Câu 7. Các công thức so sánh
a. So sánh bằng: as………….as
- So sánh bằng đối với tính từ (adj): S1 + Vtobe + as + adj + as + S2
Ex: Nam is as young as my younger sister.
- So sánh bằng đố i với trạng từ (adv): S1 + Vt+ as + adv + as + S2
Ex: She sings as beautifully as a singer.
- So sánh bằng đối với danh từ:
 Danh từ đếm được:
S + V + as many + plural noun + as + noun/ pronoun/ Clause
Trong đó: Plural noun: danh từ số nhiều/ Clause: mệnh đề/ Pronoun: đại từ
Ex: My brother has as many toys as me. (Anh trai tôi có nhiều đồ chơi như tôi.)
 Danh từ không đếm được:
S + V + as much + uncountable noun + as + noun/ pronoun/ clause
Trong đó: Uncountable noun: danh từ không đếm được/ Clause: mệnh đề/ Pronoun: đại từ
Ex: I have as much money as my brother. (Tôi có cùng số tiền với anh tôi.)
- So sánh bằng nhau hoặc như nhau cũng có thể được diễn đạt bằng cấu trúc the same as
Công thức: S + V + the same + (Noun) + as + O
Ex: My house is the same height as his.
(Nhà tôi cao bằng nhà anh ấy.)
All students just do the same as their instructor.
(Tất cả học sinh đều thực hiện động tác giống giáo viên của họ.)
b. So sánh không bằng
S1 + V + not as + adj/adv + as + S2
c. So sánh hơn: chia ra 2 trường hợp
* S + V + adj/ adv (1 âm tiết) + er + than
Ex: He is taller than me.
* S + V + more + adj/ adv (2 âm tiết trở lên) + than
Ex: She speaks English more fluently than her friend.
Phân biệt trạng từ/tính từ dài và ngắn
 Các trạng từ và tính từ ngắn trong so sánh hơn:
+ Tính từ có 1 âm tiết hoặc tính từ 2 âm tiết tận cùng là –y (happy, lucky), -er (clever), -ow (narrow),
-le (simple, gentle), -ure (mature), -et (trừ quiet, polite)
+ Trạng từ có 1 âm tiết (fast, hard) hoặc 2 âm tiết (early)
 Các tính từ và trạng từ dài:
+ Tính từ, trạng từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên (normal, boring, interesting)
+ Tính từ tận cùng là –ly (slowly, quickly, dangerously)
+ Tính từ 2 âm tiết đuôi –ing và –ed; –full và –less (boring – bored; carefull – careless)
 Lưu ý: Đừng nhầm lẫn giữa tính từ đuôi -ly và trạng từ đuôi –ly
- Quy tắc thay đổi tính từ so sánh hơn:
+ Đối với tính từ dài 2 - 3 âm tiết, chỉ cần thêm more vào trước.
+ Thêm đuôi -er cho tính từ có 1 âm tiết hoặc 2 âm tiết tận cùng là –y (happy, lucky), -er(clever), -ow
(narrow), -le (simple, gentle), -ure (mature), -et (trừ quiet, polite)
+ Nếu tính từ tận cùng là –y thì khi thêm đuôi –er, -y sẽ chuyển thành –i (early → earlier, happy →
happier)
+ Nếu tính từ tận cùng là một phụ âm và trước phụ âm đó là nguyên âm thì ta gấp đôi phụ âm cuối
(big → bigger)
ĐẶC BIỆT: So sánh hơn có thể được nhấn mạnh bằng cách thêm much hoặc far trước tính từ hoặc
trạng từ đó.
Ex: His girlfriend is much/ far older than him.
d. So sánh nhất
- Tính từ/ trạng từ ngắn: S + V + the + short adj/adv -est + Noun/ Pronoun
Ex: Nam is the tallest boy in the class.
- Tính từ/ trạng từ dài: S + V + the most + long adj/adv + Noun/ Pronoun
Ex: Trung is the most handsome boy in the neighborhood.
 Bảng tính Từ So Sánh Bất Quy Tắc
Tính từ/ trạng từ Dạng so sánh hơn Dạng so sánh nhất Nghĩa
Good/well better the best tốt, tốt hơn, tốt nhất
Bad/badly worse the worst tệ, tệ hơn, tệ nhất
Far farther (US: further) the furthest xa, xa hơn, xa nhất
Lillte less the least ít, ít hơn, ít nhất
Many/much more the most nhiều, nhiều hơn, nhiều nhất
e. So sánh kém
* So sánh kém hơn
Dùng để thể hiện sự kém hơn giữa 2 người, vật, hiện tượng.
- So sánh kém hơn đối với tính/trạng từ:
S + V + less + adj/adv + than + noun/pronoun
= S + V + not as + adj/adv + as + noun/pronoun
This book is less interesting than that book. (Quyển sách này ít thú vị hơn quyển kia.)
This book is not as interesting as that book. (Quyển sách này không hay bằng quyển kia.)
- So sánh kém hơn danh từ:
 Danh từ đếm được (Countable noun):
S + V + fewer + plural noun + than + noun/pronoun
Ex: I bought fewer cakes than my sister. (Tôi đã mua ít bánh hơn chị gái tôi.)
 Danh từ không đếm được (Uncountable noun):
S + V + less + uncountable noun + than + noun/pronoun/ clause
Ex: I have less spare time than Hoa. (Tôi có ít thời gian rảnh hơn Hoa.)
* So sánh kém nhất
Dùng để thể hiện sự kém nhất giữa 3 người, vật, hiện tượng trở lên.
S + V + the least + tính/ trạng từ + noun/ pronoun/ clause

WRITING – PART 3 (Phần viết thư - viết khoảng 100 từ)
1. I went to a great restaurant with my family last night. Which do you prefer:
eating at home or in restaurants? Tell me about your favourite place to eat.
(Tôi đã đi ăn ở nhà hàng với gia đình vào tối qua. Bạn thích ăn tại nhà hay ăn ở nhà
hàng? Hãy nói về nơi mà bạn thích ăn.)
Hi Cindy,
How have you been? I am really happy to receive your letter. I am writing this letter to to
tell you about my favourite place to eat.
Sometimes, I go out to have dinner in a restaurant with my family and my friends. But I
prefer eating at home to eating in a restaurant. Because eating at home is much cheaper
than eating at a restaurant. Instead of spending money for expensive meals at a
restaurant, I can prepare for a meal and save lots of money for other purposes. In
addition, I would like to spend time with my family. While having dinner at home, we can
share our happiness and troubles in jobs. The food we prepare at home is healthier than
those which are severed in restaurants. We can eat food we like and the food is good for
our health.
I am looking forward to have your letter back.
Best wishes,
Jack

your favourite subjects at school are history and art. Why don’t you like maths? Tell me
more in next letter.
My subjects I study at school are Maths, Biology, History. They are interesting. In the
future, I would like to study English. Because it is an international language. We can
make friends with many people in the world. Beside that, I can get a good job if I speak
English well. How about you? What would you like to be in the future?

I am really happy to hear from you. How are you? I hope your everything will be great.
You told me that you might have a school trip to my country next week. I am glad to hear
that.
The best time of year to have a trip is summer because we will have freetime. I am living
in BMT City. Therefore, I would like to recommend you some interesting activities.
Firstly, we will go to Dray Nur waterfall and Lak Lake. Then, we are going to ride
elephants, drink coffee, visit the famous museum. Finally, we will eat special food at
street stalls.
4. I’m starting a new school next term and I’m worried because I won’t know anyone
there. What do you think are the best ways to make new friends? Please write back
soon.
(Tôi sắp chuyến đến học một ngôi trường mới vào kỳ tới và tôi lo lắng bởi vì tôi không
quen một ai ở đó cả. Bạn có thể gợi ý giúp tôi những cách tốt nhất để kết bạn? Mong
bạn hồi âm sớm.)
I know it’s very hard to start a new school, especially making new friends, but I think you
can find ways to do it. First, you should meet with somebody, then talk to him about
music, films, games, and something like that. Your friend and you will be close. It is easy
for you because you are a very interesting and handsome boy. Don’t worry. You can do
it. Please write me when you’ll have a new friend.
5. I know you often go to the cinema. Tell me about the last film you saw and

(Tôi biết bạn thường xuyên đi xem phim. Hãy nói cho tôi về bộ phim gần đây nhất mà
bạn xem và bạn có thích bộ phim đó không.)
I am glad to receive your letter. Now I am writing to tell you about the last film I saw.
The name of the film was “The girl from yesterday”. It is a 2017 Vietnamese romantic
comedy film. There are two famous actors: Miu Le – the girl from yesterday and Ngo
Kien Huy – the boy today. They fell in love each other when studying at school. I have
never seen such a wonderful and meaningful film before. I learnt from the film very
much. I think you will enjoy it.
6. In your next letter, could you give me some advice? Tell me how you keep fit
and healthy!
(Bạn có thể cho tôi vài lời khuyên về cách giữ cơ thể cân đối và khỏe mạnh.)
How are you? I am very happy to get your letter. I will give you some advice to keep fit
and healthy. Those are some experiences from me. It is easy to keep fit and stay
healthy. There are many ways to keep fit. First of all, doing exercise regularly will help
you to stay in shape, young and healthy longer. You can start by jogging for 20 minutes
after dinner or early in the morning. If you don’t like the gym, you can go swimming.
Secondly, your diet plays an important role. In order to have a good health, you should
eat more fruits, vegetables and avoid fast food. Finally, your work and life-style are also
factors which affect your health. You should work and relax, don’t work too hard, don’t
play too much. Relaxation improves your health physically and mentally.
7. I want to find out about music in your country. Are there many live concerts?
What music do you like listening to?
I’d love to find out that you want to know about music in my country. There are many
kinds of music in VN: folk music, classical music, yellow music or red music… but the
new generation of people in VN prefer modern music – pop music or rock. There are
many live concerts, from the city to the countryside. If you live in Ha Noi or HCM city,
you can go to live concerts every week.
In my free time, I’m keen on listening to Pop music. I love My Tam. She had been
awarded best Asian Artist Award in 2012 MAMA prize. Most of her songs is about love
and life around us. And what about you? What is your favourite music? and how is music
in your country. Tell me in your next letter.
8. I’m glad you like learning English. Your taecher sounds really nice – and your
friends do too! Tell me all about your English classes.
I am glad to receive your letter. I wish you can join my English class. It is the most
interesting English class that I have ever attended. My teacher is very funny and friendly.
He answers all of my questions, although some of them are very silly. He teaches about
grammar and speaking, we also learn by listening popular songs or watching some films.
That makes me more interested in English.
My English class is good, my classmates are so good too. I am in a group with 3

persons in different countries we practice speaking and discussing about country and
culture. It helps us inprove our English.
9. You’re keen on cooking, aren’t you? What meals do you like to cook? Where do
you buy all your food from?
Today I am going to tell you about my cook. I love to cook home meals, because they
are health, less fattening and have more nutritions to eat. And you know that my
favourite foods are soup, chicken noodles and vegetables. Do you like them? Cooking to
me is also an enjoyable thing to do. But a lot of people are so busy that they do not have
enough time to cook. So, they often eat fast food. As you know, fast food is not good for
our health. I buy food from supermaket where we can choose everything we like. I often
go to the supermarket twice a week. I hope you and your family will have a healthy life
style.
10. Could you give me some advice? I want to travel around your country for a
month. Where should I go? What should I see?
I am very happy to know that you are coming to my country for a month. I think you
should go to Hanoi capital. The weather is cold so I advise you to bring warm clothes.
Here you can visit some beautiful places such as Sword Lake, Quoc Tu Giam literature,
Ho Chi Minh Museum. In addition, you can try special food as Pho-noodle soup, sticky
green rice. You can go shopping in the old Quarter. Besides, you should exchange your
currency to Vietnam Dong at banks. How about travelling? You can take a taxi. I am
looking forward to seeing you.
11. In your last letter, you said you had made some changes to your room. What
does it look like now? What new furniture have you bought? Tell me about it!
Thanks for your letter. I am very happy to know that you are interested in some changes
in my room. I will tell you about it. Firstly, I repainted my wall in white. This color makes
my room larger and brighter. To make the wall more colorful, I drew some flowers on it.
Then I bought a new curtain to decorate my window. In addition to, I hung a wind chime
in the window. I rearranged my furniture and bought some things such as: a mirror and
some private things in the cupboard. It is very nice. I like it very much. What about your
room? Tell me about it.
12. I know I spend too much time watching television! How much television do
you watch? What else do you do to relax?
I know you spend too much time watching TV. I think you should stop watching TV too
much because you will waste of your time and maybe get over-weight. I usually sit
before TV only one hour per day to watch news or weather forecast, sometimes I follow
a favorite film on HBO channel. Then, I get away from TV. When I want to relax, I listen
to music, sometimes I go shopping or walk in the park. It helps me comfortable and
happy.
13. I guess there are many traditional festivals in your country. What is the most
important one? Why do people celebrate this festival? Write and tell me all about
it!
Long time no see. How are you these days? I am going to tell you about the most
important traditional festival in Vietnam. It is certainly Tet holiday. It is around in January
or February with solar calendar. We celebrate the first three days of New Year. The first
day of new year marks the beginning of Tet. Before Tet holiday, we often clean and
decorate our houses, try to pay all our debts or everything we borrowed, buy new
clothes, buy foods and drinks… one of the most important traditional foods for Tet is
Chung cake. It is made from sticky rice, bean and pork. Children often get lucky money
from their parents and other adults visit grandparents, relatives to wish each other good
luck. What about the most important holiday in your country?
Hope to hear from you soon?
14. I have just bought a new computer game. Do you like playing games on the
computer – or have you got a Play Station? What else do you use the computer
for?
I am glad to hear that you have just bought a new computer game as you know, I also
like playing games on computer a lot. I have got a play station on the internet too. I play
it once a week. But I think that we should not spend much time playing games because it
is waste of time. And if you are addicted to the games, you can not do anything except
thinking about it all day so I think we should control ourselves well when playing games
on the computer. Use your computer in your work, your study instead of playing games.
15. It is so hot here! What is the weather like in your country at the moment? What
outdoor activities are you able to do at this time of year? Tell me about it.
Vietnam is a tropical country and we have 4 seasons. With a hoodie or a cardigan, you can go
out without worrying about the weather. Sometimes, there are some light rains, they last just a
few minutes so you do not need an umbrella because they can not make you wet.
In Spring, Vietnamese people have a habit of going to the pagoda or temple to pray for
their health and the convenience in their business. I hope my letter is helpful to you.
Could you tell me about your country? I am waiting for your next letter.
16. I want to earn some money at the weekends, so I’m looking for a part-time job

your advice!

think it is a good idea and I support it. However, you should carefully consider before
making a final decision. First, I think that having a part time job can help you learn how
to earn money and have working experiences. Second, you have a chance to make new
friends. However, having a part time job will affect to your study, you should stop
working and focus on your primary work.
When you make your final decision, write and tell me soon.

In my opinion, you should go with your family this summer. Because parents are always
busy, they don’t have much time as us. Why don’t you go with them? You can have a
nice trip with your parents. To change atmosphere, you should go to a countryside. I
think it is suitable for family. And you can go on holiday with your friends on other
occasion.
23. Next month, I’m moving with my family to a different area. I have to choose
between going to a small school in the countryside or a large school in the centre
of town. What should I do?
You told me that you are moving with your family to a different area. I think you should
choose a school in the centre of town. Because it will have many advantages. In my
opinion, teachers of school in town are more, maybe there will be highly qualified.
Material facilities are better. But if you want a school in the countryside. It’s not problem.
So, you should think clearly. You have to know what is better to you.
24. We had dinner at a new restaurant yesterday. It was great! How often do you
eat out? What is your favourite restaurant like?
I received your letter this morning. Someone else already told me that the restaurant you
went to is a very nice place. I really like going there. We often eat out at “BBQ
restaurant” at weekends. It has many good views, everything is good. The food is very
delicious. Services can not agree more. If you come to my house I will take you to come
there. I think you will like it.
25. I enjoy my new job but I sit at a computer all day now. I do not get much
exercise. What do you think I should do to keep fit?
I am glad to hear that you have a new job but it is really unhappy when you sit a
computer all day.
I think you should do some simple exercise while you are working. You can stretch your
arms and legs in order to relax your musles. Youshould have a good diet. Eat more
healthy food for lunch and dinner. Avoid those food that are rich in fats and oils.
In my opinion, you should do more exercise in the gym after a work day. Because doing
excerise helps us be healthy.
26. I have got one close friend who I spend a lot of time with. What about you? Tell
me about your friends. How important are they to you?
You told me that you’ve one close friend who you spend a lot of time with. Can you tell
me more about your friend in next letter? I’ve got a lot of friends. My team is about ten
members. We often go fishing, go shopping, go to the cinema together in our free time.
Sometimes, we go to the nice coffee shop to chat. All of them are very funny. I’m really
happy to have them. They are all to important for me. They’re always by my side
anyway. I will take you to meet them if we have a chance.
27. Tell me about TV in your country. Are the programmes interesting? How much
TV do you watch? Do people watch too much TV these days?
I am really glad to receive your letter.
You asked me about TV in my country. Well, it is very good. These days, reality shows
and comedy show are among he most popular TV programme. Fans – audience of any
age from children to the elderly feel interactive and familiar with competitors while that of
comedy shows generally want to be entertained with jokes and laughters. I often watch
music channels such an MTV or V_channel. These channels have a lot of videos
everyday. Sometimes, I vote for the Top 20 songs of each week. And how about TV in
your country?
Tell me in the next letter.
28. I live in a really busy street. What is it like where you live? If you where able to
move, where would you like to live?
I am living in a house of the suburbs of Ha Noi. It is not big very much but comfortable
and convenient because it is near my place of work. Country life is very different from
city life. As we see the air in the country is much fresher. On the other hand, there are
not many houses here. That makes it peaceful and quiet. The population in the city is
very crowded. The traffic jam is always busy, especially in rush hours, so the city is
extremely noisy. On the contrary, the condition of living and studing in the city is much
better than in the country.
For me, I prefer country life than city life. How about? Tell me in next letter.
29. I have just finished reading a really good book. What kinds of thing do you
enjoy reading? Do you prefer books or magazines? Tell me something about a
famous writer from your country.
You told me that you have just finished reading a really good book. Can you tell me the
name of the book? I also want to read. And now me too, I have just finished reading a
great book. This book is my the best one and I read it a few times. In my case, the kinds
of my good readings are romantic, comedy and horor. Beside that, I often read
magazines, because we can know more information in the world.
There are some famous writers from Vietnam such as: Ngo Tat To, Nguyen Du, Nguyen
Dinh Chieu, Nguyen Nhat Anh, Nam Cao. I really admire them.
30. I have just joined a film club. We watch and discuss films from different
countries. What kinds of films are popular in your country? Can you suggest a
good film for our club to watch? Why do you like it?
You told me that you have just joined a film club. You can watch and discuss films from
different countries. I am very happy to hear that.
In Vietnam, people like comedy, hictoric, detective, romantic films. For me, I am keen on
comedy films, because it helps me relax and funny. I know a good film, Red Heart, it is a
detective film. I think you should watch that film and tell it to your club.
31. I have won some prize money in a competition, and I am not sure not to do. My
family think I should save the money, but I want too spend it all on an exciting
holiday. What should I do?
You told me that you have won some money prize in a competition I am very glad to
hear it. Congratulations! If you are not sure what to do, you also think clearly about your
decision. Save the money? I think it is a good idea. You can use it if you’ve necessary.
About spending it all on exciting holiday. I think it is not good. To prepare for a nice
holiday, you need to consider whether many people agree or not. Because you can use
a half of the money instead of all of it. And the other you should save. Tell me about your
decision in the next letter.
32. I can not decide whether to buy a new bicycle from a shop or on the Internet.
Where do you think I should buy it? Is it better to buy some things from shops?
Do you buy things on the Internet?
You told me that you can not decide whether to buy a new bicycle from a shop or on the
Internet. I am ready to answer your question.
In my opinion, you should buy a new bicycle from a shop. Because you can see it better,
right? Maybe you prove it. I think buying some things from shop is better than buying on
the Internet. I do not usually buy things on the Internet. I often go to the shops to buy
twice a week. Because we can see clearly and maybe go shopping help us relax.
Tell me about your decision on the next letter.
