Lỗi sai: C. a
Sửa lại: It's raining heavily. Why don't you take/get a taxi? (Đi taxi dùng "take/get a taxi")
I regret taking care of my dog better, it looks so bad.
Lỗi sai: A. taking
Sửa lại: I regret not taking care of my dog better, it looks so bad. (Câu này diễn tả sự hối tiếc vì đã không chăm sóc chó tốt hơn. Dùng "not + V-ing" sau "regret" để diễn tả sự hối tiếc về một việc đã không làm trong quá khứ.) hoặc I regret not having taken care of my dog better, it looks so bad. (Dùng hoàn thành phân từ để nhấn mạnh hành động đã xảy ra)

VIII. Viết lại câu với nghĩa tương đương (1.4 điểm)
She didn't use to go to work by bus.
=> She never went to work by bus. (Diễn tả thói quen trong quá khứ đã chấm dứt bằng "used to" ở dạng phủ định, có thể được diễn đạt bằng "never" + V2/ed)
"Don't forget to bring your umbrella," My mother said.
=> My mother reminded me to bring my umbrella. (Cấu trúc "remind someone to do something": nhắc nhở ai làm gì.)
Because the weather was bad, we postponed our trip.
=> If the weather hadn't been bad, we wouldn't have postponed our trip. (Câu điều kiện loại 3 diễn tả điều kiện trái với quá khứ. Hoặc: If the weather had been good, we wouldn't have postponed our trip.)
Does he seldom visit you?
=> He rarely/hardly ever visits you. (Các trạng từ tần suất "seldom", "rarely", "hardly ever" có nghĩa gần tương đương nhau, đều diễn tả tần suất ít khi xảy ra.)
He will have to stop doing his business soon because it is going badly.
=> He will have to close down/shut down his business soon because it is going badly. (Cụm động từ "close down/shut down" có nghĩa là đóng cửa doanh nghiệp.)
