History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances
in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist,
a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research
into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized
sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the
movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a
large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that
the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped
or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue
sequence.


In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be
read by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image,
guaranteeing synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This
system eventually brought us "talking pictures".

A. research into sound reproduction.

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 36 to 42.
There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These
learning styles describe the most common ways that people learn. Individuals tend to instinctively
prefer one style over the others; thus each person has a learning style that is dominant even though
he or she may also rely somewhat on the other approaches at different times and in different
circumstances.
Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their
view of the lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their
learning. They learn best from a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos,
diagrams, and flip-charts. Often, these learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to
visualize or remember something. When they are bored, they look around for something to watch.
Many visual learners lack confidence in their auditory memory skills and so may take detailed notes
during classroom discussions and lectures. Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They

enjoy listening and talking, so discussions and verbal lectures stimulate them. Listening to what
others have to say and then talking the subject through helps them process new information.
These learners may be heard reading to themselves out loud because they can absorb written
information better in this way. Sounding out spelling words, reciting mathematical theories, or
talking their way across a map are examples of the types of activities that improve their
understanding.
Kinesthetic learners may find it difficult to sit still in a conventional classroom. They need to be
physically active and take frequent breaks. When they are bored, they fidget in their seats. They
prefer to sit someplace where there is room to move about. They benefit from manipulating
materials and learn best when classroom subjects such as math, science, and reading are processed
through hands-on experiences. Incorporating arts-and-crafts activities, building projects, and
sports into lessons helps kinesthetic learners process new information. Physical expressions of
encouragement, such as a pat on the back, are often appreciated.
In addition to these traditional ways of describing learning styles, educators have identified
other ways some students prefer to learn. Verbal learners, for example, enjoy using words, both
written and spoken. Logical learners are strong in the areas of logic and reasoning, social learners
do best when working in groups, whereas solitary learners prefer to work alone. Research
shows that each of these learning styles, as well as the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic styles,
uses different parts of the brain. Students may prefer to focus on just one style, but practicing
other styles involves more of the brain's potential and therefore helps students remember more of
what they learn.

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 36 to 42.
There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These
learning styles describe the most common ways that people learn. Individuals tend to instinctively
prefer one style over the others; thus each person has a learning style that is dominant even though
he or she may also rely somewhat on the other approaches at different times and in different
circumstances.
Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their
view of the lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their
learning. They learn best from a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos,
diagrams, and flip-charts. Often, these learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to
visualize or remember something. When they are bored, they look around for something to watch.
Many visual learners lack confidence in their auditory memory skills and so may take detailed notes
during classroom discussions and lectures. Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They
enjoy listening and talking, so discussions and verbal lectures stimulate them. Listening to what
others have to say and then talking the subject through helps them process new information.
These learners may be heard reading to themselves out loud because they can absorb written
information better in this way. Sounding out spelling words, reciting mathematical theories, or
talking their way across a map are examples of the types of activities that improve their
understanding.
Kinesthetic learners may find it difficult to sit still in a conventional classroom. They need to be
physically active and take frequent breaks. When they are bored, they fidget in their seats. They
prefer to sit someplace where there is room to move about. They benefit from manipulating
materials and learn best when classroom subjects such as math, science, and reading are processed
through hands-on experiences. Incorporating arts-and-crafts activities, building projects, and
sports into lessons helps kinesthetic learners process new information. Physical expressions of
encouragement, such as a pat on the back, are often appreciated.
In addition to these traditional ways of describing learning styles, educators have identified
other ways some students prefer to learn. Verbal learners, for example, enjoy using words, both
written and spoken. Logical learners are strong in the areas of logic and reasoning, social learners

do best when working in groups, whereas solitary learners prefer to work alone. Research
shows that each of these learning styles, as well as the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic styles,
uses different parts of the brain. Students may prefer to focus on just one style, but practicing
other styles involves more of the brain's potential and therefore helps students remember more of
what they learn.

ngồi ở những vị trí trong lớp học nơi mà khơng vật cản trờ che khuất tầm nhìn của họ vào bài
học. Họ dựa vào các biểu hiện trên mặt và ngơn ngữ hình thể của giáo viên để giúp cho việc học
của mình. Họ học tốt nhất khi có sự kết hợp giữa các thiết bị hiển thị và bản trình bày trực quan

như các video có màu sắc, sơ đồ và biểu đồ lật. Thông thường, những người học này suy nghĩ
bằng hình ảnh và thậm chí có thể nhắm mắt để hình dung hoặc ghi nhớ điều gì đó. Khi họ thấy
chán, họ nhìn quanh tìm kiếm cái gì đó để xem. Nhiều người học qua thị giác thiếu tự tin trong
kĩ năng ghi nhớ bằng thính giác và vì vậy họ thường phải ghi chép chi tiết những thảo luận trong
