen.
1.2. Forms
If + S + V (past simple), S + would (could, might...) + V (infinitive).
S +would (could, might) + V (infinitive) + if +S +V (past simple).
* Inversion: Were + S + (to V), S + would (could, might...) + V (infinitive)
Note:
We can use ‘were’ instead of ‘was’ with ‘I’ and ‘he/she/it’. This is mostly done in formal writing.
Example Explanation
If I were you, I would drive more carefully I am not you - this is unreal.
in the rain.
Paula would be sad if Jan left. Jan will not leave - that's not going to happen.
Giaoandethitienganh.info
If dogs had wings, they would be able to fly. Dogs don't have wings - that's impossible.
2. Relative clauses
1.1. Definition
A relative clause is a clause that usually modifies a noun or noun phrase and is introduced by a
relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose), a relative adverb (where, when, why). It is
also known as an adjective clause.
2.2. Relative pronouns / adverbs
person thing place time reason
subject who/that which/ that
object who/whom/that which/that
why
adverb where when
(for which)
whose
possession whose
(of which)
2.2.1. Who
- We use who in relative clauses to refer to people, and sometimes to pet animals.
Examples:
I need to meet the boy who is my friend's son.
That's the dog who doesn't like me.
We don't know the person who donated this money
2.2.2. Whom
- We use whom in formal styles or in writing to refer to people when the person is the object of
the verb. Whom can be used with prepositions in formal writing.
Examples:
I know the girl whom I spoke to.
The girl whom you saw at the concert is John's sister.
She smiled as she remembered the quiet scholar with whom she had shared a love of books.
2.2.3. Which
- We use which in relative clauses to refer to animals and to things.
Examples:
She works for a company which makes cars.
Giaoandethitienganh.info
The accident which Daniel saw wasn't very serious.
You need to tick the box which says yes.
- We always use which to introduce relative clauses when they refer to a whole sentence or
clause:
Examples:
He passed his exam, which pleased his parents.
She had to get up and walk all the way to the other side of the room, which isn't easy with a bad
back.
Notes: Which + prepositions
- We can use which as the complement of a preposition:
Early in the Autumn Term there is a reception at which you can meet current staff and students.
Close by, in the churchyard, is the famous Rudston stone, from which the village takes its name.
John found a cat, the leg of which was broken.
2.2.4. That
- We use that instead of who, whom or which in relative clauses to refer to people, animals and
things. We use it to introduce defining clauses only.
Examples:
I need to meet the boy that! who is my friend's son.
I know the girl that/ who/ whom I spoke to.
She works for a company that/ which makes cars.
* We can use That:
- after: something, anyone, nobody...or “all, much, none, little...”
I'll tell you something that is very interesting.
- after superlatives or ordinal numbers: only, first, last, second, next...
This is the most beautiful dress that I've ever had.
* We can't use That:
- in non-defining relative clauses.
Mr Brown, that we studied English with, is a very nice teacher (wrong).
- after prepositions.
The house in that I was horn is for sale. (wrong)
* We must use That:
- after phrases indicating both people and things.
He told me the places and people that he had seen in London.
Giaoandethitienganh.info
2.2.5. Whose
- We usually use whose as a relative pronoun to indicate possession by people and animals. In
more formal styles we can also use it for things.
Examples:
John found a cat whose leg was broken.
This is the student whose book I borrowed.
He's marrying a girl whose family don't seem to like him.
2.2.6. Relative pronouns: when, where and why
In informal language, we often use where, when or why to introduce defining relative clauses
instead of at which, on which or for which.
I know a restaurant where the food is excellent, (...a restaurant at
where place
which the food is excellent)
There isn't a day when I don't feel rushed off my feet, (...a day on which
when time
I don't feel rushed ...)
Do you know the reason why the shop is closed today? (... the reason
why reason
for which the shop is closed ...)

PART 3. READING
I. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or D.
Do you often use shampoo or put ketchup on your food? Have you ever visited a sauna? If
you think these words are originally English, you'd better think again. In fact, each of these words
comes from a different language! Shampoo, for example, is actually a word from the Hindi
language in India. This word originally meant "massage". In hair shops in India, barbers massage
your head while washing your hair. Over time, British people in India used this word to mean a
liquid that cleans hair.
Almost everyone knows what ketchup is. People all over the world like to pour this sauce
on French fries or sandwiches. This word is original Chinese (from ketsiap, a fish sauce). In the
Giaoandethitienganh.info
1600s, British and Dutch sailors brought the fish sauce to Europe. Over time, people change the
sauce by adding tomato flavour to it, but the name basically stayed the same.
Sauna, a popular type of public steam room and shower facility, comes from the Finnish
language. During one of the European Olympics, athletes from Britain and Germany saw Finnish
athletes use saunas after training. Later, the general public all over Europe started using this style
of bathing, too. Now, we still use this word to describe all kinds of steam rooms.
English is full of many wonderful borrowed words from many languages. Perhaps English
should change its name to Eng-hin-chi-fre-ger-ital-span-ish!
46. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Usage of words from other languages in English
B. English words in other languages
C. The most popular borrowed words
D. Words from India
47. What did the original word for ketchup mean?
A. A kind of fish B. A kind of fish sauce
C. A hair shop D. A red tomato sauce
48. Which of the following words is from Hindi?

B. The public liked the Olympics
C. The Finnish travelled a lot.
D. It was good after training

to?
A. The name of a language
B. The name of people who speak English
C. The name of a country
D. The name of a group of people
II. Read the following passage and decide which answer best fits each numbered blank.
When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do

Giaoandethitienganh.info
sometimes you guess. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (53) _________of
accuracy you require and the time at your disposal.
If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (54)
_________ remembering that every dictionary has its limitations. Each definition is only an
approximation and one builds up ar, accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting
it in a (55) _________ of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of
dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use
a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (56) _________ an English-English dictionary.
In most exams, you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (57) _________ you are allowed
to use one, it is very time-consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You
are, (58) _________, forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words.
When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic. However,
if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will (59) _________a number
of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first thought
likely.

III. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
English borrowed words that are used in other languages are called Anglicisms. An
Anglicism is a word, phrase, or idiom characteristic of or peculiar to the English language. Most
Anglicisms were adopted in the IT field or other areas where new technology is developed. Due
to the rapidness with which technology changes, some countries tend to just adopt the English
Giaoandethitienganh.info
words for new technology and developments into their native language rather than coining a new
native term.
There are also many Anglicisms which have infiltrated the German language, such as
Computer, Scanner, Adapter, Aftershave, Airline, Alien... Some of these terms have no German
equivalent, like Scanner or Adapter. That's because when these things became available in
Germany their English names were simply borrowed into German. But many of these terms have
an actual German equivalent which has been around for years. We can see that the Germans have
not only borrowed newer terms, they also replaced some of the common German words with
English ones. The Germans call these English terms which have entered into their everyday
language Neologisms. Some Neologisms, however, have come to have a completely different
meaning from that of the source language.

People often call English the international language of business, and it is increasingly true as
international trade expands every year, bringing new countries into contact. Many of the best MBA
programs are taught in English, so speaking it well can enable you to get the best training and credentials.
Most multinational companies require a certain degree of English proficiency from potential employees;
so, to get a position in a top company, more and more people are learning English.
If your ambitions lie in science or medicine, you can't neglect English either. Much of the technical
terminology is based on English words, and if you want to learn about the latest developments and
discoveries from around the world, you'll read about them in journals and research reports published in
English, no matter whether the scientists who wrote them are from China or Norway. And, of course,
with good conversational English, youll be able to network and make important contacts at conferences
and seminars.
English also opens doors in the academic world. Of course, if the best program in your field is in an
English-speaking country, English will give you the opportunity to study with the top scholars. Western
universities are attracting more and more visiting scholars, students and professors from all around the
world, and their common working language is English. As well as studying and teaching, attending
international conferences and publishing in foreign journals are some of the key steps to success in
academia. To speak at these conferences or publish in these journals, excellent English is essential.
56. According to the passage, what are the reasons why more people are learning English?

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the: option A, B, C or
D.
The eating habits in the Indian culture are largely based on religion and tradition. A high-
vegetable diet with no beef and generally no pork comes from the Hindu religion. Habits of how
and when food is consumed are also based on social traditions, and most families form their
particular habits around a combination of cultural and family traditions.
Eating habits of the Indian culture are based on culinary traditions. Most dishes feature meat
or vegetables mixed with sauce and rice. Many Indians are vegetarian, so eating habits are often
based on a diet that excludes all meat. When meat is incorporated in dishes, it is most commonly
in the form of chicken, beef or lamb, and sometimes seafood, such as prawns. The majority of the
Indian population is Hindu, so beef and pork are often excluded from Indian dishes due to
religious requirements.

VI. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or
D.
People have always gazed up at the stars in wonder. Their imaginations are filled with
possibility as they think carefully how large the universe is and whether or not we are alone in it.
Of all the stars out there, are there intelligent beings on a planet circling one of the stars looking
back at us and wondering the same thing?
It is difficult to comprehend how many stars there are, or even to guess the possibilities of
their being intelligent life. Yet our interest in finding out is so strong that the search has been
going on for over a century. What we consider the modern Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
(SETI) began around 1960.
The SETI project is not what many people think it is. A simple explanation is that scientists
study electromagnetic waves that are being emitted throughout the universe. When they are
looking at these waves, they have a good idea of what are considered natural, random patterns the
waves take. Therefore, they are searching for anything that does not appear to be randomly
generated. If they were able to find something non-random, they would believe that an intelligent
source of some kind must be creating it. In other words, intelligent life would have to exist
somewhere else in the universe.
While the SETI project will continue to listen for signals from an intelligent source, other
programmes hope to find any source of life. The Mars rovers will continue to search for dry lake
beds and other areas on the Red Planet that may have once held life. If any life can be found
outside the earth, then we are probably on our way to finding life that could be similar to our
own.

B. The rovers on Mars are looking for signs of life.
C. People have long wondered if we are alone in the universe.
D. Scientists are searching for any form of life that is found elsewhere than the earth.
4. Why are people searching for intelligent life in space?
A. Because it is the reason for people's existence.
B. Because life must exist somewhere else.
C. Because they want to meet aliens.

III. Grammar
1. Non- defining relative clauses
- We use non-defining relative clauses to give extra information about the person or thing. It is
not necessary information. We don't need it to understand who or what is being referred to.
- We always use a relative pronoun (who, which, whose or whom) to introduce a non-defining
relative clause (In the examples, the relative clause is in bold). In writing, we use commas around
non-defining relative clauses.
Example:
My car, which is very large, uses too much gasoline. (Sự việc chiếc xe của tôi rất lớn là thông tin
bổ sung và không quan trọng cho phần còn lại của câu)
This is Tom whose brother is my best friend. (Sự việc anh của Tom là bạn thân nhất của tôi là
thông tin bổ sung và không quan trọng cho phần còn lại của câu)
Note:
- Non-defining relative clauses can use most relative pronouns (which, whose etc,) but they
CAN'T use 'that' and the relative pronoun can never be omitted.
Example:
Giaoandethitienganh.info
Ms Brown, who(m) you met at our school, is going to get married next month.
David, who(m) everybody suspected, turned out to be innocent.
We stayed at Huong Giang Hotel, which Mary recommended to us.
- The relative pronoun which at the beginning of a non-defining relative clause can refer to all
the information contained in the previous part of the sentence, rather than to just one word..
Example: It rained all night, which was good for the garden. (Which means "the fact that it
rained all night")
2. Future passive
2.1. Changing a sentence into the passive voice
2.3. Note
Giaoandethitienganh.info
- Only transitive verbs (those that take objects) can be transformed into passive constructions.
Furthermore, active sentences containing certain verbs cannot be transformed into passive
structures.
Example: A serious accident happened on a railway bridge on Sunday.
- Subjects such as: I, you. he. she. it, we. they, one, people, some, somebody can be omitted in
passive form
Example:
Someone left this purse in a classroom.
This purse was left in a classroom.
- with is used in place of 'by' to talk about an instrument used by the agent/ subject.
Example:
The room was filled ivith smoke.
This report was written with a fountain pen.
- Adverbs of manner can be used between be and past participle
Example:
My teacher has studied this issue carefully.
This issue has been carefully studied by my teacher.
- Adverbs of places can be used before by + O (agent)
Example:
The police found him in the forest.
He was found in the forest by the police.
- Adverbs of time must be used after by + O (agent)
Example:
Her friend typed the letter this morning.
The letter was typed by her friend this morning.

III. Read the following text and answer the questions below.
It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school.
British students are helped by career teachers, who inform them about different careers, the
qualifications needed and try to help them make up their minds. Mr. Hemmings, a career teacher
for around five years and, on the whole, I've found it a rewarding experience. Our students have
Giaoandethitienganh.info
career lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 and 16 years old). My task
consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each job, as well as
the type of work and personal skills involved. Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some
youngsters have no idea at all of what they want to do, or of what the real would outside school
really is. They come to me and say ‘I don't like routine nine-to-five jobs... I'd like something
exciting that pays well..’ What can I say? That we're running out of exciting jobs? But they
usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a while.
Anyway, here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know
about their favourite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are
happening so quickly around here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you just don't
know what to say. A few days ago, I asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind and he
replied ‘I haven't any plans... You see, Sir, I don't know what new jobs will replace today's’.
What could I say?
61. How often do British students have career lessons?

II. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the option A, B, C or
D.
From the earliest times in ancient Mesopotamia, women who came from a sector of society
that could afford to have statues made, placed their likenesses in temple shrines. This was done so
that their images would stand in constant prayer while they continued to go about their daily
chores. This female worshipper statue wears a standard fashion of the time, a simple draped dress
with her right shoulder bare and hair done up in elaborate braided coils.
The Mesopotamian woman's role was strictly defined. She was the daughter of her father or
the wife of her husband. Women rarely acted as individuals outside the context of their families.
Those who did so were usually royalty or the wives of men who had power and status.
Most girls were trained from childhood for the traditional roles of wife, mother, and
housekeeper. They learned how to grind grain, how to cook and make beverages, especially beer,
and how to spin and weave cloth for clothing. If a woman worked outside of her home, her job
usually grew out of her household tasks. She might sell the beer she brewed, or even become a
tavern keeper. Childbearing and childcare roles led women to become midwives and also to
create medicines that prevented pregnancy or produced abortions.
