PART A. THEORY
Content: From Unit 1 to Unit 6
I. Pronunciation
* Pronounce
* Stress
II. Vocabulary
* Traditional crafts; Places of interest
* City life
* Changes in adolescence
* Life in the past
* Words to describe wonders of Viet Nam
* Transport systems, family groups, and school life then and now
III. Grammar
1. Complex sentences (dependent clause of time, purpose, reason and concession)
2. Phrasal verbs.
Verbs combined with particles such as back, in, on, off, through, up etc… (in Unit 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5)
3. Comparison of Adjectives and Adverbs
Cấu trúc so sánh hơn của tính từ, trạng từ ngắn:
S1 + be +  adj-er     than + S2
        V       adv-er
Cấu trúc so sánh hơn của tính từ, trạng từ dài:
S1 + be        more              adj      than + S2
        V        more/less         adv  
Cấu trúc so sánh hơn nhất của tính từ ngắn:
          S1 + be + the + Adj- est  + O
Cấu trúc so sánh hơn nhất của tính từ dài:
                    S1+ be + the most + adj + O
* Trước so sánh hơn của tính từ, chúng ta có thể sử dụng a bit, a little, much, a lot far (= a lot). So sánh
 hơn nhất ta  có thể dùng second, third, by far.
 
4.  Reported speech (Câu tường thuật) 
* Statements
S + said/ told that  + mệnh đề lùi thì
Ex: He said: “I will call you tomorrow.” => He said (that) he would call me the next day. 
Thông thường, trong câu gián tiếp người ta chia động từ lùi lại một thì so với câu trực tiếp.
Người ta không lùi thì khi động từ dẫn nhập ở thì hiện tại, hoặc câu trần thuật trực tiếp diễn tả sự thật hiển nhiên đúng.
These modal verbs do not change in reported speech: might, could, would, should, ought to
* Question word before to-infinitive
S + V + (O) + Wh-word + to-infinitive (+...)
Question words before to-infinitive: used to express a situation that is difficult or uncertain or about something that should be… (dùng để diễn tả tình huống khó hoặc không chắc chắn hoặc việc nên làm…) Note: verbs used before the question words + to-infinitive: ask, wonder, (not) be sure, have no idea, (not) know, (not) decide, (not) tell…
Ex: Peter told me how to solve this problem. 
Notes: To report Y/N questions we use WHETHER + to infinitive (IF can’t be used in this case)
 
* Reported questions with “wh-word + to-infinitive”:
S + reporting V + (O) + wh-word + to-infinitive (+ ...)
Ex: “What should I do?” she said. => She wondered what to do. 
 
5. Passive voice: Impersonal passive
Sử dụng câu bị động khách quan để thể hiện ý kiến của người khác.
Form: S + believe/ say/ think … that + S + V … => It + be + PII +  that + clause (S + V + O)
Ex: People think (that) he is a great teacher. → It is thought that he is a great teacher.
6. Used to
Usage: "Used to" được dùng để miêu tả những thói quen hoặc trạng thái đã xảy ra và kết thúc trong quá khứ.
Form:
(+) S + used to + V
(-) S + didn’t use to / used not to + V
(?) Did + S + use to + V?
Note:
Be used to + Ving: quen với việc gì
Get used to + Ving: dần quen với
Ex: I used to go to school by bus last year.
 
7. Wishes for the present
We use the past simple when we make wishes for present.
Ex. I wish my friends spent less time playing computer games and more time outdoors.
Ex. She wishes she were/ was studying harder.
(past continuous to make wishes for something happening at right at this moment)
Note: after wish, we can use either was or were with I/ he/ she/ it.
Form:              S1 + wish + (that) + S2 + V2 (past simple/ past continuous)
 
8. Suggest + V-ing/ clause with should
S + suggest Ving (gợi ý cùng làm)
Ex1: Daisy, I suggest going by train.
S + suggest (that) Subject (should) bare infinitive (gợi ý cho người khác làm)
Ex2: My father suggests we should travel to HCM City by air.
 
9.  Adjective + to-infinitive; Adjective + that-clause
a.  It + be + adjective + to-infinitive is used to emphasise information by bringing it to the front of the clause.
Eg: It is important (for you) to do exercise regularly.
b. S + be+ adjective + to-infinitive is used to express emotions, confidence, or worries…
Eg: I was happy to have a good mark at English.
c. S + be + adjective + that- clause is used to express emotions
Eg: I am excited that you will come to visit us next week.
 
10.  Tenses: All tenses which Ss have learnt.
