holiday, so I decided to go into the jungle and I asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me.
We started preparing for the trip at six in the morning, and left camp with two elephants carrying our
equipment. It was hot but Kamal made me wear shoes and trousers to protect me from snakes. In the
jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto
the elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they
sleep in the heat of the day.
Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet. We crept (rón rén) nearer
and found a dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly I started to feel very
frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos
plus and four meters long. I looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It
grabbed (vồ) Kamal's leg between its teeth, but I managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants
ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch.
That night it was impossible to sleep!

Why do we have the Olympic games? How did they begin? The first Olympic Games that we have
records of were in Greece in 776 B.C. The games lasted one day. The only event in the first thirteen
Olympic Games was a race. Men ran the length of the stadium (about 192 meters). Then, longer
running races were added. Through the years, a few other kinds of events, like the long jump, were
also added. During this time, the games were for men only, and women could not even watch them .
In the year 393, a Roman emperor ended the Olympic Games because the quality of the games
became very low. The Olympics did not take place again for 1500 years!
In 1894, Pierre de Courbertin of France helped form the International Olympic Committee, and the
modern Olympic Games began. In 1896 the games were held again in Athens, Greece. The Greeks
built a new stadium for the competition. Three hundred and eleven athletes from thirteen countries
competed in many events. The winners became national heroes.
After 1896, the games were held every four years during the summer in different cities around the
world. In 1900, the Olympics were in Paris, France, and women competed for the first time. In 1908,
in London, England, the first gold medals were given to winning athletes. Before that time, the
winners received only silver and bronze medals.
The Olympic flag was first introduced in 1920 in Antwerp, Belgium. The flag has five rings on it. The
rings represent the continents of Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America.
Each ring is a different colorblue, yellow, black, green, or red - because the flag of each of the
countries that compete in the games has at least one of these colors in it.
The Olympic Winter Games began in 1924 in Chamois, France. Athletes competed in winter events
such as skiing, ice skating, and ice hockey. Today, the Winter Games take place every four years.
The Summer Games also take place every four years, but not in the same year as the winter
events. Both the Summer Games and the Winter Games must have at least fifteen events, and they
cannot last more than sixteen days.
Until recently, Olympic competitors could not be professional athletes. All of the athletes in the
Olympic Games were amateurs. Today, however, many of the Olympic athletes are professionals
who play their sports for money during the year. Some people disagree with this idea. They believe
that the Olympic Games are for amateur athletes, not paid professionals. Other people think that
anyone can play in the Olympic Games. No matter who the athletes are, millions of people
throughout the world enjoy watching the greatest athletic competitions, the Summer games and the
Winter Games of the Olympics.

For thousand of years, man lived in a very primitive way. Before the recent
developments in agriculture, medicine and industry, life was difficult. It was hard to
make a living from the soil without modern farming methods, and a few years of bad
crops could mean famine and therefore death – as it still does today in some parts of
the world. Illnesses as mild and as common as influenza could kill a Stone-Age man
weakened by hunger; appendicitis was always fatal before the days of surgery. Even
childbirth was a hazardous process. Under these conditions, the human race needed to
reproduce at a high rate just to keep in existence. But the size of the population did not
change very rapidly, for without modern medicine, many babies and young children
died. So for a long time, the population grew very slowly. And this is still the case today
in some parts of the world where the people live without the aids of modern technology.
It was only about two centuries ago – which is less than one-thousandth of man’s
existence – that the population growth pattern changed. New discoveries in medical
science had a dramatic effect on the death-rate. Fewer children died in infancy, and
adults lived longer. Consequently, the population began to expand rapidly. And in the
20th century, this acceleration of population growth has begun to cause serve social
economic problems in many developing countries.

Tôi luôn có vấn đề khi đi nghỉ hè. Hàng năm, đại lý du lịch của tôi hứa hẹn rằng kỳ nghỉ của tôi sẽ là
tốt nhất mà tôi từng có, nhưng không có lời hứa nào đã trở thành sự thật. Năm nay tôi bị ngộ độc
thực phẩm vào ngày tôi đến. Đó là vì cá tôi đã ăn tối tại khách sạn. Buổi sáng tôi cảm thấy thật kinh
khủng, và tôi đã được hai bác sĩ nhìn thấy. Tôi đã cố gắng giải thích vấn đề của tôi với họ nhưng
không ai trong số họ nói tiếng Anh. Tôi đã mất hầu hết tuần đầu tiên để bình phục, và tôi đã dành ba
hoặc bốn ngày ngồi cạnh hồ bơi khách sạn đọc báo. Bởi thời gian tôi đã tốt hơn thời tiết đã thay đổi
và mưa cả ngày và cả đêm. Tôi sẽ ở nhà cho kỳ nghỉ năm sau.

Mệnh đề quan hệ là mệnh đề phụ được nối với mệnh đề chính bởi các đại từ quan hệ như who, whom, whose,
which, that hay các trạng từ quan hệ như where, when, why. Mệnh đề quan hệ đứng ngay đằng sau danh từ,
đại từ trong mệnh đề chính để bổ sung ý nghĩa cho danh từ, đại từ ấy, phân biệt danh từ đại từ ấy với các danh
từ đại từ khác. Chức năng của nó giống như một tính từ do vậy nó còn được gọi là mệnh đề tính ngữ.
Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định chỉ cho người đọc biết chính xác về đối tượng (người, vật,…) mà chúng ta đang nói
đến trong câu. Nếu mệnh đề xác định bị lược bỏ khỏi câu thì ý nghĩa của toàn bộ câu sẽ thay đổi một cách đáng
kể. Mệnh đề xác định không bị chia cắt với phần còn lại của câu văn bởi bất kì dấu phẩy hay dấu ngoặc đơn nào.
Ví dụ: a. The woman who visited me in the hospital was very kind.
b. The vase that my mother bought last week is already broken.
c. The man who stole my wallet has been arrested.
d. The weather that we had this summer was beautiful.
2. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định (Non-defining relative clauses)
Mệnh đề không xác định có tác dụng bổ sung thêm thông tin về người hay vật mà chúng ta đang đề cập đến
trong câu. Nếu mệnh đề không xác định bị lược bỏ, thì một số thông tin về chủ thể sẽ bị thiếu sót, nhưng nhìn
chung thì ý nghĩa của câu vẫn giữ nguyên. Mệnh đề không xác định luôn được chia cắt bởi dấu phẩy hoặc dấu
ngoặc đơn.
Ví dụ: a. The farmer, whose name was Frankie, sold us 10 pounds of potatoes.
b. Elephants, which are the largest land mammals, live in herds of 10 or more adults.
c. The author, who graduated from the same university I did, gave a wonderful presentation.
3. Lưu ý khi sử dụng mệnh đề quan hệ
a. Nếu trong mệnh đề quan hệ có giới từ thì giới từ có thể đặt trước hoặc sau mệnh đề quan hệ (chỉ áp
dụng với whom và which)
Ví dụ: Mr. Brown is a nice teacher. We studied with him last year.
→ Mr. Brown, with whom we studied last year, is a nice teacher.
→ Mr. Brown, whom we studied with last year, is a nice teacher.
b. Có thể dùng which thay cho cả mệnh đề đứng trước.
Ví dụ: She can’t come to my birthday party. That makes me sad.
→ She can’t come to my birthday party, which makes me sad.
Ở vị trí túc từ, whom có thể được thay bằng who.
Ví dụ: I’d like to talk to the man whom/who I met at your birthday party.
c. Trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định , chúng ta có thể bỏ các đại từ quan hệ làm túc từ: whom, which.
Ví dụ: The girl you met yesterday is my close friend.
→ The book you lent me was very interesting.
d. Các cụm từ chỉ số lượng some of, both of, all of, neither of, many of, none of ,… có thể được dùng
trước whom, which và whose.
Ví dụ: I have two sisters, both of whom are students.
→ She tried on three dresses, none of which fitted her

THE POSTAGE STAMP
Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The sender
paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. Then the person in other country paid for that part of
the trip. If the letter crossed several coutries, the problem was worse.
Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of a postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post
office made the first stamps in 1840. They were the Penny Black and the Twopence Blue. A person
bought a stamp and put it on a letter. The post office delivered the letter. When people received letters,
they didn't have to pay anything. The letters were prepaid.
Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. Other countries started making their own
postage stamps very quickly. There were still problems with international mail. Some countries did not
want to accept letters with stamps from another country. Finally, in 1874 a German organized the
Universal Postal System. Each country in the UPS agree to accept letters with prepaid postage from the
other members. Today the offices of the UPS are in Switzerland, almost every country in the world is a
member of this organization. It takes care of any international mail problems.
Today post offices in the every country sell beautiful stamps. Collecting stamps is one of the most
popular hobbies in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Twopence
Blue.

wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite resources of the Earth in a way that will
safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life forms which share this planet with us.

V. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers:
The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many communities are burning
garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil
is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes. Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from
coal, oil shale, and coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are
underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power is also being tested. Some experts expect
utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric
power provided one third of the electricity used in the United States, but to day it supplies only 4 percent. The
oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean
currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of temperature
differences in ocean water to produce energy.

COLLECTIBLES (HOBBIES)
Collectibles have been a part of almost every culture since ancient times. Whereas some objects have been
collected for their usefulness, others have been selected for their aesthetic beauty alone. In the United States, the
kinds of collectibles currently popular range from traditional objects such as stamps, coins, rare books, and art to
more recent items of interest like dolls, bottles, baseball cards, and comic books.
Interest in collectibles has increased enormously during the past decade, in part because some collectibles have
demonstrated their value as investment. Especially during cycles of high inflation, investors try to purchase
tangibles that will at least retain their current market values. In general, the most traditional collectibles will be
sought because they have preserved their value over the years, there is an organized auction market for them,
and they are most easily sold in the event that cash is needed. Some examples of the most stable collectibles are
old masters, Chinese ceramics, stamps, coins, rare books, antique jewelry, silver, porcelain, art by well-known
artists, autographs, and period furniture. Other items of more recent interest include old phonograph records, old
magazines, postcards, baseball cards, art glass, dolls, classic cars, old bottles, and comic books. These relatively
new kinds of collectibles may actually appreciate faster as short-term investments, but may not hold their value as
long-term investments. Once a collectible has had its initial play, it appreciates at a fairly steady rate, supported by
an increasing number of enthusiastic collectors competing for the limited supply of collectibles that come
increasingly more difficult to locate.

In the 20th century, magazines have been a major growth area of popular publishing. Specialist magazines cater
to every imaginable field and activity. In the United Kingdom, over 12,000 periodicals, magazines, bulletins,
annuals, trade journals, and academic journals are published on a regular basis. There are some 40 women's
magazines and over 60 dealing with particular sports, games, hobbies, and pastimes. Although some US
magazines, such as The Saturday Evening Post, has succumbed to competition of television, many continue to
have enormous international circulations, The Reader's Digest over 16 million, The National Geographic over 10
million. For many people, magazines have been the most available and widely used form of continuing education,
providing information about history, geography, literature, science, and the arts, as well as guidance on gardening,
cooking, home decorating, financial management, psychology, even marriage and family life.
Until the rise of television, magazines were the most available form of cheap, convenient entertainment in the
English-speaking world. Radio served a similar function, but it was more limited in what it could do. Magazines and
television, however, both address the more powerful visual sense. During the third quarter of the 20th century,
coincident with a dramatic rise in the popularity of television, many general interest, especially illustrated
magazines went out of business. The shift in attention of a mass, audience from reading such magazines to
watching television has been a major factor in this decline, but it is an implicit tribute from television to the older
genre that its programs are generally organized in a single format and content.

VI. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer:
There is one planet that still fascinates and teases scientists mainly because it doesn't have an atmosphere to
obscure observation, yet it is not big enough for sufficiently accurate telescopic observation. The fact that it is also
very close to the sun also makes it difficult for astronomers.
However, space telescopes have told us a lot more about Mercury. It is rather similar to Earth's moon and to
Mars. There are mountainous areas dotted with craters and large valleys which are uncratered. The moon's
valleys have fewer cracks and the ridges are smoother. Mercury's valleys are filled with volcanic rocks, similar to
on the moon, yet there is no evidence of volcanoes, even extinct ones, on Mercury, as there is on the both Mars
and the moon, and of course here on Earth.
So, scientists presume the valleys on Mercury were caused by different things, that is to say not by volcanoes, but
by very large meteorites, which also caused the cracks in the terrain and left the ridges rough and uneven. More
and better photos of Mercury are needed to prove what are at present at best only hypotheses.

(*) Cấu trúc câu bị động dạng: It is said that/People say that:
It is said that.../People say that... đều có chung một ý nghĩa: "Người ta tin rằng/cho rằng/nghĩ rằng....".
Để viết câu có nghĩa giống với câu gốc bắt đầu bằng It is said that.../People say that... ta có các cách viết sau:
a. Nếu động từ trong mệnh đề đầu và mệnh đề thứ hai cùng thì, cùng thời điểm ta đưa động từ thứ hai về
nguyên mẫu có "to"
It + be + V1(ed/III) + that + S2 + V2 (s/es)
→ S2 + be + V1(ed/III) + to + V2 (infinitive)
Ví dụ:
It is said that many people are jobless after closing the factory.
→ Many people are said to be jobless after closing the factory.
S1 + V1 + that + S2 + V2
→ S2 + be + V1(ed/III) + to + V2(infinitive)
Ví dụ:
People say that smoking causes cancer.
→ Smoking is said to cause cancer.
b. Nếu động từ trong mệnh đề thứ hai diễn tả hành động xảy ra trước hành động của động từ trong mệnh
đề thứ nhất, ta chuyển động từ trong mệnh đề thứ hai về quá khứ phân từ rồi thêm "to have" vào trước
One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of
America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor
Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal
framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a
site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New
York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was
taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it
was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a
symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in
America.
(*) Từ mới:
sculptor: nhà điêu khắc; thợ chạm;
copper: đồng (đỏ);
framework: khung, khuôn khổ;
pedestal: bệ, đôn;

Ecuador nằm trên đường xích đạo ở phía tây bắc của Nam Mỹ. Nó được tạo thành từ
đồng bằng ven biển ở phía tây và rừng mưa nhiệt đới ở phía đông. Hai khu vực này được
phân chia bởi Dãy núi Andes ở trung tâm của đất nước. Nền kinh tế dựa vào dầu và các
sản phẩm nông nghiệp. Nhiều loại dầu mỏ được sản xuất ở Ecuador hơn bất kỳ nước
Nam Mỹ nào khác ngoài Venezuela. Chuối, cà phê, ca cao được trồng ở đó. Nhiều sản
phẩm này được xuất khẩu.
Người dân chủ yếu là gốc Ấn Độ. Một số ngôn ngữ Ấn Độ được nói ở đó, ví dụ như
Quechua. Tiếng Tây Ban Nha cũng được nói đến ở Ecuador. Họ sử dụng đông tiền Sucre.
