THE ICEHOTEL
For many years the Arctic was a popular destination in the summer season to see the land of
the midnight sun but in winter the few inhabitants had the snow and ice to themselves. By the end of
the 1980s it was decided that the dark and cold winter should be seen as an advantage. In the winter
of 1990 the French artist Jannot Derit was invited to have the opening of an exhibition in a specially
built igloo (a building made of snow) in the little town of Jukkasjärvi on the frozen Torne River.
The building, named Arctic Hall, attracted many interested visitors to the area. One night a group of
foreign guests decided it would be a good idea to sleep in the Arctic Hall. The following morning
the brave group were very pleased with their experience and the idea of an ice hotel was born.
Today it is world famous.
8
As soon as winter begins, a team of snow builders, architects and artists from all over the
world come to Jukkasjärvi and they make the hotel for that year. As one part is completed, it opens
to visitors and overnight guests, while the other parts are still being built. The first part is completed
in December and each week after that a new part opens, until January 7th when the hotel is
completed. As the ICEHOTEL is built under the open sky, using the natural materials of the winter
season, the finishing date depends on nature and therefore there are sometimes changes to the plan.
In the spring, as the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts.
Inside the hotel, the temperature is never colder than –5 °C to –8 °C, however cold it may be
outside. Winter outer clothes such as warm overalls, hats and gloves are included in the cost of
guests’ stay at the hotel. In addition to this, it is a good idea for guests to bring sweaters and a scarf
as well as plenty of woolen socks and to choose footwear that is larger than normal to allow space
for thick socks.
If you are planning to come to the hotel, you can buy warm sweaters, woolen socks and much
more on the ICEHOTEL website. You can order these and the equipment you will need at the same time
as you book your visit. The items will be delivered to your room when you check in.
The hotel is in the village of Jukkasjärvi, 200 km above the Arctic Circle but only 15 km
from Kiruna airport and 17 km from Kiruna train station. Transport by bus can be arranged from the
airport or train station to the IceHotel.

PART 3: Read the following passage and do the tasks below. Write your answers in the
numbered table.
The Atmosphere of Venus

Venus, also called the Morning Star and Evening Star, is the second-closest planet to the sun
and the brightest object in the night sky. The planet orbits the sun every two hundred and twenty
four Earth-days and is sometimes referred to as Earth’s sister planet because the two share both a
similar size and bulk. What is not similar, however, is Venus’s atmosphere in comparison to Earth’s
atmosphere.
The atmosphere on Venus is much heavier and has a higher density than that of Earth.
Venus’s atmosphere also expands significantly higher than Earth’s atmosphere although a thick
cloud cover makes the surface of Venus nearly impossible to see unless observed through radar
mapping.
9
While the pressure and temperature of Venus’s upper atmosphere are comparable to those of
Earth, the heat and pressure of the lower atmosphere are not unlike a furnace. Venus’s atmosphere is
very thick due to a composition consisting mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of
nitrogen. If man could survive the extreme heat of Venus’s surface (400 degrees Celsius), then
he would have to contend with a surface pressure that is more than 90 times that of Earth.
Venus’s extremely high temperature is thanks to the greenhouse effect caused by such a large
amount of carbon dioxide. The greenhouse effect is a process by which the sun’s infrared radiation
is more readily absorbed by the atmosphere. Just like in a real greenhouse used to grow plants years
round, the proliferation of carbon dioxide traps radiation and warms Venus’s atmosphere. Due to
this phenomenon, Venus boasts a higher atmospheric temperature than Mercury, even though Venus
is twice the distance from the sun.
However, scientists postulate that Venus’s atmosphere was not always so hot. [A] Studies
show that large bodies of water were once on Venus’s surface but that eventually evaporation of all
the water caused the runaway greenhouse effect which regulates the planet today. [B] Thus Venus
has become a critical study for today’s scientists, as human being are only beginning to struggle
with the early stages of the greenhouse effect. [C] Our problems do not stem from evaporated water
supplies but from a propagation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases due to industrial and
automobile emissions. [D]
Another interesting characteristic to note regarding Venus’s atmosphere is that its daytime
temperatures and nighttime temperatures are not that far removed from each other. This is due to the
thermal inertia, the ability of a substance to store heat despite changing temperatures and the transfer
of heat by Venus’s strong winds. Although winds on the surface of Venus move slowly in
comparison with Earth’s winds, Venus’s air is so dense that a slow-moving there can move large
obstructions and even skip stones along the planet’s surface.
In 1966, humankind made its first attempt at sending a recording instrument into Venus’s
atmosphere. The Venera 3 probe did collide with Venus surface; however, the abrupt impact caused
its communication system to fail, and it was unable to send and feedback. In 1967, Venera 4
successfully enter Venus’s atmosphere and was able to take many readings, one of which recorded
that Venus’s atmosphere was between ninety and ninety-five percent carbon dioxide. Subsequent
Venera probes were sent into Venus’s atmosphere, but most of them succumbed to the crushing air
pressure.
Questions 1-7: Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the
passage.
1. According to paragraph 1, Venus is named the Morning Star and Evening Star because ______
A. it is very bright
B. it is close to the sun

3? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential
information.
A. Earth experiences greater surface pressure than Venus.
B. If a man could survive its surface pressure.
C. The surface pressure and heat of Venus are much greater than those on Earth.
D. Venus’s surface temperature and pressure make it uninhabitable by humans.
4. According to paragraph 3, the greenhouse effect on Venus is owed to ______
A. the small amounts of nitrogen
B. the rapid increasing amounts of carbon dioxide
C. growing plants
D. the high atmospheric temperatures
5. In paragraph 4, the author of the passage implies that Earth ______
A. might suffer the same greenhouse effect as Venus
B. once had an atmosphere similar to Venus’s
C. has bodies of water similar to those on Venus today
D. is experiencing a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
6. Look at the four blanks […] in paragraph 4 that indicate where the following sentence could be
added to the passage.
Although the causes are different, the ramifications are the same.
Where would the sentence best fit?
7. The word propagation in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. generation B. elimination C. evaporation D. desecration

PART 4: You are going to read a magazine article about learning how to fly a plane. Eight
paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from paragraphs A-I the one that fits
each gap (1-8). There is one extra paragraph that you do not need to use. Write your answers in
the numbered table below.
Learning to Fly
I had been testing cars and motorcycles for over twenty years. I couldn’t take any more. It wasn’t
terribly exciting and, in any case, new cars were beginning to look identical and drive similarly.
What I needed was a new challenge.
1
Unfortunately, I wore glasses. The Royal Air Force wouldn’t consider anyone for pilot training
unless they had perfect eyesight. Halfway through an aptitude test, they realised that my eyes were
far from perfect. I didn’t stand a chance.
2
It was an obvious choice. It’s just twenty minutes’ drive from my home. It’s very quiet, too, so the
£90 per hour for the training is spent flying in the air, not waiting on the ground for other planes to
take off.
3
It took me a whole year to get my private pilot’s license. It started well, with my first solo flight
coming after just seven hours. Then came all the studying, the exams, the hard work. I never thought
I’d get to the end of it.
4
Then came last winter and the end of the course was in sight. For weeks, the weather was so terrible
that for most of the time it was impossible to fly. Strong winds, heavy rain and even snow and ice
made flying conditions extremely hazardous.
5
But finally the first of three practical exams arrived – the navigation test. The examiner sets you a
course that you have to plan according to the weather, and then fly with him sitting beside you.
6
I passed this test, but I don’t know how. The second test involves flying cross-country to two other
airports, which you can choose, and landing at both. The important thing is to give the right
messages to the air-traffic control people and understand their replies.
7
After this alarming episode, the exercises in the flight-handling test were simple. As we complete
the sixth exercise, the examiner suddenly turned to me and said, ‘Congratulations – you’ve passed!’
8
I wasn’t sure why, because we usually land as slowly as possible. Then I turned round and realised
straight away: we were being followed by a British Airways jumbo jet!
12
A. A week which we had set aside for finishing the course came and went with no possibility of
getting in the air at all. And besides the problems with the weather, my second son was born, and
that made it even more difficult to find the time for lessons and studying.
B. But the real reason I chose this club was that a friend of mine, Andrew Wilkins, is the chief
instructor there. He impressed me by taking me out for a free flight just so that I could see what it
was like.
C. Unfortunately, I got myself lost this time and flew too far east. I completely missed the first
airport. However, I flew over a car factory I recognised and managed to get back on course.
D. Along the way, he’ll take the controls and fly off course, just to get you lost. Then he’ll hand
back the control to you and expect you to find your way home.
E. One day I was asked by an air-traffic controller if I could see another aircraft ahead. I said yes,
and immediately it disappeared into a cloud. I just didn’t know what to do.
F. At the time, taking private lessons to learn how to fly was financially beyond me. So I had to
delay my plans to become a pilot for quite a while. It was twenty years, in fact, before I finally
enrolled at a flying club in Hertfordshire.
G. Since getting my pilot’s license, I’ve been out flying a few times. The highlight so far was flying
up to Birmingham International Airport for a motor show with Andrew beside me. As we
approached the way, the air-traffic controller came on the radio asking for as much speed as our
little plane could manage.
H. For months, my head was always in a book and my head hurt from all the facts, figures and
flying instructions.
I. This feeling of needing a change coincided with my 40th birthday, which started me thinking
about what I’d been doing all those years. When I left school all I had really wanted to do was fly.

5 B on the verge of extinction: có nguy cơ bị tuyệt chủng.
Chú ý: đề gốc cho cả edge và verge vào lựa chọn - và đó là sai đề vì cả 2 từ này đều dùng
được.
6 A interval: lúc nghỉ (để chuyển cảnh) của 1 vở kịch.
break dùng cho thời gian nghỉ ở trường học.
7 B go over one's head: quá khó để ai có thể hiểu.

16
- impotent /'impɒtənt/: bất lực.
12 - team up with sb: lập nhóm với ai, cùng đội với ai. (dựa vào nghĩa của câu)
13 B It was decided that: Người ta quyết định rằng.
- Ý A không chính xác là do khi là bị động với chủ ngữ là người thì decide mang nghĩa
"khiến cho, đẩy vào chỗ, ảnh hưởng đến" với ý tiêu cực.
(Tuy nhiên câu này rất không rõ ràng - do đề như vậy nên anh phải giữ nguyên. Hơi chán !)
14 C come up with a solution: nghĩ ra giải pháp.
15 B Adj + though/as + S + to be = mặc dù. (các ý kia sai ngữ pháp hoặc từ)
"Dù trời nóng, họ vẫn ngủ ngon."
PART 2
1 would/ sau chỗ này là 1 Động từ nguyên thể nên chắc chắn cần điền 1 động từ nguyên thể.
could/ Ở đây là 1 sự việc mang tính giả tưởng hơn là sự thật (chúng ta không thể thay đổi
trường học được mà chỉ giả sử) nên phải dùng 1 trong 3 từ kia mang tính giả sử.
might
2 what what + to be + S + like: như thế nào.
- trong câu là dạng câu dẫn nên đổi vị trí của to be và S.
What the ideal school is like: ngôi trường lý tưởng là như thế nào.
3 any/ từ student ở dạng số ít mà câu đó lại là: "Cuộc thi của bọn tao thì mở rộng cho …..
every sinh viên từ 12 đến 18 tuổi"
=> cần 1 từ mang nghĩa bất kỳ = any , hoặc có thể dùng every = mỗi.
4 as "Mày có thể tham gia với tư cách cá nhân."
(hơi khó cho nhiều bạn)
5 up to be up to sb: tùy thuộc vào ai, do ai tự quyết định.
6 of evidence of sth: bằng chứng của cái gì; dấu hiệu của cái gì
evidence of originality, imagination: dấu hiệu của tính sáng tạo và trí tưởng tượng
7 all above all: hơn hết là, trên hết là.

17
and, above all, the genuine views of young people: và hơn hết là quan điểm
thực sự của giới trẻ.
(có thể dùng above everything - nhưng cụm này hiếm gặp)
8 taking take part in sth: tham gia cái gì.
by + doing sth: bằng việc, với việc làm gì.
9 in in the competition: trong cuộc thi.
(câu này hơi củ chuối)
10 because because of sth: bởi vì điều này (việc mà các tác phẩm sẽ được giữ lại ở trường Đại
học hay dùng trong thí nghiệm).
+ có of thì các bạn nghĩ ngay đến 1 cụm giới từ.
11 if even if: thậm chí là, thậm chí ngay cả khi. (nhớ dịch câu)
12 later no later than: không muộn hơn; trước ( sau nó giờ/ ngày/ tháng cố định)
PART 3
1. √ 6. is 11. back
2. have 7. would 12. by
3. so 8. √ 13. who
4. for 9. √ 14. √
5. √ 10. if 15. at
10. as if mang nghĩa "như thể là" - còn cụm as you can see (như mày có thể thấy) là cố định.
13. who chèn vào sẽ sai nghĩa - dịch câu.
15. arrive home = come home/ come back home - không cần at nữa.
PART 4
18
1 buried lie buried: bị chồn vui (nói về đất đai).
2 was discovered sau ever since (trong suốt quãng thời gian kể từ khi) dùng Quá Khứ Đơn.
3 have speculated nếu có since + quá khứ đơn thì vế còn lại là Hiện Tại Hoàn Thành.
4 have wondered có recently (gần đây) dùng Hiện Tại Hoàn Thành.
- more recently: gần đây hơn.
5 be taking dùng could be doing: khả năng 1 việc đang xảy ra tại thời điểm hiện tại
nhưng mang tính không chắc chắn - có wonder (thắc mắc) ở trước.
6 were thời điểm quá khứ và cấu trúc There to be (có gì đó) chia to be theo Danh từ
đứng sau nó.
7 experienced dùng quá khứ đơn để đồng dạng với sweltered ở sau.
8 occcur dùng Hiện Tại Đơn vì vế sau cũng Hiện Tại Đơn ; ở đây that thay cho
changes nên nó chia theo số nhiều.
9 standing sau with + S sẽ +:
+ V-ing nếu đó là câu chủ động.
+ V-p2 nếu đó là câu bị động.
=> câu trong bài ở dạng Bị Động.
10 to adverse vulnarable to: bị ảnh hưởng bởi.
(tuy nhiên câu này sai đề vì adverse là Tính từ chứ không phải Động từ trong
khi đề bảo chia Động từ - chuối thế nhỉ !)
PART 5
1 Stop - stop thứ nhất là trạm dừng (xe buýt hay tàu).
- stop the game = cho dừng trận đấu.
- come to a stop = stop = dừng lại.
2 mind - keep one's mind on sth: chú tâm vào việc gì.
- have sb/sth in mind for sth: nghĩ đến ai, cái gì cho 1 mục đích nào đó.

19
3 shop - gift shop: cửa hàng bán quá tặng.
- do a weekly shop: đi mua sắm hàng tuần (có thể dùng daily/ monthly).
(cụm này hiếm - vì thường chúng ta chỉ biết đến go shopping)
- shop sb (to the police): tố giác ai (với cảnh sát).
4 luck - wish sb the best of luck / best luck: chúng ai thật may mắn.
- beginner's luck: sự may mắn dành cho người mới tham gia (1 hoạt động); người
mới vào hay gặp may.
(giới cờ bạc hay có câu "Cờ bạc đãi tay mới" để chỉ người mới chơi hay gặp may.
- There is no such thing as luck: Đừng có trông chờ vào may mắn.
5 power - position of power: vị thế quyền lực.
- power supply: sự cung cấp điện.
- have the power to do sth: có quyền năng làm gì ; có khả năng (siêu nhiên) làm gì.
6 technology - information technology: công nghệ thông tin

- No matter how advanced technology becomes: dù công nghệ có tiên tiến như thế
nào ( + , máy móc sẽ không bao giờ có thể suy nghĩ như con người)
- "Thật phí thời gian khi con người làm những việc công nghệ hiện đại có thể làm".
7 thought - The thought strikes sb that: ai đó đột nhiên nghĩ rằng.

(câu trong bài dùng bị động - dịch là: "Cô ấy bất thình lình giật mình nghĩa rằng …")
- without a second thought: không cần suy nghĩ; ngay lập tức
- It was once thought that: Người ta từng nghĩ rằng …

(câu bị động "Người ta nghĩ rằng, nói rằng …")
8 aid - foreign aid: sự cứu trợ nước ngoài.
- emergency aid in the form of money: cứu trợ khẩn cấp dưới dạng tiền mặt.
- aid programme: chương trình cứu trợ.
(tuy aid ~ help nhưng collocation ở trên chủ yếu đi với aid)
PART 6
1. beneficial: có ích - sau to be thường phải là Tính từ.

20
2. presentation: sự trình bày, sự diễn đạt - nó phải là Danh từ vì ở sau Tính từ General
và thuộc số hữu cách your ở trước
3. noticeable: đáng kể - đứng trước Danh từ và sau Mạo từ cần 1 Tính từ.
4. speech: bài nói, bài diễn văn - cần 1 Danh từ sau Mạo từ.
5. orally: bằng lời, ra miệng - give sth orally: nói ra cái gì, trình bày cái gì bằng lời nói.
6. professional: người chuyên nghiệp - từ này vừa là Tính từ (chuyên nghiệp) và vừa
là Danh từ.
7. impression: sự ấn tượng - cần 1 Danh từ sau Tính từ different.
8. response: phản ứng; câu trả lời - cần 1 Danh từ sau sở hữu cách.
9. revisit: xem xét lại - cần biết nghĩa của từ này khi thêm tiền tố Re-.

SECTION III

định.

12 A aim of doing sth: mục đích làm gì.
PART 2
1 I For many years the Arctic was a popular destination in the summer season ….. By the end
of the 1980s, it was decided that ….
=> những năm 1980s vẫn đông khách - chỉ cuối những năm này thì chưa biết.
2 C The building, named Arctic Hall, attracted many interested visitors to the area
3 I One night a group of foreign guests decided it would be a good idea to sleep in the
Arctic Hall.
=> khách tự nảy ra ý định ngủ tại đây chứ không phải người họa sĩ kia.
4 C As one part is completed, it opens to visitors and overnight guests, while the other
parts are still being built.
=> Dù chỉ có 1 phần của khách sạn được xây xong nhưng vẫn có khách tới ngủ, còn
phần còn lại vẫn đang xây dở.
5 C the finishing date depends on nature and therefore there are sometimes changes to
the plan. In the spring, as the weather gets warmer, the hotel melts.
=> quá trình xây dựng phụ thuộc và thời tiết.
6 I Inside the hotel, the temperature is never colder than –5 °C to –8 °C, however cold it
may be outside.
=> nhiệt độ trong khách sạn luôn ở mức như trên và không phụ thuộc bên ngoài.
22
7 C Winter outer clothes such as warm overalls, hats and gloves are included in the cost
of guests’ stay at the hotel.
=> một số trang phục là do khách sạn cung cấp.
8 I to choose footwear that is larger than normal to allow space for thick socks.
=> chọn ủng phải lớn hơn để cho khít với tất.
(footwear: đồ đi chân như giày, ủng - hơi khoai)
9 I The items will be delivered to your room when you check in.
=> các đồ này sẽ được đưa tới phòng khách sạn, không phải tới nhà.
10 I Transport by bus can be arranged from the airport or train station to the IceHotel.
=> đi buýt từ sân bay đến khách sạn chứ không phải đi tàu.
PART 3
1 A Venus, also called the Morning Star and Evening Star, is the second-closest planet to the sun
and the brightest object in the night sky.
2 C The atmosphere on Venus is much heavier and has a higher density than that of Earth.
=> That sẽ phải thay cho the atmosphere ở đoạn trước.
3 D If man could survive the extreme heat of Venus’s surface (400 degrees Celsius), then he
would have to contend with a surface pressure that is more than 90 times that of Earth.
= Nếu như con người có thể sống sót được qua nhiệt độ cực nóng của bề mặt Sao Kim (400
độ C), họ có thể chịu được một áp lực bề mặt lớn hơn 90 lần áp lực bề mặt trái đất.
=> Nhiệt độ và bề mặt của sao Kim làm cho việc con người sống ở đây là không thể.
+ Ý C bị sai do câu trong bài đọc không hề nhắc đến việc nhiệt độ ở Sao Kim lớn hơn ở trái đất
- mà chỉ nói áp lực bề mặt lớn hơn thôi.
(câu này rất khoai và dễ bị lừa nên tại sao người ta cho dòng thứ 2: Incorrect answer
choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
4 B Venus’s extremely high temperature is thanks to the greenhouse effect caused by such a
large amount of carbon dioxide.
23
5 A Thus Venus has become a critical study for today’s scientists, as human being are only
beginning to struggle with the early stages of the greenhouse effect.
(đang ở giai đoạn đầu nghĩa là sau này còn có khả năng phải chịu hiện tượng khí thải
nhà kính y như ở Sao Kim)
6 B Although the causes are different, the ramifications are the same = Mặc dù nguyên
nhân khác nhau, sự phân nhánh là như nhau.
=> đoạn này phải được chèn vào chỗ [B] - bởi vì đoạn trước đang nói đến các nguyên
nhân gây ra hiệu ứng nhà kính - cần kết hợp với cuối đoạn 3 nữa.
(nhưng câu này khó - lại có từ hiếm; nói chung thi HSG luôn có ĐỘ SIDA trong cách ra
đề)
7 A Our problems do not stem from evaporated water supplies but from a propagation of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases due to industrial and automobile emissions.
propagation: sự truyền, sự nhân lên ~ generation.
(câu này khó - nó cho như kiểu để không ai làm được thì phải)
8 A A - đầu đoạn 4.
C C - đoạn cuối
F F - cuối đoạn 4 - chú ý propagate (sản sinh, truyền) là động từ của propagation ở câu 7.
ý D sai do thiếu cái surface ; ý E sai do nó nói là máy thăm dò được làm năm 1966 -
trong bài chỉ nói năm 1966 máy thăm dò đầu tiên được gửi đến sao Kim chứ không nói
nó được làm ra năm đó.
PART 4
1-I cuối đoạn 1 nói về người này muốn 1 thử thách mới, còn đầu đoạn I khẳng định lại việc muốn 1 sự
thay đổi đó.
2-F đoạn trước nói về việc người này không được huấn luyện ở Lực Lượng Không Quân Hoàng Gia do
mắt kém => tính chuyện thuê riêng người dạy là không thể => chọn được 1 câu lạc bộ => (đoạn 3)
24
nhà chỉ cách câu lạc bộ 20 phút đi xe.
3-B đoạn 3 nói về lợi thế khi bay ở đây (yên tĩnh, rẻ, nhanh- và đoạn B nói lại lý do thực sự của việc
chọn nơi này.
4 - H đoạn 4 nói về học hành và kỳ thi lây bằng thì đoạn H nói về vụ đau đầu khi đọc các sự kiện, con
số, bài chỉ dẫn bay.
5 - A đoạn 5 là nói về thời tiết xấu và đoạn A nối tiếp sự việc (có besides … the weather).
6 - D đoạn 6 nói về việc có người giám thị ngồi cạnh - đoạn D tiếp nối cách người này kiểm tra người thi
7 - C đoạn 7 nói về nhiệm vụ phải hạ cánh ở 2 sân bay - đoạn C nói người này bị lạc rồi chỉnh lại được
8 - G cuối đoạn 8 là người này được thông báo thi đỗ => đoạn G người này có bằng phi công ; cuối đoạn
G có nói người điều khiển giao thông hàng không yêu cầu bay nhanh => đoạn cuối thì người này
ngạc nhiên vì thường họ chỉ hạn cánh chậm.
(đoạn E bị bỏ vì nó chả liên kết với đoạn nào)
SECTION 4
PART 1
1 Should you have any complaints about the product, return the product to the shop.
+ Should ở đây ~ if - dùng cho câu điều kiện loại 1.
2 I cancelled subscription to the shop (almost/ around) nine moths ago.
+ subscribe (to sth): đặt mua dài hạn (báo, tạp chí)
+ ở đây ta chuyển từ stop + 1 Động từ sang cancel + Danh từ (vì cancel không đi với Động từ)
=> danh từ của subscribe là subscription (sự đặt mua dài hạn báo, tạp chí)
+ Câu này cho từ almost vào câu gốc nhưng đáp án chuẩn lại không có từ này làm rối hết lên. Haizzz
3 Never had she expected she was so successful.
+ có never ở đầu hãy nghĩ ngay đến Đảo Ngữ.

25
+ beyond one's expectation: vượt quá sự mong đợi của ai - và khi viết lại ta cần động từ nên chuyển
expectation => expect với dạng quá khứ hoàn thành (vì việc mong đợi này xảy ra trước)
+ so successful: thành công đến như vậy

(cái này chắc là phần khó nhất của câu - ghi nhớ thôi !)
4 The more proficient he was at/in the game, the more he was fond of it.
+ có the more nghĩ ngay đến cấu trúc "càng … càng …"
+ proficiency: sự thành thạo - ta chuyển về tính từ của nó là proficient: thành thạo ( + in/at sth)
+ fondness (sự yêu thích) là Danh từ của Tính từ fond (thích) ( + of sth) - cái này không dùng làm
Tính từ ở phần The + Tính từ được (đây là phần khó nhất của câu).
5 No announcement of the findings will be made until next week.
+ announcement of sth: sự công bố về cái gì.
+ make + announcement = announce: công bố.
+ câu này tổng hợp của việc chuyển từ Động từ => Động từ mượn + Danh từ, biết được Danh từ đó đi
với Giới Từ nào và chuyển sang câu bị động.
(hơi khoai !)
6 Neither of the lifts was working. (có thể dùng were)
+ to be out of order: hỏng, không hoạt động ~ not to be working (do neither mang nghĩa phủ định
nên chỗ not ta bỏ đi)
+ both of sth (2 đối tượng) mang nghĩa khẳng định còn Neither of sth (2 đối tượng) mang nghĩa phủ
định - ta chuyển đổi tương ứng theo 2 cấu trúc ở trên.
7 The operation left Simon feeling weaker than he (had) expected.
+ leave sb doing sth: làm ai có hành động như nào (thường là tiêu cực)
+ có expect các thứ thì thường dùng so sánh hơn trước nó - dù sao cái này không dễ nhận diện.
26
+ Có lẽ phân tích kỹ và ghi nhớ câu này thôi - khó !
PART 2
1 I wish I had ability to speak French.
cấu trúc là be able to do => have ability to do: có thể làm gì.
2 The rain was coming down in torrents.
- come down (rơi xuống) dùng cho mưa và tuyết.
- rain cats and dogs: mưa xối xả => in torrents: xối xả, như trút nước.
3 The two theory have (got) nothing in common / don't have (haven't got) anything in common.
"Hai giả thuyết dường như khác nhau hoàn toàn".
=> "Hai giả thuyết chả có điểm gì chung"
+ have sth in common: có chung cái gì.
4 You should have asked me (for permission) before you borrowed my book.
+ should have done: đáng lẽ phải làm việc gì trong quá khứ nhưng đã không làm.
5 This record used to be a favourite of mine when I was younger.
- used to do: thường làm gì trong quá khứ nhưng giờ không làm nữa.
- favourite (N): vật được ưa thích.
6 It’s difficult for my sister to put up with commuting every day.
+ put up with: chịu đựng.
+ commuting: sự đi đi lại lại từ nhà đến nơi làm việc.

27
7 The police caught the thief red-handed.
- catch sb red-handed: bắt tận tay; bắt quả tang (bắt ai đó khi họ đang phạm tội).
8 The North Sea is nothing like as warm as the Mediterranean.
+ to be nothing like:chả giống tí nào - khi đi với so sánh ngang bằng thì mang nghĩa "không thể bằng
được".
"Địa Trung Hải thì ấm, trong khi đó Biển Vắc lại lạnh hơn nhiều".
=> "Biển Bắc thì không thể ấm như (lạnh hơn) Địa Trung Hải".
PART 3
Điểm thành phần của bài luận theo những điểm đề nghị sau:
- Organization: Bố cục rõ ràng, đầy đủ ba phần: mở bài, thân bài, kết luận. (0,4đ)
- Discourse: (Thể hiện khả năng viết mạch lạc, chặt chẽ, nối kết câu, chuyển mạch tốt)
(0,6 đ)
- Sentence structures (expressions, vocabulary, spelling): Cấu trúc câu linh hoạt, (đơn, phức)
(0,8 đ )
- Ideas: (ý hay, phong phú, biểu đạt nội dung liên quan chặt chẽ với chủ đề của đề thi. (0,8)
- Length (Đảm bảo đủ số lượng từ qui định : không quá dài hoặc quá ngắn) (0,4đ)
- Bài này bọn em nên thiên về ý đầu - chăm sóc bởi gia đình.
- Những người già đều là cha mẹ hay ông bà gia đình - và chăm sóc họ là nghĩa vụ (duty) và bổn
phận (responsibility) của người trong gia đình, nhất là ở Việt Nam mình.
- Chỉ có do thành viên gia đình (Only by being looked after by family member) chăm sóc thì
người già mới nhận được chăm sóc toàn diện nhất (receive full care).
- Khi được người trong gia đình chăm sóc - những người già sẽ sống vui vẻ hơn và tuổi thọ (life
expectancy) có thể tăng lên.
- Việc chăm sóc các thành viên trong gia đình, nhất là người già, còn mang lại niềm vui trọn vẹn
(complete happiness) cho gia đình
* Các bạn có thể viết bài này và yêu cầu anh chữa cho nhé !
