Bí quyết đầu tiên và quan trọng nhất cho các bạn khi làm dạng bài tập ngữ âm và từ vựng tiếng Anh là thay vì học thuộc cách phát âm hay cách nhấn trọng âm của từng từ một thì bạn nên khái quát thành những quy tắc ngữ âm. Các bạn cần nắm được được phần từ vựng thông dụng: cụm từ cố định (idiom, phrasal verb…) đã được học trong chương trình phổ thông, cách sử dụng và vị trí của từ loại trong câu bằng cách học nghĩa và làm bài tập liên quan đến các từ vựng này. Sau đây là phần 2 của cuốn sách "Các dạng bài tập ngữ âm và từ vựng tiếng Anh". Mời các bạn cùng tham khảo.
