IV. RELATIVE CLAUSES (MỆNH ĐỀ QUAN HỆ)
Mệnh đề quan hệ là mệnh đề bắt đầu bởi các đại từ quan hệ như
who/whom/which/whose/that và các trạng từ quan hệ như where/when. Có hai loại mệnh đề
quan hệ: Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định (defining) và không xác định (non-defining).
1. Mệnh đề quan hệ xác định.
Là mệnh đề cần thiết phải có để làm chức năng giới hạn, làm rõ nghĩa danh từ đứng
trước nó. Mệnh đề này thường không có dấu phẩy trước và sau nó.
Eg: I don’t know the girl whom/that you met yesterday.
2. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định.
Là mệnh đề không cần thiết phải có để làm chức năng giới hạn danh từ đứng trước
nó, nghĩa là bản thân danh từ đứng trước nó bổ nghĩa. Vì thế mệnh đề này thường dùng sau
danh từ riêng hoặc các danh từ bổ nghĩa ( Mr. Pike, Mrs. Hoa, ..), thường có dấu phẩy trước
và sau nó.
Eg: Mr. Pike , who is my neighbor , is very nice.

Polar bears on an island in Russia are scaring people in a small town. At least 52 polar bears
have been seen wandering around the town of Belushya Guba. The town is on the island of
Novaya Zemlya, which is in the Arctic Ocean. The situation has become serious because the
bears have chased people and entered homes and offices. Local officials have declared a “polar
bear emergency". Local official Alexander Minayev said: “The people are scared. They are
frightened to leave homes and their daily routines are broken. Parents are afraid to let their
children go to school or kindergarten." A local said: "I have been [here] since 1983, but there
have never been so many polar bears in the vicinity."
Officials say the polar bears are roaming into towns looking for food. They say that climate
change is one reason for this. More sea ice is melting, which means the bears are moving into
new areas to find food. They are attracted by the smell of food in bins outside people's homes.
Town officials have asked for permission to kill the animals to reduce the danger to humans.
However, Russia's environmental agency has refused this request. Polar bears are classed as a
vulnerable species. The World Wildlife Fund says they are in danger because of the "ongoing
and potential loss of their sea ice habitat resulting from climate change". It is helping to keep
the polar bears away from the people of Belushya Guba

Hurricane Who?
Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North and South America.
These storms go around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit in the northern part of
the world. They have wind speeds of 60kph or more. In the United States, the Tropical
Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps! an eye out for hurricanes.
When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a male or
female name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name makes it easier for people
to keep up with information about a hurricane and its possible dangers.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides
what names will be used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English alphabet. Each
name on the list starts with a different letter. The first hurricane of the year gets the first name
on that year's list. The second hurricane gets the next name. For example, if the first hurricane
is named Abel, the second might be named Betty. The name lists do not include names
beginning with the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z. There aren't many names that begin with these
letters. 91 Asian countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon
Committee. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals,
trees, and other similar things
