LESSON 2: TÍNH TỪ
1. Chức năng bổ nghĩa : bổ nghĩa cho danh từ
2. Vị trí:
Đứng trƣớc danh từ
Các tính từ chỉ phẩm chất đứng trƣớc danh từ hoặc sau 1 số động từ nối sau:
Be, become, get, grow
appear, seem
make, keep
nhóm các động từ chỉ cảm giác (look, feel, taste, touch, hear, …)
Paint + O + adj (sơn…thành màu gì)
Turn + O ( biến thành…)
3. Thứ tự của các tính từ:
Quy tắc :OSACOMA (O: opinion, S: shape, A: age, C: colour, O: origin, M:
material, A: aim)
a long black hair, a black leather handbag
4. Một số tiền tố, hậu tố tạo thành tính từ
Tiền tố: un, dis, in, il, ir : thêm vào trƣớc 1 số tính từ để tạo thành từ trái nghĩa
Hậu tố:
_less(tính từ trái nghĩa) ><_ful: careful >< careless, hopeful><hopeless
_like: (giống…) : childlike (ngây thơ)
_ish (thêm vào danh từ chỉ màu sắc tạo thành tính từ láy): redish, blackish
_ing/_ed: good looking, interesting, amazing, disappointing,…
_able/ ible( tính từ mang nghĩa có thể…) : drinkable,eatable, sensible (có
cảm giác), …
_ous: danger => dangerous, courage => courageous
28 | P A L E n g l i s h c e n t e r
LESSON 3: TRẠNG TỪ
I. LECTURE
1. Phân loại,vị trí:
Trạng từ chỉ cách thức: happily, fast, quickly,well, badly,…: thƣờng đứng sau
động từ
Trạng từ chỉ nơi chốn: here, there, on, in, near, beside ,…
Note: The bus is coming here nhưng Here is coming the bus
Nếu here/ there đứng đầu câu thì thực hiện đảo ngữ (đảo động từ lên trƣớc
chủ ngữ)
Trạng từ chỉ thời gian: now, then, today, soon, later, last…: thƣờng đứng cuối câu
Trạng từ chỉ tần suất: always, usually ,often, sometimes, rarely ,seldom, …: đứng
trƣớc động từ thƣờng và sau tobe
Trạng từ chỉ mức độ: very, rather, quite, fairly, a bit, pretty, little, much,…
2. Cách thành lập:
Các trạng từ chỉ tính cách: adv = adj + ly
Tận cùng là “e” => thêm “ly” bình thƣờng trừ: truly, wholly, duly
Tận cùng bằng able/ible => ably/ibly
Một số tính từ và trạng từ cùng dạng:
Early, enough, far, fast, hard, high, ill, just, late, little, long, short,straight, much,
near, pretty, well, wrong, right
Tuy nhiên có 1 số từ vừa là adj, vừa là adv nhƣng khi thêm “ly” tạo
thành nghĩa bóng: coldly, warmly, nearly, lately, …
Một số tính từ không thể thêm “ly” để tạo thành trạng từ, ta dùng:
In + a/an + adj + way
Eg: She behaves in a diferrent way
3. Chức năng bổ nghĩa:
Đứng đầu câu nhằm mục đích chuyển ý, chuyển đoạn:
Actually, really, in fact, certainly, surely, obviously, perhaps, luckily,
fortunately,officially,…
Bổ nghĩa cho động từ (trạng từ chỉ cách thức): she sings beautifully
Bổ nghĩa cho tính từ, hoặc 1 trạng từ khác (trạng từ chỉ mức độ): very,
quite, rather, …
Chú ý: 2 Trạng từ: RATHER and QUITE
Quite: dùng với tính từ mang hàm nghĩa tích cực:
Nếu sử dụng danh từ ghép vs quite: quite + a/an + adj + N
Rather: dùng với tính từ mang hàm nghĩa tiêu cực

Những nguyên tắc cần thiết trong khi luyện tập nói Tiếng Anh:
1. TỰ TIN Đây là điều quan trọng nhất
2. Phóng đại trong khi luyện tập.
3. Chăm chỉ luyện tập thƣờng xuyên.
4. Bắt đầu luyện tập phát âm chậm, chính xác, sau đó luyện nhanh dần đều, âm
sẽ tự nhiên và chuẩn.
5. Phát âm mạnh và rõ các âm cuối (cuối từ, cuối câu).
Những yếu tố cần nắm vững để có thể giao tiếp tốt Tiếng Anh:
1. Trọng âm của từ và câu (đôi khi phát âm có thể không chính xác nhƣng trọng
âm chính xác ngƣời nghe vẫn có thể đoán và hiểu đƣợc).
2. Từ vựng: từ, thành ngữ, tiếng lóng, ...
3. Âm chuẩn: trong giáo trình này, âm đƣợc hƣớng dẫn theo giọng Anh Mỹ.
CÁC ÂM TRONG TIẾNG ANH
79 | P A L E n g l i s h c e n t e r
LESSON 1:
Vowel : /˄/, /ǝ/, /ɜ:/
Consonant: /s/, /z/
Alphabet, numbers, ordinal numbers.
Topic: Say hello
Topic: Introduce yourself
- How to spell your name, read your phone number and your email.
- Vocabulary: Names of some universities, names of some jobs.
I. PRONUNCIATION
1. Giới thiệu chung về âm trong tiếng Anh:
Âm vô thanh và âm hữu thanh:
- Âm vô thanh (unvoiced): là những âm không làm cổ họng rung.
- Âm hữu thanh (voiced): là những âm làm cổ họng rung.
Các nguyên âm đều là âm hữu thanh, các phụ âm sẽ đƣợc chia
theo cặp, hai âm có khẩu hình tƣơng tự nhau nhƣng một âm là vô thanh, một
âm là hữu thanh.
Âm dài và âm ngắn: - Trong tiếng Anh, các nguyên âm thƣờng đƣợc chia thành cặp hai âm,
gồm 1 âm dài và 1 âm ngắn. Tuy nhiên, dài ngắn ở đây ít chính xác khi nói về
trƣờng độ (độ dài) của âm, vì trong khi nói, ta khó mà tập trung để xác định dồn hơi
thế nào là dài, thế nào là ngắn.
Trong âm Anh Mỹ, thƣờng có sự biến âm để phân biệt dài ngắn, khi
học cần chú ý điều này, nó hữu dụng trong cả nghe và nói tiếng Anh.
Khẩu hình miệng: Có 3 loại khẩu hình miệng cần chú ý: Kiss, Relax và Smile.
2. Vowel : /˄/, /ǝ/, /ɜ:/
- /˄/: mạnh
Cut /k˄t/ Nothing /ˈnʌθɪŋ/ Bus /b˄s/
Shut up! /ʃ˄t ˄p/ But /b˄t/ Money /'mʌni/
- /ǝ/: yếu
About / ǝ‟bɑƱt/ Teacher /ti:ʧǝ(r)/ Of /ǝv/
Open /ˈəʊpən/ Banana /bəˈnænə/ Sofa /səʊˈfə/
- /ɜ:/: dài
work /wɜːrk/ first /fɜːrst/ verb /vɜːrb/
80 | P A L E n g l i s h c e n t e r
thirty /ˈθɜːrti/ bird /bɜːrd/ early /ˈɜːrli/
3. Consonant: /s/; /z/
- Cách phát âm:
Six /sɪks/ Class /klæs/ Pencil /'pensl/
Star /stɑːr/ City /ˈsɪti/ Science /ˈsaɪəns/
Zoo /zuː/ Cause /kɔːz/ Music /'mjuːzɪk/
Rose /rəʊz/ zero /ˈzɪrəʊ/ Example /ɪɡˈzæmpl/
- Phát âm đuôi s, es:
+ Những từ kết thúc bằng các âm /ʃ/, /ʒ/; /ʧ/; /ʤ/; /s/; /z/: đuôi es
đọc là /iz/.
+ Những từ kết thúc bằng các âm vô thanh /t/, /p/, /k/, /f/: đuôi s
đọc là /s/.
+ Những từ còn lại, đuôi s, es đọc là /z/

2. Number
Cách đọc số điện thoại
Cách đọc số có 3 chữ số trở lên: cơ bản giống tiếng Việt, bạn có thể dịch
word by word, nhƣng nhớ thêm từ “and” trƣớc khi đọc 2 số cuối cùng Ex:+ 1024 (Một nghìn không trăm hai mƣơi tƣ): Một nghìn là “one thousand”, không
trăm – bỏ qua, hai mƣơi tƣ là “twenty-four”
=> 1024 = One thousand and twenty four
+ 2467 (Hai nghìn bốn trăm sáu mƣơi bảy): Hai nghìn là “two thousand”, bốn trăm là
“four hundred”, sáu mƣơi bảy là “sixty-seven”
2467 = two thousand, four hundred and sixty seven.
3. Ordinal number
1st First 11th Eleventh 21 st twenty-first 31th thirty-first

9th Ninth 19th Nineteenth 29 th twenty-ninth 1,000th one thousandth
10th Tenth 20th Twentieth 30 th Thirtieth 1,000,000th one millionth
Cách chuyển số đếm sang số thứ tự trong tiếng anh * Chỉ cần thêm TH đằng sau số đếm là bạn đã chuyển nó thành số thứ tự. Với số tận
cùng bằng Y, phải đổi Y thành I rồi mới thêm TH
82 | P A L E n g l i s h c e n t e r
-VD: four --> fourth, eleven --> eleventh
Twenty-->twentieth
Ngoại lệ:
one – first
two - second
three - third
five – fifth
eight - eighth
nine - ninth
twelve – twelfth
* Khi số kết hợp nhiều hàng, chỉ cần thêm TH ở số cuối cùng, nếu số cuối cùng nằm
trong danh sách ngoài lệ trên thì dùng theo danh sách đó. VD:
5,111th = five thousand, one hundred and eleventh
421st = four hundred and twenty-first
* Khi muốn viết số ra chữ số ( viết nhƣ số đếm nhƣng đằng sau cùng thêm TH hoặc
ST với số thứ tự 1, ND với số thứ tự 2, RD với số thứ tự 3) VD:
first = 1st
second = 2nd
third = 3rd
fourth = 4th
twenty-sixth = 26th
hundred and first = 101st
* Danh hiệu của vua, hoàng hậu nƣớc ngoài thƣờng khi viết viết tên và số thứ tự bằng số La
Mã, khi đọc thì thêm THE trƣớc số thứ tự. VD:
Viết : Charles II - Đọc: Charles the Second
Viết: Edward VI - Đọc: Edward the Sixth
Viết: Henry VIII - Đọc: Henry the Eighth

Exercise: Describing a film
Example:In the following text, Simon and Rebecca are talking about and
giving their opinions about the film 'Saving Private Ryan'.
From the context, try to guess what the meaning of the words/phrases
in bold are. Then do the quiz at the end to check if you are right.
- Rebecca: 'One of my favourite films is Saving Private Ryan. I know
it's a war film, but I love it.'
- Simon: 'It's a classic. It's got a brilliant cast, there are so many
excellent actors in it like Matt Damon, Vin Diesel etc... And of course, there is Tom
Hanks as the main character Captain Miller. It's one of his best films.'
- Rebecca: 'Plus there are some very good cameo roles. The famous
actor Ted Dansen is in the film for about 3 minutes. It's a shame that he wasn't in
the film for longer. Also, do you know that although the film is set in France during
the D-Day invasion, it was actually filmed in the south of England?'
137 | P A L E n g l i s h c e n t e r
- Simon: 'Yeah, I read it somewhere. I think it was one of the best
films directed by Steven Spielberg. I love the opening scene when they are landing
on the beach on D-Day. That scene has some of the best twenty minutes of action in
the whole history of cinema for me. The special effects are excellent, with the
explosions and the people being blown up. It looks so real.'
- Rebecca: 'It's an excellent scene, I always remember the stunt of the
men on fire. But for me, I like the scene when the men are walking in the
countryside and talking about why they have to save Private Ryan. The dialogue is
excellent, I can imagine that I would say that if I were in a similar situation.'
- Simon: 'The film has an excellent plot. How they have to go and save
a soldier whose 3 brothers have all died fighting and how they have to go behind
enemy lines to do it.'
- Rebecca: 'I think it's a real story, although they probably changed
some things. To be honest, I can't remember the film's score. Can you remember
the music in the film?'
- Simon: 'Not really. I think there was some music with trumpets at the
beginning in the graveyard. But apart from that, I only remember the Edith Piaf
song at the end. But that's not part of the score. Did I tell you that when the
film came out in 1998, I was living in Madrid? So, the first time I saw it, it
was dubbed into Spanish. I didn't speak much Spanish then, so I didn't understand
a lot. It's a shame that it didn't have subtitles, so I could have read the dialogue.'
- Rebecca: 'Dubbed films are strange. The voices are always very
different to the original voices of the actors. Oh, by the way, have you seen the TV
series Band of Brothers?'
- Simon: 'No I haven't.'
- Rebecca: 'Well, it's very similar to Saving Private Ryan. It's set
during the second world war and it follows a group of American soldiers. It stars a
lot of unknown young actors as the soldiers.'
- Simon: 'I'll have to watch the series.'
