- “Although/ though” được dùng để chỉ mối quan hệ đối lập hoặc tương phản giữa hai
thông tin trong cùng một câu.

Even though/Although + clause 1,

clause
Cấu trúc/ Ví
E.g: Athough he has watched Zootopia two times, he still buys a DVD
dụ
version of it.
(Mặc dù anh ấy đã xem Zootopia hai lần, anh ấy vẫn mua bản DVD
của nó)
Lưu ý
- Although có thể đứng ở đầu câu hoặc giữa hai mệnh đề. Khi đứng giữa câu thì ta
bỏ dấu phẩy.
E.g: Although Macaulay Culkin is young, he performs well in Home Alone.
(Dù Macaulay Culkin còn trẻ, cậu ấy thể hiện rất tốt trong phim Home Alone.)
I didn’t watch the film although it was very interesting.
(Tôi đã không xem bộ phim mặc dù nó rất thú vị.)
- Đôi khi dùng though thay cho although, và cấu trúc câu vẫn không thay đổi.
E.g: Stacy didn’t get a ticket though she came to the cinema early.
(Stacy không có được vé dù cô ấy đến rạp phim sớm.)
- Một khi đã dùng alhough/ though thì không dùng but (dù được hiểu ngầm).

II. However (tuy nhiên, tuy vậy)

- “However” chỉ mối quan hê đối lập giữa hai câu chứ không phải giữa hai mệnh đề. Hai câu
này có thể ngăn cách nhau bởi dấu chấm phẩy (;).

cho tính từ hoặc trạng từ theo sau nó.
E.g: However small the budget is, up brings huge profit.
(Dù có kinh phí thấp, phim Up mang về lợi nhuận khổng lồ.)

Have you ever read Alice In Wonderland, by Lewis Carol?
I did and I really like it. It’s an adventure story full of magic
and danger. Yesterday I saw Tim Burton’s version of the film
at the cinema.
This story is about Alice, who is now a teenager. A man
wants to marry her, but she runs away and falls down a
rabbit hole. She travels to Wonderland, which she has
visited before as a child, and meets a lot of amazing
characters on her adventures.
There are a lot of good special effects in the film. The Red Queen, played by Helena
Bonham Carter, is very scary, and Johnny Depp is brilliant as the Mad Hatter. He has acted
in a lot of films before but this is my favourite one. Mia Waslkowska is good as Alice; this is
her first big film and I think she’s going to become a big star!
Overall, I think this is a good film for teenagers, but it’s a bit long. You should see it if
you like fantasy and adventure, but don’t go if you like romances: it’s not a love story.

I love going to the cinema because there are always eight films on at our local cinema
complex, and it’s really modern. The ice cream is fantastic and there’s great popcorn and
other snacks. I go with my friends every Friday. We all like science fiction films with action
and suspense. We are also great fans of special effects, so we love films like Avatar and
Transformers.
Katie, 13
I don’t like horror films or science fiction films but I love romantic comedies. One of my

My favourite actors
I like a lot of different actors, but my real favourites are Daniel Craig
and Halle Berry.
Daniel Craig is British and he’s a really talented actor. He’s been in
a lot of different kinds of films including action adventure, science fiction,
and romantic drama, but he always gives an excellent performance. He
was brilliant in Tomb Raider as Alex West, but my favourite film is Casino
Royale. I think Daniel Craig is a fantastic James Bond.
Halle Berry is American. She was a model, but then decided to become an actress. I like
her because she’s beautiful. She’s a good actress and I think she has a great sense of
humour. I’m not keen on some of her films, such as Catwoman, but her other films are
excellent. My favourite is X-Men which is a science fiction film. She plays the main character
Storm, who has the ability to change the weather.
Daniel Craig and Halle Berry are both entertaining and talented actors. I love watching
their films.

Daniel Jones
If you’ve ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most
predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is
something amateurish out of filmmaker college. There is some nice cinematography but the
Hawaiian scenery is not enough to save this film. Great support acting from the Frenchman
Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar.
#Pirates At the Speed Of Light
Angela Moore
I just love this fast-moving pirate thriller. The story moves at dizzying speed from one
terrifying battle scene to the next and you really feel as if you are on the ships with these
evil thieves and smugglers. Chief pirate, British actor Colin Williams, is given all the best,
wittiest lines and the film has its share of laughs as well as scary moments. The storm scene
at the beginning leaves you both exhausted and terrified.
