Tầm quan trọng của viết lại câu tiếng Anh
Đây là một trong những kĩ năng đặc biệt quan trọng, bởi nhờ đó:
- Giúp bạn tránh được các lỗi trùng lặp từ hay đạo văn khi tham khảo các nguồn tài liệu khác nhau, đồng thời giúp bài viết tránh bị rời rạc, lủng củng, hay bị ngắt quãng giữa chừng bởi những câu trích dẫn (đặc biệt là trong trường hợp lạm dụng trích dẫn)
- Giúp bạn tóm lược nội dung bài nói/ viết một đơn giản và dễ hiểu hơn (trong trường hợp bạn muốn giải thích hay tóm tắt các luận điểm)
- Tận dụng việc paraphrase lại câu hỏi để có thêm thời gian suy nghĩ câu trả lời
5 cách viết lại câu tiếng Anh
1. Cách 1: Dùng từ đồng nghĩa
Từ đồng nghĩa (Synonym) những từ cùng một loại từ mang ý nghĩa giống nhau. Tuy nhiên, các từ có thể khác nhau về nghĩa hiển thị do đó các từ có thể thay thế cho nhau hay không phải dựa theo từng ngữ cảnh.
Ví dụ: advantages = benefits, pros, the plus points
Sử dụng từ đồng nghĩa trong việc viết lại câu là một trong những cách cơ bản và hiệu quả nhất. Tuy nhiên, trong quá trình tìm từ vựng phù hợp để thay thế keyword trong câu chủ đề, các bạn cần đặc biệt lưu ý về nghĩa gốc và ngữ cảnh sử dụng từ đó, tránh trường hợp chọn từ gần nghĩa thay vì từ đồng nghĩa, dẫn đến trường hợp tạo ra câu mới mang nghĩa không sát với câu gốc. Để tránh tình trạng này, các bạn nên truy cập vào đường link https://www.thesaurus.com để tra cứu những trường từ vựng đồng nghĩa phù hợp theo từng ngữ cảnh.

Ex 1: Tìm từ, cụm từ đồng nghĩa với các từ vựng trong đoạn văn sau:
a. To truly tackle traffic congestion, we need more realistic solutions than restricting people to stay indoors. One such solution can be improving public transportation. The convenience of public conveyance would discourage many to use their private cars, which is the primary reason for bad traffic in many cities. Furthermore, the government can encourage people to use an eco-friendly mode of transport, like the bicycle, by dedicating a separate lane for them. Many European and Asian cities, for example, already have separate cycle lanes and this has been truly effective in promoting environment-friendly vehicles and reducing traffic congestion.
b. With the change of the family structure and social norm, people these days want their children to excel in education and other creative fields rather than taking care of the family. Joint family predominated the society and parents had more children in the past. With the rise of the nuclear family and one-to-two-child-family policy, parents totally focus on a child's education, unlike the past. In my opinion, blaming children for not taking responsibilities is an impartial judgement as modern children have far more pressure from schools and parents. They are not expected to earn money or do house hold works in a well-to-do family. With the increasing literacy rates, less discrimination in a family, women empowerment and better lifestyle, the trend has more positive outcomes, without a doubt.
Ex 2: Sử dụng các từ đồng nghĩa được gợi ý và viết lại các câu sau:
a. Universities should accept equal numbers of men and women in every subject. (the same number of)
b. Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in seperate schools. (single-sex schools)
c. Even though globalization affects the world’s economies in a positive way, the negative side should not be forgotten. (In spite of / good effects / drawbacks)
d. The problem of deforestion is impossible to avoid, especially when people focus too much on making profits. (undeniable / concentrate on)
e. One of the main reasons for students to have higher education is to get high salary when graduated. (well-paid jobs)
f. The increasing level of pollution relates directly to the development of economy. (associated to)
g. Many people believe that government should provide free education to all citizens. (be equipped with / non-paid education)
h. It is undeniable to say that the gender inequality is still happening in the developing countries. (unavoidable / third world countries)
i. The urgent thing is to solve the existing problem about malnutrition in Africa. (crucial / deal with)
j. The main factors for dealing with the issue include both government and citizens. (tackle)
2. Cách 2: Dùng câu chủ động và bị động
- Trong trường hợp câu chủ đề là câu chủ động, bạn có thể sử dụng cấu trúc chuyển từ câu chủ động sang câu bị động và ngược lại. Đây cũng là một kĩ thuật hay sử dụng trong việc viết lại câu.
- Việc đầu tiên, bạn cần phân biệt được cấu trúc hai dạng câu này:
Câu chủ động: S + V/tobe
-> Câu bị động: S + tobe + P2

Ex 3: Gạch chân các cấu trúc bị động trong đoạn văn sau:
| Đoạn 1: The power of advertising is undeniable. The growth of the advertising industry has resulted in many people buying products of the same manufacture, which can be seen in the case of consumer goods. Today, the advertising campaigns of multinational companies such as Unilever have been remarked that their products almost dominate the market. Smaller enterprises tend not to be able to compete with these giant market leaders due to their disadvantages of capital poured into advertising programs. Thus, customers are often swayed to buy products of famous brands rather than those made by less well-known companies. |
| Đoạn 2: The most worrying aspect of nuclear technology is its use for military purposes by many high and mighty countries. Enough atomic bombs have already been made which are capable of completely destroying the planet. An increasing number of countries now have nuclear weapons or have the technology required to make such bombs, and there is an ongoing debate about how to control the threat of nuclear weapons. After the fall of Russia, many Russian scientists have found their nuclear technology expertise is in high demand in countries that have an ambition with nuclear technology. Many believe that, at that time, technology has been secretly made available to many aspiring countries such as Iraq, North Korea, India, Pakistan and others |
| Đoạn 3: School violence becomes very protrusive in many countries, most of which are caused by the attitudes of students. Some governments and the authorities show great concerns about the problems. From my point of view, these problems are aroused by three factors, the development of society, the influence of family and media and the weakness of school education. Thanks to the rapid development, the young students are offered more opportunities to contact the outside world. Due to the lack of social experience, some youngsters are not capable of distinguishing right from wrong. Curiosity drives them into imitating what they see on TV or from the people around them. |

Cách 3: Thay đổi từ loại

a. People want to enjoy a diverse type of food - prepare them at home or eat at (expensive/expensively) restaurants.

b. Now that we know the true (responsible/responsibility) of a teacher, we can (easy/easily) compare our parents and teachers. The things that we learn from our parents are far more (important/importance) than what we learn from our teachers.

We learn to survive, talk, and distinguish well from bad, values of life, morality and such important other things from our parents. We are the true (reflected/reflection) of our parents and our characters are shaped by their (personal/personality) and (behave/behaviours). Later the teachers help us to enhance our knowledge, horizon and our view of life but the very foundation and ground are made by our parents. The parents sacrifice so many things of their life just to ensure a better life for us and nothing in this whole world could even be compared with their (sacrifice/sacrificed) for us. Think of a student who is (able/unable) to pay his/her monthly school fees would be cast away from the school and the beloved teachers would (scarcely/scarce) be there to help him/her. On the other hand, the parents would always be there with their every (possibly/possible) effort to help the child.

In addition, personal cars give (comfort/comfortable) while travelling on the (contract/contrary) to the public buses which are so (crowd/crowded) and disgusting. You can read books, listen to music or even can play with kids while you are in your own car but those all seems to be impossible in a (public/publicly) transport. On the contrary, owning a car is very (expensively/expensive). The price of the car, the cost of the tax, insurance cost, fuel cost, driver's salary, car repairing etc. all must be considered before buying a car and that is why it is out of reach of the middle-class people.

Ví dụ:
Chủ ngữ giả “There”
