UNIT 5: MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ (RELATIVE CLAUSES) ( mệnh đề tĩnh từ) Mệnh đề tĩnh từ là mệnh đề (gồm S và V) có chức năng như tĩnh từ (bổ nghĩa cho danh từ). Ex :The pen which I bought yesterday is very cheap (Caây vieát maø toâi mua hoâm qua thì raát reû.) “The pen is very cheap” là mệnh đề chính, “which I bought yesterday” là mệnh đề tĩnh từ bổ nghĩa cho từ “the pen”.  Mệnh đề tĩnh từ bắt đầu bằng : + Đại từ quan hệ : who, whom, which, that, whose + Trạng từ quan hệ : where, when, why . A/ MỆNH ĐỀ TĨNH TỪ GIỚI HẠN. I/ Who, that, which, where … làm chủ từ. Các từ quan hệ này thay cho chủ từ trong mệnh đề phụ nên có vai trò là chủ từ. Ex: I like the book. It is on the table. Từ “ the book” và “it” là một nên dùng đại từ quan hệ “which” thay cho “it” để nối 2 câu đó lại. I like the book which is on the table. s v  Mệnh đề tĩnh từ bổ nghĩa ch o từ nào thì phải đứng ngay sau từ đó. Ex : a. The girl is nice. She often visits me. The girl who often visits me is nice. (cô gái mà thường thăm tôi thì tốt) b. The man is very kind. His son is my friend. The man whose son is my friend is very kind. (người đàn ông mà con trai ông ta là bạn tôi thì rất tốt).  Notes: who,whom : dùng cho người Which : duøng cho vaät Where : chæ nôi choán What When : chỉ thời gian Why : chæ nguyeân nhaân  Cách đổi chung : + Xem 2 câu có từ nào chung + Thế từ quan hệ cho từ phái sinh + Đem mệnh đề quan hệ tới xác từ nó bổ nghĩa.. II/ whom, that which … làm túc từ Các từ quan hệ này thay cho túc từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ nên có chức năng là túc từ.ø Ex: a. The girl is his sister. You met her yesterday. The girl whom you met yesterday is his sister..

(28) Từ “the girl” và “her” là một nên dùng đại từ whom thay cho “her”. “her” là túc từ nên “whom “ là túc từ. b. The pen is expensive. I bought it last week. The pen which I bought last week is expensive. Từ “the pen” và “it” là 1 nên dùng đại từ “which” thay cho “it” và có chức năng là túc từ. III/ “Whom, which” theo sau giới từ. Động từ ở mệnh đề phụ có giới từ thì ta đưa giới từ ra trước đại từ quan hệ. (That, who không thay thế cho whom which được.) Ex: a. The man is a doctor. You were talking to him. The man to whom you were talking is the doctor. b. The picture is very expensive. You were looking at it. The picture at which you were looking is very expensive. NOTES: The man to who you talked is nice.(sai) The man to that you talked is nice.(sai) The man to whom you talked is nice.(đúng )  Trong vaên noùi coù theå vieát : The man that / who you talked to is nice.  Trong trường hợp này các đại từ có thể bỏ. Ex: a. The pen I bought yesterday is cheap. b. The man you talked to is nice. B/ MỆNH ĐỀ TĨNH TỪ KHÔNG GIƠIÙ HẠN. + mệnh đề tĩnh từ giới hạn : là mệnh đề có chức năng hạn định lại danh từ làm rỏ nghĩa cho danh từ trước nó, nếu không có nó sẽ không rỏ ý. + Mệnh đề tĩnh từ không giơiù hạn : là mệnh đề không hạn định lại, không làm rỏ nghĩa cho danh từ trước nómà chỉ thêm một ít chi tiết màthôi. Ex: a. The pen which is on the table is nice. b. Her father, whose is a doctor, is kind. + Câu 1 là mệnh đề có giới hạn vì mệnh đề “ which is on the table” làm rõ nghĩa từ” the pen” là cây viết trên bàn chứ không phải cây viết khác, nếu bỏ đi là không hiểu cây viết nào. + Câu 2 là mệnh đề không giớ hạn, vì mệnh đề tĩnh từ “who is a doctor” không là rõ nghĩa cho “her father”, nó đã rõ ràng rồi. Mệnh đề này chỉ thêm chi tiết : cha của cô ấy là một bác sỹ.  Mệnh đề tĩnh từ không giơiù hạn được ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính bởi 1 hoặc 2 dấu phẩy.

(88) By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase their children's language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase. A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggy doing?" rather than, "Is the doggy running away?" Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their children's answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

A. adopting B. responding to C. experimenting D. reading to Question 7: What does the word "they" in the second paragraph refer to? A. Participants. B. Questions. C. Children. D. Parents. Question 8: During the training session, experimental parents were taught to _____.

A. The training that parents received. B. The books that were read. C. The age of the children. D. The number of participants. Question 10: What conclusion can be drawn from this passage? A. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don't. B. Children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively. C. Two or three-year-old children can be taught to read actively. D. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.

A B C D Read the following passage adapted from Pre-Essence Reading 1 by Rachel Lee, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37. BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries. If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude. In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom. In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude. In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture. Question 33: It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures ______. A. are not used to communicate our feelings B. may mean different things in different countries C. can be used to greet each other in public D. are used in greeting among men and women Question 34: People nod their head to say no in ______.
