     MANDI’S MAKING FRIENDS

   My name’s Mandi. Three months ago, I went to disco where I met a boy called Tom. I guessed he was older than me, but I liked him and thought it didn’t matter. We danced a couple of times, then we chatted. He said he was 18, then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I thought that if I told him my real age, he wouldn’t want to know me, as I’m only 13.

    After the dicso we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next Saturday we went for a burger and had a real laugh. Afterwards he walked me to my street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a couple of times a week, but I’ve had to lie to my parents about where I’m going and who with. I’ve always got on with them, but I know if they found out how Tom was they’d stop me seeing him.

     Now I really don’t know what to do. I can’t go on lying to my parents every time I go out, and Ton keeps asking he can’t come around to my house. I’m really worried and I need some advice.

     C. She’s not allowed to go to disco.                                  D. Her parents are angry with her.

31) Why can’t Tom come to Mandi’s house?

      A. She doesn’t want her parents to meet him.                  B. Her parents don’t like him.

      C. He’s nervous of meeting her parents.                          D. She doesn’t want him to see where she lives.

32) Which of these answers did Mandi receive?

     A. Tell me what you really feel.                            B. You must start by being honest with everyone.

2. INFINITIVE OR GERUND (To-inf / V-ing)

a. Không thay đổi nghĩa:

- begin / start / continue/ like / love + To-inf / V-ing

Ex: It started to rain / raining.

b. Thay đổi nghĩa:

+ remember / forget / regret + V-ing: nhớ / quên/ nuối tiếc việc đã xảy ra rồi (trong quá khứ)

+ remember / forget / regret + to-inf: nhớ / quên/ nuối tiếc việc chưa, sắp xảy ra (trong tương lai)

Ex: Don’t forget to turn off the light when you go to bed.

      I remember meeting you some where but I can’t know your name.

      Remember to send her some flowers because today is her birthday.

+ stop + V-ing: dừng hẳn việc gì

+ stop + to-inf: dừng ….. để …

Ex: He stopped smoking because it is harmful for his health.

      On the way home, I stopped at the post office to buy a newspaper.

+ try + V-ing: thử

+ try + to-inf: cố gắng

+ need + V-ing = need + to be + V3: cần được (bị động)

+ need + to-inf: cần (chủ động)

Ex: I need to wash my car.

      My car is very dirty. It needs washing / to be washed.

+ Cấu trúc nhờ vả:

S + have + O người + V1 + O vật ...

S + have + O vật + V3/-ed + (by + O người) ...

S + get + O người + to-inf + O vật

S + get + O vật + V3/-ed + (by + O người)

3. Passive infinitive (to be + V3/ed)

Dùng với nghĩa bị động. Khi làm bài, cần lưu ý nghĩa của câu là chủ động (V + to V) hay bị động (V + to be + V3/ed).

Ex: They want to be invited to the party. (Họ muốn được mời dự tiệc.)

 SAI: They want to invite to the party

Câu này SAI vì người đọc không rõ họ muốn mời ai. Trong câu trên, họ được mời (= ai đó mời họ), nghĩa đã rõ ràng.

4. Passive gerund (being + V3/ed)

Dùng với nghĩa bị động. Khi làm bài, cần lưu ý nghĩa của câu là chủ động (V + V-ing) hay bị động (V+being+ V3/ed).

Ex: I disliked being taken to the zoo when I was a child.

(Khi còn nhỏ, tôi không thích được dẫn đi vườn bách thú.)

SAI: I disliked taking to the zoo when I was a child.

(Khi còn nhỏ, tôi không thích dẫn đi vườn bách thú.)

PREPARING A DINNER PARTY

     Giving a dinner party is a wonderful way of entertain people. You can also make new friends and give others the chance to get to know each other better.

     It needs planning, though. First, make a guest list, with different kinds of people and a mixture of women and men. Don’t invite couples because they aren’t so much fun.

     When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious seasons.

      Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favourite drinks.

     The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can help you carry it!

     On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time – you’ve earned it!

28) Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the purpose of giving a dinner party?

            A. to entertain people.                       

            B. to make new friends.

            C. to get people to know more about their host and hostess.

            D. to help people to know each other better.

29) when giving a dinner party, you should NOT invite ........................ .

     A. husbands and wives.                                         B. those who are vegetarians.

     C. both women and men.                                       D. those who can’t eat or drink certain things.

30) The menu should include these EXCEPT ..........................

     A. a first course     B. a supper      C. a dessert     D. main courses

31) According to the passage, starters should be served ...........................

     A. because the guests want to have a good time together

     B. because the guests like eating them

     C. because the guests want to eat them while having to wait

     D. because the guests may be hungry while having to wait

32) What should you do while the guests are having their evening meal?

     A. Stand beside the guests without doing anything. 

     B. Sit down with the guests and have a good time.

     C. Sit down with the guests to show your politeness. 

     D. Only serve the guests with the food.

D. WRITING

Put the verbs in parentheses into the correct form.

    1) I don’t remember (tell) ............................ of the decision to change the company policy on vacations.

    2) Ms Drake expects (consult) ........................... about any revisions in her manuscript before it is printed.

    3) Sally gave a good speech that I couldn’t insist (applaud) .................... loudly when she finished.

    4) Tommy admitted (throw) ...................... the rock through the window.

    5) Paul really didn’t mind (surprise) .............................. by the party to celebrate this fortieth birthday.

    6) Anne hoped (invite) ............................. to join the private club.

    7) Most people enjoy (travel) ........................... to different parts of the world.

    8) May I change the TV channel, or do you want (watch) ....................... more of this programme?

UNIT 4: VOLUNTEER WORK

 

THEORY:

1. GERUND

A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding “-ing”. The gerund always has the same function as a noun (although it looks like a verb), so it can be used:

a. as the subject of the sentence:

* Reading helps you learn English.

b. as the complement of the verb “to be”:

* Her favorite hobby is reading.

c. after prepositions. The gerund must be used when a verb comes after a preposition:

* She is good at learning E

* They are keen on windsurfing.

This is also true of certain expressions ending in a preposition, e.g. in spite of , there’s no point in ... :

* There’s no point in typing the assignment.

* In spite of missing the train, we arrived on time.

d. after a number of “phrasal verbs” which are composed os a verb + preposition /adverb

Example:

To look forward to, to give up, to be for/ against, to take to, to put off, to keep on:

* I look forward to hearing from you soon. (at the end of a letter)

* He kept on asking for a discount.

e. in compound nouns

Example:

* a driving lesson, a swimming pool, bird-watching, train-spotting

It is clear that the meaning is that of a noun, not of a continuous verb.

Example:

* the pool isn’t swimming, it is pool for swimming in .

f. after the expressions

can’t help, can’t stand, it’s no use, good, and the adjective worth:

* I can’t stand being stuck in traffic jams.

* It’s no use/good trying to persuade him

* It might be worth changing the title of the book.

2. PRESENT PARTICIPLE

The present participle of most verbs has the form V-ing and is used in the following ways:

a) as part of the continuous form of a verb

Example:

* I am working .

* She was dancing.

b) after verbs of movement / position in the pattern: verb + present participle

Example:

* My mother used to go shopping everyday.

* He came running towards me.

This construction is particularly useful with the verb ‘to go’, such as go diving, go fishing, go swimming...

c)After verbs of perception in the pattern : verb + O +present participle

Example:

* I heard someone playing the guitar.

* I can smell something burning!

Note: There is a difference in meaning when such a sentence contains a bare-infinitive rather than a participle. The infinitive refers to a complete action, but the participle refers to an incomplete action, or part of an action.

Compare:

* I heard Mai playing the piano.(= she had started before I heard her, and probably went on afterwards)

* I heard Mai play the piano. (= I heard her complete performance)

d) as an adjective

Example:

* It was an interesting film.

* It’s a bit worrying when the police stop you.

e) with the verbs spend and waste, in thepattern: verb + time/money expression + present participle

Example:

* I spend 2 hours a day travelling to work.

* Don’t waste time playing computer games !

* They’ve spent $4,000 buying that watch.

f) with the verbs catch and find, in the pattern: verb + O + present participle:

With catch, the participle always refers to an action which causes annoyance or anger:

* If I catch you stealing my apples again, I’ll tell your parents.

This is not the case with find, which is unemotional:

* We found our dog lying in the bedroom.

* They found their mother sitting in the garden.

g) to replace a sentence or part of a sentence:

When 2 actions occur at the same time, and are done by the same person or thing, we can use a present participle to describe one of them:

* He sang to himself. He walked down the road.

Singing to himself, he walked down the road.

When one action follows very quickly after another done by the same person or thing, we can express the first action with a present participle:

* He put on his coat and left the house.  Putting on his coat, he left the house.

The present participle can be used instead of a phrase starting as, since, because, and it explains the cause or reason for an action:

* Feeling tired, he went to bed early (= because he felt tired...)

* Knowing that she likes roses, he gave her a bunch of red roses on her birthday.

3. PERFECT GERUND

- Form: having + p2 (having seen, having worked...)

- Use:

+ The perfect gerund can be used instead of the present form of the gerund when we are referring to a past action.

Example:

He was accused of deserting his ship = He was accused of having deserted his ship.

However, the perfect gerund is used to emphasize completion in both the past and the future.

Example:

The retired teacher recalled having taught.

4. PERFECT PARTICIPLE

- Form: having + p2(having done, having read ...)

- Use:

+ The perfect participle can be used instead of the present participle when one action is immediately followed by another with the same subject.

Example:

Switching off the lights, we went to bed = Having switched off the lights, we went to bed.

+ The perfect participle emphasizes that the first action is complete before the second one starts.

Example:

She bought a bike and cycled home. – Having bought a bike, she cycled home.

+ The perfect participle is, however, necessary when there is an interval of time between the 2 actions.

Example:

Having failed twice , he didn’t want to try again

+ It is also used when the frist action covered a period of time

Example :

He had been living trere for such a long time that the didn’t want to move to another town – Having lived there for such a long time , he didn’t want to move to another town

C. READING: Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

            Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, many coaches believe that it is possible for anyone who is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win. More important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barries. For example, ambitious recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run under 3 hours. Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them " sub-3:30h marathoners ", instead of 3:30:01.

            For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training, adequate recovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a kreak for a couple of days or more to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk of injury.

1. Marathon completion is ______________ .

C. READING

Read the passage and choose one correct answer for each question.

     The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups.

     The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the total number of American households is single people, usually women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answers to the questions from questions 28 to 32:

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection. Friends will welcome each other"s company and exhibit loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behaviour, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours.

Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis: the tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults  of one"s counterpart mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations.

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday in November. For many Americans it is the most important holiday apart from Christmas. Schools, offices and most businesses close for Thanksgiving, and many people make the whole weekend a vacation.

Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to North America. In 1620 the ship the Mayflowers arrived, bringing about 150 people who today are usually called Pilgrims. They arrived at the beginning of a very hard winter and could not find enough to eat, so many of them died. But in the following summer Native Americans showed them what foods were safe to eat, so that they could save food for the next winter. They held a big celebration to thank God and the Native Americans for the fact that they had survived.

Today people celebrate Thanksgiving to remember these early days.

The most important part of the celebration is a traditional dinner with foods that come from North America. The meal includes turkey, sweet potatoes (also called yams) and cranberries, which are made into a kind of sauce or jelly. The turkey is filled with stuffing or dressing, and many families have their own special recipe. Dessert is pumpkin made into a pie.

On Thanksgiving there are special television programs and sports events. In New York there is the Macy"s Thanksgiving Day Parade, when a long line of people wearing fancy costumes march through the streets with large balloons in the shape of imaginary characters. Thanksgiving is considered the beginning of the Christmas period, and the next day many people go out to shop for Christmas presents.
