Kelvin is learning about animals from his dad, one of the things that he learns is that some animals attack and eat people. it is not often realized how many people are killed by animals each year . in India for instance several hundred people are killed every year by Tigers. thousands more are killed by snakes. crocodiles are equally dangerous in parts of Africa .America has a few dangerous wild animals every year a small number of people are killed by bears .these people have often gotten too close to a mother bears children. Cougars (giống cọp ở Mỹ) a type of large cat kill a few people every year, the most common killer though normally have small children is the domestic dog . people who get used to a modern lifestyle often forget about the realities of nature

Thứ Hai, 22 tháng 2, 2016

Rất nhiều người quan tâm là làm sao chúng ta có thể đạt đến trình độ nói và viết tiếng Anh mà không cần phải dịch trong đầu từ tiếng Việt. Làm thế nào để vượt qua?

Tôi nhớ lại câu chuyện của anh bạn tôi, giúp cho một sinh viên từ Việt Nam sang Mỹ du học. Cô sinh viên này phải viết một personal statement, một bài luận nói về chính mình khi nộp đơn vào trường. Khi nhận được email với bài luận từ Việt Nam gởi sang, có khá nhiều lỗi, nhưng có câu anh bạn tôi đọc mà không hiểu. Cô ta viết thế này, “If you try hard, you will become a needle one day.” Dịch sát chữ: “Nếu bạn cố gắng, một ngày nào đó sẽ thành chiếc kim khâu.” À thì ra “Có công mài sắc có ngày nên kim.”

Khi còn học ESL ở Houston, có lần thầy giáo writing viết vào bài làm của tôi mấy chữ to tướng “Do not translate from Vietnamese! – Không được dịch từ tiếng Việt.” Chả là khi viết bài tả về những thiếu nữ, tôi nói tuổi 15 là tuổi đẹp, tuổi trăng tròn – full moon age. Tiếng Anh có từ trăng tròn – full moon, nhưng không có tuổi trăng tròn, nên thầy giáo không hiểu.

Khi suy nghĩ để có ý tưởng, chúng ta có thể tư duy bằng tiếng Việt hay tiếng gì tùy ý, nhưng khi viết tiếng Anh, nên cẩn thận và cố gắng diễn đạt theo cách nói của tiếng Anh, đừng dịch. Một thói quen trong cách viết văn của người Việt Nam là hay trích ca dao, thơ, câu nói của những người nổi tiếng để làm cho bài văn của mình có trọng lượng hơn. Người Mỹ khi viết văn, phần lớn họ sử dụng chính ngôn ngữ do họ viết ra, ít khi trích dẫn (trừ những bài nghiên cứu chuyên môn). Vả lại, chúng ta đâu phải là những chuyên viên để có thể dịch thơ hay tục ngữ ca dao từ Việt sang Anh dễ dàng đâu.

Khi nói cũng thế, đừng dịch. Cũng là một kinh nghiệm tôi học được khi mới sang Mỹ. Đi làm chỗ nào người ta cũng hỏi địa chỉ và số điện thoại bằng tiếng Anh trong khi đó tôi gần như đã tạm nhớ khi nói bằng tiếng Việt. Mỗi lần người ta hỏi, tôi có cảm giác sợ vì vừa nói vừa dịch nó từ Việt sang Anh, mất giờ, và đôi khi làm cho những người nghe cảm thấy chán và bực mình. Còn ngượng ngịu hơn nữa khi đọc trôi chảy số điện thoại bằng tiếng Anh rồi thì lại loạng quạng khi đọc nó bằng tiếng Việt, thậm chí dịch ngược lại từ Anh sang Việt.

Có thể nói, nếu người nói tiếng Anh mà cứ dịch từ tiếng Việt, không bao giờ khá được. Nhiều câu nói tiếng Việt thấy quá thường, nhưng khi dịch sang tiếng Anh lại vô cùng khó. Tôi có người bà con làm thông dịch tiếng Việt tại tòa án ở Los Angeles, một hôm, có một bà thuộc loại đanh đá kiện một ông hàng xóm về tội quấy rối cuộc sống của bà ta. Bà nói với quan tòa: “Cái thằng này, đồ chết trôi! Cái thứ đầu trâu mặt ngựa! Cái thứ ma chê quỷ hờn. Trời đánh chết con đ… mẹ mày đi!” Chị ta cứ trợn mắt lên, không dịch nổi. Thật ra chỉ cần dịch “He is a bad guy – Anh này là người xấu” là được. Một chữ khác người Việt rất hay dùng là “nhõng nhẽo”, khó dịch sang tiếng Anh vô cùng. Chữ nhõng nhẽo trong tiếng Việt đâu chỉ áp dụng cho trẻ con, mà mọi lứa tuổi đều dùng được, cả nghĩa xấu lẫn nghĩa tốt. Thế rồi dịch làm sao? Tôi kiểm tra nhiều từ điển và hỏi nhiều người Việt tại Mỹ và giải thích cho người Mỹ để tìm từ tương đương, nhưng đành chịu thua. Tôi hay nói với mấy đứa nhỏ Việt Nam sinh tại Mỹ, “You are nhong nheo.” Chúng nó hiểu.

Theo kinh nghiệm học nói tiếng Anh của tôi, tôi nghĩ, nên học theo tình huống ứng xử của người nói tiếng Anh, cũng đừng suy nghĩ phải ráp “S + V + Object…” rất tốn thời gian và làm cho chúng ta mất tự tin khi nói. Nên học thuộc nhiều mẫu câu và cụm từ là thượng sách. Nó sẽ giúp bạn nói trôi chảy hơn nhiều so với ráp câu. Ví dụ, chúng ta muốn nói một câu trong tình huống “Quá… tôi không thể… – It is too… for me to…” Nóng quá, tôi không uống được – It is too hot for me to drink.

Nặng quá, tôi không xách được – It is too heavy for me to carry. Lạnh quá, tôi không ra ngoài được – It is too cold for me to go out.” Khi mới học thuộc mẫu câu nào, cố gắng đem nó ra áp dụng.

Nhiều học sinh Việt Nam du học tại Mỹ, trong lớp ít phát biểu là vì vừa nói vừa dịch. Bao giờ thoát ra khỏi dịch nghĩa từ tiếng Việt, bấy giờ chúng ta tiến rất nhanh. Trong khi đó, cách học ở Mỹ mở ra cho các học sinh quốc tế nhiều cơ hội để nói. Một buổi học thầy cô giảng không bao nhiêu, phần lớn thời gian dành cho các học sinh bàn luận. Khi thì bàn luận theo nhóm, lúc thì phát biểu từng cá nhân. Nếu chúng ta nói cứ ấm ớ, đó là một trở ngại rất lớn cho việc tiến thân trên con đường học vấn tại Mỹ.

lesson 33: Talking About Daily Activities

Basic patterns:

we are you going?

what are you doing now?

I don't have to shave everyday

I usually take too long eating breakfast

if I don't eat breakfast then I don't have enough energy during the day

I've got to go brush my teeth

i dont have time to take a shower now

I never have time for lunch at work

every day I have to drive forty minutes to work

did the mail come today ?

have you seen today's paper ?

i watch the news every night

I like to exercise in the morning

most nights I just go out to eat

did you take the dog for a walk?

did you have a good day at work?

Dialogue 1:

where are you going ?

i'm going to the store, I need to buy some new razor blades

at this hour, it's almost midnight

I know but I have a job interview tomorrow, I'm out of sharp razors

I guess you don't want to make a bad impression with a bad shave

exactly to be honest I hate shaving everyday

I can't sympathize I don't have to shave everyday

some guys don't, they're lucky, I have to or start to look at a bear

maybe you should let yourself look like a bear

very funny ,what kind of job or girlfriend when I get then

that's true but then he wouldn't have to shave everyday

some things are worth the trouble

as long as you're happy I'm happy anyway you'd better go before the store closes

right I'll be back in a little bit

Dialogue 2:

look at the time, it's five minutes past nine

I guess I'm late for work again

I hate to ask but why are you late so often?

if you must know it's because of i usually take too long eating breakfast

really I almost never eat breakfast especially during the week

I don't see how you do that I have to eat breakfast every day

why is it a habit for you

No, if I don't eat breakfast then I don't have enough energy during the day

I guess I'm lucky that I don't have that problem

yes you do, do you notice how tired you get later in the morning ?

that's what I drink coffee to wake me up

that works but its artificial you're not really getting any real energy

maybe but I'm not late for work either

work is not the most important part of life

it is for me I should say that breakfast is a daily habit for you and coffee is a daily habit for me

breakfast is not a habit, it's a healthy way to live

I'd love to talk about this more, but I got to get back to work, we can talk more over coffee later

Dialogue 3

did you check your email today?

no i didn't have time. why ?

our friend Steve just got a new job in Chicago

that's great by the way do you check your email every day?

every morning and night , it's a habit , I like to stay informed

what are you afraid of missing , I doubt your life is that exciting

very funny I'm already on the Internet, why not take an extra minute to look for new email ?

I don't because half of my email is just advertisements. its garbage

mind too but I still like to know what's going on

well then I can count on you to tell me what's happening with their friends

don't worry I won't let you down on that job

I know that's what I think is so funny

Dialogue 4

I thought I saw you out running this morning

you probably did , I was out jogging

that's good you go every morning

I tried to unless the weather is bad or I'm not feeling well

really I never feel well if that means jogging in Sunrise

does that mean you don't enjoy running

it certainly does especially so early

I understand that, it is hard to get out of bed in the morning a lot of times

and why you do it

it's become a habit, I don't feel wake in the morning unless I go running first

I guess I could see how that might be true but I'd rather get a bit more sleep

I have to get up out of bed and start to get dressed before I can think about it

you don't goes off and you get up immediately

yes immediately, otherwise i realize how tired I feel and just fall back asleep

what about when it's cold in the morning

like any other activity I just wear warmer clothes

I guess that makes sense

maybe you should come with me sometime

maybe not you have fun I'll sleep late

Dialogue 5

what are you doing now ?

I'm going home to water my plants

do you have to do that every day ?

of course don't you need water every day?

I hadn't thought of it like that

do you have to do anything else to take care of them ?

not really I just have to give them plenty of sunlight and some plant food

that's not too much work but isn't it hard to do it every day?

sometimes it's not convenient that it's easier than taking care of a child

what does that have to do with the subject?

one day I wanted child if I can take care of a plant how can I take care of a child

Monologue

electronic mail or email has changed much about the way of the world works

in less than a decade it has become almost as common as the telephone in many areas

in fact it is cheaper in making a long distance call

furthermore it enables people to send more than just words

they can also send pictures songs and even movies

some critics warn that emails cause poor writing skills

people usually do not make an effort to have their emails use correct grammar as they

do with letters

also emails are easy to misunderstand without someone available to explain them

to prevent any misunderstandings some people use little symbols that represent emotions in their emails

this way the reader can know what the speaker was trying to say and how they meant to say it

veterinarians are doctors for animals

some work with farm animals and theirmain customers are farmers

others work with special animals such as racing horses or military dogs

a few even work with wild animals

like other doctors most veterinarians focus on some part of medical care

most veterinarians work with domestic pets

and animal has medical needs throughout its life

when very young it is important to get certain injections to prevent some diseases

it is also quite common to operate on the animal to make it unable to breed

as the animal gets older it also needs more care just like people

accidents of course may also occur and these are also treated by veterinarians

Gandhi once said that a nation can be judged by how its animals are treated

many Americans would agree with that statement
