2 Stress (Trọng âm)

 THEORY (LÝ THUYẾT)

I. Trọng âm với từ có 2 âm tiết
• Đối với động từ có 2 âm tiết, trọng âm thường rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai.
Example:

appeal / ə'pi:l/
support /sə‘pɔ:rt/
surprise /sə'praiz/
prepare /pri’peə(r)/
decide /di'said/
drrive /o'raiv/
advise /əd’vaiz/
Exception: Động từ có hai âm tiết nhưng âm tiết thứ hai chứa nguyên âm /i/, /ə/, /əʊ/: trọng âm
thường rơi vào âm thứ nhất.
Verb Pronunciation
borrow /'bɒrəʊ/
loosen /lu:s(ə)n/
tighten 'tait(ə)n/
enter /´entə(r)/
offer /'ɒfə(r)/
finish /ˈfɪnɪʃ/

Chuyên đề luyện thi vào 10 - Ms Đàm Hà 89

 widen /'waid(ə)n/
• Đối với danh từ, tính từ và trạng từ có 2 âm tiết, trọng âm thường rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.
Word (N, Adj, Adv) Pronunciation
people /'pi:pl/
mother /mʌðə(r)/
student /'stju:dnt/
ready /'redi/
happy ˈhæpi/
easy /'i:zi/
seldom /´seldəm/
often /'ɒftən/
Ngoại lệ: Khi âm tiết đầu tiên có nguyên âm /i/ hoặc /ə/ -> trọng âm thường vào âm tiết số 2
Word Pronunciation
afraid /ə'freid/
polite pəˈlaɪt/
today /tə'dei/
surround /sə'raʊnd/
career /kə'riə(r)/
around /əˈraʊnd/
tonight /tə´nait/
Notice: Có một số từ có nhiều chức năng, trọng âm sẽ thay đổi theo chức năng trong câu của từ
đó. Trọng âm thường rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai với động từ và rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất với các từ loại
còn lại.
Verb Pronounciation Others Pronunciation
record /ri'kɔ:d/ record /‘rekərd/
import /im'pɔ:rt/ import /'impɔ:rt/
perfect /pə'fekt/ perfect /'pəfikt/

progress /prə'gres/ progress /'prəʊgres/
conflict /kənˈflɪkt/ conflict /ˈkɒnflɪkt/
suspect /sə´spekt/ suspect /´sʌspekt/
II. Trọng âm với từ có 3 âm tiết
• Trọng âm thường rơi vào âm tiết thứ ba tính từ âm tiết cuối trở ngược lên.
Chúng ta có thể dùng phương pháp đếm ngược.
Ví dụ: Fa-mi-ly / 1<=2<=3
Chúng ta đếm ngược từ 3->2->l, trọng âm sẽ rơi vào âm được đếm số 1 (trong ví dụ là ‘FA’)
Example:
Word Pronunciation
family /'fæməli/
internet /'intərnet/
dedicate /'dedikeit/
satisfy /'sætisfai/
qualify /'kwɒlifai/
• Đối với các từ tận cùng bằng: ian, ic, ience, ient, ial, ual, al, eous, ion, iar, trọng âm thường rơi
vào âm tiết ngay phía trước chúng.
Example:

Chuyên đề luyện thi vào 10 - Ms Đàm Hà 90

 Word Pronunciation
athletic /æθ’letik/
essential /i’senʃl/
familiar /fə'miliə(r)/
delicious /di'liʃəs/
physician /fi'ziʃn/
• Đối với các từ tận cùng bằng: ee, eer, ese, ier, ette, oo, esque, trọng âm thường rơi vào âm tiết
chứa các đuôi này.
Example:
Word Pronunciation
refugee /refju'ʤi:/
engineer /,enʤi’niə(r)/
kangaroo /,kæ ηgə'ru:/
volunteer /,vɒlən’tiə(r)/
Vietnamese /,vi:etnə'mi:z/
 Tóm gọn
Danh, Tính 2 âm → nhấn 1
Động 2 âm → nhấn 2
(nếu kết thúc bằng đuôi ngắn”er, el, en...” thì nhấn 1)
Từ 3 âm tiết → đa phần nhấn 1 nhưng:
 “de, des, re, res, ex, im, in, pre” đọc là /i/ → nhấn sau nó
 “de, des, re, res, ex, pre” đọc là /e/ → nhấn trên nó
 Đuôi “ic, ical, ial, ian, ion, ible, itive, ative, ctive, ular, ulous, eous, ious, ctive”
→ nhấn trước nó
 Đuôi “ate, y, ize/ise” → nhấn cách nó 1 âm
 Đuôi “ée, éer, ése, étte, ésque, éntal, óo, oón, áde, áin” → nhấn trên nó
Chú ý
- Trọng âm không bao giờ rơi vào âm /ə/ hoặc là âm /əʊ/.
Nếu như trong một từ có chứa cả hai loại âm là /ə/ và /əʊ/ thì trọng âm rơi vào phần có chứa âm /əʊ/.
- Trọng âm thường rơi vào nguyên âm dài hoặc nguyên âm đôi hoặc âm cuối kết thúc với nhiều
hơn một phụ âm.
- Nếu tất cả các âm mà ngắn hết thì trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất.

It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass
examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn
English without studying too much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse
you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a
native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so many grammar rules as non-native students
do.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain
power. This could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice
that there are also some people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to
an English speaking school, but find friends from their own country and don’t practice English.

During December, sometimes even earlier, the Christmas lights come on in the streets, and the
big shops put on special "Christmas windows", to bring in the shoppers. As Christmas gets closer,
the shops become more and more crowded. Nowadays, many shops start their "New
Year Sales" before Christmas; some people therefore wait till the last days, in order to pay less for
their presents.
When the shops finally close for the holiday, most people are happy that the shopping is over.
For a day at least, everything is shut... except pubs and restaurants, which do a lot of business on
Christmas day (though not in 2020, on account of Covid 19). In the past, most people used to go to
church on Christmas morning; today some people go to church for a special Christmas service, but
most stay at home to open presents and prepare the Christmas lunch.
In the afternoon, it's time for more presents, or to watch a good film, or go out for a walk in the
country, or in the park.
Then, after Christmas, the shopping season starts again, as people spend their Christmas
money and look for bargains in the New Year sales.

 Most people have a week's holiday between Christmas and the New Year. Some, of course,
have to keep working; but for most, the last week of the year is a time to relax, enjoy more parties,
and do a bit more shopping.
J anuary sometimes seems very flat and empty!

Many parents are concerned that their children will spend time on social networking which
they could be using to do their homework, exercises, or interact with people in the real world.
They may feel that social networking sites are a waste of their children’s time. However, new
research claims that the communication opportunities provided by social networking encourage
young people to explore their interests, develop technical skills, and work on new forms of self-
expression. The three-year study carried out by a University of California research team that
interviewed over 800 teens and conducted over 2000 hours of online observations. It found that
social networking helps teenagers learn the social and technical skills they need to be
knowledgeable citizens in the digital age.
The study concludes that social networking contributes to young people’s extended
friendships and interests. While the majority of teens use social networking sites to “hang out”
with people they already know in real life, some use them to find like- minded people. Those
interested in chess or international politics, for example, can expand their circle with others who
share the same interests and can find information that goes beyond that they have access to at
school. They can also publicize and distribute their music, art work, or writing to online
audiences, and gain visibility and enhance their reputations. Teenagers create new modes of self-
expression and rules for social behavior online. New forms of online media allow them to acquire
technical skills through creating videos, writing blogs or customizing their online profiles. The
researchers said teens usually respect one another’s authority online, and they are often more
motivated to learn one another than from their parents or other adults.
Social networking has become a societal reality. Children and teens commonly use these sites
to interact like adults. With social networking such an important part of youth social culture, it
can be extremely difficult to completely keep teens away from social networks. Instead, it is better
for parents to allow their kids to access the appropriate websites while teaching them to use them
safely and responsibly.
1. Most teenagers are said to use social networking sites for interacting with existing friends.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around
1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the
Norman invasion of 1030. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England
and had not attended even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the
next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade
(including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English
speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities
proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking,
and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems Worldwide is in
English. Two-thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language
of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers.
Today there are more than 700 million English Users in the world, and over half of these are
non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language
in the world.

Environmental pollution is one of the impacts of human activities on the earth. It is also one of
the biggest problems of the world today. The environmental pollution is the cause of some
diseases that most people do not know about. There are four types of pollution, namely, air
pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and noise pollution.
Most of the air pollution results from the burning of fossil fuels, motor vehicles, factories,
aircraft and rockets. This can cause acid rain which damages water, soil, and vegetation.
Air pollution also contributes to the greenhouse effect which can lead to a series of environmental

engines, factory machinery and musical instruments. It can cause stress and psychological and
health problems for humans such as increased heart rate and hearing damage.
Environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly serious problem or threat that needs to

13-year-old Jessica Aldrich tells her story about an earthquake in Tokyo. Last November I
experienced one of the scariest moments in my life. I was at school with my friends in Japan’s
capital city, Tokyo, when a strong earthquake struck. The building shook and there was a terrible
noise. The electricity went off and some new shelves in the classroom fell over. Luckily, we were
already all under our desks so that nothing could fall on us. I felt as if it would go on forever and
never stop. I had lived in Tokyo for four years but I had never experienced anything as strong as
that before. Even though we were trained at school for earthquakes, it was different experiencing
it for real. We had to remember to keep calm and I didn’t panic, even though I was scared, which
makes me really proud. My mum said she was really impressed with how I dealt with the
earthquake. We did experience some small earthquakes in the days afterwards and people were
quite nervous, but slowly life returned to normal. Now I’m safely back in the UK with my family.
My father’s work in Japan is finished now and I am due to start a new school here after the
summer. I miss my Japanese friends and I hope we will go back to Tokyo for a visit some time. I
really enjoyed living in Japan despite the danger of earthquakes. I feel that after experiencing such
a big earthquake, starting a new school won’t be a problem; I can handle anything!

Floods can be one of nature’s most destructive forces. The damage caused by water’s “wetness”
is secondary to the crushing pressures of its currents. If water from rain, melting snow or flooding
doesn’t drain quickly enough, rock and soil can become saturated with water.
Mudslides possess enough force and speed to destroy homes, even entire neighborhoods. In
May 1971, heavy rains in St- Jean-Vianney, Que., cause the earth to collapse into a sinkhole. The
mudslide that resulted killed 31 people and swept away 35 homes, a bus and several cars.
In addition to their destructive physical force, floods bring with them a more menacing threat.
If water levels are high enough, water seeps into houses and buildings, washing through laundry
rooms, tool sheds, garages, chemical storage closets, septic tanks and garbage receptacles. Runoff
carries chemicals, toxins and waste products that can filter through the water table for long periods
of time. Flood victims must be extremely cautious about the water they drink, the food they eat, and
how they bathe themselves.

Since the mid-twentieth century, new technologies have been developed, which helped to
diversify mass media and make them an inseparable part of our lives. The role of the mass media
is not only to entertain and amuse the masses. Its most important role is to provide information
and news about events in different parts of the world as they occur. Educating people about their
rights and responsibilities is another function of mass media.
Until recently, mass media forms were classified into six categories according to the sequence
of their advent: print, recordings, cinema, radio, television and the Internet. Each form has its own
characteristic content types, creative artists and business models. In the early 21st century, with the
explosion of mobile communication technology, the mobile phone has emerged as a new and
unique media channel. Video and computer games have also developed into a mass media form.
Each form of mass media has had an important impact on society, for example, books have helped
people to educate themselves while newspapers have recorded daily events. Magazines were the
first visual medium before the advent of television, which together with radio, brought
entertainment and news programs into people's homes. However, all these media had to change
and adapt to the advent of the Internet and Digital Media Age. New digital media forms are more
personal and social as they allow people to connect with each other, collaborate and share
information and personalize their experiences.

The Future at our Fingertips
Technology has never developed as quickly as it has in the early 21st century. In recent years
we have seen a huge growth in access to personal communication with the introduction of the
smartphone. Almost everyone has one these days, but what about changes to technology in the
home? Welcome to the smart TV.
Televisions have been in our homes for many years now. From the first black and white TVs in
the 1920s to flat screens today, they have become more advanced as modern living has
progressed. We are all used to using a remote control instead of getting up to change the channel,
but that is about to change with the latest developments in hardware design.
Imagine being able to control the TV with a wave of your hand or just by telling the TV what
you want. This sounds like something out of a science fiction film, but it is actually real. New
technologies allow you to operate your TV without pressing a button. Instead, you can use voice
control to turn the volume up or down and the TV on or off. You can even use your body
movements to surf the Internet
The future of television is also very exciting. A team of Japanese scientists are even developing
a TV where you can smell what you are watching. So the next time you are watching the cooking
channel it could make you very hungry!
Decide if these statements are TRUE or FALSE
23. Most people own a smartphone. ________
24. The first TVs appeared in color. ________
25. You can operate the TV with your voice. ________

VI. Read the following passage. Decide if the statements from 23 to 26 are True or False and
choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) for the questions 27 and 28. (1.5 pts)
The world's forests are being consumed rapidly. Trees are cut down for paper and wood
products, for cooking fuel, to clear land for development, and to expand farming areas. The land
left behind is stripped not only of its trees, but the plants, animals, and insects that lived in that
ecosystem as well. With no plant roots to hold it in place, valuable soil washes away with every
rainfall and ends up in the rivers and streams upon which people depend for their water supply.
In extreme cases, hundreds or thousands of people lose their homes or perish in landslides when
deforested slopes become unstable.
Forests also play an important part in regulating global climate. Trees remove carbon dioxide, a
major greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere, while cycling oxygen back into it. When trees are cut
down, however, the CO2 is released again. It is estimated that up to 25% of the total amount of CO2
going into the atmosphere every year is released from trees being cut and burned. It's clear that
protecting the world's forests is an important part of solving the global climate change problem.
23. To expand farming areas is one of the reasons for cutting down trees. ______
24. Soil washes away with rainfall due to no plant roots to hold it in place. ______
25. Trees release carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere. ______

A. How to cut down trees for paper and wood products.

D. CO2 going into the atmosphere every year.

Australia is no stranger to bushfires. Australians have started the new year anxious and alarmed
with bushfires. The fire situation started at the beginning of 2019, At least 34 people died in the
bushfires. Nearly 3,000 homes and several thousand buildings (including businesses, out-
buildings and homes) were destroyed across the country. Many of these out-buildings were on
farmland which will have an increased impact on the agricultural industry, in addition to the
burnt soil. Millions of animals, many found on no other continent, may have been spoiled, and
Australians are taking care of some of the survivors. Australia relies on hundreds of thousands of
volunteer firefighters, who have been working around the clock to try and bring the fires under
control for months. Experts say that the changing climate is key to this disaster. Hotter, drier
conditions are making the country's fire season longer and much more dangerous.
