LESSON 1: OVERVIEW
PRONUNCIATION
Pronunciation is one of the most important and difficult problem that non-native
speakers have to face when studying English. (Phát âm là một trong những vấn
đề quan trọng và khó khăn mà những người học ngôn ngữ phải đối mặt khi học
tiếng Anh)
Before we start, let’s cover some International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) basics.
(Trước khi chúng ta bắt đầu, hãy cùng nắm qua một vài đặc điểm của bản của
Bản phiên âm quốc tế)
What is the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) used for? Learners of foreign
languages use the IPA to check exactly how words are pronounced. Each IPA
symbol represents a sound. For example, a learner of English can use the IPA to
find out exactly what sounds are in a word and where the word stress is. It is an
extremely helpful tool for people learning to speak another language. (Bản
phiên âm quốc tế là gì? Những người học ngữ sữ dụng bảng IPA để kiểm tra
chính xác những từ vựng được phát âm như thế nào. Mỗi ký hiệu trong bảng
IPA tượng trưng cho một âm. Ví dụ, một người học tiếng anh sữ dụng bạng IPA
để tìm ra một cách chính xác các âm tiết nào trong một từ và nó được nhấn âm
ở đâu. Nó là một công cụ cực kỳ hữu ích cho những người học một ngoại ngữ
khác)
Why is the IPA important for learning English pronunciation? The International
Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is very important for learners of English because
English is not a phonetic language. The spelling of an English word doesn’t tell
us how to pronounce it. In English, several different letter combinations can be
used to spell the same sound and there are silent letters. The IPA tells us the
correct sounds and word stress for pronouncing English words.
(Vậy tại sao bảng phiên âm quốc tế lại quan trọng cho việc học phát âm? Bảng
phiên âm quốc tế (IPA) rất quan trọng cho người học Tiếng Anh bởi vì Tiếng
Anh không phải là ngôn ngữ thuộc ngữ âm. Nói cho dễ hiểu thì tức là có những
từ nhìn vậy chứ không phải phát âm như mình nghĩ và ngược lại, nghe vậy chứ
chưa chắc đã viết như vậy. Trong tiếng Anh, một số tổ hợp chữ cái khác nhau
có thể được sử dụng để đánh vần cùng một âm thanh và có những âm câm. IPA
cho chúng ta biết các âm tiết chính xác và trọng âm, nhấn âm của từ để phát âm
đúng các từ tiếng Anh)
57
- The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) will be divided into two main
parts: Vowels (Nguyên âm) and Consonants (Phụ âm)
+ Vowels are used to make sound in spoken words, the main rhyme
(Nguyên âm là để tạo thành tiếng trong lời nói phát ra, là vần chính )
~ We divide Vowels into two forms: Monophthongs (Nguyên âm
đơn) and Diphthongs (Nguyên âm đôi)
~ In Monophthongs, we continue to divide into: short vowels
(Nguyên âm ngắn) and long vowels (Nguyên âm dài)
+ Consonants are things that are combined with vowels to read out loud,
into complete words. (Phụ âm là thứ đi kèm kết hợp với nguyên âm để đọc
thành tiếng, thành từ hoàn chỉnh )
~ In Consonants, we divide into 3 main types: Unvoiced consonants
(Phụ âm vô thanh), Voiced consonants (Phụ âm hữu thanh) and the
remaining consonants (Các phụ âm còn lại) *Khi nào học tới bài phụ âm
mình sẽ giải thích phụ âm vô thanh, hữu thanh là gì nha hihi ^^*
58
I. General Structure (Cấu trúc tổng quát)
1. Syllables (Âm tiết):
- Syllable is a unit of pronunciation having one vowel sound, with or without
surrounding consonants, forming the whole or a part of a word; e.g., there are
two syllables in water and three in inferno. (Âm tiết là một đơn vị phát âm có
một nguyên âm chính ở giữa, có thể được bao quanh bởi những phụ âm để tạo
thành một phần của một từ hoặc tạo thành một từ hoàn chỉnh luôn. Ví dụ: Từ
Water có 2 âm tiết, Inferno có 3 âm tiết. Nói cho dễ hiểu, một tiếng được phát
ra là một âm tiết )
- General Structure of a syllable (Cấu trúc tổng quát của một âm tiết):
Initial consonant _ Vowel _ Closed Consonant
Phụ âm đầu_Nguyên âm_Phụ âm cuối
Lưu ý: Trong một âm tiết, có những từ có đầy đủ phụ âm đầu và phụ âm cuối,
có những từ sẽ không có phụ âm đầu hoặc phụ âm cuối hoặc không có cả hai
luôn, nhưng nguyên âm thì bắt buộc phải có, không có nguyên âm thì sẽ không
hình thành nên một từ.
Example:
- Cat /kæt/: /k/ is the initial consonant, /æ/ is the main vowel and /t/ is the
closed consonant. This word has only one syllable
- Teacher /ˈtiː tʃɚ/: This word has 2 syllables. The first syllable is /ti:/ and the
second one is /tʃɚ/.
+ In the syllable /ti:/ and also /tʃɚ/ you can see there is no closed
consonant, just Initial consonant and Vowel
- Beautiful /ˈbjuː.də.fəl/: This word has 3 syllables.
Could you tell some words which has 4 or 5 syllables?
2. Stress (Trọng âm):
Stresses are stressed syllables that are read louder and more clearly than other
sounds in the word. Stress is a unique feature in English, helping words and
sentences when pronounced have clear intonation. In the dictionary, if the stress
falls on any syllable, there will be a comma before that syllable. (Trọng âm là
những âm tiết được nhấn mạnh, đọc to và rõ hơn các âm khác trong từ. Trọng
âm là một nét độc đáo trong tiếng Anh, giúp từ và câu khi phát âm có ngữ điệu
rõ ràng. Ở từ điển, trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết nào thì trước âm tiết đó sẽ có dấu
phẩy)
This is a fundamental and important part of learning English pronunciation. To

pronounce correctly and like a native speaker, you must stress correctly and
naturally in each word and sentence (Đây là một phần cơ bản và quan trọng
trong quá trình học phát âm tiếng Anh. Muốn phát âm chuẩn và giống như
người bản xứ, bạn bắt buộc phải nhấn trọng âm một cách chính xác và tự nhiên
59
ở mỗi từ và câu)
Why do we have to learn Stresses?
1. Helps you pronounce correctly and have natural intonation (Giúp bạn
phát âm chuẩn và có ngữ điệu tự nhiên)
When speaking, native speakers often emphasize the accent very naturally.
Wouldn't you be more interested in hearing a sentence or word with a rising and
falling intonation than a steady intonation? (Khi nói, người bản xứ thường nhấn
trọng âm rất tự nhiên. Bạn sẽ thích thú hơn khi nghe một câu hay một từ có ngữ
điệu lên xuống hơn là ngữ điệu đều đều đúng không?)
Therefore, speaking with accent helps you to speak standard English and is no
different from a native speaker. (Vì thế, nói có trọng âm giúp bạn nói tiếng Anh
chuẩn và không khác gì người bản xứ)
2. Helps you distinguish easily confused words. (Giúp bạn phân biệt được các
từ dễ nhầm lẫn)
In English, there are words that are spelled and pronounced the same, but have
different meanings. The main reason is in the stressed syllable. (Trong tiếng
Anh, có những từ tuy cách viết và phát âm giống nhau nhưng lại mang nghĩa
khác nhau. Nguyên nhân chính là ở âm tiết được nhấn trọng âm )
Therefore, mastering the rules of stress marking helps you distinguish easily
confused words. This is especially true in the Listening tests, because the test
taker can pronounce such words to test your ability (Vì thế, nắm chắc các quy
tắc đánh dấu trọng âm giúp bạn phân biệt những từ dễ nhầm lẫn. Điều này đặc
biệt trong các bài Listening, vì người ra đề có thể phát âm những từ như vậy để
kiểm tra khả năng của bạn )
3. Avoid misunderstandings in communication (Tránh hiểu nhầm trong
giao tiếp)
Because there are words with the same pronunciation but different stress,
knowing and using the correct basic stress markers helps you convey the right
idea when communicating. (Do có những từ phát âm giống nhau nhưng trọng
âm khác nhau nên việc biết và dùng đúng cách đánh dấu trọng âm cơ bản giúp
bạn truyền đạt đúng ý khi giao tiếp.)
A lot of unexpected situations happen when you press the wrong accent and you
certainly don't want to fall into that situation, right? (Rất nhiều tình huống “dở
khóc dở cười" xảy ra khi nhấn sai trọng âm và chắc chắn, bạn không muốn rơi
vào tình cảnh đó phải không nào?)
The target of this section is to help you to recognize the stress of the word when
you look at the pronunciation of a word. (Mục tiêu của phần này là giúp bạn
nhận ra trọng âm của từ khi bạn nhìn vào cách phát âm của một từ )
Example: Wonderful /ˈwʌn.də.fəl/. As you can see in the pronunciation of this
word, there are 3 syllables, and before the first syllable /wʌn/ you can see a
60
comma /ˈwʌn/. What does that mean? It means you have to stress on that
syllable when you pronounce the word.
(Như bạn có thể thấy cái phần phiên âm của từ này, thì từ này có 3 âm tiết:
“quấn đờ phồ”, bạn nhìn trong phiên âm, trước cái âm / wʌn/ nó có cái dấu
phẩy, đó là dấu hiệu nhận biết là mình sẽ nhấn cái âm đó, nhớ nha, trước âm
nào có dấu phấy tức là mình sẽ nhấn trọng âm âm đó)
Let’s try with other examples: You have to answer how many syllables that the
word has and which syllable you will stress on. (Thử làm vài ví dụ nhen, nhiệm
vụ của bạn là coi thử từ đó có bao nhiêu âm tiết và mình nhấn lên âm thứ mấy
nha )
- Picture /ˈpɪk. tʃər/
- English /ˈɪŋ.ɡlɪʃ/
- Information /ɪn. fəˈmeɪ. ʃən/

cá ch đọ c giờ cũ ng khá đơn giả n, ai cũ ng cả m thấ y như rấ t quen thuộ c.
 Cách đọc giờ hơn
Có 2 cá ch an có thể sử dụ ng để đọ c giờ hơn trong tiếng Anh
 Cá ch 1: Đọc giờ + số phút
Ví dụ :
8:25 => It’s eight twenty-five. (Bâ y giờ là tá m giờ hai lă m.)
2:39 => It’s two thirty-nine. (Bâ y giờ là hai giờ ba mươi chín.)
 Cá ch 2: số phút + past + số giờ
Ví dụ :
8:25 => It’s twenty five past eight. (Bây giờ là hai mươi lă m giờ tá m.)
2:39 => It’s thirty-nine past two. (Bâ y giờ là hai giờ ba mươi chín.)
* Lưu ý:
Khi giờ là phú t 15 hơn, ta có thể sử dụ ng: (a) quarter past
Ví dụ :
5:15 => It’s a quarter past five. (Bây giờ là nă m giờ mườ i lă m.)
9:15 => It’s a quarter past nine. (Bâ y giờ là chín giờ mườ i lă m.)
 Cách đọc giờ kém
Ta đọ c giờ kém khi số phú t hơn vượ t quá 30 phú t. Thô ng thườ ng chú ng ta
sẽ nó i số phú t trướ c
Cô ng thứ c: số phút + to + số giờ
Ví dụ :

7:50 => It’s ten to eight. (Bâ y giờ là tá m giờ kém mườ i.)
 Cách đọc giờ chẵn

It’s + number (số giờ) + o’clock
Ví dụ:
It’s 9 o’clock. (Bâ y giờ là chín giờ .)
See you at 11 o’clock. (Hẹn gặ p bạ n lú c mườ i mộ t giờ .)
Trong nhữ ng tình huố ng giao tiếp thâ n mậ t, suồ ng sã , có thể lượ c bỏ bớ t đi từ

Bài mẫu 1: Viet Nam team

In 2018, the U23 Vietnam Football Team left an unforgettable mark in the hearts of
Vietnamese football lovers. It was also the generation of players that I most
impressed with the U23 team.
In the winter of 2018, U23 Vietnam participated in the Asian U23 tournament. The
team with familiar names such as Cong Phuong, Van Toan, Xuan Truong,… was
trained by coach Park Hang Seo. The team gradually, step by step, went to the final
round before the surprise of the other teams. It has been a long time that Vietnamese
people have had the opportunity to scream, to cheer, to hope and undergo strong
emotions. In the last match, at Changzhou full of white snow, the team lost in the last
minute of injury time, making the fans regret. However, everyone was still very
happy and proud of U23 Vietnam. When the players returned Vietnam, thousands of
115
people picked up all the streets. The team has received the State’s commendation
medal. Hope that in the future, the U23 team will continue to have skillful players
who always try hard like this generation.
Bài mẫu 2: Barcelona team
Thinking of Spanish football, we cannot mention the Barcelona Football Club.
Barcelona, colloquially known as Barça, is a Spanish professional football club
based in Barcelona, Founded in 1899, the club has become a symbol of Catalan
culture with the slogan “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). This slogan also
appears on seats at Camp Nou, the home stadium of FC Barcelona.
Domestically, Barcelona has won a record 74 trophies, including 26 La Liga – the
most popular tournament in Spanish. In international club football, the club also has
won 20 European and many worldwide titles. The club has a long-standing rivalry
with Real Madrid, and matches between the two teams are referred to as El Clásico.
Barcelona players have won a record number of Ballon d’Or awards. The football
team has gathered many starts like: Ronaldinho, Xavi, Messi, Neymar,… Barcelona
is also one of the most widely supported teams in the world, and the club has one of
the largest social media following in the world among sports teams.
With technical and skillful gameplay, Barca will still get more trophies in the future.

 HOW TO READ MATHEMATICS IN ENGLISH (CÁCH ĐỌC CÁC PHÉP TOÁN
TRONG TIẾNG ANH)
1. ADDITION:
8 + 4 =12
• Eight and four are twelve
• Eight and four makes twelve.
• Eight plus four equals twelve. (Theo ngô n ngữ toá n họ c)
2. SUBTRACTION:
30 – 7 = 23
• Seven from thirty is twenty-three.
• Thirty minus seven equals twenty-three. (ngô n ngữ toá n họ c)
3. MULTIPLICATION
5 x 6 = 30
• Five sixes are thirty.
• Five times six is thirty
118
• Five times six equals thirty
• Five multiplied by six equals thirty. (Ngô n ngữ toá n họ c)
4. DIVISION:
20 ÷ 4 = 5
 Four into twenty goes five (times).
 Twenty divided by four is/equals five. (Ngô n ngữ toá n họ c)
5. FRACTION (PHÂN SỐ):
+ When reading fractions in English, we always read the numerator (tử số ) by
the number. (Khi đọ c phâ n số trong tiếng Anh, chú ng ta luô n đọ c tử số bằ ng số
đếm)
Example: 1/3 = one third
3/5 = three fifths
½ = one half
+ When reading the denominator (mẫ u số ), you need to be a little more careful.
For fractions with numerator less than 10 and denominator less than 100, you
must use the ordinal number to read the denominator. For fractions with
numerator greater than 1, "s" must be added to the denominator. ( Khi đọ c mẫ u
số thì bạ n cầ n lưu ý hơn mộ t chú t. Vớ i cá c phâ n số có tử số nhỏ hơn 10, mẫ u số
nhỏ hơn 100, ban phả i sử dụ ng số thứ tự để đọ c mẫ u số . Cò n phâ n số có tử số
lớ n hơn mộ t thì phả i thêm “s” và o mẫ u số )
Example: 1/6 = one sixth
4/9 = four nineths
9/20 = nine twentieths
+ And when the numerator is 10 or more or the denominator is 100 or more,
the number must be used to read each digit below the denominator, between
the numerator and denominator there should be "over". (Cò n khi tử số từ 10
trở lên hoặ c mẫ u số từ 100 trở lên thì phả i dù ng số đếm để đọ c từ ng chữ số
mộ t ở dướ i mẫ u, giữ a tử số và mẫ u số cầ n có “over”)
Example: 12/5 = twelve over five
18/19 = eighteen over one nine
3/123 = three over one two three
+ When reading math operations in English, there are a few special cases that do not
follow the above rules, which are very common fractions and are often used in very
common abbreviations. (Khi đọ c cá c phép toá n trong tiếng Anh có mộ t và i trườ ng
hợ p đặ c biệt, khô ng tuâ n theo quy tắ c trên, đó là nhữ ng phâ n số rấ t thườ ng gặ p và
119
hay đượ c sử dụ ng cá ch nó i tắ t rấ t thô ng dụ ng )
Example: ½ = one half = a half
¼ = one fourth = one quarter = a quarter
¾ = three quarters
1/100 = one hundredth
1/1000 = one over a thousand = one thousandth
6. INDEX NUMBER (SỐ MŨ)
We will use numbers and the phrase “to the power of”.
Example: 2^5 = two to the power of five
5^6 = five to the power of six
However, with exponents 2 and 3, we also have another reading, like squared and
cubed in Vietnamese, which is "squared" and "cubed" (Tuy nhiên vớ i số mũ 2 và mũ
3 thì chú ng ta cũ ng có cá ch đọ c khá c, giố ng như bình phương và lậ p phương trong
tiếng Việt đấy, đó là “squared” và “cubed”):
Example: 10^2 = ten squared; 10^3 = ten cubed

8 Easy Steps To Effective Reading:
1. Warm up your brain. Nothing numbs comprehension like rushing through a
to-do list at breakneck speed. Before starting your reading time, take a short
break after the last task, and let your mind relax. Then, ask yourself: What do I
already know about this text? What do I want to get from it (besides a passing
grade)? How is the topic relevant to my life? Pick up the reading itself only after
considering these questions.
2. Sweep the chapter. Call it “sweeping,” “skimming,” or “scanning”—but do a

quick all-over preview before actually reading. Note what jumps out at your
passing glance, especially anything that is visually emphasized; these are points
to keep in mind as you read the passage thoroughly.
3. Write as you read. Whether directly in the book or on a separate tablet,

underline or write down key points and what supports them. This not only
ensures you won’t lose them entirely; the physical action of marking helps your
brain store the information on the spot.
4. Look up words you don’t understand. Don’t (as Charles Schulz put it)
“bleep right over” strange-to-you words, nor rely solely on context to decipher
them; you may miss some important nuances. Many electronic files allow you
to simply tap for on-the-fly definitions; otherwise, if you don’t want to
interrupt reading flow by turning to a dictionary, add the word to your notes
and mark it “look up as soon as possible.”
5. Ask questions. Consider: Why do things unfold as they do? What

weaknesses does the hero have? Can you find points of empathy with the bad
guys? (Even in nonfiction, there are “good guys” and “bad guys,” in the form of
ideas that do or don’t support the author’s viewpoint.) Where do you agree or
disagree with the points the author makes? Why?
6. Look for answers. Going beyond points 4 and 5, note what you already
knew about the subject, what new facts or perspectives you have acquired, and
what else you want to look up. Then, consider how all this will help you
understand others and make your unique mark on the world.
162
7. Turn chapter titles and headings into questions. To maximize your
learning experience, go over the reading once more, paying special attention to
titles and other headings—and covering any additional questions these bring
to mind. “Don’t Believe the Experts”—why? “Learn to Sew in Three Hours”—
how?
8. Understand what you are reading. Finally, review your notes once more;
schedule next steps in solving any still-unanswered questions; define in 100
words or less what the author intended and what you’ve learned—and pat
yourself on the back for being an active reader!

LESSON 56: IELTS

SPEAKING
 WHAT IS IELTS SPEAKING?
IELTS Speaking is a face-to-face, informal discussion with an IELTS examiner, and
is the same for both Academic and General Training. The test is divided into 3 parts
and is designed to test your pronunciation, fluency, grammar and vocabulary.
 Top 5 IELTS Speaking Tips
Tip 1: Speak some English every day.
It is better to practice a little bit every day and improve your skills gradually than to
speak your native language all week until you have IELTS class.
Tip 2: Ask the examiner questions if you don’t understand.

Your IELTS Speaking test is meant to be like a normal conversation between 2
people. Therefore, if you don’t understand a word you can ask the examiner to
explain what it means. Just say ‘I’m sorry, could you explain what X means?’
You can also ask them to repeat the question. However, you can’t ask the examiner
to explain the whole sentence.
Tip 3: Do a 24-hour English warm up.

It takes most IELTS students 10-15 minutes to ‘warm-up’ and perform to the best of
their ability on test day. Just like an athlete needs to warm up before a sporting
event, you also need to warm up before your IELTS exam.
Therefore, you should speak, write, read and listen to English for 24 hours before
your IELTS Speaking test. Your family and friends might think you are crazy, but it
will make a huge difference to your score!
Tip 4: Give full answers.

‘Yes’ and ‘No’ are NOT satisfactory answers in your IELTS Speaking test – you
need to show the examiner how good your English is.
If you give very short answers, there is no way the examiner can know how good
171
you are. Therefore, you should try to extend your answers with explanations and
examples.
Tip5: Correct your mistakes.

People make small mistakes when they speak all the time, especially when they are
nervous in an exam. By correcting your mistakes as you make them, you can show
the examiner that you really do know your grammar and vocabulary.
When you make a small mistake, simply say sorry and repeat the sentence correctly.
 3 PARTS OF IELTS SPEAKING:
 IELTS Speaking Part 1
Part 1 is about YOU.
The examiner will ask you familiar, everyday questions about your life. This will
last around 4-5 minutes. See the links below for tips, sample questions and answers
for Part 1.
Part 2 is sometimes called the ‘long turn’.
You will be given a cue card and you will have 1 minute to prepare your answer.
You will then be asked to speak for 1 to 2 minutes.
Part 3 is more abstract.
This is your opportunity to really develop your answers and discuss the issues
brought up by the examiner. The topic will be linked to the topic you discussed in
Part 2, and this will last 4-5 minutes.
