emotional (cảm tính), (trái nghĩa với logical) If it has anything to do with feelings like happiness or anger, then consider it emotional. A co-worker who cries at the drop of a hat is overly emotional. If someone says "Stop being so emotional!" they're telling you to calm down because your feelings are out of control. When you're emotional, you're feeling lots of feelings, or emotions: happy, sad, afraid, lonely, mad. An emotional speech makes you stand up and cheer. An emotional movie tugs on your heartstrings.

Things that are alike are the same.

Cách sử dụng BOTH ... AND - NEITHER ... NOR - EITHER ... OR - NOT ONLY ... BUT ALSO 1) BOTH ... AND ( vừa..vừa... , cả .... lẫn..) Ví dụ: Both Mary and Tom are students ( cả Mary lẫn Tom đều là sinh viên) I like both oranges and apples. ( tôi thích cả cam và táo) 2) NOT ONLY ... BUT ALSO ( không những ... mà còn ... ) Công thức giống như both ..and Ví dụ: Not only Mary but also Tom likes dogs ( không những Mary mà Tom đều thích chó ) 3) NEITHER ... NOR ( không.... cũng không..., cả 2 đều không..) Ví dụ: Neither Mary nor Tom likes dogs ( cả Mary lẫn Tom đều không thích chó ) 4) EITHER ... OR ( hoặc là ....hoặc là ...) Ví dụ: Either Mary or Tom likes dogs ( hoặc là Mary hoặc là Tom thích chó ) Lưu ý: Tất cả các cấu trúc trên chỉ dùng cho 2 đối tượng.

CÁCH NỐI CÂU VỚI CÁC CẤU TRÚC TRÊN: Nguyên tắc cơ bản: Tất cả các vị trí dấu 3 chấm ( ... ) trong các cấu trúc trên đều phải cùng loại từ với nhau. Ví dụ: I like both dogs and cats ( danh từ - danh từ) I am both tall and fat ( tính từ - tính từ ) I not only drank some wine but also ate a cake. ( động từ - động từ ) Not only did I drink some wine but also I ate a cake. ( mệnh đề - mệnh đề ) Trong câu trên khi not only đứng đầu câu thì phải đảo ngữ. Riêng trường hợp not only .... but also .... có thể có vài biến thể không tuân thủ nguyên tắc này, tuy nhiên khi học thì nên học cái chuẩn nhất và một khi đã nắm vững cách dùng rồi thì mới học thêm biến thể, nếu không sẽ dễ dẫn đến hiểu sai. Các biến thể có thể có của not only ...but also là : Not only clause ( đảo ngữ)...... but clause .....as well ( as well để ở cuối ) Not only clause ( đảo ngữ)...... but clause..... ( chỉ dùng but mà thôi ) Not only clause ( đảo ngữ)...... but S also V ....( chen chủ từ vào giữa ) Cách nối 2 câu: Nhìn 2 câu từ ngoài vô, nếu gặp những yếu tố nào giống nhau thì nhập lại thành một, khi gặp các chữ khác nhau thì tách ra làm hai cho vào hai vị trí .... của công thức. Ví dụ: I like dogs. I like cats. ( both ... and...) => I like both dogs and cats. My father likes dogs. My mother likes dogs. ( both ...and ... ) => Both my father and my mother like dogs. Riêng cấu trúc neither .. nor... phải bỏ not Ví dụ: I don't buy the book at that store. I don't buy the pen at this shop. => I buy neither the book at that store nor the pen at this shop. Khi gặp both ...and ... thì động từ luôn chia số nhiều. Khi gặp either ...or..., neither ....nor..... , not only... but also ..., thì động từ chia theo danh từ nào đứng gần động từ nhất

She is saying that she is also tired. 2.- Sau đây là một số ví dụ: He was very thirsty. ----> So was I Her flat's quite small. -->So is mine. They were reading --> So was she. I'm going to have tea --> So am I Alice has finished her homework and so has Mickey. They've been waiting. --> So has she. I work in a law firm. --> So do I. I enjoyed the play.--> So did I. Paul will pass the exam and so will you. He can swim. --> So can she. Lưu ý: ----> chúng ta sử dụng "so" sau câu khẳng định; ----> động từ mà chúng ta dùng sau "so" phụ thuộc vào động từ được dùng trong câu khẳng định. 3.- Thay vì dùng "so am I", chúng ta có thể nói "I am too" với nghĩa giống nhau. Sau đây là một số ví dụ: I'm happy. ---> I am too. We've got a big flat. ---> We have too. I work in a law firm. ---> I do too. Billy enjoyed the play and I did too. 4.- Chúng ta có thể sử dụng cách diễn đạt "neither am I" để trả lời cho câu phủ định: I'm not tired. ----> Neither am I (= and I'm not tired.) I haven't seen that play. ---> Neither have I. He doesn't like this job. ---> Neither does she. I didn't see that play. ---> Neither did I. His sister can't drive and neither can he. 5.- Chúng ta có thể nói "I'm not either" với nghĩa tương tự như "neither am I": I'm not tired. ---> I'm not either. (= And I'm not tired.) I haven't watched that program. ---> I haven't either. I don't like this studio. ---> I don't either. I didn't see that play. ---> I didn't either. His brother can't swim and he can't either.

Cách dùng Too, So, Either, Neither * Too và So có nghĩa là "cũng vậy". Khi nhắc lại một điều giống người đã nói trước, ta có thể dùng Too, So. - Too đặt ở cuối câu, sau một dấu phẩy. e.g A. I can speak English. B. I can speak English, too. Trong thực tế người ta thường dùng động từ đặc biệt (động từ khiếm khuyết, trợ động từ) để nói ngắn gọn thay vì phải lặp lại cả câu. e.g A. I can speak English. B. I can, too. A. I am hungry. B. I am, too. A: I like films. B: I do, too - So đặt ở đầu câu, sau So là động từ đặc biệt (động từ khiếm khuyết/ trợ động từ) rồi đến chủ từ. So + V (đặc biệt)+ Subject. e.g. A. I can speak English. B. So can I. A. I am hungry. B. So am I. Nếu là động từ thường, ta dùng trợ động từ Do, Does. e.g A. I like football. B. I do, too. A. I drink coffee.. B. So do I. A. I go to school by bus. B. So does Tom/ my brother. * Either và Neither nghĩa là "cũng không". Khi người thứ nhất nói một điều phủ định và người thứ hai nói giống như vậy, có thể dùng hai từ này. Either đặt ở cuối câu, sau một dấu phẩy. (có người không phẩy) e.g A. I' m not sick. B. I' m not sick, either. (thực tế: I' m not, either.) A. I don't live here. B. I don't (live here), either. Neither đặt ở đầu câu, sau Neither là động từ đặc biệt (động từ khiếm khuyết, trợ động từ) rồi đến chủ từ. (chỗ này giống So) Neither + V (đặc biệt)+ Subject. *Lưu ý: Sau Neither không có not, chúng ta có thể nhớ Neither = not + either, như vậy đã có neither thì không cần not nữa. e.g. A. I can't swim. B. Neither can I A. I don't smoke. B. Neither do I. Ngoài ta trong văn nói,để cho gọn thì người ta hay dùng Me too và Me neither

imitate (bắt chước, làm theo, mô phỏng) (v) tớ copy thẻ way SO behaves, speaks, moves etc, especially in order to make people laugh. 'She was a splendid mimic and loved to imitate Winston Churchill'. (a splendid mimic, người bắt chước tuyệt vời).

Do not use IMITATE to mean 'do the same thing as some else'. Use COPY: She worries that Tom will COPY his brother (NOT IMITATE his brother) and leaves home.

Do you think you have a good memory or a poor memory? Well, when I was younger, I think I used to have a very good memory. I used to be able to memorize long lists of date without any trouble. memory (n) (năng lực của trí tuệ có thể nhớ lại các sự kiện, trí nhớ). menorize (v) (ghi nhớ, học thuộc lòng) = recite (kể lại thuật lại, học thuộc lòng). If you memorize something you know it by heart. When you were a little kid, you were probably asked to memorize "The Pledge of Allegiance," meaning you could recite it from memory with no cheat sheets. To memorize something is to get it into your memory, but it usually implies you're learning something more complex than a new acquaintance's name or the time of your next dentist appointment. People typically memorize things like multiplication tables, the periodic chart, Shakespearian quotes, lines for the community theater play, and their nine hundred different online passwords. There are many systems that people use for memorization: flash cards, association, color coding, and even sleeping with the book under their pillow.

'He seems to be living in a WORLD OF MAKE-BELIEVE'. 'children in the middle of a make-believe adventure'.

He has also mastered the skill of sorting objects according to their shape and colour master (v) (tinh thông, nắm vững, thuần thục): to learn a skill or a language so well that you have no difficulty with it.

He may be able to walk momentarily without support. WALK /wɔ:k/. WORK /wə:k/. momentarily /'mouməntərili/ Use the adverb momentarily to mean "very soon." A waiter might say to a hungry customer, 'Your food will be ready momentarily.' (ngay tức khắc).

bring up = raise = nurture (nuôi nấng, dạy dỗ).

He will be able to find hidden objects easily and use objects correctly such as drinking from a cup. By the age of two or three, the infant has reached the toddler stage.

acquire = get. require = need.

I'll have you moved to another room right away." I found the sentence in a text book. I wonder why the word "moved" is used there. I know these 2 grammars. ex1. I'll have her email you ( S + have + sb + V ). ex2. I had my hair cut ( S + have + sth + p.p.). Why is "moved" used there even though the object is a person? Is that "you" treated as a thing like ex2? I'll have you arrested." = i'll have someone arrest you. I'll have you moved It's just the passive form of I'll have someone move you, just as I had my hair cut is the passive form of 'I had someone cut my hair'.

He's already had a few cars, so i'm sure he'll be a great help. A GREAT HELP.

It can be tricky (khó khăn) to remember the difference between effective (có hiệu quả) and affective (dễ xúc động) (but easier than distinguishing between effect (n, ảnh hưởng, v, thực hiện) and affect (v của effect, ảnh hưởng). Effective makes a judgment about how something works—an effective strategy is one that works well. Affective is about how someone acts, or feels.

His physical development will also have increased significantly, as he can now move around a lot faster and even run. He can also climb up stairs or onto relatively low obstacles and even try a small tricycle. obstacle (n): (sự cản trở, trở ngại, chướng ngại vật): ST that makes it difficult to achieve ST. OBSTACLE TO 'Fear of change is an obstacle to progress'. 'The tax PUTS OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF companies trying to develop trade overseas'.

In term of social skills, this means, he's becoming more independent, which may result in the occasional tantrum. tantrum ('tæntrəm) (n) (cơn thịnh nộ, cơn tam bành): a sudden short period when SO, especially a child, behaves very angrily and unreasonably. depend (phụ thuộc). defend (bảo vệ ai cái gì khỏi cái gì).

However, he learns to take turns in games and spontaneously expresses his affection. take turns doing ST (thay phiên nhau làm gì đó, theo thứ tự). spontaneously (tự phát) = in a natural, unforced way. (tự nguyện, ko ép buộc) (vocabulary) Something spontaneous happens when you're least expecting it. Spontaneous things are natural or instinctive (thuộc bản năng), and they happen without warning. If you plan to go to a movie and then you go, that's not a spontaneous thing. Ditching the movie at the last minute to go to the park? That's spontaneous. Spontaneous things happen all of a sudden, on the spur of the moment, without being planned. Spontaneous can also refer to things that happen without outside influence. Your parents will be happy if you do your chores (công việc nhà) spontaneously instead of waiting till they nag (la rầy) you.
