Với phương châm lấy sự đảm bảo quyền lợi của học sinh đặt lên hàng đầu, trong quá trình tiếp xúc với học sinh và phụ huynh học sinh, cán bộ nhân viên công ty khi tư vấn không chỉ chú trọng tới nguyện vọng về trường và ngành học mà còn trao đổi chia sẻ để giải tỏa những lo lắng khi du học sinh phải sống trong một môi trường hoàn toàn mới, việc tư vấn còn chú trọng tới tâm tư, tính cách và kinh nghiệm cuộc sống của cá nhân học sinh để đưa ra lời khuyên tốt nhất giúp cho học sinh chọn được trường phù hợp với nguyện vọng và hoàn cảnh gia đình, điều kiện kinh tế của các em. Hồ sơ của các em luôn được chuẩn bị hoàn hảo do các chuyên viên giàu kinh nghiệm về tổ chức phỏng vấn, chứng minh tài chính, hỗ trợ vay vốn và hồ sơ xin visa thực hiện.

B. Pronunciation ( Phát âm) : sound /θ/ and / ð/

Đây là phụ âm vô thanh (voiceless consonant), âm môi răng (tip-dental), phụ âm xát (fricative). Cách phát âm: đặt đầu lưỡi ở giữa hai hàm răng phía trước. Đẩy luồng hơi ra ngoài qua răng và đầu lưỡi.

Mang đặc tính của phụ âm hữu thanh (voiced consonant), âm môi răng (tip-dental), phụ âm xát (fricative) và được phát âm tương tự như khi phát âm /θ/, dùng giọng tạo ra âm rung trong vòm miệng.

Đây là 2 âm chủ yêu của chữ “th” trong tiếng Anh, vậy khi nào đọc là /θ/ khi nào đọc /ð/, ta sẽ xét vị trí của “th” trong từ để nắm  rõ.

* Hầu hết các từ bắt đầu bằng th thì đọc là /θ/.

* Trừ một số ít từ sau bắt đầu bằng th mà đọc là /ð/ :

5 từ: the, this, that, these, those

4 từ:  they, them, their, theirs

7 trạng thừ và liên từ: there, then, than, thus, though, thence, thither (tuy cũng có người đọc thence và thither với âm /θ/)

Một số trạng từ ghép với các từ trên: therefore, thereupon, thereby, thereafter, thenceforth, etc.

* Hầu hết “th” giữa từ được đọc là /ð/.

Giữa các nguyên âm: heathen, fathom

Những tổ hợp với -ther-: bother, brother, dither, either, father, Heather, lather, mother, other, rather, slither, southern, together, weather, whether, wither, smithereens; Caruthers,

Những danh từ kép mà phần đầu có -ther hay -thers: Gaithersburg, Netherlands, Witherspoon- Riêng Rutherford thì có thể đọc /ð/ hay /θ/.

Sau chữ /r/: Worthington, farthing, farther, further, northern.

* Một số ít th giữa từ được đọc là /θ/ ấy là vì xuất phát từ những danh từ được đọc là /θ/ :

Những tính từ được cấu tạo bằng cách thêm -y sau danh từ thì thường giữ nguyên là /θ/: earthy, healthy, pithy, stealthy, wealthy; riêng worthy và swarthy thì đọc là /ð/.

Trong những từ ghép với những chữ đọc là /θ/, thì tiếp tục đọc như khi chưa ghép : bathroom, Southampton; anything, everything, nothing, something.

Từ tiếng Anh duy nhất có th ở giữa mà đọc /θ/ là brothel.

* Đa số các từ mà th ở giữa nhưng đọc là /θ/ là những từ vay mượn từ ngôn ngữ khác:

Từ tiếng Hy Lạp: Agatha, anthem, atheist, Athens, athlete, cathedral, Catherine, Cathy, enthusiasm, ether, ethics, ethnic, lethal, lithium, mathematics, method, methyl, mythical, panther, pathetic, sympathy

Từ tiếng La Tinh: author, authority

Các tên gốc La Tinh: Bertha, Gothic, Hathaway, Jonathan, Othello, Parthian

Gốc Celtic: Arthur , Abernathy, Abernethy

Danh từ và tính từ tận cùng bằng th thì đọc là /θ/: bath, breath, cloth, froth, loath, sheath, sooth, tooth/teeth, wreath.

Trừ những từ kết thúc bằng -the: tithe, lathe, lithe thì đọc là /ð/.

các từ: blythe, booth, scythe, smooth có thể đọc là /ð/ hoặc /θ/.

Các động từ tận cùng bằng th thì đọc là /ð/, và thường viết dưới dạng -the: bathe, breathe, clothe, loathe, scathe, scythe, seethe, sheathe, soothe, teethe, tithe, wreathe, writhe, và động từ: mouth thì cũng đọc là /ð/.

froth thì có thể đọc /θ/ hay /ð/ nếu là động từ, và chỉ đọc là /θ/ nếu là danh từ.

with có thể đọc là /θ/ hay /ð/ cũng như các từ ghép với nó: within, without, outwith, withdraw, withhold, withstand, wherewithal, etc.

One third is thirty percent, right? /wʌn θɜːrd ɪz ‘θɜːrti pər ˈsent raɪt/

Kathy is the author of the Math book. /ˈkæθi ɪz ðə ‘ɔːθər əv ðə ‘mæθbʊk/

I thought he was an athlete. /aɪ θɔːt hi wəz ən ˈæθliːt/

Her birthday was last Thursday. /hər ˈbɜːrθdeɪ wəz læst ˈθɜːrzdeɪ/

We both need something for our throat. /wi bəʊθ niːd ˈsʌmθɪŋ fər ˈaʊər θrəʊt/

My mother soothed the teething baby. /maɪ ˈmʌðər suːðd ˈðə tiːðɪŋ ˈbeɪbi/

What are those things over there? /wʌt ər ðəʊz θɪŋz ˈəʊvər ðer/

Did you go there together? /dɪd juː gəʊ ðer təˈɡeðər/

This one is better than the others. /ðɪs wʌn ɪz ˈbetər ðən ði ˈʌðərz/

I’d rather not answer that. /aɪd ˈræðər nɑːt ˈænsər ðæt/

Read the passage below then pick out ONE best option (A, B, C or D) to complete eachof the following sentencesBringing the countryside into the city centre[Student architect Alan Clark talks about parks around the world]Most people in the world live in cities. But city life isn't always great – it's often too hot tospend time outside in the summer, there's pollution from traffic and there are signs everywheresaying that people can't ride skateboards or bikes. However, green spaces can bring thecountryside into city centres and really make people's lives better.I played in my local park as a child, but I never thought about how important it was to me. Then,at sixteen, my uncle invited me to stay with him in Valencia during the school holidays and tookme to the Jardín del Turia. This amazing park is over seven kilometres long and until 1986 it wasjust empty land after the river flooded the whole city. It now has space for walking, social areasfor chatting and even a playground for kids. You don't have to pay to use it, so everyone canenjoy it. People who live nearby are healthier and happier and love their city park.I started reading about other exciting green spaces and found the High Line in New York. Thiswas an old railway line, ten metres above the city, and is now a colourful park with flowers andwild areas, and amazing views over the city. The city government was worried it would beexpensive to build and no one would use it. However, it was popular from day one. As well asNew Yorkers, it attracts thousands of tourists, and the money they spend in the city more thanpays for it. Local people work with city gardeners to keep it tidy.The Underpass Park in Toronto is on land under road bridges, which was covered in rubbishbefore. You don't see it as you drive past, so it's a special, secret place. It's also peaceful, as youcan't hear the traffic above. Because the road gives it a roof, people can use it in all weather andit's lovely and cool in the summer. It doesn't have much natural light, but mirrors on the 'walls'solve this problem. Mainly teenagers use it, and because they feel it's theirs, they know theymust keep it clean and they mustn't leave rubbish.1. What is the writer doing in the first paragraph?A.
