Đáp án B

Giải thích: Cấu trúc

Have sb doing sth = Có ai đang làm việc gì

Bản chất của động từ đuôi "ing" trong cấu trúc trên là biến động từ thành danh từ, miêu tả một sự việc xảy ra, không ám chỉ nguyên nhân hay tác động liên quan đến chủ ngữ.

Phân biệt với cấu trúc Have sb do sth = có ai đó làm việc gì cho mình. Hành động trong cấu trúc trên là do "sb" thực hiện nhưng nhằm phục vụ mục đích của chủ ngữ.

Dịch nghĩa: Bất kể những sự phản đối ban đầu của họ, chúng tôi sớm có tất cả họ chơi bóng đá cùng nhau.

          A. made

Cấu trúc Make sb do sth = khiến ai làm việc gì.

          C. organized (v) = tổ chức

Cấu trúc Organize sb to do sth = tổ chức, sắp xếp cho ai làm việc gì.

          D. persuaded (v) = thuyết phục

Cấu trúc Persuade sb to do sth = thuyết phục ai làm việc gì.

Read the passage, then choose the correct answer

Many people now think that teachers give students too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time.

Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give to students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

Most people agree that homework is unfair. A student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a student who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.

It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children!
