Must- Have (got) to "Must" và "Have (got) to" đều cĩ nghĩa là "phải": để chỉ sự cần thiết phải làm một việc gì đĩ. E.g: I must/ have to go out now. Must và have (got) to cĩ thể dùng để thay thế cho nhau nhưng đối khi giữa chúng cĩ sự khác nhau: - Must: mang tính chất cá nhân, để diễn tả sự bắt buộc đến từ người nĩi, cảm giác của cá nhân mình (chủ quan). Người nĩi thấy việc đĩ cần thiết phải làm E.g: I really must give up smoking (Tơi thực sự phải bỏ thuốc.) - Have (got) to: khơng mang tính chất cá nhân, để diễn tả sự bắt buộc đến từ các yếu tố ngoại cảnh bên ngồi như luật lệ, quy định (khách quan).

Nếu have được tĩnh lược ‘ve thì chúng ta phải cĩ "got" E.g: They've got to be changed, (khơng được They've to be changed) Trong thì quá khứ đơn, chúng ta thường dùng had to hơn là had got to
3. - Must cĩ thể được dùng để nĩi về hiện tại và tương lai, nhưng khơng được dùng ở quá khứ. Thay vào đĩ, ta phải dùng had to (have to dùng được tất cả các thì) E.g: I must go to school now. I must go to school tomorrow. / 1 will have to go to school tomorrow. I had to go to school yesterday. Nếu khi khơng chắc chắn nên dùng từ nào thì thơng thường để "an tồn" hơn ta nên dùng have to. - Must cịn dùng để đưa ra sự suy luận dựa vào lập luận logic E.g: She must be upstairs. We've looked everywhere else. (Cơ ta chắc là ở trên tầng. Chúng tơi đã tìm mọi nơi khác.) - Must + be/ feel + adj: để bày tỏ sự thấu hiểu cảm giác của ai đĩ. E.g: You must be tired after that trip. (Bạn chắc hẳn rất mệt sau chuyến đi đĩ.) * Mustn't và Don't/ Doesn't have to Must not (mustn't) khác hồn tồn với don't/ doesn't have to + Mustn't: khơng được làm gì đĩ (chỉ sự cấm đốn) E.g: You mustn't tell the truth.

Dạng phủ định của can là can't (= cannot): được dùng để diễn tả một điều khĩ cĩ thể xảy ra (virtual impossibility) E.g: The doctor can't see you this morning; he's busy at the hospital. (Sáng nay bác sỹ khơng thể gặp bạn; ơng ấy bận ở bệnh viện.) COULD dùng để: + Diễn tả khả năng ở quá khứ (could là dạng quá khứ của can) E.g: I could swim when I was five years old.

5. Dùng be able to để thay cho can/ could trong thì hồn thành, hình thức V-ing, nguyên mẫu và sau các modal verbs. E.g: I have been able to swim since I was five.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. For Catherine Lumby, deciding to take on the role of breadwinner in her relationship was not a difficult choice. When she discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she had just been offered a demanding new role as Director of the Media and Communications department at the University of Sydney. But she didn't see this as an obstacle, and was prepared to use childcare when the children were old enough. It came, therefore, as a surprise to Lumby and her husband Derek that, after the birth of their son, they couldn’t actually bear the thought of putting him into childcare tor nine hours a day. As she was the one with the secure job, the role of primary care-giver fell to Derek, who was writing scripts for television. This arrangement continued for the next four years, w ith Derek working from home and caring for both of their sons. He returned to full-time work earlier this year. Whilst Lumby and her husband are by no means the only Australians making such a role reversal, research suggests that they are in the minority. In a government-funded survey in 2001, only 5.5 percent of couples in the 30-54 year age group saw the women working either part- or full-time while the men were unemployed. The situation is likely to change, according to the CEO of Relationships Australia, Anne Hollonds. She suggests that this is due to several reasons, including the number of highly educated women in the workforce and changing social patterns and expectations. However, she warns that for couples involved in role-switching, there are many potential difficulties to be overcome. For men whose self-esteem is connected to their jobs and the income it provides to the family, a major change of thinking is required. It also requires women to reassess, particularly with regard to domestic or child-rearing decisions, and they may have to learn to deal with the guilt of not always being there at key times for their children. Being aware of these issues can make operating in non-traditional roles a lot easier. 118. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Men being the bread winners B. Traditional roles of women C. Women being the home makers D. Reversed roles between men and women 119. Catherine and her husband decided that Catherine would be the primary earner because ___.

A. couldn’t afford to put their child in care for long periods each day B. didn’t want to put their child in care for long periods each day C. thought childcare was not safe enough for their children D. worried about their son’s health problems 122. In paragraph 2, the word “reversal" is closest in meaning to ___. A. stability B. modification C. rehearsal D. switch 123. One reason tor a change in the number of men staying home is ___. A. the stability in the number of highly-educated women who are working B. the fall in the number of highly-educated women who are working C. the rise in the number of highly-educated women who are working D. the fluctuation in the number of highly-educated women who are working Exercise 10. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. In 1812 a young man called James Barry finished his studies in medicine at Edinburgh University. After graduating he moved to London where he studied surgery at Guy’s Hospital. After that the popular young doctor joined the army and over the next forty years had a brilliant career as an army medical officer, working in many far-off countries and fighting successfully for improved conditions in hospitals. It was a remarkable career - made even more remarkable by the discovery upon his death that he was in fact a she, James Barry was a woman. No one was more surprised at this discovery than her many friends and colleagues. It was true that throughout her life people had remarked upon her small size, slight build and smooth pale face. One officer had even objected to her appointment as a medical assistant because he could not believe that Barry was old enough to have graduated in medicine. But no one had ever seriously suggested that Barry was anything other than a man. By all accounts Barry was a pleasant and good-humoured person with high cheekbones, reddish hair, a long nose and large eyes. She was well-liked by her patients and had a reputation for great speed in surgery - an important quality at a time when operations were performed without anaesthetic. She was also quick tempered. When she was working in army hospitals and prisons overseas, the terrible
42. conditions often made her very angry. She fought hard against injustice and cruelty and her temper sometimes got her into trouble with the authority. After a long career overseas, she returned to London where she died in 1865. While the undertaker’s assistant was preparing her body for burial, she discovered that James Barry was a woman. So why did James Barry deceive people for so long? At that time a woman could not study medicine, work as a doctor or join the army. Perhaps Barry had always wante to do these things and pretending to be a man was the only way to make it possible. Perhaps she was going to tell the truth one day, but didn’t because she was enjoying her life as a man too much. Whatever the reason, Barry's deception was successful.
