sau />D/ CÁCH DÙNG TỪ TRONG VĂN NÓI
3

1. Cách dùng 'just', 'already' hay 'yet':
Người Mỹ dùng từ 'just', 'already' hay 'yet' trong thì qu| khứ đơn giản- the simple past tense,
trong khi tại người Anh thường dùng những từ đó ở thì hiện tại ho{n th{nh - the present perfect.
Ví dụ:
Người Mỹ nói: "I already had lunch." hay "She didn't arrive yet."
Người Anh nói: "I've already had lunch." hay...: "She hasn't arrived yet."
2. Cách nói giờ
Nếu muốn nói 2:45 - 2h45 tại Anh, chúng ta có thể nói:
"Quarter to three", hay 3:15 - 3h15 có thể nói "Quarter past three".
Trong khi đó, tại Mỹ, nói giờ như sau:
"Quarter of three" để chỉ 2:45, hay "Quarter after three" để chỉ 3:15.
3. Người Anh và người Mỹ cũng khác nhau trong cách nói:
_ GOOD: người Mỹ dùng good thay cho well, VD: I feel good (M) = I feel weel (A)
_ Người Anh dùng 'have got' hay 'has got' khi nói về sở hữu, trong khi người Mỹ thì thường hay
dùng 'have' hay 'has'.
Ví dụ, tiếng Anh Mỹ, chúng ta có thể nói: "I have a new car."
Còn trong tiếng Anh Anh thì thường l{: "I've got a new car."
(Về mặt nghĩa, hai c}u trên không kh|c nhau)
_ Dạng Past Participle của GET, người Mỹ dùng l{ GOT, còn người Anh dùng l{ GOTTEN.
_ Với động từ AIM, người Mỹ dùng cấu trúc “to aim to + V”, còn người anh dùng cấu trúc “to aim at
+ V ing”. Ví dụ: We aim to do something nice = We aim at doing something nice.

mixed with sand. Clay is collected from the river only once a year,

people try to take as much clay as they can to store, for use in the
entire year.

Currently, people in Bau True pottery village still make pottery items in the traditional way.
They do not use the wheel but the craftsmen have to turn around the products. The potters shape
their products by skillful hands and feet around a pole-round pillar, rather than on the wheel.
From this step, silky clay block initially gradually forms a smooth rounded hollow blocks, then the
formation of flower vases, or water pots.
Bau True’s craftsmen use wet cloths to make the product surface smooth. These items are
decorated with seashells, snails or hand-made paintings featuring the daily life of Bau True’s
people

through a hard time. Since 1986. thanks to economic reforms and development, more attention
has been paid to the village and the world gets a chance to know more about Vietnamese
porcelain through many high quality exported Bat Trang's ceramic products.
Bat Trang ceramics are produced for daily household use (bows. cups, plates, pots, bottles...),
worshipping, or decoration purposes. Nowadays, the pottery artists bring into ceramics many
innovations in production techniques, and creativity in products' features, so many new products
have been made, and even daily household items may have the beauty like decoration ones.
Visiting Bat Trang, tourists can visit Bat Trang Porcelain and Pottery Market where they can
directly make pottery products by themselves. Many youngsters and foreign tourists are
interested in this pottery-making experience, and spend a whole day in the market making a
souvenir for their families or friends.

B. It's great to know that you're coming to VietNam. What a pity you can only spend one day in Ha
Noi.
There are so many interesting places in the city, but I think within one day you should be
able to visit three places. The first place I suggest is VietNam National Museum of History. You
like history, so it's a must-see place. There's an extensive collection of artefacts tracing Viet Nam's
history. They’re arranged chronologically from primitive life to modern times. The second place is
Hoan Kiem Lake. It's one of the symbols of Ha Noi. There you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and
visit Ngoc Son Temple. You can also have a look at the Old Quarter. Wander around the old streets
and some ancient houses to explore Vietnamese culture. Conveniently, these places are close to one
another, so we can walk around easily.
When you come to my city, I'll be able to take you to this place. Bye for now,
Look forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes,
Thuc Anh
