B: GRAMMAR: Reported Speech (Câu tường thuật / Câu gián tiếp) : GV yêu cầu HS nghiên cứu 
trước ờ nhà.

Lý thuyết:

a.Nhìn chung thì câu nói gián tiếp là câu nói thể hiện lại đúng ý nghĩa của: câu nói trực tiếp (Direct
Speech) của ai đó mà ta nghe được; hành động trực tiếp của ai đó mà ta thấy được, cảm nhận được.
Cần nhớ rằng, lời nói tường thuật chủ yếu chú trọng vào ý nghĩa của lời nói trực tiếp chứ khơng

chú trọng vào một cách chính xác vào từng từ ngữ trong lời nói trực tiếp.

b.Nói cách khác, lời nói gián tiếp là câu tường thuật lại lời nói trực tiếp dưới một dạng khác, bao gồm
một số thay đổi về THÌ CỦA ĐỘNG TỪ, TRẠNG TỪ CHỈ NƠI CHỐN, THỜI GIAN (tùy
trường hợp) , thay đổi về NGÔI CỦA ĐẠI TỪ (theo quy tắc) và THẬM CHÍ CĨ THỂ THAY
ĐỔI VỀ CẤU TRÚC SO VỚI CÂU NÓI TRỰC TIẾP cho phù hợp với tình huống. Tuy nhiên, ý
nghĩa của câu nói trực tiếp vẫn được giữ nguyên.

c. Có 3 loại câu nói trực tiếp thường gặp nhất là: Câu mệnh lệnh (Command) , câu trình bày
( Statement) và câu hỏi (Question) .

d.Chú ý nguyên tắc đổi sau đây để đổi từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp thường gặp: Ta làm các
bước sau đây (Bước nào có thì đổi bước đó theo hướng dẫn, nếu bước nào khơng có thì bỏ qua:
 Bước thứ nhất: Đổi động từ giới thiệu (động từ ngồi dấu ngoặc) cho phù hợp với tình huống.

Ví dụ:

Câu trực tiếp Câu gián tiếp
say (to + O) , ask, tell,

</div>
(85)<div class='page_container' data-page=85>

xin) , insist (đòi nằng nặc) , invite (mời) , urge (thúc giục) ,

command (ra lệnh, yêu cầu) , say (nói) , shout (thét, la lớn) , warn

(cảnh báo) , cry (gào thét, khóc lóc) , whisper (thì thầm, nói nhỏ,
rỉ tai, thỏ thẻ) , yell (la ó) , …..

Được chia ở quá khứ

hoặc hiện tại Được chia ở quá khứ hoặc hiện tại tương ứng.

 Bước thứ hai: Đổi đại từ trong dấu ngoặc:

Bảng 2: Bảng đổi đại từ:

Hãy
xem
xét

trong câu mình phải đổi:

- Nếu đại từ trong dấu ngoặc THUỘC VỀ NGƠI THỨ NHẤT thì ta đổi theo CHỦ TỪ ĐỨNG
TRƯỚC ĐỘNG TỪ GIỚI THIỆU (ask,tell, asked, told, say, said, order, ordered, suggested, cried,
shouted, yelled, wanted to know,……)

- Nếu đại từ trong dấu ngoặc THUỘC VỀ NGƠI THỨ HAI thì ta đổi theo TÚC TỪ ĐỨNG SAU
ĐỘNG TỪ GIỚI THIỆU (ask,tell, asked, told,say, said, order, ordered, suggested, cried, shouted,
yelled, wanted to know, ……

- Nếu đại từ trong dấu ngoặc THUỘC VỀ NGÔI THỨ BA thì ta KHƠNG ĐỔI.

 Bước thứ ba: Đổi lùi thì của động từ trong dấu ngoặc nếu câu trực tiếp là câu trình bày hoặc câu 
hỏi và động từ giới thiệu ở quá khứ:

- Đổi động từ đầu tiên trong mỗi cụm động từ về quá khứ như:

 V1/s/es  V2/ed; WILL  WOULD; MAY  MIGHT; CAN  COULD; 
SHALL  SHOULD; HAVE/ HAS  HAD;...

 Đổi V2 /ed  HAD + V3 / ed.

 Đổi HAD + V3 / -ed  HAD + V3 / -ed

 Đổi MUST  MUST hoặc HAD TO
 Đổi COULD  COULD, …

Lưu ý: Nếu động từ trong câu trực tiếp ở thì quá khứ thì ta có thể đổi lùi thì thành q khứ hồn 
thành hoặc khơng cần đổi (tức vẫn để ở thì quá khứ) vẫn được. (Theo sách English Grammar Practice
With Answers –tác giả: John Eastwood- NXB: Oxford University Press)

Ví dụ: (Trích trong sách đã nêu)

1. “We came by car.”  They said they came by car. hoặc They had come by car.
2. “Sorry. I wasn’t listening!”  I admitted I wasn’t listening

hoặc I admitted I hadn’t been listening.

Lời khuyên dành cho học sinh: Các em nên làm bài theo cách đổi lùi thì quá khứ đơn thành quá khứ 
hoàn thành theo hướng dẫn của GV trên lớp.

 Bước thứ tư: Đổi các từ gần thành xa (từ chỉ nơi chốn, thời gian) :

Ngôi
thứ

Chủ từ
(Subjective

Pronoun)

Túc từ

(Objective
Pronoun)

Tính từ
 sở hữu
(Possessive

adjective)

Đại từ sở hữu
(Possessive

Pronoun)

Đại từ phản thân
(Reflexive Pronoun)

1st I me my mine myself

We us our ours ourselves

2nd You you your yours yourself (số ít)

yourselves (số nhiều)

3rd They them their theirs themselves

He him his his himself

She her her hers herself

Ghi chú: (*) Người ta không nói COME THERE (đi đến đó) hoặc GO HERE (đi đến đây) mà nói là 
COME HERE và GO THERE. Do đó, tác giả xin mạo muội đề xuất đổi như trên.

Đọc chơi cho dễ nhớ:

e. Cách biền đổi từ câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp thường gặp như sau:

</div>
(115)<div class='page_container' data-page=115>

S BE V3/ed …… (by + O)

Cách chuyển đổi qua lại thông thường giữa câu chủ động (Active Voice) và câu bị động (Passive Voice)
như sau:

Active Voice S V O …….

Passive Voice S BE + V3/ed

BỊ/ ĐƯỢC + LÀM ……. (by + O)

Như vậy, ta thấy rằng, muốn chuyển đổi qua lại giữa câu chủ động với câu bị động thơng thường, ta có 03
vị trí chính cần đổi là: Đổi qua lại giữa S thành (BY + ) O ; O thành S ; và V thành BE + V3/ed.

1: Hướng dẫn đổi qua lại giữa S và O:

Subject (S) Đổi qua lại thành Object (O) Subject (S) Đổi qua lại thành Object (O)

I Me He Him

We Us She Her

You You It It

They Them Danh từ Danh từ

who whom which which

Ghi nhớ:

Thứ nhất: Lược bỏ BY + O ở câu bị động khi O là các đối tượng mơ hồ, không quan trọng hoặc đã
quá rõ O trong BY + O là đối tượng nào rồi. Ví dụ O là ME, US, YOU, THEM, HIM, HER, PEOPLE,
SOMEONE, SOMEBODY, SOMETHING, ANYONE, ANYBODY, ANYTHING, NO ONE,
NOBODY, NOTHING, EVERYONE, EVERYBODY, EVERYTHING….

Thứ nhì: Thơng thường BY + O nằm cuối câu bị động.

Thứ ba: Trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn ĐẶT TRƯỚC BY + O trong câu bị động. 
Thứ tư: Trạng từ chỉ thời gian ĐẶT SAU BY + O trong câu bị động. 
2: Hướng dẫn đổi giữa V và BE + V3/ed từ câu chủ động sang câu bị động:

- Từ câu chủ động, ta đem đặt động từ BE vào vị trí ngay phía trước động từ chính (động từ chính

thường nằm ở vị trí cuối cùng trong mỗi cụm động từ) và động từ BE sẽ mang hình thức của động từ

chính. Cịn động từ chính phải chuyển sang V3 / -ed.

- Phải nhớ hòa hợp giữa chủ từ và động từ đầu tiên của cụm động từ ở câu bị động.
Ví dụ: (GV vừa cho các ví dụ, vừa giải thích dựa theo hướng dẫn trên)

1) Active voice: He has given five books to me.

Passive voice: Five books have been given to me (by him) .
Passive voice: I have been given five books (by him) .

Exercise 5: Hãy đọc đoạn văn và chọn một câu trả lời đúng nhất cho mỗi câu hỏi theo sau:

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives
people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their
exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the
morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm,
looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social
backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available.

A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government
help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young
people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ‘‘You learn to live with people and
respect them, even the ones you don’t like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn’t believe how
much less I argued with my sister”

To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods which really
seem to work.

1. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A. give an opinion about a particular student

B. give an opinion about a special type of education
C. describe the activities the students do in their free time
D. describe his own experience of education

2. What can a reader find out from this text?

A. How to become a student at Atlantic College
B. What kind of programme Atlantic College offers
C. What the British education system is like

Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you
feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not
really true. The more you prepare and practise, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as
much as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they
produce and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the
major competitors are”Practice makes perfect”. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So,
practise your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers
will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and
knowledge.

Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the
job. Your application or résumé has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show
how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and
listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in
addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your
strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener;
sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions

After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest
and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before
the hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the
employer within the specified time.

Exercise 6: Hãy đọc đoạn văn và chọn một câu trả lời đúng nhất cho mỗi câu hỏi theo sau:

In 1986 Vietnam launched a political and economic innovation campaign (Doi Moi) that introduced
reforms intended to facilitate the transition from a centralized economy to a “socialist-oriented market
economy”. Doi Moi combined government planning with free-market incentives. The program abolished
agricultural collectives, removed price controls on agricultural goods, and enabled farmers to sell their
goods in the marketplace. It encouraged the establishment of private businesses and foreign investment,
including foreign-owned enterprises.

By the late 1990s, the success of the business and agricultural reforms ushered in under Doi Moi was
evident. More than 30,000 private businesses had been created, and the economy was growing at an
annual rate of more than 7 percent. From the early 1990s to 2005, poverty declined from about 50 percent
to 29 percent of the population. However, progress varied geographically, with most prosperity
concentrated in urban areas, particularly in and around Ho Chi Minh City. In general, rural areas also
made progress, as rural housel olds living in poverty declined from 66 percent of the total in 1993to 36
percent in 2002. By contrast, concentrations of poverty remained in certain rural areas, particularly the
northwest, north-central coast, and central highlands.

Government control of the economy and a nonconvertible currency have protected Vietnam from
what could have been a more severe impact resulting from the East Asian financial crisis in 1997.

1. The Vietnamese Doi Moi campaign _______.

A. has not interfered with politics B. has focused on centralized economy.
C. is not in favour of socialism D. came into being in 1986

2. From the content of the text, the readers can learn that _______.
A. Vietnam used to have agricultural collectives

B. there used to be many foreign-owned enterprises before 1986 in Vietnam

C. before 1986, the Vietnamese government did not control prices on agricultural goods
D. The Vietnamese Doi Moi campaign has not allowed foreign-owned enterprises
3. Which rate has decreased?

A. Poverty B. Population C. Economy D. Business
4. The development in Vietnam _______.

A. has been equal in every part of the country
B. has focused only on agriculture

C. is more prosperous in big cities than that in the countryside
D. is more prosperous in the countryside than that in big cities
5. According to the last paragraph, _______.

Exercise 5: Hãy đọc đoạn văn và chọn MỘT câu trả lời đúng nhất cho mỗi câu hỏi theo sau:

In the future, maybe all cars that run on petrol will be replaced by solar cars, which have been around
for a while, but with recent developments in solar car design and the measurement of photovoltaic cells

becoming smaller, the dream of a truly efficient solar car is more reality than fantasy. A solar car is a
vehicle powered by photovoltaic cells, also called solar cells, which convert sunlight (light energy) into
electrical energy. As a source of energy on earth, there is nothing like the sun: in a mere one thousandth of
one second (0.001) , the sun emits enough energy to fulfill our planet’s energy needs for the next 5,000
years. It is a staggering fact, and an exciting one. Since the energy from the sun is responsible for
renewable resources such as wind, tides, and heat, solar energy seems to offer the brightest future for not
only cars, but for the entire energy crisis. Despite the appearance that solar energy may be the least
feasible among the current crop of alternative fuel propositions, new solar powered devices and more
specifically solar powered cars are beginning to be developed. How do Solar Cars work?
