PHÁT ÂM
Cách làm bài tập chọn từ có phần gạch chân được phát âm khác so với các từ còn lại
- Chọn đọc 3/4 từ có trong các đáp án A, B, C, D. Tuy nhiên, không cần đọc lần lượt từ đáp án A đến D
mà nên chọn đọc những từ mình chắc nhất về cách phát âm.
- Sau mỗi từ được phát âm, cẩn thận ghi xuống âm của phần gạch chân trong mỗi từ.
- Chọn đáp án có phần gạch được phát âm khác so với các từ còn lại. Ví dụ 1: A. land /lænd/ B. sandy /’sændi/ C. many /’meni/ D. candy /’kændi/
=> Ta thấy phần gạch chân của các đáp án A, B, D được phát âm là /æ/, đáp án C có phần gạch chân
được phát âm là /e/. Do đó, đáp án là C. BÀI TẬP ÁP DỤNG 1

Các quy tắc đánh trọng âm 2
1. Trọng âm theo phiên âm
- Trọng âm không bao giờ rơi vào âm / ə / hoặc là âm /ə /.
ʊ Nếu như trong một từ có chứa cả hai loại
âm là / ə / và /ə / thì trọng âm rơi vào phần có chứa âm /ə ʊ /. ʊ Ví dụ 4:
+ mother /’mʌðə/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất vì âm thứ 2 có chứa âm / ə /. + hotel /hə ’t
ʊ ɛl/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ hai vì âm thứ nhất có chứa âm /ə /. ʊ
+ suppose /sə’pə z/: trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai. ʊ
- Trọng âm thường rơi vào nguyên âm dài hoặc nguyên âm đôi hoặc âm cuối kết thúc với nhiều hơn một phụ âm. Ví dụ 5: + disease /d 'zi ɪ z/: ː
từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2 vì âm thứ 2 có chứa nguyên âm dài /i /. ː
+ explain /ɪk'sple n/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 2 vì âm thứ 2 có chứa nguyên âm đôi /e ɪ /. ɪ + comprehend /k mpr ɒ
'ɪ hɛnd/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ 3 vì âm thứ 3 kết thúc với 2 phụ âm /nd/.
- Nếu tất cả các âm mà ngắn hết thì trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết thứ nhất. Ví dụ 6:
+ happy /’hæpi/: từ này có trọng âm rơi vào âm tiết đầu, vì cả /æ/ và /i/ đều là nguyên âm ngắn.
2. Trọng âm với hậu tố/ đuôi
a. Hậu tố/ đuôi nhận trọng âm
-eer, -ee, -oo, -oon, -ese, -ette, - esque, - ade, - mental, - nental, - ain
b. Hậu tố/ đuôi làm trọng âm rơi vào trước âm đó
- ion, - ic, - ial, - ive, - ible, - ity, - graphy, - ious/eous, - ish, -ian
c. Hậu tố/ đuôi làm trọng âm dịch chuyển ba âm tính từ cuối lên
-y, - ce, -ate, - ise / ize, - ism / izm
d. Hậu tố không ảnh hưởng đến trọng âm của từ
-ful, - er, - or, - ist, - ous, - ly, - hood, - ship, - ment, - al, - less, - ness, - age, - ure,- ledge,- ing, - ed, -

...nor thì câu hỏi đuôi là sẽ chia ở số nhiều.
