Unit 7: Traffic

It's true that there are a wide range of traffic problems in Vietnam. I think the main reason of these problems is that people's sense of road safety is not good. Firstly, there are too many vehicles on the road that leads to traffic jams, especially in the rush hour when people go out or get home. Secondly, there are traffic accidents every day so a lot of people are injured or lose their lives . Will reduce the population if it keeps going on.Another problem is that the road in our big cities are narrow and bumpy. They are easily flooded when it rains so heavily. In order to go on the roads safely, I think we should obey the traffic rules and traffic signs as well. i hope traffic in Vietnam will get better in the future

1. You should not make a right turn at an intersection marked by the "No right turn" sign.

2. Cycle lane is a lane on the roadway designed for cyclists.

3. Come over there, beside the lake is a parking area.

4. We will be fined if we park here as there is obviously the "No parking" sign.

5. This park is not for cyclists as they have placed a warning sign: "No cycling".

6. We should pay attention to the traffic lights.

7. Take a deep breath and try to keep on, my dear, it's a hospital ahead!

8. ''School ahead'' signs give drivers advance warning of an upcoming school so that they had better slow down and pay attention to the children around.

Chúng ta có thể sử dụng “it” ở vị trí chủ ngữ để chỉ khoảng cách.

Từ nhà tôi đến trạm xe buýt khoảng 300m.

Chúng ta sử dụng used to (đã từng) khi nói về thói quen trong quá khứ nhưng nay không còn nữa.

Ex: When I was a child, I used to go to Suoi Tien.

Khi còn nhỏ, tôi đã từng đi Suối Tiên.

a. Cách thành lập Used to

Thể khẳng định (Affirmative form)

S + used to + V (bare inf)

Ex: I used to live in Hue. Tôi đã từng sống ở Huế.

(nhưng giờ không còn ở đó nữa)

Thể phủ định (Negative form)

S + didn’t + use to + V (bare inf)

Ex: My father didn’t use to smoke cigarette.

Bố tôi trước đây không hút thuốc (nhưng bây giờ bắt đầu hút thuốc).

Thể nghi vấn (Interrogative form)

Did + S + use to + V (bare inf)?

Ex: Did you use to work in the post office?

Có phải trước đây anh đã từng làm việc ở bưu điện không?

Lưu ý (Note);

Ngoài việc sử dụng used to để nói về thói quen trong quá khứ, chúng ta còn sử dụng would.

Used to: đã từng, thường, vốn

would: thường

Ex: When Tham was a child, she would go fishing on Sunday.

Khi Thắm còn nhỏ, cô ấy thường đi câu cá vào Chủ nhật.

Would và used to không được dùng để đề cập đến sự việc nào đó đã xảy ra bao nhiêu lần hoặc mất khoảng bao lâu thời gian. Khi muốn đề cập đến sự việc xảy ra bao nhiêu lần trong quá khứ, chúng ta phải dùng thì quá khứ đơn.

Ex: We lived in Japan for seven years.

Chúng tôi đã sống ở Nhật được bảy năm.

When I was a child, I went to Bangkok three times.

Khi còn nhỏ, tôi đã đến Băng Cốc ba lần.

Chúng ta cũng cần phải phân biệt rõ giữa used to + bare infinitive và to be + used to + V-ing.

• Used to + bare inf (đã từng) chỉ thói quen trong quá khứ.

Ex: When I was a child, I used to go to Dam Sen Park.

Khi còn nhỏ, tôi thường đi công viên Đầm Sen.

• To be + used to + V-ing (trở nên quen với) chỉ thói quen hoặc việc thường xảy ra ở hiện tại.

Ex: I am used to listening to music every evening.

Tôi quen với việc nghe nhạc mỗi tối.

1,how far is it from your house to your school ?

2,it is not very far to go to the station railway.

3,we must always obey the traffic rules for our safety

4,near our school there is a children crossing sign so you must cross the road there.

1. How far is it from your house to your school?

2. It is not very far to go to the station railway.

3. We must always obey the traffic rules for our safety.

4. Near our school there is a children crossing sign so you must cross the road there. (hình như đề sai. "Children" là danh từ số nhiều nên không thể đi với "a", phải là "child")

5. Mình chưa kịp nghĩ ra:)))

My mother used to take me to school but now I cycle.

Today's traffic is very chaotic and unsettled. I am very worried about traffic safety today. I hope that the traffic will be more and more progressive and orderly.

tiếng việt là:

giao thông ngày nay rất lộn xôn và thiếu trật tự, tôi rất bất an về tình hình an toàn giao thông ngày nay, tôi mong rằng giao thông sẽ càng ngày càng tiến bộ và trật tự hơn nữa.

I live in a small village but there are some traffic problems here. It makes me unpleasant. The first traffic problem is that the road is very narrow during the vehicles are more and more. Secodly, the cattles like dogs, cats usually go along or across the road. Thirdly, the villagers buy something on the road and make the road dirty. Not only that, the most serious problem is that people don't obey traffic rules; despite looking at the red light, they don't stop or they use speed limit at the rush hour; someone doesn't wear helmet or drink wine, beer when using motobike especially the students and the young people from 15-30 age. Finally, the people drive carelessly so they cause many accidents on the road. They are all of traffic problems in my neighborhood. I think students at school shoould be taught about road safety and everyone must obey the traffic rules.

The big city where I live and some other places have some traffic problems. One of the traffic problems is that there are too many traffic jams every day, so there are many traffic accidents too. Secondly, some people don’t obey the traffic laws. In addition, there are too many people using the road and too many vehicles, while the roads are narrow and bumpy. In short, there are some traffic problems in big cities. The street should be wider and everyone should obey the traffic rules strictly.
