Hearing –impaired people cannot hear sounds well. How do they “hear” words and talks?
Mã đề :001
Many hearing – impaired people use American Sign Language (ASL). They talk with their hands. Sometimes
two hearing –impaired people talk to each other. They both use ASL. Sometimes a person who can hear interprets for
hearing- impaired people. The person listens to someone talking, and then he or she makes hand signs.
There are two kinds of sign language. One kind has a sign for every letter in the alphabet. The person spells
words. This is finger spelling. The other kind has a sign for whole words. There are about five thousand of these signs.
They are signs for verbs, things and ideas. Some of the signs are very easy. For example, eat, milk, and horse. You can
see what they mean. Others are more difficult, for example, star, egg, or week.
People from any country can learn ASL. They do not speak words. They use signs, so they can understand
people from other countries.
ASL is almost like a dance. The whole body talks. American Sign Language is a beautiful language.

a There are more signs for words than for letters.
b A person who interprets for hearing - impaired people can hear.
c Hearing -impaired people can not hear sound well.
d Africans cannot learn ASL because they don’t speak English
27/ How does a person interpret for hearing- impaired people?
a He listens to someone talking, and then makes hand signs.
b He listens to someone talking and writes down the words.
c He uses hand signs to translate what hearing -impaired people say.
d He talks through a special equipment used for the deaf.
28/ How do hearing - impaired people talk ?
a by words b by hands c by eyes d by signals
