Recently, we made a trip to visit Dong Ho village with a desire to meet the old artisan - Nguyen Huu Sam. Just when we arrived at the dyke in the village and talked with the villagers about the artisan, they intimately told us about him.The old house owned by the artisan is situated in a long alley of the village. On the walls of the house there are many folk paintings in different genres, from daily life paintings to landscape paintings shown in a set of “four seasons” and "four times".  Mr. Sam told us about his past. When he was three years old, he was instructed in the craft of making Dong Ho paintings by his father. At five, he could help his father apply the Dong Ho paintings, and learn how to print the paper with proper colors. At seven, he was able to draw with a pen and make the most difficult samples. Years went by and the soul of Dong Ho folk paintings has kept seashell powder paint to the poonah-paper.In the 1940s, this craft flourished. At that time, he was assigned by his parents to take the paintings to the market for sale. Mr. Sam said that 17 families in the village have been engaged in making Dong Ho paintings. Artisan Sam has always been devoted to the making of Dong Ho paintings and has waited for opportunities to restore this traditional craft. In 1967, when the local authorities assigned him to restore the traditional genre of Dong Ho folk paintings, he gathered 50 villagers with professional skills and collected hundreds of woodblocks to establish the Dong Ho Painting Cooperative. Thanks to his efforts, such famous paintings as “Rat’s wedding”, “Rooster”, “Scene of jealousy” and “Writing verses about precious flowers” have been revived. Dong Ho paintings have been available in many parts of the world such as Japan, France, Germany, Singapore and the United States.

Đáp án C

Khi hai hành động cùng xảy ra trong quá khứ, ta dùng thì quá khứ hoàn thành cho hành động xảy ra trước và quá khứ đơn cho hành động xảy ra sau.

Dịch nghĩa: Chúng tôi đã bỏ lỡ chuyến phà buổi sáng hôm qua. Nó đã vừa đi ngay khi chúng tôi đến bến tàu.

Đáp án C.

Dùng thì QKHT (had already gone: đã đi mất rồi) để chỉ một hành động xảy ra và hoàn tất trước một hành động khác trong quá khứ (arrived at: đến).

Tạm dịch: Chúng tôi đã bị lỡ chuyến phà buổi sáng hôm qua. Vào thời gian chúng tôi đến bến cảng tàu thì nó đã đi rồi.

pier /piǝ(r)/ (n): bến tàu, cầu tàu (nhô ra ngoài); nhà hàng nổi; cầu dạo chơi (chạy ra biển)

- arrived at + địa điểm nhỏ (the pier/ airport/ bus stop, ...)

- arrived at + địa điểm lớn (Paris/ Hanoi, ...).

Đáp án D.

Nghĩa câu gốc: Chúng tối đến sân bay. Chúng tôi nhận thấy hộ chiếu của chúng tôi vẫn ở nhà.

Cấu trúc câu: Not until S + V + auxiliary + S + V (inf).

          Đáp án A sai cấu trúc: It was NOT until…that S + V.

          Đáp án B sai thì “…our passports are still at home”.

          Đáp án C sai cấu trúc, đảo ngữ với “not unti;” chỉ thực hiện ở vế sau.
