UNIT 4: VOLUNTEER WORK AND LITERACY PROGRAMS I. GRAMMAR: * DIRECT SPEECH & INDIRECT SPEECH (Lời nói trực tiếp và lời nói gián tiếp) 1. Lời nói trực tiếp: được dùng khi chúng ta tường thuật lại lời của người nói bằng cách lập lại một cách chính xác lời nói ban đầu. Lời nói trực tiếp được đặt trong dấu ngoặc kép. EX: He asked, “ Where do you come from? ” She cried: “ What an accident! ” “ My cousin is a famous doctor”, he said. 2. Lời nói gián tiếp: Thay vì lặp lại chính xác lời nói, chúng ta có thể diễn tả lời hoặc ý nghó của người nói bằng lời lẽ riêng của chúng ta bằng cách sử dụng liên từ, thay đổi từ hoặc thì của động từ . Loại cấu trúc này được gọi là lời nói gián tiếp. Eg: Fiona said, “ It’s getting late.” → Fiona said(that) it was getting late. * Chúng ta thường bỏ “that” sau các động từ tường thuật thông thường như: say, tell, think. Ex: Tom said (that) his feet hurt a little. She told me (that) she enjoyed your party very much. * Danh sách các động từ tường thuật thường gặp: accept, add, admit, advise, agree, answer, apologise, argue, ask, beg, command, comment, complain, conclude (kết luận) , confess (thú nhận), continue, cry, decide, declare (tuyên bố), demand, feel, forbid, forecast (dự báo, dự đoán trước ) , guarantee (cam đoan, bảo đảm) , hear, imagine, inform, inquire, insit, invite, object, offer, order, point out, predict, promise, propose(đề nghò), recommend, refuse, say, shout, suggest, tell, thank, think, threaten, warn, whisper, wonder . 3. Cách đổi lời nói trực tiếp sang lời nói gián tiếp: a. Đại từ và tính từ sở hữu thường đổi từ ngôi thứ nhất hoặc ngôi thứ hai sang ngôi thứ ba. Trừ khi người nói thuật lại lời của chính mình. Eg: He said, “ I’ve forgotten my uncle’s phone number.” → He said (that) he had forgotten his uncle’s phone number. “ You have watered the flower twice, Mary”, he said. → He told Mary that she had watered the flower twice. b. Một số biến đổi cơ bản khi đổi sang lời nói gián tiếp: + Khi “ this, that, và these” được dùng như tính từ, chúng thường được đổi thành “The”. + Khi “ this, that, và these” được dùng như tính từ, chúng thường được đổi thành “ it, they, them”. + “ Here” có thể được đổi thành “ there”.
