VIII. Alex is writing an email to Mai to introduce some of the places of interest in his home town,
Newquay. Use the words/ phrases given to complete his email.

Sample
Dear Mai, It’s great to know that you are coming to Newquay. It’s a small town on the Atlantic
coast in the south of England. There are lots of interesting places and activities here. The first thing I suggest is
surfing at Fistral Beach. It is one of the best places to surf in the UK. There are some good surf schools where
you can learn how to surf. I go surfing with my friends every weekend here. If you like water sports, you can go
kayaking, water-skiing or coasteering. Coasteering is different because it is rock climbing, jumping into the sea
and swimming in the same activity. It sounds dangerous, but don’t worry as always go with a special instructor.
If you like animals you can also visit the Blue Reef Aquarium and see many different fish and even sharks. You
can also go horse riding on the beach or visit Newquay Zoo. There are lots of other attractions too like mini golf
and bowling. When you come to my town, I hope I’ll be able to show you some of these places.

B. GRAMMAR
I. Câu tường thuật tiếng Anh là gì?
1. Câu trực tiếp:
– Xuất phát trực tiếp từ người nói
– Xuất phát từ người nghe truyền đạt lại chính xác những ý, từ ngữ mà người nói đã nói để tăng phần kịch tích
cho câu chuyện hoặc để nhấn mạnh những từ ngữ vui hoặc lạ mà người nói đã dùng.
– Lời nói trực tiếp thường nằm trong dấu ngoặc kép (dấu trích dẫn)
Ví dụ:
Marry says: “I feel angry and empty in the stomach.“
(Marry nói: “Tôi cảm thấy khó chịu và trống rỗng ở trong bụng.”)
Allen tells John: Marry said “I feel angry and empty in the stomach“.
(Allen nói với John: “Marry nói là ‘Tôi cảm thấy khó chịu và trống rỗng ở trong bụng.’’)
→ Câu nói I feel angry and empty in the stomach là lời nói trực tiếp được nói xuất phát từ Marry và được trích
dẫn nguyên câu từ Allen với động từ và chủ ngữ không thay đổi.
2. Câu tường thuật gián tiếp:
– Câu tường thuật tiếng Anh (reported speech) là lời tường thuật lại ý của người nói khi người tường thuật chỉ
muốn tường thuật lại thông tin, nội dung trong lời nói của người nói thay vì là từ ngữ.
– Câu tường thuật trong tiếng anh thường được sử dụng trong báo chí, báo cáo, văn bản hay lời nói tường thuật
lại một đoạn hội thoại.
Ví dụ: Nam says: ‘I feel tired’ → Nam said that he felt tired.
(Nam nói rằng cậu ấy cảm thấy mệt mỏi)
→ Câu Nam said that he is tired là câu tường thuật gián tiếp vì khi tường thuật lại, ta đã đổi chủ ngữ
từ I thành he và động từ feel thành felt.
II. Cấu trúc câu tường thuật gián tiếp trong tiếng Anh
Khi muốn thay đổi 1 câu trần thuật trực tiếp sang 1 câu trần thuật gián tiếp, chúng ta dùng động từ ‘say/tell’ để
giới thiệu. Đồng thời cần áp dụng các quy tắc sau:
1. Thay đổi thì của động từ
 Nếu động từ ở thì hiện tại đơn (say/ tell) thì động từ trong câu gián tiếp giữ nguyên thì trong câu trực tiếp.
Ví dụ:“I always drink coffee in the morning”, she says.
→ She says that she always drinks coffee in the morning.
Nếu động từ giới thiệu ở thì quá khứ (said/ told) thì động từ trong câu gián tiếp cần thay đổi như sau:
Thì trong lời nói trực tiếp Thì trong lời nói gián tiếp
Hiện tại đơn →Quá khứ đơn
“I like sciences.” He said (that) he liked sciences.
Hiện tại tiếp diễn
→ Quá khứ tiếp diễn
“I am staying for a few
She said (that) she was staying for a few days.
days.”
Hiện tại hoàn thành → Quá khứ hoàn thành
“Nick has left.” She told me (that) Nick had left.
Quá khứ đơn → Quá khứ hoàn thành
“Nick left this morning.” She told me (that) Nick had left that morning.
Quá khứ tiếp diễn → Quá khứ tiếp diễn/ Quá khứ hoàn thành tiếp diễn
“I was doing my She said (that) she was doing her homework/ she had been doing her
homework.” homework
Will → Would
“Man will travel to Mars.” He said (that) man would travel to Mars.
Can → Would
“We can swim.” They told us (that) they could swim.
May → Would
“We may live on the moon.” He said (that) We might live on the moon.
2. Đổi ngôi của đại từ nhân xưng, tính từ và đại từ sỡ hữu.
Trong lời nói trực tiếp Trong lời nói gián tiếp
i → he/ she
we → they
you → i/ he/ she
my → his/ her
our → their
your → my/ his/ her
mine → his/ hers
ours → theirs
3. Thay đổi các trạng từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn
Trạng từ trong câu trực tiếp Trạng từ trong câu gián tiếp
now →then
today → that day
here → there
this week → that week
tomorrow → the following day/ the next day
yesterday → the day before/ the previous day
last month →the month before/ the previous month
tonight →that night
ago → before
next week → the following week/ the week after
these → those
Ví dụ:
He said to me, “I and you will go with her father next week.”
He told me (that) he and I would go with her father the following week.
III. Cấu trúc Câu hỏi gián tiếp - Reported questions
a. Các quy tắc khi chuyển câu hỏi trực tiếp sang câu hỏi gián tiếp
- Động từ tường thuật được sử dụng trong Câu hỏi Gián tiếp thường là: asked, required, wondered, wanted to
know.
- Áp dụng quy tắc đổi Đại từ nhân xưng, tính từ sở hữu, đại từ sở hữu giống câu Trần thuật Gián tiếp.
- Áp dụng quy tắc đổi Thì của động từ giống câu Trần thuật Gián tiếp.
– Áp dụng quy tắc đổi các Trạng từ chỉ thời gian, nơi chốn giống câu Trần thuật Gián tiếp.
- Câu hỏi chuyển sang câu gián tiếp phải được chuyển về dạng KHẲNG ĐỊNH và lược bỏ dấu hỏi chấm.
b. Các dạng câu hỏi gián tiếp
Dạng Cấu trúc
S + asked/wondered/wanted to know + O +Wh-
+ S + V….
Ví dụ:
Câu hỏi Wh-Questions (câu hỏi bắt đầu bằng các từ để hỏi
He said to me, “Why did you go with her father
như: What, where, when, why, how…)
last week?”
→ He asked me why I had gone with her father
the week before.
S + asked/wondered/wanted to know + O +
if/whether + S + V….
Ví dụ:
Câu hỏi Yes/No Questions: Dùng “if hoặc whether”để bắt
He said to me, “Will you go with her father next
đầu câu hỏi Yes/No gián tiếp.
week?”
→ He asked me if/whether I would go with her

UNESCO World Heritage Site in Hue

The Complex of Hue Monuments is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in the city of Hue in central
Vietnam. Hue was founded as the Viet Nam capital city by Gia Long, the first king of the Nguyen Dynasty in
1802. It held this position for thirteen Nguyen kings until 1945.

The massive complex features hundreds of monuments and ruins, such as the Forbidden Purple City, once the
residence of the royal family and badly damaged during the Vietnam War, the Imperial City, royal tombs, the
flag tower, pagodas, temples, a library and museum.

Hue, located on the banks of the Huong River, (also known as the Perfume River) is about a hundred kilometres
north of Da Nang. Among the most impressive monuments in this former grand imperial capital are the Ngo
Mon Gate of the Imperial City which once was exclusively used by the royal family and their servants and
soldiers, the tomb of Emperor Minh Mang as well as the tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. In fact, many of the
monuments surrounding the royal buildings were constructed in the early 19th century and were modeled after
Beijing's Forbidden City. The wall that surrounds the citadel is six metres high and two and a half kilometres
long.

The historical complex is known not only for its rich architecture but also for its beautiful landscape setting.

Son Doong Cave

Located in the limestone mountains of Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Son Doong Cave was first found in
1991 by Ho Khanh, a local man. In 2009, the cave was explored and published by a group of scientists from
British Cave Research Association.

Son Doong Cave was formed from 2 to 5 million years ago, when the river flowed through the limestone
mountain area and was buried. The water eroded limestone and created an underground tunnel. In soft limestone
areas, the collapse of tunnel ceiling formed large holes which became giant domes afterward. The cave is about
200m high, 200m wide and at least 8 5km long. Especially, Son Doong consists of two entrances, which is
unique among explored caves in Phong Nha - Ke Bang National Park. Exploring the cave, visitors were
surprised with spectacular scenery of numerous stalactites of which some giant stalagmites are more than 70
metres high. Deep inside the cave exists a grandiose tropical jungle called “Garden of Eden" by the explorers.
The jungle is home to a diversifiedsystem of fauna and flora. Besides, the cave possesses a 2.5-kilometre
underground river. Not far from the “Garden of Eden” lies an enormous “pearl collection” consisting of tens of
thousands of small stone pieces in dry ponds, contributing to magnificent beauty of the cave.

Ha Long Bay: one of the greatest natural wonders of the world

There is a saying that if you have not visited Ha Long Bay, you have not yet been to Viet Nam. On the other
hand, we can say that if you have not visited Ha Long Bay, you have not yet seen the most beautiful place in the

Ha Long Bay has been twice recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1994 and in 2000, and also
that Ha Long Bay is in the second place in the worldwide competition of the World's Seven Natural Wonders.
1,969 limestone islands of various shapes, sizes, and in different green and amazing colours rise above the sea
level in an area of more than 1,500 square kilometers that creates this world heritage site Ha Long Bay still
keeps its historical and cultural values.

Ha Long Bay is as attractive and beautiful throughout the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Traveling on small sailboats among hundreds of limestone islands, one may visit the amazing Surprise Cave, the
floating fishing village, and see how the locals live, which are top of the list of things to do here. On Titov
Island, one may swim and relax on the beach or enjoy a kayaking programme to the nearby Luon Cave and
much more.

The experience of visiting Ha Long Bay is unforgettable, where you will see something that will stay in your
mind and eyes for years. You will enjoy meeting Vietnamese people and tasting their delicious food. You will
have fresh air all day and night, especially if you wake up early in the morning and watch the sun rise on the
