I. Sentence Structure in Simple Sentences. (pages 157-158, Literature 11, Vol. 1):

Exercise 1:

a/ The sentence can be arranged in the order "very sharp, but small": the sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense.

However, in this context, it does not match the intended purpose of threatening or intimidating the opponent.

b/ Arranging in the order "small, but very sharp" emphasizes the focus on "very sharp", which aligns with the implied threat.

c/ This word order fits the purpose of mocking and negating the effect of the knife.

Exercise 2:

- The first arrangement is suitable as the focus of the message is on "very intelligent".

Exercise 3:

- The adverbials can be placed at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence. Therefore, the adverbials in the three excerpts are appropriately positioned based on the message content.

a/ The paragraph about Mị being captured starts by setting the time context.

The following sentence “the next morning” should be placed at the beginning to continue the timeline.

b/ The subject of action is introduced first, with the time expression placed in the middle to link with the previous sentence, focusing on identifying the parent of Chí Phèo.

c/ This placement is appropriate for providing familiar information or well-known details.

II. Sentence Structure in Compound Sentences. (pages 158-159, Literature 11, Vol. 1):

Exercise 1:

a/ Main clause: He felt a bit sad.

The subordinate clause explaining the reason comes after: it was because of the distant story.

=> This easily connects with the following sentences.

b/ The clause indicating concession comes after to provide additional information.

Exercise 2:

- Choose option C.

2. Sample Lesson Plan 5

I - ORDER IN SIMPLE SENTENCES

Sentence 1 (pages 157, Literature 11, Vol. 1)

a) If the bolded part is arranged as: "...it is a very sharp but small knife..." the sentence itself is grammatically and semantically correct. Since the phrases "very sharp" and "small" are coordinate adjectives that modify the noun "knife", the sentence is valid. However, in the context of the passage, this word order does not align with the purpose of threatening the opponent.

b) Reordering the words to place "very sharp" before "small" emphasizes the sharpness, which aligns with the intent to threaten or intimidate.

c) In this context, the speaker aims to mock and negate the effect of the knife, so placing "small" at the end of the sentence fits the intended meaning.

Sentence 2 (pages 157, Literature 11, Vol. 1)

- The sentence structure in option A is appropriate as it emphasizes the phrase "very intelligent" as the main focus of the message, which is crucial in leading to the second sentence. Therefore, the phrase "very intelligent" should be placed after "small".

Sentence 3 (pages 158, Literature 11, Vol. 1)

a. Adverbials at the end of the sentence help clarify the sequence of events: "one late night" -> "the next morning".

b. Placing the adverbial in the middle emphasizes the early time, such as the early morning before the mist lifted. Chí Phèo was discarded in the brick kiln.

c. At the end of the sentence, the adverbial emphasizes the time, highlighting Mị’s life as a daughter-in-law burdened by debt.

II - ORDER IN COMPOUND SENTENCES

Sentence 1 (pages 158, Literature 11, Vol. 1)

a) The subordinate clause indicating cause ("because the story reminded him of something distant") should follow the main clause ("he felt a bit sad") as it continues to expand on the idea introduced in the subsequent sentences, further explaining "he" (Chí Phèo).

- The main clause comes first to link with the previous sentences, continuing to describe Chí Phèo.

b) The clauses indicating concession or hypothesis are usually placed before the main clause as they are subordinate structures. These are placed later to add necessary information such as "being grateful".

Sentence 2 (pages 158, Literature 11, Vol. 1)

This passage uses a general statement, with the subsequent sentences providing specifics. The first sentence talks about recent years, while the others describe historical periods when famous people developed and mastered the fast-reading method. This relates to the past.

- The adverbial phrase "in recent years" should be placed at the beginning of the sentence to contrast with "in earlier periods" in sentence 2.

- The clause "it is not a new phenomenon" should come at the end of the first sentence to highlight the theme of the paragraph, which will be elaborated upon in the following sentences.

- The clause "fast reading methods have become widespread" should precede the clause "it is not a new phenomenon" to maintain logical flow. This structure is grammatically sound and helps link the sentences together.

3. Sample Lesson Plan 6

I - ORDER IN SIMPLE SENTENCES Question 1 (page 157, 11th-grade literature textbook, volume 1) Given the excerpt, answer the questions: He searched all his pockets for something, then took out a small but very sharp knife. He gritted his teeth and continued: - Yes, sir, if it doesn't work, I will kill a few people, and then you can have me handed over to the district authorities. (Nam Cao - Chí Phèo) a) Can the bolded part be rearranged to "very sharp, but small" and still make sense within the context of the passage? b) What effect does rearranging the words as "small, but very sharp" have on the meaning of the sentence and the coherence of the passage? c) Compare this word order with the sentence structure in the following: He has a very sharp but small knife. How could that possibly chop down this big tree branch? In each case, what is the purpose of the word order in the sentences? (Consider the relationship to the surrounding sentences.) Answer: a) If we change the order of the bolded parts to: "It is a very sharp, but small knife", the sentence's meaning and grammatical structure wouldn't be wrong. However, in the context of the passage, this order doesn't fit the purpose of the action. The author of the passage wants to emphasize the threatening intention of the character Chí Phèo toward Bá Kiến. b) If we switch "small" with "very sharp", the intended meaning (threatening and intimidating the opponent) would be downplayed, and the threat toward Bá Kiến would not be emphasized as strongly. c) Changing the order of the adjectives in the passage above would not be reasonable. However, in a different context, this inversion might make sense. For example, in the sentence: "He must have a very sharp but small knife. How could it possibly chop this large branch?", the speaker's intention is to deny the knife's effectiveness. Therefore, in this case, reversing the order of the adjectives is appropriate. Thus, in each communication situation, it is important to determine the focal point of the message and adjust the word order for maximum effectiveness in conveying the meaning. Question 2 (page 157, 11th-grade literature textbook, volume 1) Choose the optimal phrasing and explain your choice. Answer: There are two possible sentences: - My friend is small but very smart. The teacher has included him in the gifted students team. - My friend is very smart, but small. The teacher has included him in the gifted students team. Among these two sentences, the first one clearly seems more appropriate. In the first sentence, the phrase "very smart" is the focal point, the most important argument leading to the conclusion: "The teacher has included him in the gifted students team." The second sentence does not align well with the argument, as it does not emphasize the main point the speaker wants to highlight (the friend's intelligence). In the first case, the two sentences present an argument: the first sentence provides the reason, and the second sentence offers the conclusion. The first sentence, with "very smart" positioned after the subject, emphasizes it. Question 3 (page 158, 11th-grade literature textbook, volume 1) Analyze the effect of each word order. Answer: The three provided passages all include time-related components (time expressions). According to grammatical rules, these components can be placed at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence. However, in each specific context, the arrangement varies because each author aims for different effects. a) Passage 1: ... One late night, Mị heard the sound of knocking on the wall /.../. Mị stepped out and immediately several people surrounded her, stuffed a cloth in her mouth, blindfolded her, and carried her away. The next morning, Mị realized she was sitting in the house of the district head Pá Tra... (Tô Hoài — Vợ chồng A Phủ) In this passage, the time expression (One late night) is placed at the beginning because it sets the time context for the events that follow (Mị being captured and taken away). In the next sentence, the time expression (The next morning) functions both to link the sentences and to indicate the time frame of the following event. Placing it at the end or in the middle would disrupt the flow and lose the logical connection between the events. b) Passage 2: ... But who knows who gave birth to Chí Phèo? No one knows, not even the whole village of Vũ Đại... One early morning, an man went out to set a fish trap and found him naked and gray in a ragged garment... (Nam Cao — Chí Phèo) Here, the time expression (one early morning) is placed in the middle of the sentence, after the action performed by a character (A man went out to set a fish trap). This word order is necessary because the previous sentences focus on the question of who knows who gave birth to Chí Phèo, so it makes sense to continue the narrative by mentioning the person who is performing the action, not the time of the action. c) Passage 3: ... But then it was revealed that she was not the daughter of the Pá Tra family: she was A Sử's wife, the son of the district head Pá Tra. Mị has been married to A Sử for several years now. (Tô Hoài — Vợ chồng A Phủ) In this case, the time expression (for several years now) is placed at the end of the sentence. This placement is due to its function in providing new information, as it highlights the fact that Mị has been married for several years, which contrasts with the previous information about her background. Although it is grammatically a secondary element in the sentence, it holds significant informational value, so it is placed at the end, where new or important information is typically found. II - ORDER IN COMPOUND SENTENCES Question 1 (page 158, 11th-grade literature textbook, volume 1) In the following compound sentences, why is the bolded part placed after the other clause? What happens if it is placed at the beginning? Answer: Consider the following passage: Chí Phèo was sure that one woman would ask another woman who went to sell cloth in Nam Định, and the first woman would feel nostalgic and sad because the story reminded him of something distant. It seemed like there was a time when he had dreamed of having a small family. The husband would work as a day laborer and the wife would weave cloth. (Nam Cao — Chí Phèo) In this passage, the subordinate clause (the bolded part) is placed after the main clause (He felt nostalgic) because the main clause connects easily with the previous sentence (it continues to provide information about Chí Phèo's thoughts). The subordinate clause, which explains the cause of the main action, follows naturally to reinforce the theme of the passage. b) Consider this passage: Excuse me, that is your sister's private matter. It's up to her how she behaves. I have no right to interfere, but for both your sister and the district head, I am still indebted to them. (Khái Hưng — Nứa chừng xuân) In this compound sentence, the concessive clause (but for both your sister and the district head) is placed after the main clause to emphasize the new, additional information that follows. It also provides a necessary context for the speaker's statement. Question 2 (page 159, 11th-grade literature textbook, volume 1) Choose the most appropriate sentence to fill in the blank at the beginning of the following paragraph. [...] In different periods, famous politicians and writers have developed it and fully mastered it. For example, Napoleon read at a speed of 2000 words per minute, Bandac read 4000 words per minute, Maxim Gorky read each page in just a few seconds,... (According to Cultural History, 1987-1990) A - Fast reading methods are not new, but in recent years, they have been widely popularized. B - In recent years, fast reading methods have been widely popularized, but they are not new. C - In recent years, fast reading methods have been widely popularized, but they are not new. D - Fast reading methods are not new, but they have been widely popularized in recent years. Answer: To choose the optimal sentence for the blank space at the beginning of the paragraph, we need to consider the relationship with the rest of the text. The following sentences discuss how various people have mastered the art of fast reading, which implies the earlier sentence should highlight the recent popularity of the methods. Based on this, the sentence that best links the ideas is: - The phrase "In recent years" should begin the sentence to contrast with the mention of "different periods" in the next sentence. - The clause "they are not new" should come after the main information about the widespread popularization of fast reading, as this is the key idea to link the subsequent sentences. Thus, the best option is C.

I. Word Order in Simple Sentences

a) Changing the bolded part to "it is a very sharp but small knife" is grammatically correct.

+ However, when placed in the paragraph, it does not align with the intended action of threatening and intimidating Bá Kiến by Chí Phèo.

b) When switching the positions of "small" and "very sharp," the meaning the author wants to emphasize is weakened, and the intended effect is not achieved.

c) Rearranging the word order in this context does not make sense, but in different situations or contexts, rearranging might work better.

The first sentence structure is preferable as it makes "very intelligent" the focal point, the most important argument leading to the conclusion.

- In Passage 1: The time phrase "a late night" is placed at the beginning of the sentence to set the scene for the events that follow. The time phrase "the next morning" serves as a connector and should also be placed at the beginning of the sentence.

- In Passage 2: The time phrase "a crisp early morning" is placed in the middle of the sentence, following the subject's action.

- In Passage 3: The phrase "for several years" is placed at the end of the sentence because it serves as new information, the key point of the message. Although grammatically secondary, it holds significant informational value and must be placed at the end.

II. Word Order in Compound Sentences

Question 1 (page 159, Literature 11)

a) The cause clause (bolded) should be placed after the main clause (He felt uneasy). The bolded part should also connect with the subsequent sentence, as it explains a distant memory.

- Placing the main clause first helps it link with the previous sentence, while the subordinate clause, placed second, connects better with the following sentences.

b) In the compound sentence, the concessive clause (although for my sister, as well as for the district chief) is placed after to emphasize the point and provide additional context.

Question 2 (page 159, Literature 11)

The most suitable sentence: C

Reason: The other sentences in the paragraph refer to previous periods when famous people developed and mastered speed reading. Thus, the first sentence refers to recent years.

- In the compound sentence, the clause "it's not something new" should be placed after as it carries the most crucial information and helps link the sentence logically.

5. Sample Lesson Plan 2

I. Word Order in Simple Sentences

Sentence 1 (page 157, Literature 11):

a. The order "very sharp, but small" is not appropriate.

b. The order "small, but very sharp" emphasizes the knife's sharpness.

- This shows Chí Phèo's reckless behavior in demanding attention.

- It also makes Bá Kiến fearful of him.

c. The order "very sharp but small" is the most logical, highlighting the knife's small size to explain why it can't chop a tree branch.

→ The word order in a sentence helps link ideas logically with the surrounding context.

Sentence 2 (page 157, Literature 11):

+ Option A: My friend is small but very intelligent. The teacher selected her for the gifted student team.

+ Reason: The emphasis is on her intelligence, explaining why she was chosen for the team → creating a logical connection between the ideas.

Sentence 3 (page 158, Literature 11):

a. The time phrases "a late night" and "the next morning" are placed at the beginning of each sentence to represent the passage of time, reflecting Mị's life's progression.

b. The phrase "a crisp early morning" adds more information, linking the two parts of the sentence while emphasizing Chí Phèo's origins.

c. The phrase "several years" reflects the time that has passed, symbolizing Mị's suffering while living at the Pá Tra's landlord's house.

II. Word Order in Compound Sentences

Sentence 1 (page 158, Literature 11):

a. The bolded clause should come later to ensure the sentence connects logically to the next sentence, referring to Chí Phèo's past dreams.

b. Placing the bolded clause at the end helps emphasize the character's attitude towards the listener: gratitude and an unforgettable experience.

Sentence 2 (page 159, Literature 11):

The most suitable sentence: C. In recent years, speed-reading methods have become widely popular, but they are not new.

6. Sample Lesson Plan 3

I. Word Order in Simple Sentences

Sentence 1 (page 157, Literature 11):

a. If we change the bolded part to "this is a very sharp but small knife", the grammar and meaning remain correct, but this order doesn't fit the context. The original sentence is meant to emphasize the threat posed by Chí Phèo to Bá Kiến.

b. Reversing the order of "small" and "very sharp" diminishes the author's intended emphasis, and the threatening nature of Chí Phèo’s message is lost.

c. The word order in the example is most effective in this context, though in a different setting or context, reversing the order might be more appropriate.

For instance, in the sentence: "He has a very sharp but small knife. How could it chop this branch!" we see how word order impacts the meaning and context.

Therefore, in every communication situation, it's important to choose the right word order to highlight the key message effectively.

Sentence 2 (page 157, Literature 11):

Among the two options, the first one is more appropriate. It highlights the key point—"very intelligent"—which serves as the key argument for the conclusion that the teacher selected this student for the gifted team.

Sentence 3 (page 158, Literature 11):

a. The phrase "a late night" at the beginning of the sentence sets the context for the following events, while the phrase "the next morning" serves both as a time indicator and a connector to the following sentence.

b. The time phrase "a fresh early morning" appears in the middle of the sentence, following the action of the subject (a man went out to release the eel trap). The subject is introduced first, followed by the time phrase, linking the previous ideas about the character's background.

c. In this case, the time phrase "several years" appears at the end of the sentence because it carries the key information—the time Mị became a bride at the Pá Tra's household.

II. Word Order in Compound Sentences

Sentence 1 (page 158, Literature 11):

a. The bolded clause follows the main clause ("He was feeling gloomy again") to connect with the previous sentence, as it continues to expand on Chí Phèo's thoughts. It also connects smoothly to the next sentence, giving more context to a vague idea from earlier.

b. In compound sentences, the concessive clause ("though to her, as well as to the local magistrate") comes after the main clause to emphasize the meaning and provide additional necessary information.

Sentence 2 (page 159, Literature 11):

To ensure a smooth connection with the previous sentences, the blank should be filled as follows:

- Place the adverbial phrase "In recent years" at the beginning of the clause to contrast with "In previous times" from the second sentence.

- Place the phrase "it's nothing new" after the main clause, as it holds the most important information and provides a logical connection with the following sentence.

=> Therefore, the best choice is option C: "In recent years, speed-reading methods have become widely popular, but they are not new."
