Exercise 2: READING COMPREHENSON:
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.:
Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that make up our culture. Culture is the
framework in which families are structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals. Culture plays a part in the
meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is important. Culture affects the roles
that spouses take within marriages, the age at marriage and number of children a couple have, the meaning of
divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents raise children. Understanding how
relationships and marriages vary across cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the
unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures. As a result, we will be able to help
families and sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely exciting. The cultural background,
visits to the other country, the language of the country and learning to speak it, the different habits and ways of
doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are. all very exciting indeed. What of the
disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or love relationship with someone from another country or cultural
background? No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural
awareness, cross cultural communication and respect for differences. Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable.

Exercise 2: READING COMPREHENSON:
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables humans to share
knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is
composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent behaviors
such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture
and spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn,
respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a
person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal
skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading nonverbal
cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to
communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do' not cease to exist
although become entwined in the total communication process.
1. According to the writer, ________.
a. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.
b. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.
c. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language.
d. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language.
2. Which is not included in nonverbal communication?
a. words b. spatial distance c. facial expressions d. tone of voice
3. We can learn from the text that ________.
a. nonverbal can never get any responses
b. most people do not like nonverbal communication
c. even silence has message value
d. touching is not accepted in communicating
4. Human beings ________.
a. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books
b. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature
c. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child
d. communicate in nonverbal language much less than they do in verbal language
5. The word reading has a close meaning to ________.
a. looking at the words that are written b. understanding
c. saying something aloud d. expressing

UNITS 5-8
CÂU ĐIỀU KIỆN
1/ Type I Conditionals: (Future Possible)
If clause Main Clause
Simple present Simple future
(will/ shall/ can + inf.)
* Điều kiện này dùng để diễn tả một sự việc có khả năng sẽ xảy ra trong tương lai.
Ví dụ: If you don’t study, you won’t pass your exam.
Lưu ý: a - Thay vì dùng Simple Future, ta dùng Can, May, Must + Verb (without to) hoặc mệnh lệnh cách (Imperative
form) ở mệnh đề chính.
Ví dụ: If you try hard, you can pass the exam.
If you see Tom, give him this book, please.
b - Thì present simple có thể dùng ở mệnh đề chính để chỉ một điều kiện có thực (a real condition)
Ví dụ: If you are right, I am wrong.
2/ Type II Conditionals: (Present unreal)
If clause Main clause
Simple past Present Conditional (would/ should + inf.)
* Điều kiện này dùng để diễn tả những sự việc trái với sự thực hiện tại hoặc hồn tồn khơng thể xảy ra trong tương lai.
Ví dụ: If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
If I were a bird, I would be a pigeon.
Lưu ý: - Ở mệnh đề If loại II, Past simple thực ra là Past Subjunctive (quá khứ giả định); hai hình thức này giống
nhau nhưng động từ Be ta dùng Were cho tất cả các ngôi thứ; trong văn nói ta có thể dùng Was với (I, He, She, It).
- Would thường được viết tắt là ’d.
3/ Type III Conditionals: (Past unreal)
If clause Main clause
Past perfect Perfect Conditional
(would/ should + have + p.p)
* Điều kiện không có thật trong quá khứ, để diễn tả những tình huống trái với thực tế trong quá khứ.

4/ Mixed Conditionals:
If clause Main clause
Past perfect Present Conditional
(would/ should + inf.)
* Trong câu điều kiện loại này, mệnh đề điều kiện diễn tả sự việc trái sự thật quá khứ trong khi mệnh đề chính diễn tả
việc trái sự thật hiện tại.
Ví dụ: If she had applied for that job last year, she would be very rich now.
* Lưu ý : + Có thể bỏ IF nếu trợ động từ đứng trước động từ như :
Ex : If it stops raining = Should it stops raining .
If I were rich = Were I rich .
If he had known = Had he known
+ Unless = If… not .
Ex : These plants will die unless you water them regularly .
= These plants will die if you don’t water them regularly .
MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ
( Mệnh đề tính ngữ )
A - Được nối với mệnh đề chính bởi các đại từ quan hệ :
1 – WHO : đại từ quan hệ đứng sau danh từ chỉ người , làm chủ ngữ cho động từ sau nó .
Ex : The woman who lives next door is very friendly .
2 – WHOM : đại từ quan hệ đứng sau danh từ chỉ người , làm tân ngữ cho động từ sau nó .
Ex : The man whom you saw yesterday is my uncle .
3 – WHICH : đại từ quan hệ đứng sau danh từ chỉ con vật , đồ vật , làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ cho động từ sau nó .
Ex : The book which has some wonderful pictures is about Africa .

giới hạn .

This is the man that I met in Paris last month .
Lưu ý : + That thường được dùng sau danh từ có tính từ so sánh bậc nhất ( the best , the most ,…; everybody ,
anybody , nobody , somebody , everything , something …)
Ex : He’s the best teacher that I have ever known .
+ That được dùng khi danh từ trước nó chỉ cả người và vật .
Ex : I can see a girl and her dog that are running in the park .
+ That không bao giờ dùng trong mệnh đề không giới hạn và không đứng sau giới từ .
+ Nếu that làm tân ngữ thì ta có thể bỏ đi .
Ex : Have you ever seen the dress that I’ve just bought ?
= Have you ever seen the dress I’ve just bought ?

C – Phân loại : có 2 loại
C 1 : Mệnh đề quan hệ có giới hạn :

Ex : I don’t know the man who is talking to Mary .
The picture which Tom is looking at is beautiful .
C 2 : Mệnh đề quan hệ không giới hạn :
Không có mệnh đề này , câu vẫn đủ nghĩa bởi vì từ đứng trước đã được xác định . Trước danh từ thường có : this ,
that , these , those , my , your , her , his , their , our , hoặc tên riêng . Nó được ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính bằng các
dấu phẩy .
Ex : His father , who is working in a shoe factory , will retire next year .
I had a personal talk with Jane , who wanted to take that job .
ALTHOUGH , EVEN THOUGH .
1 – Although :
- Là liên từ sử dụng để hình thành một mệnh đề phụ mang nghĩa trái ngược với mệnh đề chính trong câu .
Ex : Although I asked her , she didn’t come .
- Vị trí : thường là ở đầu mệnh đề phụ và mệnh đề này có thể đứng trước hoặc sau mệnh đề chính
Ex : She didn’t come although I asked her .
Although he is very tired , he tries his best to finish the race .
- Khi mệnh đề phụ chứa although đứng đầu câu thì ở mệnh đề chính không dùng but hay yet mà chỉ dùng dấu
phẩy để tách 2 mệnh đề . Nếu mệnh đề chính đứng trước thì ta không dùng dấu phẩy .
- Ta có thể sử dụng though thay thế cho although trong văn nói hay văn phong thân mật .
Ex : Though I asked her , she didn’t come .

II – Reading : Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F)
People used to know more or less how their children would live. Now things are changing so quickly that we
don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. What follows is not science fiction. It’s how
experts see the future.
You’re daydreaming behind the wheel of your car, but that’s OK. You have it on automatic pilot, and with its high-
tech computers and cameras, your car “knows” how to get you home safely.
What’s for lunch? In the old days, you used to stop off to buy a hamburger or pizza. Now you use your diagnostic
machine to find out which foods your body needs. You find out you need more vegetables and less fat. Your food-
preparation machine makes you a salad.
After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work.
Thanks to your information screen and your new computer, you almost never go into the office any more. The
information screen shows an urgent message from a co-worker in Brazil. You set the screen to translate Portuguese
into English, then you read and reply to the message.
1. The experts who write science fiction think about our own lives in the future.
2. You will be able to get home safely by car because you bring your own high-tech computers and cameras
with you.
3. For lunch, your special machine will help you choose proper foods and makes you a salad.
4. With the help of your information screen and new computer, you will be able to work at home without
going to the office.
5. When receiving an urgent message from someone in Brazil, you will be able to translate it from
Portuguese into English yourself before reading and replying to the message.
