MỘT SỐ DẠNG NGỮ PHÁP, TỪ VÀ CẤU TRÚC THƯỜNG GẶP TRONG VIẾT LẠI CÂU

trong chương trình tiếng Anh THPT hệ cơ bản, Viết lại câu là phần kiến thức quan trọng và tương đối khó, liên quan nhiều đến các phần ngữ pháp khác nhau và có trong bài thi THPT Quốc Gia. Vì thế, để làm tốt được các dạng bài tập tự luân và trắc nghiệm về Viết lại câu thì học sinh cần phải nắm được các kiến thức ngữ pháp cơ bản có liên quan đến nhiều chủ điểm ngữ pháp khác nhau. Vì vậy tôi chọn đề tài “MỘT SỐ DẠNG NGỮ PHÁP, TỪ VÀ CẤU TRÚC THƯỜNG GẶP TRONG VIẾT LẠI CÂU” làm vấn đề nghiên cứu trong chuyên đề ôn thi TNTHPTQG của mình.

II GIẢI PHÁP THỰC TẾ ĐỂ TIẾN HÀNH DẠY VIẾT LẠI CÂU ĐẠT HIỆU QUẢ

1 Lập kế hoạch cho từng tiết dạy, buổi dạy:

a Đối với giáo viên:

Để một tiết dạy tốt Viết lại câu người giáo viên cần thực hiện các bước sau:

- Soạn giáo án chi tiết và kỹ lưỡng về nội dung viết lại câu mà giáo viên cầntruyền đạt cho học sinh trong một tiết học Để làm điều này, giáo viên cânnghiên cứu kỹ các nội dung về Viết lại câu từ sách giáo khoa, sách giáo viên,sách ngữ pháp vì những sách này là cơ sở quan trọng đẻ giáo viên hoạch địnhgiảng dạy cho tiết học Việc nghiên cứu kỹ sẽ giúp cho việc giáo viên tổ chức,điều khiển bài dạy đi đúng trọng tâm, trọng điểm, phân bố thời gian cho từngcấu trúc một cách khoa học, lôgic

- Với đối tượng học sinh trung bình yếu, người giáo viên rất cần phải kiên nhẫn

và tận tình với các em Hơn nữa, thầy/cô cần phải đưa ra nội dung bài dạy viếtlại câu từ rất dễ đến dễ

- Giáo viên cần đưa ra được kế hoạch dạy viết lại câu Phần viết lại câu là phầnngữ pháp tương đối rộng, liên quan đến nhiều phần ngũ pháp khác cho nên giáoviên cần phải tổ chức các buổi dạy bài dạy có sự liên quan logic, khoa học và dễhiểu cho học sinh

- Soạn chi tiết các dạng bài tập luyện tập cho học sau mỗi một dạng bài tập màcác em được học để học sinh có thể luyện tập sau khi được học về lý thuyết

- Cần phải duy trì được không khí học tập nghiêm túc và tập trung cao độ để họcsinh không tập trung vào các việc khác khi đang trong giờ học

b Đối với học sinh:

Giáo viên yêu cầu học sinh chuẩn bị tốt cho tiết học tới bằng cách:

- Yêu cầu học sinh học thuộc kiến thức của bài cũ: như cấu trúc, cách chuyển đổi.-Yêu cầu học sinh làm bài tập về nhà và kiểm tra việc làm bài tập của các em.-Khuyến khích, động viên học sinh tự tin, chủ động, sáng tạo nêu ra những vấn

đề, câu hỏi có liên quan đến bài học

2 Thực hiện tốt tiến trình dạy Viết lại câu

Khi dạy viết lại câu, giáo viên cần phân tích rõ cho học sinh hiểu được cấu trúc

và cách biến đổi Tiến trình này không những giúp học sinh nắm hiểu bài mà còngiúp các em sử dụng kiến thức để làm các dạng bài tập trong sách

Sau đây tôi xin được trình bày tiến trình dạy cách việt lại câu với một vài cấu trúcthông dụng ở cấp độ trung bình trong sách giáo khoa và trong một số sách thamkhảo lớp 10, 11, 12 là một ví dụ điển hình của Viết lại câu trong Tiếng Anh

S + V + so that/ in order that+ S + V  S + V + to + infinitive

Mệnh đề + SO THAT / IN ORDER THAT + S can/could/will/would + V …

Lưu ý: Thông thường nếu không có NOT thì dùng can /could còn có NOT thì dùng won’t / wouldn’t, trừ những trường hợp có ý ngăn cấm thì mới dùng can’t/couldn’t.Example

1 I study hard so that I can pass the exam

 I study hard in order to pass the exam

Phrase of purpose: Cụm từ chỉ mục đích

Nếu có NOT thì để NOT trước TO, tuy nhiên mẫu TO không áp dụng được trường hợp có NOT.

 I study hard in order not to fail the exam (đúng)

 I study hard not to fail the exam (sai)

Cách nối câu :

* Dùng SO THAT/IN ORDER THAT :

Trong câu thứ hai nếu có các động từ : want, like, hope thì phải bỏ đi rồi thêm can/could/will/would vào

–Nếu sau các chữ want, like, hope…có tân ngữ thì lấy túc từ đó ra làm chủ từ.

I give you the book I want you to read it.

 I give you the book so that you can read it.

* Dùng IN ORDER TO/SO AS TO/TO :

– Chỉ áp dụng được khi 2 Chủ ngữ 2 câu giống nhau

– Bỏ Chủ ngữ câu sau, bỏ các chữ want, like, hope giữ lại từ động từ sau nó.

Example:

I study hard I want to pass the exam

-> I study hard in order to pass the exam.

She worked hard to pass.

She worked hard in order to pass.

To reach him, I had to wait for five minutes on the line.

The expression so as to can also be used to express purpose It carries the same degree

of formality as in order to.

Before stative verbs like know, seem, appear, understand, have, etc, it is more usual

to use in order to or so as to:

problem

meeting him

3.1.9 SO ADJ/ADV THAT / SUCH AN/AN + ADJ+ N + THAT

3.1.9.1 Đổi từ so… that sang such ……that

N + be + so + adj+ that+ clause

 Đại từ + be such (a/an) adj+N+ that clause

Example :

The film is so interesting that I have watched it three times

It is

It is such an interesting film that I have watched it three times.

* Nếu danh từ là số ít hoặc không đếm được thì không có a, an

* Chú ý: Thường sẽ có bài tập đổi từ such… that sang so….that.

3.1.9.2 Đổi từ so adj/adv that sang too to :

S + be +so + adj + that + clause

 S + be + too adj (for sb to infinitive

Cách làm :

Thêm tính từ vào, bỏ can't, couldn't lấy từ động từ trở đi

Nếu chủ ngữ 2 câu khác nhau thì thêm phần for sb

Nếu tân ngữ câu sau giống chủ ngữ câu đầu thì bỏ Tân ngữ đó đi

Example

The table is so heavy that I can't lift it

The table is too

The table is too heavy for me to lift.

- Nếu đổi ngược lại từ too to sang so…that thì thường dễ sai nhất là việc quên thêm

tân ngữ vào và chia sai thì.

3.1.9.3 Đổi từ too to sang enough:

S + be + too + adj + to infinitive.

S + be not adj enough+ to infinitive

Example

He is too weak to run fast

 He isn't

He isn't strong enough to run fast.

Ghi chú :Trong tất cả các cấu trúc trên nếu thay be là V thì ADV sẽ thay cho ADJ

3.1.9.1 Đổi từ so… that / such ……that

S + be such (a/an) adj+N+ that clause /S + be +so + adj + that clause

 So adj tobe S that clause

 Such to be N/S that clause

Example:

They were so excited that they couldn’t sit still.

So ………

Such ………

So excited were they that they couldn't sit still.

Such was their excitement that they began to jump up and down.

Note that "so" is followed by an adjective and "such" can be replaced by "so great" (So great was their excitement that ).
