SPEAKING
Task 1. Theo cặp, các em hãy bày tỏ quan điểm của mình qua cách dùng các câu mẫu sử dụng từ / nhóm từ cho sẵn trong khung.
1. A. I think it's a good idea to have three or four generations living together under one roof. They can help one another a lot.
B. I don't agree. It's been said there's a “generation Hap” between the old and the young. Therefore, there may usually be conflicts among family members. In some countries, specially in developing countries, old-aeed people like to live in a nursing homes, where they can lead independent lives.
2. C. In my opinion, it's obvious a happy marriage should he based on love, the true love, because love is the prerequisite for the family happiness. Only the true love can bring about forgiveness and sacrifice.
D. That's true. It’s love that joins a man with a woman together.
3. E. I don’t think it's a good idea that love can be supposed to follow the marriage. It's an obsolete thought. Everyone should have a right to make decisions for his / her own, especially the one relating to his /her personal life. In the other hand, he / she determines and chooses his / her spouse freely. We love something whenever we know and understand it well. The more we know (something), the more we like (it).
F. That’s my thought, too. A happy marriage should he built on love.
Tôi chưa bao giờ tìm thấy người bạn đồng hành nào tốt hơn sự cô độc.
I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David Thoreau
