(Tôi đưa con chó của tôi đến bác sĩ thú y vì nó đang ốm.) ⇨ Mệnh đề chính: “I took my dog to the vet, mệnh đề phụ:” he was feeling sick” bổ nghĩa lý do tại sao” tôi” phải đưa chó của mình đi khám.” Ex2: After Mary ate snacks, she got a stomachache. ( Sau khi Mary ăn vặt, cô ấy đã bị đau bụng.) ⇨ Mệnh đề chính:” She got a stomachache”, mệnh đề phụ:” Mary ate snack” đã bổ nghĩa lý do tại sao” cô ấy đau bụng.” 2. An adverb clause ( mệnh đề trạng ngữ) a. Định nghĩa: Là mệnh đề có chức năng ngữ pháp của một trạng ngữ (bổ nghĩa cho một mệnh đề khác).

( Khi tôi học xong, tôi sẽ ra nước ngoài.) ⇨ Nếu chỉ để mệnh đề trạng ngữ” When I finish studying”, thì câu sẽ không rõ nghĩa. 3. An adverb clause of time (Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian)
• 4. là những mệnh đề bắt đầu bởi các liên từ chỉ thời gian như: while (trong khi, trong lúc), when (vào lúc, khi), one, as soon as (ngay khi mà), till, until (cho đến khi), by the time, before (trước khi), after (sau khi), since (kể từ khi), as long as, so long as ( chừng nào mà),… b.

Vị trí của mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian. - Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian có thể được đặt ở đầu câu hoặc cuối câu. Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian đặt đầu câu sẽ được ngăn cách với mệnh đề chính bằng dấu phẩy. Ex1: When Jennie was in Paris, she attended Paris Fashion Week. (Khi Jennie đến Paris, cô ấy đã tham dự Tuần Lễ Thời Trang Paris.) Ex2: He’ll wait here until she comes back. ( Anh ấy sẽ đợi ở đây cho đến khi cô ấy quay lại.) d.

Some of them are water pollution, air pollution, land pollution, and noise pollution. It’s a universal problem. This problem can only be solved when everybody makes an effort to do it. There are various things we can do to make our environment better. The simplest thing is to put rubbish into dustbins instead of littering the streets. We can reduce our daily waste too, and reduce the amount of water and electricity we use. We should think of ways to reuse objects like bottles, cans, and paper. A plastic bottle will take more than 500 years to decompose. So instead of throwing it away after you finish your drink, you can keep it in the kitchen for containing water, or in the garden for growing flowers. With some colourful paper and oil paint, you can also make beautiful toys from them. We can also collect recyclable objects and donate them for recycling. Each one of us should act environmentally friendly so that others will follow us. Public places like parks, schools, train stations, ... will get cleaner if we start acting now. 1. Pollution comes in ________ forms. A. just one B. various C. only four D. similar 2. To help make our planet Earth a better place, we need ________ effort. A. individual’s B. enormous C. the government’s D. collective 3. Plastic bottles and cans take ________ to go. A. tens of years B. a few years C. hundreds of years D. a century 4. When people act environmentally friendly, others will ________ them. A. protect B. follow C. praise D. look at 5. This passage is concerned with ________. A. recycling C. the environment B. water pollution D. environment protection Exercise 8.Read the text then choose the best answer. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION In recent years the problem of environmental pollution has become a serious problem in big cities in our country. So, what are reasons and possible measures for this problem? Nowadays, we are living in a city with high population density, so domestic waste is the first reason. Then many people's social consciousness is not high. In several areas, they throw rubbish on streets, canals and rivers. It is easy for us to see rubbish of all kinds floating on the water. Moreover, uncultured people even pee in the public place. Now, let's come to other reasons. Our city is overloaded with vehicles that expel a lot of smoke and dust. This contributes to the heat of the air, and causes pollution. . 34 Besides that, in several places, trees have been cut down to have room for buildings, hotels, or supermarkets. This makes the atmosphere in our city mug and stuffy. New words: muggy (adi) nồm ẩm, oi bức stuffy (adi) ngột ngạt 1. What is not the reasons of environmental pollution? A. high population density C. domestic waste B. smoke and dust from vehicles D. the new drainage system 2. What is the first reason of environmental pollution? A. domestic waste C. population density B. smoke and dust from vehicles D. rubbish on streets 3. What is the synonym of the word "consciousness"? A. awareness B. unculture C. unconsciousness D. awakenes 4. Why vehicles cause air pollution? A. Vehicles make the atmosphere in our city muggy and stuffy. B. Because they expel a lot of smoke and dust. C. Because they consume too much gasoline. D. Because many people use motorbikes and cars nowadays. 5. How is the drain system in our city? A. It’s very modern. C. it is new B. It's downgrade. D. It is very old and downgrade Exercise 9. Read the text, and mark the sentences true (T), or false (F). Switch to Green In Australia it is now illegal to use traditional light bulbs. The whole country is changing to low energy bulbs for their lights. This will reduce the amount of energy that each home uses and will obviously be better for the environment. And Australia is not the only country doing this. Will your country be next? So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using the new low energy bulbs? Of course, the main advantage is for the environment. If all houses in Viet Nam used these bulbs, the effects on the environment would be the same as taking three quarters of a million cars off the road. Cost is another advantage. If we changed all the bulbs in our houses, we could cut our energy bills by fifty percent. There are a few disadvantages, however. The light that these bulbs give is not exactly the same as light from traditional bulbs. It’s colder and whiter. Some people don’t like it very much. Also, the light doesn’t come on immediately. After switching on the light you have to wait a short time. Another disadvantage for some people is that at the moment you can’t make these bulbs give a stronger or weaker light by using a special switch. But scientists say this will soon be possible. But if we can help the environment by using these bulbs, are the disadvantages really such a problem?
• 19. you can choose which bulbs to use. ______ 2. It’s expensive to use low energy bulbs. ______ 3. It takes longer for the light to come on. ______ 4. The light from these bulbs is quite weak. ______ 5. The light from traditional bulbs is different. ______ Exercise 10.Read the passage and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). There are many causes that lead to water pollution. One main cause of this issue is waste water coming from many factories and then being directly pulled out into water bodies, especially into rivers or seas without any treatment because this is the most convenient way of disposing waste water. Industrial waste consists of some kind of chemical substance such as sulphur, which is harmful to marine life. Lead is known as the main reason for cancer disease. Cancer has become a popular disease in several communes which are called “cancer villages”. Another cause is the awareness of citizens, people always use water for many purposes and then they dump waste water or garbage directly into rivers, canals, and ponds and so on. In 2004, because of bird flu outbreak in Viet Nam, people threw poultry to water body that made water highly polluted. 1. Waste water from many factories which is dumped into water bodies directly causes water pollution. 2. Dumping waste directly into water is the most convenient way of disposing waste water. 3. Sulphur is believed the main reason for cancer. 4. Cancer villages occurred in 2004. 5. Due to lack of awareness, people poisoned water with dead poultry when there was bird flu outbreak in 2004. ▪ Your answer: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Exercise 11.Read the text, and mark the sentences true (T), false (F), or not given (NG). Let’s Save Planet Earth Now Our planet is in danger, and we are responsible for this situation. But it’s not too late. We will have to work together to help save our home. Did you know that man destroys 50 acres of rainforest every minute? If you throw away two aluminiumcans, you waste more energy than one billion of the world’s poorest people use in one day. Air conditioning uses 10 times more energy than a fan and so the pollution it creates is 10 times greater. There are mountains of rubbish everywhere, the Arctic ice cap is melting, animals are becoming extinct. So, what can we do to help? Surprisingly, it’s very easy, but we have to do a little every day, otherwise things will never change. Save electricity: turn off lights, computers, laptops, and TVs when you don’t need them. Don’t use air conditioning, use a fan instead. One of the best ways to help the planet is to ride a bike . 36 to school. This will help you save money, get more exercise and, more importantly, you won’t pollute the air. Reuse and recycle and you will help the planet in a positive way. 1. Our planet is at risk. ____ 2. People waste a lot of energy. ____ 3. We use too many aluminium cans. ____ 4. Pollution from a fan is 10 times greater than pollution from air conditioning. ____ 5. People use air conditioners more than fans. ____ 6. Rubbish ends up on mountain tops. ____ 7. It’s too late to change the situation. ____ 8. Laptops waste electricity. ____ Exercise 12. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions. You can help protect the environment through wise shopping. Firstly, buy sustainable products. Plastic is one of the most significant contributors to soil and water pollution, endangering both the land and water life. Fish and animals often eat plastic because they mistake it as food. So, when you’re buying school supplies like folders and pens, or buying toys and home accessories, try to look for more eco-friendly alternatives. For example, buy a reusable bottle for water instead of bottled water. It’s not only cheaper but also much better for the environment. Secondly, only buy what you need. Think about your purchasing habits. Do you buy too many products? Can you do without some of the things that you often buy? Are you a responsible consumer? Simply buying more because of tempting offers or discounts will actually cost us and the environment more. By buying only what you need, you reduce the amount of waste, and thus pollution. As natural resources are limited, our big consumption can contribute to exhausting them. 1. Why is plastic not environment-friendly?  2. What products should we look for when we buy school or home supplies?  3. What may make people buy more than they need?  4. What does big consumption lead to?  5. What does ‘eco-friendly’ mean?  Exercise 13.Read the text, and do the tasks that follow. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Question: Where’s the biggest garbage dump in the world? Answer: It’s in the North Pacific Ocean.
• 20. Pacific Garbage Patch is bigger than the US. It was discovered in 1997 by Captain Charles Moore, who was sailing to California after a boat race. Moore told scientists that he’d seen millions of plastic bottles, bags, and other trash in the water. He later published articles about his experience, and even presented YouTube videos. Scientists discovered that the plastic in the ‘Patch’ was kept together by collecting plastic in its centre and stopping it from escaping. The plastic breaks into tiny parts, until it looks like ‘plastic soup’. Non- biodegradable materials, like metal and most kinds of plastic, aren’t very environmentally friendly because they can last for hundreds of years. Question: How was the Great Pacific Garbage Patch created? Answer: It was made by people like you and me. Look around. How many plastic objects can you see right now? The average American uses around 190 pounds (86 kilograms) of plastic every year. Only around half of all plastic trash is buried in garbage dumps. Plastic trash which isn’t buried often ends up in rivers and streams, and eventually reaches the ocean. This plastic water pollution can hurt or kill sea animals, including endangered species. For example, rare loggerhead sea turtles sometimes eat plastic bags because they look like their favourite food jellyfish. Plastic is dangerous for US, too. It’s eaten by fish, which we may then eat ourselves. Even more worryingly, plastic stops sunlight from reaching algae, which then dies. Algae are very useful because they absorb harmful carbon dioxide gases (a major cause of global warming), and they also make up about 70 percent of all the oxygen we breathe. Question: How can we solve the problem? Answer: We can’t! Unfortunately, experts have said that it would be impossible to ‘clean’ the whole ocean. It’s too big. What we can do is teach people about the dangers of ocean trash. In 2010, David de Rothschild sailed from California to Australia in a boat which he called the Plastiki. It was made from 12,5000 plastic bottles. The voyage was reported around the world and helped to publicize the problem. You can help too, by making sure you always put your trash in a bin. Use less plastic if you can. For example, use paper bags instead of plastic bags, and don't buy chewing gum. Not many people know this, but it’s also made from plastic. 1. Why was Captain Charles Moore sailing in the Pacific Ocean?  2. How does our plastic trash reach the ocean?  3. What living things sometimes eat plastic trash?  4. How did the voyage on the Plastiki help? . 38  5. How can student readers help?  Exercise 14.Read the text again then answer the questions below. Pollution and its Negative Effects Pollution is the degradation of natural environment by external substances introduced directly or indirectly. Human health, ecosystem quality and aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity may be affected and altered permanently by pollution. Pollution occurs when ecosystems can not get rid of substances introduced into the environment. The critical threshold of its ability to naturally eliminate substances is compromised and the balance of the ecosystem is broken. The sources of pollution are numerous. The identification of these different pollutants and their effects on ecosystems is complex. They can come from natural disasters or the result of human activity, such as oil spills, chemical spills nuclear accidents... These can have terrible consequences on people and the planet where they live: destruction of the biodiversity, increased mortality of human and animal species, destruction of natural habitat, damage caused to the quality of soil, water and air .. Preventing pollution and protecting the environment necessitate application of the principles of sustainable development. We have to consider satisfy the needs of today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This means that we should remedy existing pollution, but also anticipate and prevent future pollution sources in order to protect the environment and public health. Any environmental damage must be punishable by law, and polluters should pay compensation for the damage caused to the environment. 1. What is the pollution?  2. When does pollution occur?  3. How is the sources of pollution?  4. What can the pollutants of pollution be?  5. List three effects of pollution.  6. Should polluters pay compensation for the damage caused to the environment? 

She spent the day collecting drinks containers, sweet wrappers and small pieces of paper from a beach near her home. Grace has been involved in this event for about five years now. ‘I’ve always done it with my school, but this year my friends and I decided to register as our own group. We think it’s good not only to pick up the rubbish, but to bring people’s attention to the fact that there is a lot of rubbish out there. If you do it with friends and family, then it means you can have fun and do something useful at the same time. It’s an important thing to do.

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing simple things. First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it. Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking short showers instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth. Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and reusing. If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted. 1. Pollution can be caused from the following sources except____________. A. house chemicals C. wastes B. water from households D. water in rivers. 2. Recycling can help us____________.

GRAMMAR: I. Complex sentences with adverb clauses of time. (Câu phức với mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian.) 1. Complex sentence (câu phức) a. Định nghĩa: là câu có một mệnh đề độc lập và ít nhất một mệnh đề phụ thuộc. Mệnh đề độc lập trong câu là mệnh đề chính. Câu phức được sử dụng khi ta cần bổ sung thông tin để giải thích hoặc sửa đổi ý của mệnh đề chính trong câu. b. Ví dụ: Ex1: I took my dog to the vet because he was feeling sick. (Tôi đưa con chó của tôi đến bác sĩ thú y vì nó đang ốm.) ⇨ Mệnh đề chính: “I took my dog to the vet, mệnh đề phụ:” he was feeling sick” bổ nghĩa lý do tại sao” tôi” phải đưa chó của mình đi khám.” Ex2: After Mary ate snacks, she got a stomachache. ( Sau khi Mary ăn vặt, cô ấy đã bị đau bụng.) ⇨ Mệnh đề chính:” She got a stomachache”, mệnh đề phụ:” Mary ate snack” đã bổ nghĩa lý do tại sao” cô ấy đau bụng.” 2.

( Khi tôi học xong, tôi sẽ ra nước ngoài.) ⇨ Nếu chỉ để mệnh đề trạng ngữ” When I finish studying”, thì câu sẽ không rõ nghĩa. 3. An adverb clause of time (Mệnh đề trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian)
