VIẾT LẠI CÂU: KHÓ MÀ HAY

Viết lại câu là một trong những dạng bài tập phổ biến nhất trong thực hành ngữ pháp tiếng Anh. Mục đích của viết lại câu là luyện cho người học khả năng tư duy ngôn ngữ và diễn đạt ý với những cách khác nhau, nhằm chuyển tải tốt hơn ý cần diễn đạt đến người nghe. Hầu hết trong các bài thi tiếng Anh đều có phần viết lại câu, nhất là những bài thi dành cho thí sinh có trình độ tiếng Anh khá giỏi, như thi đại học, thi các chứng chỉ quốc tế...

Có thể nói, viết lại câu là một trong những loại hình "đáng sợ" nhất đối với hầu hết các thí sinh. Rất nhiều thí sinh đã mất điểm một cách không đáng có trong phần này. Vì sao nó lại "đáng sợ"? Bởi vì nó đòi hỏi người học phải thực sự hiểu vấn đề. Với dạng bài tập chọn A, B, C, D, có thể bạn không hiểu bạn vẫn ghi được điểm nhờ sự may mắn. Với dạng bài điền từ vào chỗ trống, bạn có thể điền đúng từ mặc dù bạn không hiểu đầy đủ câu đó. Ví dụ: There was a feud between the two tribes, and several murders..........committed out of revenge. Câu này mình cũng chẳng hiểu nhưng chắc chắn mình sẽ điền đúng từ cần điền vì mình vận dụng các quy định của ngữ pháp...còn dạng bài tập viết lại câu thì sao? Chúng ta cùng điểm qua một số vấn đề gây khó khăn cho thí sinh nhé:

1. Không hiểu nội dung câu:

Một câu có từ mới, đặc biệt là cụm động từ, thường gây khó khăn cho thí sinh. Câu nguồn mà không hiểu thì sao có thể chuyển đổi cách diễn đạt. Ví dụ:


Counsel for the defence was quiet during the case for the prosecution; everyone knew he had something hidden in reserve. (SLEEVE)

Câu này tương đối khó hiểu, muốn làm được câu này bạn cần hiểu nội dung câu và mẫu câu có từ sleeve diễn đạt sự giấu giếm.
Vậy cách xử trí là gì? Nếu bạn đang luyện thi, gặp câu này thì hãy nghiên cứu thật kỹ xem nội dung của nó là gì, từ sleeve có mẫu câu nào đồng nghĩa với ý trong câu trên không. Hết cách rồi hãy mở từ điển. Sau khi làm xong cần so đáp án để rút kinh nghiệm. Nếu không có đáp án, hãy gõ câu mà bạn làm vào google để kiểm tra xem người ta có diễn đạt như vậy không.
Nếu gặp câu này trong khi bạn làm bài thi, bạn cần xác định xem từ sleeve ứng với vế nào trong hai vế trên. Mục đích của người ra đề thi là kiểm tra xem bạn có biết cách thay thế cấu trúc "to have something hidden in reserve" bằng cấu trúc "to have something up one's sleeve" không. Nếu mình gặp câu này trong bài thi, dù mình chưa gặp nó và chưa biết đến cấu trúc này, mình cũng có thể làm gần đúng vì mình sẽ suy diễn như sau: Sleeve là tay áo. Trong câu nguồn "he had something hidden in reserve" dịch ra là anh ta đang giấu giếm điều gì. Vậy mình sẽ diễn đạt là "he had something in his sleeve". Làm như vậy tuy không đúng nhưng cũng thể hiện được rằng bạn đang hiểu vấn đề, có thể giám thị sẽ cho bạn 50% số điểm của câu.

2. Làm đúng nhưng cẩu thả:

Có rất nhiều bạn làm đúng nhưng vẫn không được điểm do các bạn cẩu thả và gặp phải giám khảo khó tính. Mình đã từng được mời đi "khao" do bạn mình làm bài thi xong tuyên bố đúng hết và chắc chắn đậu, nhưng cuối cùng thì rụng ngay từ vòng gửi xe. Sau khi phúc khảo mới biết bạn ấy mất điểm do cẩu thả.

Ví dụ như sau: People ask questions either because they are curious or bored. (OUT OF)
=> People ask question out of curiosity or boredom.
Câu này viết đúng, tuy nhiên, từ questions trong câu nguồn ở dạng số nhiều, người viết vô tình quên mà viết thành số ít. Với những giáo viên dễ tính có thể châm chước, tuy nhiên, đa số không chấp nhận vì họ lý luận rằng việc chép lại bạn còn chép không thành thì bạn sẽ không xứng đáng để được điểm.

3. Viết lại bằng gợi ý khác:

Trong câu viết lại thường gợi ý để bạn viết lại theo từ hoặc cụm từ có sẵn, bạn cần tuân thủ yêu cầu này vì đề bài muốn kiểm tra xem bạn có biết cách diễn đạt theo ý như vậy không chứ không yêu cầu bạn diễn đạt tự do.

Ví dụ:

I like cooking. (KEEN)

=> I keen on cooking.

Nếu bạn viết thành I don't mind cooking, câu vẫn đúng nhưng không được điểm vì bạn không thực hiện đúng yêu cầu của đề bài.

Sau đây là 1000 câu viết lại ở cấp độ khó có đáp án đính kèm. Nếu bạn luyện và hiểu hết cách làm của những câu này, bạn có thể dễ dàng vượt qua phần viết lại câu trong bất kỳ bài thi nào.
