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.
Question 30: 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

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
In America, when dining, people consider it rude for a guest or dining partner to belch
or burp, eat with an open mouth, smack, or lick your fingers. Napkins, generally provided
are available at every meal and should be placed in one’s lap and then used throughout
the meal to clean one’s fingers and mouth.
It is acceptable to refuse additional servings of food by saying “No, thank you” and
the host or hostess will not be insulted if you do so. Similarly, if you leave a small amount
of uneaten food on your plate at a restaurant or in a home, it is not considered an insult.
If you eat everything on the plate, a host or hostess may possibly feel that they have not
prepared enough food and might be embarrassed. People in the United States serve and
eat food with either hand, but never take food from a communal serving dish with their
hands. Generally, a serving utensil is used.
Americans typically use forks, spoons and knives to eat, but there are some types of
foods that are acceptable to eat with one’s fingers, like sandwiches or pizza. When in
doubt, look to see what others are doing. In formal dining situations, if you wonder
whether or not it is acceptable to begin eating, you should wait until the oldest woman (or
oldest man if no women are present) begins to eat. When eating, do not pick up the bowl
or plate from the table to hold underneath your mouth. Even noodles, soup, and rice are
eaten with the plate or bowl remaining on the table. When consuming soup and hot
liquids, it is considered impolite to slurp - do not do this. When consuming noodles, twirl
them around your fork and then put it in your mouth.

 If you are a man taking out a woman for dinner, you are almost always expected to
pay. This is for the woman to gauge your intentions and interest with her. For example,
taking a woman for coffee, versus tacos, v a fancy dinner, versus for drinks at 11:30pm,
all signal many different things to them. So, the date is a “test” of many. Paying is just as
important as where you take her, and how late. So, don’t assume she is just trying to get
a “free meal”. Most girls aren’t. Also, if you are going out with a friend to eat, almost
always, the bill is expected to be split in half, or each person pays for themselves.
If you are eating in a restaurant, you will be expected to add a 15 to 20 % tip for the
server to your bill. In America, wait staff might occasionally stop by your table to ask
how your meal is, which is considered good service. They will also bring you your check
when it seems reasonable that you are finished with your meal, however this is not
necessarily an indication that you must leave right away (Do not be too embarrassed to
ask for the check either: waiters and waitresses cannot read minds). Take your time to
finish your meal, and unless there is a line of people waiting at the door, it is not
considered rude to linger at your table for as long as you like.
