THANH HOA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING NONG CONG DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING -*** - IS IT IMPORTANT TO DEAL WITH THE STRUCTURES AND KNOW HOW TO USE THEM IN THE RIGHT WAY ? My full name: Nguyễn Thị Sỹ Truong Son Secondary School THANH HOA- 2017 SangKienKinhNghiem.net PART I: INTRODUCTION The reason: The world is changing faster and faster in the early 21st century in our everyday life For this reason, the Vietnamese people have to be ware of improving the knowledge and social skills in order to change a developing country into a developed country in the fastest way and we can afford our modern life As you know, English is an international language It is spoken in many corners in the world It is not only the first language of many countries but also the compulsary subject in the schools in all countries in the world So, it is becoming more and more important in modern life In addition, communication is the key to our modern life and it makes the world a small village To know how to use modern technology and inventions of the world is very important, so we need to use English in the right way Furthermore, English is more popular nowadays and a lot of Viet Namese people know how English is important Moreover, last year English was widen by A1group with English- Math- Physics in the entrance exam to university It made students happy, especially, students who love English because they have more opportunities Besides that, students have to pass the high school exam with Maths - Literature- English from this school year in Thanh Hoa province as well as all the provinces in Vietnam It makes a lot of Vietnamese people understand that English is not only an important subject but also a common language in modern life in Vietnam However, in some cities, English isn’t really used everyday Some people use it as a means of communication but many can’t or even never use Especially, our secondary students learn English at school, but they rarely speak English in the class In addition to this, many learners have difficulty in learning a foreign language and sometimes they find it boring in English classes Some don’t feel self-confident in public It is the fact that, in some secondary schools, teaching and learning English not concern oneself with English as much as we expect Because many students and their parents think that they will spend more time learning English when they are in high school and university as well as learning English in high school and university are more important and useful than learning Emglish in secondary schools Especially, my homevillage where I have taught is a poor village, students learn at school without the help of the mordern equipment, such as: listeningroom, earphones, projectors and so on So, English becomes quite dificult for them to learn and they not understand how it is deeply important SangKienKinhNghiem.net Students in all some secondary school prefer writing and reading tests to listening and speaking tests In all types of writing test, students usually have difficulty in rewriting exercises because there are a lot of forms in these exercises Therefore, many teachers and students usually learn by heart all the forms in order to this exercises It is a not good way for learners because it is too difficult for learners to remember all the forms So, learners usually have difficulties in rewriting sentences without changing the meaning One of the most important things is that the teacher should give students a good chance to speak English before the class, so she can check her student’s pronunciation and how exactly the grammar structures are used To this actively, it is very necessary for teacher to determine what they have to teach and how to deal with the structures in each lesson For these reasons above, I’d like to tell you how to deal with the structures and how to use them in the right way In my opinion, following these rules, not only will you teach new structures actively but also you will save time to other things in each lesson As a result, I choose the subject: “ Is it important to deal with the structures and how to use them in the right way? ’’ The purpose: With this aspect of studying how to deal with the stuctures and how to use them in the right way, I’d like to share my little experience innovation with you that will help students of the secondary school learn the use of the structure and can rewrite the sentence without changing the meaning more easily and effectively The participants and time: Students of class of Truong Son Secondary School School year: 2016- 2017 PART II: CONTENT Theoretical background In English, there are a lot of modal sentences and each unit has also other forms, so students usually have difficulty in remembering, dividing into the groups which have the same meaning and how to use them If the more teacher makes a list of modal sentences in lessons, the more students will have difficulty in their study When students get troubles in their study, it will make students impossible to learn well, so I choose this subject "Is it important to deal with the structures and know how to use them in the right way" SangKienKinhNghiem.net Practical background I am a teacher of English, I always try my best to selfstudy in many diferent ways, such as: reading reference books, learning online lessons on the internet, attending the other teacher's lessons and so on Because I want to find out the suitable method of teaching for all students, especially bad students and help them get good results During my lessons, attending the other teacher'slessons and checking students, I have known that rewriting sentences is very exciting for good students but difficult for bad students English has a lot of forms and students can rewrite a model sentence in other with the same meaning This makes some weak students feel nervous and not believe themselves in their rewriting sentences and they are also afraid of their results It is the fact that there are a lot of sentences which are not the same model sentences Many students have difficulty in rewriting them because they offer students who know how to use their knowledge actively and sometimes they base on students’knowledge in their real life Nowadays, there are many kinds of rewriting sentences I always want to help my students improve their writing skill because of all the reasons above In a word, I give some solutions in order to solve this problem I hope it will be useful for other teachers and students during their teaching and studying The solutions Instead of giving a list of model sentences, I divided into the following groups while teaching each lesson 3.1 Active and passive forms: * Make/let sb sth S + be + made/let + V(+to) + O Example: The teacher made him go out because of his mobiphone -> He was made to go out because of his mobiphone * Have sb sth have sth done get/ask/want/request sb to sth Usage: we use this form so as to depend on someone something for us Example: They had the porter carry their luggage to a taxi -> they had their luggage carried to a taxi by the porter I’m going to ask someone to mend my bicycle ->I’m going to have my bicycle mended * Passive active Example: The store was opened in 1932 by John -> John opened the store in 1932 They bought this book last week SangKienKinhNghiem.net -> This book was bought by them lastweek * People said/thought/ considered… that……… -> It was said/thought/considered…that ……… -> S + passive of verb + V(+ to) Usage: we can rewrite this form by two ways: Example: People said that she is American -> It was said that she is American -> She was said to be American People thought that the children were kidnapped -> It was thought that the children were kidnapped -> The children were thought to be kidnapped * Can/have to/ must/ should/ ought to/ might/be able to/ be going to/…… + be + V(pp) Example: Her parents used to take her to the zoo at weekends -> Her used to be taken to the zoo by her parents at weekend Are you going to buy a laptop next week?

teaching good students, I realized that we should divide the model sentences into groups which have the same meaning and usage instead of making a list of model sentences for students After that, we should give students exercises to practice and then give them some situations in the lessons and sometimes in the life This makes students more active in their study and it also becomes more attractive to students Moreover, it helps students understand how to use the structures to write the second sentences without changing the meaning of the first sentence more easily Students not rewrite them by learning by heart They use their knowledge to rewrite sentences Furthermore, students are not afraid of rewriting form They are really interested in doing them They actively find, exchange and other forms of rewriting sentences After I had researched, selfstudied and especially taught students using this method for a long time, I realized that students’results are better As a result, students did the three 15-minite tests better 17 SangKienKinhNghiem.net The result of the first 15-minute test: Total 40 Mark 0-3 % 15(37.5%) Mark 4-5 Mark6-8 % 20(50%) % 5(12.5%) Mark 9-10 % The result of the second 15-minute test: Total 40 Mark 0-3 % 10(25%) Mark 4-5 Mark 6-8 % 15(37.5%) % 10(25%) Mark 9-10 % 5(12.5%) The result of the third 15-minute test: Total 40 Mark 0-3 % 3(7.5%) Mark 4-5 % 7(17.5%) Mark 6-8 % 20(50%) Mark 9-10 % 10(25%)  After three checkings, my students understand basic English forms and know how to use them At this time, my students are interested in learning English and they are fond of doing rewriting exercises So, their results are getting better and better Advantages and limitations: 6.1 Advantages: + It can widely be applied and has high feasibility + Students feel self-confident and creative They are interested in the lessons + It helps the teacher save time 6.2 Limitations: + Students not have enough equipment to support their learning English when they are at home + They have no chance to communicate with native speakers + The awareness of the language level is low because most students live in the country PART III ADJUSTMENTS Throughout the teaching process, I have some adjustments to share with you I will be really difficult for the teacher to teach effectively if students not like English or they don’t concentrate on it For me when teaching a lesson, I gave students clear instructions, helped the weak ones, motivated them as much as possible I tried to make the lesson easier and more interesting, so students got involved and paid more attion to it Moreover, I helped them to find the best ways of learning a foreign language and gave them a chance to practise pronouncing the words better 18 SangKienKinhNghiem.net PART IV: CONCLUSION Nobody can not deny that the benefits of understanding English forms clearly because it is very useful They help us write and speak English correctly And when we understand all the modal sentences clearly, we can rewrite other forms more easily In the past, we always tried our best to translate into Vietnamese and then rewrite them by using words by words or we always tried our best to learn by heart all the modal sentences without understanding So, we can rewrite sentences which are the same words and meaning and we can not rewrite sentences which we have met Nowadays, we are not afraid of our results which are not the same keys We only choose the best way to rewrite When they are choose the best anwer form, we can choose the correct answer fast and more easily because we understand English forms clearly And it brings not only more benefits in writen English but also more benefits in speaking skill When I helped my students understand a lot of modal sentences clearly I realized my students love learning English and they are fond of doing rewriting form at the moment and now they not worry about this exercise as they did Because they have more changes in order to revise the structures which they have learned and get new structures Beside that, it is a good occasion for students to widen their mind Throughout the
