Đáp án A
Tình huống giao tiếp
Tạm dịch: Shirley và nhân viên an ninh đang nói chuyện về thủ tục check-in sân bay:
Nhân viên: “Xin chào. Tôi có thể xem hộ chiếu của bạn được không.”
Shirley: “_______________”
Xét các đáp án
A. Đây ạ. Tôi không có vé đâu nhé vì tôi đã đặt trực tuyến.
=> Đáp án này phù hợp. Vì trên thực tế, khi đi máy bay và đến bàn quầy thông tin ở sân bay, người ta sẽ yêu cầu kiểm tra hộ chiếu/visa, vé máy bay, chứng minh thư và nếu có đồ đạc thì đưa lên để cân, rồi kiểm tra cả hành lý xách tay cá nhân có hợp lệ không. Sau khi xong thủ tục check-in này, người ta sẽ đưa cho bạn vé máy bay, các giấy tờ liên quan và thẻ lên máy bay nữa,...
=> Tóm lại, ý ở đây là khi đến bàn check-in ở sân bay, trong tình huống này họ đang mới chỉ hỏi mình về hộ chiếu, và dù họ chưa hỏi đến vé hay chứng minh thư như yêu cầu thường lệ, nhưng mình hoàn toàn có thể báo luôn là đã đặt vé onl rồi nên không cần mua vé ở đó nữa, vì tất cả các thủ tục đó đều được thực hiện tại bàn check-in này, và với một người hiểu rõ hoặc quen rồi thì họ biết sẽ phải làm gì tiếp theo, nên việc thông báo, cung cấp thêm thông tin như vậy hoàn toàn là chấp nhận được
B. Bạn đây rồi. Tại sao bạn không đến đây?
C. Tôi đây. Lấy làm tiếc. Tôi bị kẹt xe quá lâu.
D. Nó đây rồi. Bạn có thể nhìn thấy nó rõ ràng từ góc độ này.
-> Đáp án này không phù hợp. Thứ nhất, là vế đầu "here it is", cụm này dù dịch ra tiếng Việt thì rất hợp lý, nhưng bản chất là nó dùng để chỉ trỏ một vật nào đó, hoặc khi bạn đến nơi nào, hoặc khi tìm kiếm và thấy cái gì. Còn khi muốn cung cấp, chỉ ra cho đối phương thứ họ đang cần hoặc yêu cầu từ mình thì dùng "Here you are" là lịch sự và hay nhất, dù "here it is" cũng có thể dùng nhưng nó mang sắc thái thiếu trang trọng hơn rất nhiều.
=> Thứ hai, vế sau hoàn toàn không phù hợp. Khi hỏi về hộ chiếu, chỉ việc bảo "nó đây rồi" là đã hiểu rằng đồng thời khi đó, họ cũng đưa hộ chiếu ra cho nhân viên kiểm tra rõ trước mặt rồi, đâu phải nó ở trong ngóc ngách nào đó để nói rằng "nhìn rõ từ góc độ này", cảm giác rằng mình đang buộc người nhân viên phải nhìn hộ chiếu một cách khó khăn,...tóm lại là đáp án này không phù hợp.Nobody believed him although he managed to convince them _____his innocence.
He felt a sense of incredulity, anger and pain at the _________made against him.
Mysteriously, the light came on, __________no one was near the switch.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don’t know it’s raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn’t always reach the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent. They are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world’s oxygen. One fifth of the world’s fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
