NHỮNG CUỐN SÁCH IELTS QUÁ NỔI TIẾNG NHƯNG KHÔNG NÊN DÙNG
Có những đầu sách vô cùng nổi tiếng, bạn chắn chắn đã nghe tên, nhưng không nên dùng. Hãy chú ý danh sách đen sau đây để tránh nhé!
🍄 Bộ IELTS Cambridge từ 1 đến 6
Với tốc độ mỗi năm ra một cuốn Cam thì cuốn Cam số 1 có lẽ phải từ khoảng năm 2005 rồi các bạn ạ. Quá cũ rồi! Cách ra đề của những cuốn Cam 1-6 có phần đã lỗi thời, và thậm chí dễ hơn, ngắn hơn so với đề thi thật hiện tại
Thay vào đó, cô rất recommend các bạn sử dụng bộ Cam từ 7-16, tương đương với 10 cuốn, mỗi cuốn 4 đề > Tổng chúng ta có đến 40 đề LisRead siêu xịn để thực hành rồi nhé
🍄 Bộ IELTS Listening and Reading Actual Tests
Bộ này được cho là sưu tầm những bài đọc/nghe đã từng xuất hiện trong đề thi thật, nhưng nhược điểm của nó là: Mỗi đề thi có lẽ là sự chép ghép của nhiều bài đọc/nghe từ nhiều ngày thi khác nhau > Có những đề dễ hơn hẳn và có những đề khó khăn hẳn so với đề thi thật. Format đề thi cũng không được chuẩn, ví dụ như thực tế IELTS Reading Test không thể thiếu dạng Matching headings, hoặc Matching information to paragraphs nhưng rất nhiều test trong bộ này không hề có các dạng trên.
🍄 Listening and Reading Strategies
Cuốn này có những lỗi sai. Ví dụ như có một số dạng câu hỏi trong IELTS Reading như True False Not given thì thống tin luôn xuất hiện theo thứ tự từ trên xuống dưới trong bài đọc, nhưng cuốn Reading Strategies lại không 100% đi theo rules này. Hoặc như với Gap filling thì ta chỉ được sử dụng từ vựng trong bài đọc/nghe để điền vào chỗ trống, nhưng Listening/Reading strategies lại cho phép thay đổi word form - từ loại. Điều này rất không hợp lý!
Mỗi cuốn sách khi xuất bản đều mang đến nhiều giá trị, chỉ là chúng 'không còn hợp thời' như một bộ quần áo, một chiếc điện thoại .... Ta vẫn có thể sử dụng, nhưng phải lựa và hiểu nó, hoặc không hãy tìm đến những cuốn sách cập nhật hơn nhé!

【《刻在你心底的名字》的英文電影名,外國人看得懂嗎?】
不管因為你是廣仲迷、想支持國片的、還是因為兩位鮮肉的演技、或是電影迷,應該都聽過「#刻在你心底的名字」。這篇文章想要來分析這部電影的英文名,並用 #3D英文筆記術 的學習視野 (跟 #小朋友筆記 不同喔) 來看該怎麼學習字彙。
先講 #結論:電影有個英文名,不管是 "Your Name Engraved Herein" 還是 “The Name Engraved in Your Heart” 都採用了 engrave (v) 這個字。雖然無法跟 Call Me by Your Name 這種簡短但情深的小說改編電影名媲美,但單以英文的角度來看,我覺得算取得很不錯了喔。
► 想到「刻」,很多人第一秒鐘想到的是 carve (v)。的確,不管是
engrave 還是 carve 都有刻的意思,但 engrave 又會更好。
�#劍橋字典 (Cambridge Dictionary) 其實有特別替 engrave 這樣定義:If something is engraved in your memory, mind, or heart, it is something you will never forget.
是否非常符合這個電影的感覺呢?而這也是 carve 一個字單獨沒辦法帶出的用法。
✔︎ 我們可能用了一輩子的 #小朋友筆記:
・carve = engrave (v) 雕刻、刻畫
(engrave 特別有刻畫在心中的感覺=銘記)
定義:to fix deeply or permanently in the mind
記完後,是否還是有種 #不知道怎樣用 的感覺呢?
✔︎ #3D英文筆記 (以 #語料庫 協助學習 #刻記 相關用法):
・sth to be engraved in / on sb’s memory / mind 讓~難以忘懷
The incident remains engraved on my mind. 這個事件深深地印記在我的心上。
・to be carved / set in stone (片) 某件事情已經難以改變
・相反:sth is subject to change 某件事情仍可能會被改變
例:(3D) The schedule isn’t set in stone. It’s subject to change.
常常加上 sth is not carved in stone 的像是 schedule, rules, proposal, plan 等等。
► 延伸 2D:
indelible memory 難以往懷的回憶 have an indelible memory of sth
unforgettable experience 難以忘懷的經驗

- Hôm nay chúng ta cùng luyện 1 bài đọc và xem những từ vựng hay trong bài đó nha.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN'S PLAY
Brick by brick, six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom. Imagining fairy-tale turrets and fire-breathing dragons, wicked witches and gallant heroes, she's creating an enchanting world. Although she isn't aware of it, this fantasy is helping her take her first steps towards her capacity for creativity and so it will have important repercussions in her adult life.
wicked (adj): độc ác;
gallant (adj): dũng cảm
enchanting (adj): mê hoặc;
repercussion (n): kết quả
Minutes later, Alice has abandoned the kingdom in favour of playing schools with her younger brother. When she bosses him around as his 'teacher', she's practising how to regulate her emotions through pretence. Later on, when they tire of this and settle down with a board game, she's learning about the need to follow rules and take turns with a partner.
abandon (v): bỏ rơi
regulate (v): điều chỉnh
'Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species,' says Dr David Whitebread from the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge, UK. 'It underpins how we develop as intellectual, problem-solving adults and is
crucial to our success as a highly adaptable species.'
achievement (n): thành quả
intellectual (n): người trí thức
Recognising the importance of play is not new: over two millennia ago, the Greek philosopher Plato extolled its virtues as a means of developing skills for adult life, and ideas about play-based learning have been developing since the 19th century.
But we live in changing times, and Whitebread is mindful of a worldwide decline in play, pointing out that over half the people in the world now live in cities. 'The opportunities for free play, which I experienced almost every day of my childhood, are becoming increasingly scarce,' he says. Outdoor play is curtailed by perceptions of risk to do with traffic, as well as parents' increased wish to protect their children from being the victims of crime, and by the emphasis on 'earlier is better' which is leading to greater competition in academic learning and schools.
International bodies like the United Nations and the European Union have begun to develop policies concerned with children's right to play, and to consider implications for leisure facilities and educational programmes. But what they often lack is the evidence to base policies on.
mindful (adj): quan tâm
scarce (adj): ít
perception (n): quan điểm
implication (n): ngụ ý
'The type of play we are interested in is child-initiated, spontaneous and unpredictable - but, as soon as you ask a five-year-old "to play", then you as the researcher have intervened,' explains Dr Sara Baker. 'And we want to know what the long-term impact of play is. It's a real challenge.' Dr Jenny Gibson agrees, pointing out that although some of the steps in the puzzle of how and why play is important have been looked at, there is very little data on the impact it has on the child's later life.
Now, thanks to the university's new Centre for Research on Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL), Whitebread, Baker, Gibson and a team of researchers hope to provide evidence on the role played by play in how a child develops.
'A strong possibility is that play supports the early development of children's self-control,' explains Baker. 'This is our ability to develop awareness of our own thinking processes - it influences how effectively we go about undertaking challenging activities.'
spontaneous (adj): bất ngờ
unpredictable (adj): không thể đoán được
impact (n): ảnh hưởng possibility (n): khả năng
self-control (n): tự kiểm soát
In a study carried out by Baker with toddlers and young pre-schoolers, she found that children with greater self-control solved problems more quickly when exploring an unfamiliar set-up requiring scientific reasoning. 'This sort of evidence makes us think that giving children the chance to play will make them more successful problem-solvers in the long run.'
If playful experiences do facilitate this aspect of development, say the researchers, it could be extremely significant for educational practices, because the ability to self-regulate has been shown to be a key predictor of academic performance.
Gibson adds: 'Playful behaviour is also an important indicator of healthy social and emotional development. In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can�give us important clues about their well-being and can even be useful in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.'
toddler (n): trẻ mới biết đi
pre-schooler (n): trẻ nhỏ tuổi
unfamiliar (adj): không quen thuộc facilitate (n): tạo điều kiện cho
diagnosis (n): chẩn đoán
autism (n): tự kỷ

Privacy is a fundamental pillar of our society. The advertisement-based model of our internet is a threat to our freedom. Phil and Göran discuss why privacy came into mainstream focus again via Cambridge Analytica and why it opens the door for the manipulation of our society.
While many countries increase their surveillance system to a sophisticated level, Europe is pioneering privacy rules with the GDPR.
