That is the book that I like best
2. Non- Restrictive clauses/ non - defining clauses (mệnh đề không xác định ) : Đây là loại
mệnh đề mà chủ ngữ đà đợc xác định rõ nên không cần phải có mệnh đề này để làm rõ chủ ngữ
hơn mà mệnh đề này chỉ làm một nhiệm vụ là bổ sung thông tin cho chủ ngữ .
Ex: That man, whom you saw yesterday, is Mr. Pike
3. Differences between defining and non - defining adjectives clauses.

town.

Trong mệnh đề quan hệ không giới hạn.
Ex: This is Nam. He is my best friend.
à This is Nam that is my best friends. (wrong)
- Theo sau giới từ.
Ex: Here is the car. I told you about it.
à Here is the car which I told you about.
Here is the car about which I told you.

- Ta coù thể lược bỏ đại từ quan hệ trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định khi nó có chức năng là
tân ngữ trong
câu.
Ex: Here is the car ( which) I told you about.
- Đại từ quan hệ làm túc từ ở mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định không đợc lợc bỏ, trái lại, ở
mệnh đề
quan hệ xác định đại từ quan hệ có thể lợc bỏ.

The origins of the Olympic Games can be traced back to ancient Greece, to as far back as 776
B.C. It was a Greek tradition to hold athletic competitions every four years in honour of their gods or
dead heroes.
The prizes awarded to the winners of each event in those days were a crown of olive and a
palm branch. Although this may seem meaningless in modern times, the true prize lay in the

honour of having won the event. The winners were given places of honour on public occasions. In
some towns they even exempted from paying taxes.
The first modern Olympic games were held in Athens in 1896. Since then, nations from around
the world have been meeting every four years to compete against one another. New Olympic
records are set every time they meet. The only exception to this quadrennial event was in 1944,
when the Olympic games were not held because of the Second World war. {trace: find the origin

tamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as overs
(envelopes or packages with stamps on them). It is one of the world’s most popular
hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranking up to 20 million in the United
States alone.

create limited runs of elaborate (complicated) stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp
collectors. The stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries.

The Asian Games, also called the ASIAD, is a multi-sport event held every four years
among athletes from all over Asia. The games are regulated by the Olympic Council of Asia
(OCA) under the supervision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Medals are
awarded in each event, with gold for the first place, silver for second and bronze for third. This
tradition started in 1951. The Asian Games are dominated by the People’s Republic of China.


Competitors are entered by a National Olympic Committee (NOC) to represent their country of
citizenship. National anthems and flags accompany the medal ceremonies, and tables showing
the number of medals won by each country are widely used. In general, only recognized nations
are represented, but a few non-sovereign countries are allowed to take part. The special case of

Reading the passage and do the tasks that follow.
Anyone who thinks that bats are dangerous pets is wrong in most cases. In fact, most
species of bats are helpful to human beings. Sixty to seventy percent of bat species eat insects.
These bats will eat anything that they find as they fly through the air at night. Some people even
try to attract bats to their property to help control mosquitoes. Other bats are necessary to the
pollination {phấn hoa} of species of plants. Unfortunately, bats are frightening to anyone who


believes in the old stories of vampire bats. In reality, only three species of bats feed on blood,
usually only from small animals. It is true, however, that vampire bats can spread diseases such
as rabies {/’reibiz/ bệnh dại} to other species. Even though many people will continue to dislike
and fear bats, it is important to remember that they are an important part of the ecology,

especially, in rainforests. Anything that endangers to bats in these areas will also affect the
regions’ fragile ecosystems. Anyone who is interested in learning more about bats can visit his
or her local library.
Questions:
25. What do people often think about bats?
A. Bats are dangerous bests
B. Bats are helpful bests
C. Bats are wild bests
D. Bats are useful bests
26. Infact, most species of bats are to human beings.
A. dangerous
B. helpful
C. wild
D. useful
