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 this 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.

Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage.

Generation gap refers to the difference in the ways of thinking and perception in the people of two different generations which results in behavioral differences, and sometimes, (26)            between them. In other words, it is the difference in the thinking of the people of older and younger generations that creates the (27)            of understanding between them. The most common example of generation gap is seen in the family between parents and their children. It is not only because of the gap in age but also because of the way parents (28)            to a particular situation.

Generation gap occurs not only between parents and children but also between teachers and students. Students are likely to enjoy the classes of an open-minded teacher, who shows mutual (31)            to the students. The teachers, who tend to keep their students under unnecessary strict disciplines and practise hard ways to make them obey the orders, are usually disliked by the students. This narrows minded thinking, especially (32)            in the teachers of the older generation, eventually creates a gap between the students and teachers.

Students take more interest and participate actively in the class discussion. An old teacher has (34)            - frequent use of electronic devices that makes lessons boring, which is not enjoyed by the students and it creates a gap between them.

To (35)            the generation gap, parents or teachers must be close to their children. They should show interest and give time to the children, have open communication, and allow the child to feel free in all the situations.

Southeast Asian Countries’ PISA Rankings 2012

Once every three years, 15-year-olds from around the world are tested on how well they know their reading, maths and science. This is called the Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA for short. It is run by the Organization for Economic Coopertation and Development or OECD. Over half a million students from 65 countries and economies took part in PISA 2012. The result of the latest PISA 2012 had been announced on 3 December 2013. Only five out of ten ASEAN countries participated in PISA 2012. They were Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

- Singapore ranked 2nd in maths and 3rd in reading and science;

- Vietnam, entered PISA tests for the first time, ranked 8th in science, 17th in maths and 19th in reading;

- Thailand has been the participant in the PISA tests since 2000. It ranked 47 in science, 48th in reading and 50 in maths;

- Malaysia got 52th in maths, 53rd in science and 59th in reading;

- Indonesia got 61st in reading and got 64th in maths and science.

Singapore’s 15-year-old students came in the top five in every area. Vietnamese students scored very well on all three PISA subjects. Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia ranked below average for the 65 countries assessed. The next administration of PISA is in 2015 and results will be reported at the end of 2016.

Becoming Independent

The step into adult life can be incredibly exciting, but it also brings with it a whole range of challenges. The (31)            and independence from family can feel great, but it can also be really hard. There are lots of decisions to make as you figure out what you want to do with your life.

Study… work… money… relationships… partying. There are lots of (32)            and decisions to be made. You may be thinking about leaving home, your career or independent life. Maybe you feel pressure to ‘make something of yourself’ or to be a success. This pressure might be from other people or from within yourself.

Most people will feel some (33)            or worry about these things; for others, these added challenges can make life quite hard and contribute to depression or anxiety.

If you can’t find work or have lost your job or left education early, it brings all sorts of challenges. The most obvious challenge is having no money. You may feel a sense of failure that can knock your (34)            . These changes may also mean you’re not in regular contact with other people any more.

It’s not just unemployment which can contribute to depression. Lack of job (35)            can also play a part. As you’re figuring out what you want to do work wise, or struggling with your work and social life, you might find that you’re not actually enjoying the job you chose.

Read the article and answer the questions that follow.

Is There Really a Generation Gap?

According to the results of a survey in USA WEEKEND Magazine, there isn’t really a generation gap. The magazine’s “Teens & Parents” survey shows that today’s generation of young people generally get along well with their parents and appreciate the way they’re being raised. Most feel that their parents understand them, and they believe their parents consider family as the No. 1 priority in their lives. Although more than a third of teens have something in their rooms they would like to keep secret from their parents, it is usually nothing more harmful than a diary or a CD.

Such results may seem surprising in the context of the violent events that people hear about in the media. Maybe because of the things they hear, parents worry that their own kids might get out of control once they reach the teenage years. However, the facts in the survey should make us feel better. The survey shows us that today’s teens are loving and sensible. They are certainly happier than the angry people in the teenage stereotypes we all know about. True, some teenagers are very angry, and we need to recognize their needs, but the great majority of teens are not like that at all.

In contrast to some stereotypes, most teens believe they must be understanding about differences among individuals. Many of them volunteer for community service with disadvantaged people. When they talk about themselves, their friends and their families, they sound positive and proud. Generally, these are very nice kids.

Is this spirit of harmony a change from the past? Only a generation ago, parent-child relations were described as the “generation gap”. Yet even then, things were not so bad. Most kids in the 1960s and 1970s shared their parents’ basic values.

Perhaps, however, it is true that American families are growing closer at the beginning of this new millennium. Perhaps there is less to fight about, and the dangers of drug abuse and other unacceptable behavior are now well known. Perhaps, compared to the impersonal world outside the home, a young person’s family is like a friendly shelter, not a prison. And perhaps parents are acting more like parents than they did 20 or 30 years ago.

Question 36. According the first paragraph, what did the survey find out about teenagers?

A. They get along well with their parents.                              

B. They appreciate good CDs.

C. They keep secrets from their parents.                                

D. They stay in their rooms.

Question 37. According to paragraph two, parents hear things that make them worry about their own kids. What kind of things do they hear?

A. stories on the radio                                                             

B. the violent events in the media

C. funny films on TV                                                             

D. their teachers’ comments at school

Question 38. What is the stereotype referred to in paragraph 2?

A. Teens are people who recognize their needs.                     

B. Teens are loving and sensible.

C. Teens are much happier than we think.                              

D. Teens are angry people.

Question 39. What is the main subject of paragraph three?

A. Differences between teens.                                                

B. Stereotypes about teens.

C. The positive attitude of teens to others.                            

D. Volunteering for disadvantaged people.

Question 40. In what way, according to the writer, are parents today different from they were a generation ago?

A. there is more to fight about                                                

B. the dangers of drug abuse are still unknown

C. other unacceptable behaviors are now well known           

D. a young person’s family is like a prison

V.  LISTENING

Listen a small talk about volunteerism and fill in each blank with ONE word.

Being a (41)            is one of the best things you can do with your life. It’s a (42)            way to help other people. It’s also very (43)            to know that you are not wasting your time and are helping people who need help. Many of us could and should be out there doing voluntary (44)            of some kind. So many volunteer (45)            need extra hands. It really is easy. Just pick up the phone and offer your (46)            . I think too many of us settle into a lazy (47)            . We just want to come home and watch TV. Life is much more (48)            when you’re a volunteer. I’ve found it really (49)            your eyes to how some people live. It’s sometimes sad to see how the (50)            lets people down, but at least I’m doing my bit.
