II. Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Gender defines and differentiates what women and men, and girls and boys, are
expected to be and do (their roles, responsibilities, rights and obligations).
While there are very distinct biological differences between boys and girls and these
can create different needs and capacities for each, these differences do not in themselves
lead to or justify unequal social status or rights. The distinct roles and behaviours that are
defined for boys and girls, and men and women in a society may give rise to gender
inequalities, i.e. differences between men and women that systematically favour one
group.
Gender can be a key determinant of who does what, who has what, who decides, who
has power, and even who gets an education or not. In many societies, boys are seen as the
ones who should be educated, while girls are not.
UNICEF states that Gender equality means that women and men, and girls and boys,
enjoy the same rights, resources, opportunities and protections. Gender inequality arises
when one group is seen in a society as having more rights than the other. International
declarations such as CEDAW promote and defend women’s rights, and therefore, today,
gender equality is promoted as a fundamental condition for the full enjoyment of human
rights by women and men. This right is recognized as a condition for growth and
development and global organizations promote gender equality in their work.

Trang 8

inequalities requires profound transformations in social structures and relationships

Ha My: Oh, not much of a problem. I’m having a writing assignment about Viet
Nam and international organisations, but I’m confused about the names.
Minh An: (2) ________________________
Ha My: Actually, yes. I know that Viet Nam has already been a member of most of
the biggest organisations in the world, and I can write down the list. (3)
________________________ For example, the UN has several ‘family’
organisations, so how can we know if they belong to each other or have a connection?
Minh An: I think you’re talking about the names like UN, UNDP, UNESCO,
UNICEF, etc. which have the prefix ‘UN’.
Ha My: Yes. (4) ________________________
Minh An: Well, the United Nations and its component parts can be complicated
places. The acronyms we use to call them can be complicated, too.
Ha My: (5) ________________________
Minh An: Some of the names you might already recognize. A number of UN offices,
programmes and funds, such as the Office of the UN High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN
Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report to the General Assembly or the Economic
and Social Council. (6) ______________________
Ha My: What are autonomous organizations?
Minh An: Autonomous organizations mean they have their own governing bodies,
budgets and secretariats.
Ha My: (7) ________________________
Minh An: Yes, we can. Together with the United Nations, they are known as the UN
family, or the UN system.
Ha My: (8) ________________________
Minh An: The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) are autonomous bodies too, but they were
created by intergovernmental agreement. There are also the International
Labour Organization (ILO) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU), which are
even older than the UN.
Ha My: That’s interesting to know. Thank you very much for your help.

Flipped learning is an increasingly popular pedagogy in secondary and higher education.
Students in the flipped classroom view (1) __________ or online lectures as preclass
homework, then spend in-class time engaged in active learning experiences such as
discussions, peer teaching, presentations, projects, problem (2) __________ ,
computations, and group activities. In other words, this strategy “flips” the typical

Flipped learning is not simply a fad. There is theoretical (4) __________ that it should
promote student learning. According to constructivist theory, active learning enables
students to create their own knowledge by building upon pre-existing cognitive

II. Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
Hybrid learning is an educational model where some students attend class in-person,
while others join the class virtually from home. Educators teach remote and in-person
students at the same time using tools like video conferencing hardware and software.
In some cases, hybrid classes include asynchronous learning elements, like online
exercises and pre-recorded video instruction, to support face-to-face classroom sessions.
When planned well, hybrid courses combine the best aspects of in-person and online
learning while making education more attainable for many students.
For hybrid learning to be successful, the elements of your hybrid course need to be
tailored to the learning format, whether it be in-person or online.
Hybrid learning and blended learning can often be mistaken for one another, and both
contain many of the same instructional elements. However, both are two distinct learning
models.
Blended learning combines in-person teaching with asynchronous learning methods,
where students work on online exercises and watch instructional videos during their own
time.
Hybrid learning is a teaching method where teachers instruct in-person and remote
students at the same time. In hybrid learning models, asynchronous teaching methods can
be used to supplement synchronous, face-to-face instruction.

internet or by phone or video link
C. taking place with people physically present together in the same place or on the
internet or by phone or video link
D. taking place with people physically present together in the same place and on the
internet or by phone or video link

A. Students have to go to traditional classrooms in hybrid learning but they don’t do

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The coronavirus pandemic has increased the necessity of digital and online learning,
as most school and college students have spent longer periods at home than in school.
Many educationalists and parents have been calling for children to go back to the
classroom. There is the perception that no form of digital learning experience can surpass
the classroom experience.
A study called "Online Education Platforms Scale College STEM Instruction With
Equivalent Outcomes at Lower Cost” has found that students learned just as much in
online STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) college courses when
compared to traditional classroom settings. The reason for the STEM focus is due to a
current shortage of highly skilled professionals in these areas. These are sectors seen as
important for global recovery.
In making this point for the relative success of e-learning, Cornell University
researchers say that online learning can also be delivered at a fraction of the cost of the
traditional school setting (around an 80 percent reduction, on average). Similar savings
(albeit only 20 percent) can be made from a hybrid approach. The study used some 300
students based in Russia. To evaluate the data, scientists the researchers developed a
controlled, randomized trial to test if students learned as much in online classes compared
with traditional in-person classes. It was found that final exam scores did not differ
significantly among the three versions. Another benefit is where activity-based online
learning, rather than lecture-based, enhances student creativity.
Despite the equivalency in learning outcomes, there are other aspects of attending
school or college that cannot be adequately catered for online. It was discovered that
online students were less satisfied with their course experience compared to students in
in-person and blended classes.
