III READING
Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question
Approximately one in two thousand people in Viet Nam has a significant hearing loss Students who have been deafened in early childhood can be very different to students who have lost hearing later in life in terms of educational disadvantage For example, their range of vocabulary may be limited, which in turn may affect their level of English literacy
Deaf and hard of hearing students can sometimes prefer visual learning strategies This can be a challenge in an environment where much essential information is delivered exclusively by word of mouth
Students with a hearing loss may need to use assistive technology to participate in class This assistive technology can be the laptop where software such as Skype can
be used to deliver interpreters or captioning For some it will be in the form of listening devices For others, it will be a combination of technology that includes both listening devices and computer based software
The impact of hearing loss can cause delays in receiving learning material Students who need information transcribed from tape must sometimes wait for a significant period of time for this to happen This needs to be considered in terms of developing
suitable timelines for the completion of work for each student
Students with hearing loss may appear isolated in the learning environment The possibility for social contact and interaction with other students is often limited, and
Trang 4this isolation or separateness may have an impact on learning Participation and interaction in tutorials may be limited Students who cannot hear the flow and nuances of rapid verbal exchange will be at a disadvantage

different to students have lost hearing later in life because
A they have less disadvantage in English literacy
B they have a more significant hearing loss
C their vocabulary is good enough to affect their level of English literacy
D they suffer from more difficulty in expressing their ideas
Question 25 Assistive technology can help students with a hearing loss
A use software such as Skype to talk to interpreters
B better integrate into the study environment
C use listening devices and gain their hearing ability
D deliver the captioning in order for them to understand
Question 26 All of the following are true according to the text EXCEPT
that
A students with hearing impairments prefer visual learning
B assistive techpology is useful to disabled students to follow education
C deaf students can't complete their tasks in class
D hearing ability may affect the level of language skills
Question 27 Learning environment can have negative impact on deaf students
when
A they get no help from their friends or little communication
B they develop suitable timelines for the completion of works

rooms without knocking All of these actions demonstrate lack of respect
Consequently, these teenagers have little respect for their parents

because very few teens feel their parents really listen to them Instead, most parents tend to fire off an immediate response to their kids’ first sentence
Trang 17Freedom: Interestingly, most rebels come from very authoritarian homes where
kids have very little freedom Teens need fewer rules but they have to be clear and unchangeable Also, if the mother and father don’t agree about discipline, teens have less respect for both parents They also need a lot of effort and a little
freedom to make their own decisions None of them enjoys just listening to adults

become friends with people who share common interests – at school or through hobbies, for example
