The presence of plastic products did not affect the growth of the

Basket making does not play an important role in the area now

Willow growers and basket makers have found new ways to promote their industry

Basket makers can live on their craft nowadays

Last year I visited the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area in Somerset,South West England This area is hometoone of Somerset’s oldest traditional crafts -willow basket making Basket making began in the area a long time ago At thebeginning of the 19th century, more than three thousand acres of willow trees wereplanted commercially there because the area provided an excellent natural habitat fortheircultivation

I’d seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I was still amazed at thenumerous products created by the basket makers there They make lobster pots, breadtrays, and even passenger baskets for hot airballoons

Although the arrival of plastics in the 1950s caused the basket making industry todecline, willow growing and basket making have continued to play a significant role inSomerset’s rural economy Willow growers and basket makers have dealtwiththischallenge by finding new markets and innovative ways of using willow Theymake willow charcoal for artists and bower seats for gardens Some even weave willowcoffins Therefore, people here can still live on the craft that their great-grandparentspassed down tothem

I Equal comparison of adjectives and adverbs (Dạng so sánh bằng của tính từ và trạngtừ)

Ta dùng “as as” khi muốn nói về hai sự vật, sự việc giống nhau

(+) S1 + be/ verb + as + adj/ adv + as + S2

Chú ý:

Trong câu phủ định, từ as thứ nhất có thể thay bằng so.

Linda isn't so tall as her friend

My mother can't cook so well as your mother

a Form

Ví dụ:

- He sings as well as hisbrother

- She runs as fast as herclassmate

a Đối với tính từ/ trạng từngắn

những từ có 2 âm tiết trở lên nhưng có tận cùng lày, er, ow, et.

S1 + be/ V + adj/adv + er + than + S2

Chú ý:

Cách thêm đuôi "er" vào sau adj

Những tính từ tận cùng là “e” thì thêm “r”: larger, wider

Những tính từ tận cùng là 1 phụ âm trừ âm w, trước đó là 1 nguyên âm thì ta gấp đôi phụ âm:

Ví dụ: hotter, bigger

Những tính từ tận cùng là “y” trước đó là 1 phụ âm thì chuyển “y” thành “ier”:

Ví dụ: happier, noisier

S1 + be/ V + more + adj/ adv + than + S2

S + be/ V + the + adj/ adv-est

S + be/ V + the + most + adj/ adv

Ví dụ:

- Summer is hotter thanwinter

- They are happier than theirparents

He drives the most carelessly among three drivers

Anh ấy lái xe ẩu nhất trong số ba người tài xế.

Chú ý:

a Một số tính từ có 2 âm tiết nhưng có tận cùng là “y, le, ow, er” khi sử dụng ở so sánh hơn hay so sánh hơn nhất nó áp dụng cấu trúc so sánh hơn của tính từ ngắn.

ADVANTAGES OF CITY LIFE

Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside However, cities have manybenefits overvillages

Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career.

Villages have a smaller population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available Living inthe city provides people with thousands of career choices Professionals have access tolarge businesses, hospitals and educational facilities for work opportunities People withless education can more readily find jobs in customer service or entry-level jobs Evenspecialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a city with a largepopulation

I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents As city populations increase, so dobusinesses People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities As time passes,more and more people all over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking anewlife

Ví dụ:

She is tired and cold.

Cô ấy mệt và lạnh.

Is she looking for her glasses?

Có phải cô ấy đang tìm kính không?

Tuy nhiên, động từ “be” được nhấn mạnh ở câu hỏi phủ định hoặc ở cuối câu nghi vấn.Ví dụ:

Aren’t you tired?

You aren’t reading my story?

Cậu không đọc truyện của tớ hả?

I am reading it but you need to practise your handwriting more

Tớ đang đọc, nhưng cậu cần luyện viết nhiều hơn.
