Mệnh đếầ độc lập là (independent clause): She had to walk a long street Mệnh đếầ phụ thuộc là (dependent clause): before she could get to her favourite shop. Một sốế dạng cầu phức thống dụng: Cầu phức có chứa mệnh đếầ trạng ngữ/ phó từ (adverbial clause). - Mệnh đếầ trạng ngữ chỉ sự tương phản bằết đâầu bởi liến từ although, though, hoặc even though. Mệnh đếầ này thể hiện những kếết quả khống mong muốến. Ví dụ: Although she was tred, she fnished knitng the scarf for her dad. Mặc dù mệt nhưng cô ây vâẫn hoàn thành việc đan khăn cho bôố mình. - Mệnh đếầ trạng ngữ chỉ mục đích bằết đâầu bằầng liếần từ so that hoặc in order that. Mệnh đếầ này thể hiện mục đích của hành động trong mệnh đếầ độc lập. Ví dụ: The artsan moulded the clay so that he could make a mask. Người thợ thủ công nặn đâốt sét để có thể tạo ra một cái mặt nạ. - Mệnh đếầ trạng ngữ để chỉ ra nguyến nhần của vâến đếầ bằết đâầu bởi liến từ because; since hoặc as. Mệnh đếầ này trả lời cho câu hỏi “Tại sao”. Ví dụ: Because/Since the water is polluted, the fsh are dead. Cá chếốt vì nước bị ô nhiếẫm.

Trong ví dụ đâầu tến, “that” - là dâếu hiệu của mệnh đếầ danh từ đã bị lược bỏ, mệnh đếầ đâầy đủ là: “that the game was lost”. Trong ví dụ thứ hai chúng ta có thể hiểu ý đâầy đủ là : “Afer he studied for his test.” Cầu phức có chứa dạng mệnh đếầ quan hệ (relative clause) (xem thếm phầần: mệnh đếầ quan hệ) Chú ý: Đặt dầếu phẩy cầu trong cầu phức: Câu phức phải có một mệnh đếầ độc lập và ít nhâết một mệnh đếầ phụ thuộc. Mệnh đếầ phụ thuộc này có thể ở đâầu câu, giữa câu hoặc cuốếi câu. Nếếu mệnh đếầ phụ thuộc đứng đâầu câu (trước mệnh đếầ độc lập) thì dâếu phẩy được đặt giữa hai mệnh đếầ, nếếu ngược lại thì khống có dâếu phẩy giữa hai mệnh đếầ. Ví dụ: Although the dog looked like a mongrel, It was actually a very rare and expensive dog. The dog, although it looked like a mongrel, was actually a very rare and expensive dog. The dog was actually a very rare and expensive dog although it looked like a mongrel. Các câu dù viếốt theo cách thức nào trong ba cách trến đếều không thay đổi vếề m ặt ý nghĩa.

Last year I visited the Somerset Levels, a coastal plain and wetland area in Somerset, South West England. This area is home to one of Somerset’s oldest traditonal crafs willow basket making. Basket making began in the area a long tme ago. At the beginning of the 19th century, more than three thousand acres of willow trees were planted commercially there because the area provided an excellent natural habitat for their cultvaton. I’d seen willow baskets before I visited the Levels, but I was stll amazed at the numerous products created by the basket makers there. They make lobster pots, bread trays, and even passenger baskets for hot air balloons. Although the arrival of plastcs in the 1950s caused the basket making industry to decline, willow growing and basket making have contnued to play a signifcant role in Somerset’s rural economy. Willow growers and basket makers have dealt with this challenge by fnding new markets and innovatve ways of using willow. They make willow charcoal for artsts and bower seats for gardens. Some even weave willow cofns. Therefore, people here can stll live on the craf that their great-grandparents passed down to them. a. Decide T (true)/ F (false) for each statement. N o 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Statements T F Willow basket making is the oldest traditional craft in Somerset. Willows can grow well in the area because of its favourable natural conditions. The presence of plastic products did not affect the growth of the basket making industry in the area in the 1950s. Basket making does not play an important role in the area now. Willow growers and basket makers have found new ways to promote their industry. Basket makers can live on their craft nowadays.             b. Answer the questions. 1.
